thing under $4,000 in America to-
day, and the Federal Government takes
a good part of this in taxes. Part of
those taxes go for public housing pro-
jects, and stepped-up public housing is
desired by the Administration. Public
housing is form of charity. The idea
is that taxpayers will kick in so that
poor people will have better homes than
they can afford to rent.
In New York City, it has just been
announced that hereafter families of
five with incomes up to $8,112 year
will be accepted as public housing ten
ants. This means that average families
all over American will be Smelling out
from their average incomes so that

will get out of paying full rent.
If you are citizen of about average
income, paying local taxes for improve
ments in your town, you should be in
terested to know how charitably your
Federal tax dollar is being handed out
these days.

pride held in the airport by the
people of that community.
Mr.. Editor. Farmville has
much of which to be proud,
namely the fine Woman's col
lege, Longwood, and the pro-
gressive economy, but, I am a
fraid it cannot take the same
pride in the airport bearing
your city's name.
Private flying has brought
people closer together and has
opened new doors for industry
in aggressive communities
where the doors Of good airports
have been opened to the planes
of these people and these indus
tries seeking a home.
Thank you for reading this
I do hope it may encourage you
and other community leaders to
talk some positive action.

Excellent Corps
Spirit At Hospital

Editor Of Herald:
/ am writing in a very brief
and limited way of the Southside
Hospital. On three different oc-
casions l spent some seventy
days there.
1t is a place of excellent man
agement. efficient staff, of able
doctors, superior nurses and
faithful employees.
The building is an attractive
one. spotlessly clean. The equip
ment is of the highest order.
However, the best thing about
it is the spirit Of all connected
with its operation. The patient
feels this in every way-a very
great help.
The greatest problem is its sue
cess. A day will come, if not
already here, where some expan-
sion will be necessary.
Farmville and vicinity are
most fortunate to have such an
organization. 1 only wish I could
express adequately my gratitude
for it.

permit free parking for many
years to come.
An Investment for Young People
Young married couples are
learning that by living close to
a modern supermarket like the
new Stop and Shop Markets
they can get along without cook
ing. The father can get his own
breakfast: lunch is a simple
meal: and freshly baked al
ready-cooked complete dinner
may be secured from the super
market. AS a result, the small
houses surrounding the super
market have almost doubled in
price. This increase in demand
comes primarily from living so
near a supermarket. But, of
course. the supermarket is
gradually buying houses adjoin-
ing its land.
A young married couple should
first put their money into simple
life insurance; which can now be
bought very cheaply. Next. al
ways have q reasonable deposit
in a local bank for emergencies.
The best plan Of all. however
both for the convenience and as
. good investment for apprecia-
ton - is to own a small house
next to the Land for q supermar-
ket. Furthermore. If q family de-
cides to move to another city for
business reasons. there is always
a good demand for such prop
erty. In short. I am bullish on
good supermarkets and the
neighborhoods in which they are
located. But one should avoid
newly srganized supermarkets.

Double Check

From reports across the Ma
ton and around the World these
are very trying times. There is
no Nation that is not in some
way involved or in a fringe dis
lance with what we are entering
into or just beginning to come
out of. 1 do not know if we will
remain a cocoon or be beauti-
full butterfly but whatever
happens will be most satisfac-
tory hope. Those in charge
have learned a good deal. 1t may
bring back brotherhood.
So far the cool headed collect
iveneSs of the President and
State Departments have inspired
others to go along in this great
decision that may even get to
the Summit Our World affairs
are even better than many
would have you believe altho at
times very tense. We have yet to
find one nation that really wants
WAR. Any failures to come to
US real hurting will come from
the inside of America. Brace
yourself for tax increases and
m my m any fundamental
changes that you didn't think
you could stand.
The Byrd Clan just had a
meeting you can stand it.
There is little doubt that county,
state expenditures will be in
line with National on a reach
for the Moon finale Of the One
hundred Billion mark. In this
here is no recession as high as
they build 'em we should reach |
the Moon without flying.

since public schools have been inopera-
tive has it been impossible to have edu-
Gated all of the county's youngsters.
Negro leaders and patrons have refused
to cooperate in any plan for education
for their children. Court procedures in
stituted by them under NAACP leader
ship have brought the problem no near
err to solution. Decisions of Courts,
which produced the dilemma in 1854,
have contributed nothing toward solu-
ton for the benefit of education for peo-
pie in rural areas especially in the
South. Education has been sacrificed
upon the altar of Indignation in many,
many areas, both north and south.
1t appears to us that the same courts
which caused the dilemma by their de-
cisions should feel an obligation to seek
a solution within the law. Judicial
legislation, produced by court decis-
ions, never contemplated by the trainers
of the Constitution, is slow and ardu
Gus process bringing suffering, sacrifice
injustice and irreparable losses to the
people involved. 1t appears to us that
those Who fomented this present dilem-
ma certainly are obligated to use judy
ment in equity to find solution.

