attempt to settle the national
ist rebellion in neighboring
Algeria.
Paris Prepares Note
Mr.. Bourguiba's whole aim
seemed to be to chalk up some
sort of propaganda point in
advance of any agreement
making Algeria independent
from France. A fully lndepend-
ent Algeria would normally
have preponderant weight in
North African affairs as COM
pared to it's much smaller
neighbor Tunisia.
In Pairs, French officials said
a formal note on Bizcrte is
being prepared. They accused
the Tunisians of having staged
the Bizerte attack without watt
ing for negotiations with
France on the future of the
base.
The French accused the
Tunisians of starting the hos
tilities by firing on a French
helicopter. They said the
French did not fire back until
later in the day when TuniSianS
began firing at planes bringing
in French paratroopers from
Eastern Algeria.
Volunteers Join Siege
Thousands of civilian vol
unteers" joined the Tunisian
troops and guardsmen at posts
ringing the French enclave to
bolster the blockade imposed
yesterday by Mr.. Bourguiba.
Slogan chanting volunteers
streamed northward from Tunis
to join the siege of the French
garrison. Thosands. boarded
trickety trucks, shouting I'VE
shall win or die" as they rolled
over the dusty roads.
The 5.000-man French garri-
son was bolstered by 800 para
troopers from Algeria, dropped
under Tunisian antiaircraft fire
yesterday.
In South Tunisia, meanwhile,
other volunteers" were re-
ported continuing a march to
plant the red-and-white Tu-
nisian flag at Sahara marker
233. Mr.. Bourguiba, at the same
time he ordered the French out
of Bizerte, declared the desert
area limited by the marker to
be Tunisian territory.
Arabs Blast Bourguiba
The French, who are develop
ing the rich Edjele oil field far
ther into the desert, claim the
marker is Is miles beyond the
Tunisian border.
Mr.. Bourguiba,S claim on the
Sahara, which the Algerian
rebels have said would have to
be settled with an independent
Algeria and not with France,
brought condemnation in Da-
maScus newspapers.
This claim exposed this
Tunisian President to the world
and Arab public opinion as an
Arab ruler who stabs Arabism
in one of it's dearest aspira-
tions: The liberation of Al
geria," Sawt el-Arab said.
Al-Nasr said: "Bourguiba s
timing of his claim casts
shadows of doubt on his inten-
tions. But the ugliest thing in
Bourguiba'S claim is that it
amounted to a stab in the back
for the Algerian people whose
heroism and courage have won
the admiration of all hu-
manity."

Census, manufacturing is again

Leading Activities
The report notes that in 1910
and 1850 in Powhatan the two
categories employing the most
m les were agriculture and
manufacturing, with the former
declining Is per cent and the lat
ter jumping up by 54 per cent
over a period of ten years.
Statistics furnished by the Cen
Sus of 1850 show that 1886 per-
sons were employed. Of that
number ZIG were engaged in
agriculture of one form or an
other and 1854 in manufacturing.

third in employment categories
with 178 persons. The 1854 persons

self, but could be employed in
Richmond or elsewhere.
The principal industry in Pow
hatan at present is agriculture.
The bottom lands along the
James River are especially good,
and some of the largest and best
farms in the state are located
here. However. many of the
farms are small, and well over
one-half of them are partime.
General farm crops are grown.
Tobacco acreage with the allot-
ment system has decreased while
pastures have been increased to
provide for a continuing increase
Of beef cattle and dairy herds.
Dairy products constitute almost
one-half of all farm sales.

POWHATAN. Oct. 9 ~ Powha-
tan's per capita income can be
expected to rise as its inhabi-
tants are drawn away from agri-
culture into better paying occu-
pations if the county continues to
grow in the future as it has in
the past decade.
That is a projection contained
in a report prepared by the Pow
hatan County Planning Commits
sion in conjunction with Vir-
ginia's Division of Industrial De-
velopment and Planning.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-10-10

The Bureau of Population and
Economic Research at the Uni
versity of Virginia estimates that
per capita income in the county
was 81 per cent of the state aver
age in 1855. Applying the 1855
ratios to those Of 1858, Powha-
tan's per. capita income of 81, 122
was somewhat above that of
Amelia, Cumberland and Gooch-
land, but substantially below that
of Chesterfield and Henrico.
Figures on employment are
very relevant for analysing the
economic base of an area. Agri-
culture accounted for a larger
number of workers in 1910 and
1850 than any other category, but
manufacturing accounted for 1872
per cent employed in 1850, a 60
