the third game will be the one Il
1t is remarkable what a fine
field has sprung up at Crewe. 1t
is the same kind of community
action that saw the Farmvllle
field materialize in a matter OF
months. Interested citizens work
ing together is combination
that is impossible to beat.
Crewe Just opened their tennis
courts also, in an adjoining area.
This is the next step for the
Farmville Recreation area. and
it will be valuable contribu-
ton to the overall program.
FROM THE NOTEPAD:
The officiating in the Little
Boys games playoffs has been ex-
cellent. The jumps are all well
qualified and they have done a
fine impartial job of calling EN-
as they see EN-.
The Farmville All Stars have
powerful batting team. Alex
Skidmore has two hOmerS to his
credit in two games. both power
full blows, that were timely. bad
~ needed hits. Fans are still
pointing to the light post in right
field where Alex smacked the
ball in the first game.
One experienced observer COM
mented that Skidmore's homer
was the longest hit ball he had
ever seen in the Farmville park.
Alexis second homer, the one at
Crewe, looked like it went over
the flagpole in center field. but
we'll have to settle for saying
that it almost went over the
flagpole.
Henry Brown gets the honors
for being ''Mr. Pep" on the
Farmville team. He is right on
the ball, full of chatter. and wide
awake. In the first game Henry
stole third base, but was called
back to second since time was
out. AS soon as the ump said,
PLAY ball." Henry Immediately
stole third again. His stealing
caught up with him at CreWe,
however, as he was tagged out
twice in close plays. He got his
revenge by tagging out several
Crewe players with some fine
ball handling on second base.
Johnny Campbell gave some
fine assists behind the plate. In
the first game during the fifth
inning Johnny made nice catch
of a foul ball that retired the
side. with a couple of Crewe men
on base. It was a timely out that
pulled the Farmville stars out of
a hole.
David Harper demonstrated the
good craftsmanship that is typi-
cal of the Farmville All Stars.
David hit creWe batsman with
a pitched ball. and Immediately
showed his concern by going up
to see how the batter was. In
fact. the entire Farmville team
deserves plenty of credit for
their craftsmanship. After losing
the opening round. they went
over spontaneously to congratu-
late their opponents on winning
the game. Sportsmanship does
not in any way diminish the de-
sire to win and the Farmville
boys showed that Tuesday night,
as they proceeded to tee off on
three Crewe pitchers.
Roger Yeats put Farmville S
morale sky high in the second
inning against Crewe Tuesday
night. He snacked a double that
drove in two runs, and from then
on it was all Farmville.
Jackie Womack's home run for
Farmville in the first game look
ed mighty welcome as the home
team was trailing. His blast soar
ed over the fence and boosted
sagging spirits. Farmville was in

Foundation
Posts for
Cottage
By DOUGLAS TUoMEY
Contributing Writer

Thousands of light frame
bungalows and summe
houses have been built by the
owners and improved year
after year.
In most cases. when it
comes to the foundation, the
owners think in terms of
concrete-blocks or other ma
Sonry material. and overlook
the fact that houses can be
built on wood posts both
solidiy and economically, pro-
viding of course that the posts
are locust or cypress posts or
treated to withstand rotting
when buried in the ground.
The actual mechanics of
installing a post foundation
start with the same methods
used in a masonry founda-
ton. In other words, the
elevation of the house floor
must be established and the
top of the posts set to reach
it.
After this is determined.
holes are dug about two feet
square and three or four
inches Of concrete dumped in
and evened off for a sub
stantial base or footing. This
will prevent the posts being
forced into the ground by the
weight of the building. The
soil is then back-filled all
around the posts up to the
normal grade.
After the installation of
the posts the sill can be laid
across them. This is usually
a two by ten member and has
a two by two ledger-strip
spiked to the bottom inside
face. The two by eight joistS
which support the floor are
then laid on top of the ledg-
er-strip and spiked through
the sill.
Such an assembly makes a
sound and proper foundation
for any light structure, and
has been in general use for
farm buildings for many
years.
To avoid the necessity of
cutting the posts over again
to make the tops level, the
holes can be dug deep or
shallow as required or the
concrete can be increased or
decreased accordingly.

