and a united Germany, while
the country builds up its nation
al economy" said Eric Isen-
stead.
His father, a civilian connect
ed with the u. S. Army, has
been stationed in several Sec
tons of Germany, including
Frankfurt, Munich and Bonn,
giving Eric an excellent oppor-
tunity to view the customs and
habits of the country's people,
especially the high school age
group.
World problems are more
widely discussed by German
teenagers than by their Amer
lean counterparts, Eric said.
With a divided capital the cen-
ter of an international crisis,
students there are more con-
cerned about all world prob
lens" than those here, he feels.
Eric attended an American
controlled high school but was
chosen as an exchange student
to attend a local German school
for a week, thus giving him an
inside look at the average
pupils.
Some Of the likenesses he OBJ
served are that the fashions,
along with the general tastes of
most of the students, are COM
parable with those of this coun-
try's teens. Fads, including
short skirts for girls, are COM
mon, and few boys can be seen
sloppily dressed.
Soccer Is the national sport
and Is intellectually supported
by high school rooters. Although
football, (which is, Of course,
derived from soccer) is lacking,
school spirit similarly runs high
for their own very popular
games, which are played almost
the year round.
While the Hot Shoppes are
the favordte post-game meeting
place here, the Germans have
their sidewalk cafes, he said.
Eric discussed an interesting
topic for many-that of drivers
licenses. It seems that little
interest is shown by most Ger
man teenagers for driving.
Daters see nothing wrong with
using buses for transportation
to movies, parties, dances and
so forth.
Licenses are available only to
those who are 18 or older, and
the required test is quite diff
cult. This may appear rather
unusual to residents Of this
area, since licenses are acquired
here by many as soon after
their 18th birthday as possible.
German teenagers prefer clas-
steal music over rock and roll.
School dances, reports Eric, are
not held as frequently as they
are here.
The student-teacher relation
ships in the German school Eric
visited were much closer than
those existing here. During one
of the four three-week vacations
they have, instead OF a three
month summer vacation, he
said 1t is not uncommon for a
teacher to take a group of stu
dents on trip, or get together
for an outing.

Steady Income
Measurements made on plant
ed pine plantations show that it
is not unreasonable to expect
from $40 to $40 per acre net in
come per year over a So
year period. That compares fav-
orably with the return from some
other widely-accepted crops. A
great advantage in growing pine
seedlings is that once planted
they require little work except to
protect them from fire.
Don Morton, watershed fores-
ter with the district headquarters
Of the Virginia Division of Fores-
try at Farmville, prepared the
following outline of plan readily
adopted to Prince Edward coun-
ty situations. Morton states:
A continuous income can be
obtained from the woodland if a
plan is developed so that a por-
ton Of it is converted to pine
seedlings each year. The wood
land should be divided into blocks
of five to ten acres or larger, de-
pending on the size of the farm.
Each year the farmer should
make plans to plant one of the
blocks in pine seedlings.
One Man Job
Once the trees reach the size
to be thinned for pulpwood there
will be continuous yearly in
come from thinning and harvest
ing products. The big advantage
of this program is that the farm
er can do the planting himself
and can also harvest the forest
products from an area this size