Farmville Airport
Looks Better From
Air Than Ground

Editor of Herald:
A few weeks ago, l landed at
your airport in Farmville.
From the air, the field looks
very well laid out and could
be a most welcome spot to pilots
flying near your city. Before
landing. l took a couple Of pic
lures showing how inviting the
air field appears to a pilot with
the need for gas or rest.
My thoughts changed a great
extent once on the ground. Motto
ing a few planes parked on what
might be termed the ramp, one
is lead to believe there is some
activity going on, but the thought
Of what could be going on enters
the mind if just a few things
were improved and the airport
made the part of the city SINH
lar to that found in other COM
munities your size.
In taking with some of the
pilots at the airport, it was very
easy to agree with them latter
having just landed that simply
rolling the runways and leveling
them out would be a great i'm
prOvement. Id hate to think
what could happen to a pilot
and his plane if he were seeking
refuge, at your field and was
unaccstomed to lit and hit some
of the holes which are not visible
until you are right on them.
That's too late!!
There are fields across our
country which are not an asset
to the community. In most cases,
these are the result of misman-
agement or complete lack of
interest on the part of the COM
munity involved. It takes a
transient pilot only one visit to
scratch that field off his list of
good places to CO."
The conversation with the pi-
lots on your field indicated that
they play a great role in the
agricultural economy of your
area. The spraying they do,
treacherous and demanding Of
top-notch ability, undoubtedly
saves numerous crops from dis
astrous losses caused by insects.
This alone is reason enough to
have at lest average conditions
available for these pilots.
Aviation has rapidly become
family avocatior. Week ends are
times when the entire group can
wing off to visit people and
places. People and places in
cities where no. or next-to-none
airports exist don't get visited.
These are flown over in search
of good runways. clean build
ings. adequate servicing, and
most of all, cordial people ex-
tending greetings of their com

Milestone

DEDICATION of the new Prince Ed
ward Academy building Sunday
marked another milestone in the search
for solution of the school dilemma,
which was thrust upon the people of
Prince Edward County The pride, de-
monstrated by the students, the teach
ers, and all of those people who had
part in making this modern secondary
school building possible impressed the
many visitors from outside the county.
Again, after two years Of visiting" in
temporary quarters both teachers and
students have something of their own
1T was like moving into your own
modern new home, student said.
THAT is why we are SO proud of our
new school building"
For the hundreds of people who had
contributed to the building of this plant
sense of ownership and pride was
felt.
For those people who are seeking
solution for providing educational OPP
portunities to all of the children of this
county in manner acceptable to them,
this dedication provides hope for an
early solution of the besetting problem.

Babs0n Discusses Supermarkets

BABSON PARK, MASS. Sept.
The New York Stock Ex-
change roughly divides into so
groups the approximately 1880
stocks which are listed thereon.
The electronicS and the oils are
the most active. but the retail
stores have shown the most
steady progress. This group
includes the supermarkets, of
which there are about Is large
chains.
Supermarkets Are a Monopoly
A successful supermarket must
have three requirements: a. It
must be located in the center of
. growing population, % it must
have a very large parking space
49, it must be financed slowly
out of its own growth. This
means that a successful super
market is more or less of a mo-
nop0ly after a sufficient number
OF successful years.
As our population increases it
becomes constantly more diff
cult to secure sufficiently large
and central location. Further
more. these locations are con-
stantly becoming scarcer and
much harder to find near the
residential sections. At one time
We thought that "off street"
parking lots would satisfy city
shoppers. Unfortunately. how
ever. women with children do
not want to travel from an loft
street" parking lot to the super
market. They insist on parking
directly on the land Of the super
market where . boy can wheel
the purchases to the woman's car
and where there is no time limit
or parking fee.

all commodities. The farmer
should receive more than he
does. but his price is not for him
to determine. The party who
makes money on food is the
middleman. who buys when and
where food is cheapest.
Another commodity that has
had a steady increase in demand
is electricity. Hence I like super
markets as speculation and the
cumulative preferred stocks of
public utilities for steady income.
To keep track of your invest
ment. buy the common stock of
the supermarket with which you
trade and the preferred stock of
the company which supplies your
electricity and bills you each
month.
What About Shopping Center?
Shopping centers are popular
at the present time. But only the
ones properly located have been
successful. Merchants located in
these shopping centers are doing
much better than the downtown
stores. Many of the old-fashioned
city stores which have no park
ing facilities are making most
of their money today from their
suburban branches that have
limited parking facilities. There
fore. the shopping center has its
limitations.

large. it becomes less desirable

LONDON - Inc British Mu-

Not Just anybody can use this

To someone versed in Ameri-
can library methods of catalogu-
