next three fire-cured crops and
there will be acreage allctments,
penalties on excess tobacco, and
price support available to grow

allotment. If more than. one
third of the voters do not ap-

and 1864 crops.
James E. Ford, county ASC

Those voting will be the ones
who make the decision. Everyone

or sharecropper is eligible to
vote in this referendum.

Not Really At Huguenot Academy
BIRTHDAYS Are 'F0r The Birds -

Realizing there was so much
food for the mind" in the idea
planned. Mrs. Richardson, Mrs.
Kenneth w. Haas. Mrs. Pierce
Ashby. Mrs. Jean Goodwin, and
Mrs. Eugene Walton, mothers of
the five students, met at 1890
pm. at the school, with their
guests, Mrs. Cedric Evans, of
Hallsboro. and Mrs. w. G. Chris
tan, of Powhatan county. who
presented a most interesting
tudy of birds. their characters
tics, and habitats.
Stressing the need to feed the
birds. all of the students were
shown how to prepare suet fed
ers and what other types of feed
should be prepared.
Each child was given cello
plane bag containing a varied
mixture to take home.
A very beautiful rectangular
birthday cake "for the birds"
prepared by the guests was pre-
sented to the children, all iced
with suet, and candles to com
plete its effectiveness.
Truly the birds around Hugue-
not Academy will relish this cake
and all the children will be able
to further increase their know
ledge of birds as they observe
their feeding habits.
Mrs Evans is an authority on
wild flowers, birds. and things of
nature. Much to the surprise OF
all, two small live lambs were
brought in for the children to OBJ
serve as a climax to their inter
eStlng program. One lamb was
solid black, the other white with
black face and feet, and most OF
the children said they had never
even seen a lamb of any kind
Light refreshments of Gun
cakes and punch were served by
the mothers of the birthday chill
dren to all present. This was
done at the close of the lunch
hour.

years ago was the fact that the
need had grown so great that it
represented very large amount
OF money. II the vote had been
held ten years earlier it would
have had a much better chance
Of passage. he thought.
The speaker declared that the

And, if Route "a comes by

separating Amelia from Rich

Horner, in addressing some Of
his remarks to the rural citizens
who live outside the Amelia
courthouse area, said that they
should not have any fears about
the project since it should bring
more taxable property into the
county and thus be an indirect
aid to them.

FESTIVAL COMMITTEE AT WORK

FESTIVAL COMMITTEE A WORK
IT is GOOD to note that the Festival Committee is al
ready getting down to work, and a number Of meetings are
being scheduled to get the 1861 program under way. The
new officers, headed by David c. Cenegata, J, know the
situation at first hand, having worked with the Festival
before.
IT is NOT TOO early, for there is much to be done.
1t should be remembered that the Festival has been growing
by leaps and bounds each and every year, and that by now
it has become a permanent part of our Christmas holidays.
American newspapers have carried news items about it, and
people look forward to it.
TWO POINTS, BOTH of which have already been
mentioned, might stand repeating here. First, the Christmas
Festival Committee should point its emphasis towards sche-
duIing a pilgrimage of Virgin Islanders from New York to
the Islands; and second, it can consider seriously the matter
of incorporating the Festival.
ON THE MATTER of the pilgrimage the Festival Com
mittee can either work at it directly, or can look into engag-
ing a tourist firm to handle the details. The merits of such a
move are 50 apparent that arguments in>its favor seem I'M
necessary. There are thousands of Virgin Islanders on the
mainland. Scores and scores of these always think OF their
home, and Of returning for a visit. What better time, then,
than the Christmas holidays, when the Festival makes the
season a bright and delightful one?
IN ADDITION, time is coming when we have to
induce our fellow citizens to think in terms of contributing
their skls and everything else to these Islands, and a visit
at Christmas can be an excellent opportunity to look around,
renew acquaintance and enjoy themselves. Because OF the
role these natives play on the mainland, we need them in
political and other ways. The pilgrimage at Christmas-time
is therefore the most logical time and occasion to welcome
many of them back home.
AS FOR INCORPORATING, the Festival has now
come Of age. 1t handles thousands and thousands of dollars.
1t is here to stay, and it is growing. Through incorporation
the Festival can be assured Of continuous operation, and
those who work with it can be relieved of personal liability
in some ways. 1t would be much better to work with a per-

manent, officially recognized corporate body than with a

WE LOOK FORWARD to even greater things for the
Festival this year under the guiding hand Of a committee
which knows its business, and is ready, willing and able to
perform the task.