polled - East Germany, Po-
land, Hungary, Bulgaria and
Romania - strongly opposed
to the Soviets.
Hatred Of the Russians is
strongest in East Germany and
Hungary, not surprisingly. The
poll in East Germany showed
that country, as confirmed by
the refugee outpouring, to be
near the exploding point
Hungary was substantially
less explosive, many Of those
polled complaining bitterly
that they were "let down" by
the West in 1856.
Aside from East Germany
the polls revealed no intense
interest among the satellite
populations in the fate Of West
Berlin as such. Everywhere,
Berlin is being watched in
terms of an East-West conflict.
Not Unduly Impressed
Surprisingly, too, the Satel-
lite populations appear not to

Wet space achievements. The
majority Of polleSS viewed
these achievements - merely
strengthening Soviet domina-
ton Of the satellites.
Despite Western inaction in
East Germany in 1858 and in
Hungary in 1856, the majority
of the persons polled believe q
Showdown" between East and
West is inevitable, and that
such q showdown will bring
them liberation.
They have no clear idea,
however, what form such q
Showdown" would take or
when it would occur, for the
overwhelming majority do not
believe Russia wants war over
Berlin.
Secretary Of Defense Robert
S. McNamara declared recent
ay he believed Nikita Khru-
shcheV has grave doubts
about whether the East Ger
mans would fight for him in
event Of . conflict over Berlin.
Mr.. McNamara said "overesti-

Polls Show Hostility
In Soviet Satellites

BERLIN, Aug. % (NANA)
Soviet Russia would have to
contend with open hostility
from Russia's satellite popula-
tions in event Of q conflict over
Berlin.
ClandeStine public opinion
polls show that the satellite
populations are overwhelming
ly hostile to the Russians and
only awaiting the time when
Russian attention is engaged
elsewhere to mount open resist
ance.
The polls, conducted by
Western intelligence agencies,
indicate that resistance to Rus
Sia is apparently the strongest
since the East Germany upris-
ing Of 1853 and the Hungarian
revolt Of 1856.
However, the vast majority
(S2 per cent? Of polleeS said it
was useless" to mount open
resistance to the Russians as
in East Germany and Hungary
unless we can be certain in
advance Of Western support"
A full 85 per cent Of those
polled said they would partici-
pate in underground resistance
to the SovietS in event of O.
Berlin conflict, and 81 per cent
pledged themselves to join
guerrilla warfare against So
Wet troops.
Poll Experts Used
The polls were conducted by
trained public opinion sam
pling experts, in each case ma
tionals Of the country where
they conducted the polls. The
polling project was undertaken
by Western intelligence agen-
cieS to gain . basis for calcu-
lating Soviet intentions in
Berlin.

Scouting Is a
 Lifetime Challenge
By . Norne citizen

Having lived with Scouting from Bobcat Cub through Silver Palm Eagle, feel justified in recommending this way Of life for the boys of today. A great many of the current problems can be traced back 10 the inability of the average man to stand on his own two feet and take care of himself and self development, has enabled those to it's earnest ap- peal, to become better equipped to master life's complex problems.
 The most important job a par- ent has in today's atmosphere of conflicting interests, is to create an ideal of self assurance and in- dependence in their children. The better equipped a child Is to fend for himself, the better he will be to face the many problems presented to young people and adults today.
 Tying square knot or apply ing speedy tournequet may not be ever required in the atomic and automatic age, but the char acter these techniques produce and the thorough applications of sound principles that must be mastered can't help but turn out a better boy, happy in the know ledge he can take care of himself, and others in need. Good citizen ship can only come from chil- dren grounded in the ideals of fair play, honesty, and respect for the rights of others. The laws and rules binding Cubs and Scouts together can help your boy to be a better man. Give your dollars and your boy to the Scouts. It will be double barreled invest ment.

HAVANA, Mar. 2 (AP).-
Fidel Castro repeatedly was
sounding out Venezuela today
TO- help solve Cuban-United
States differences as a fifth ma
ton in the Americas severed
relations with his revolutionary
government.
The Venezuelan foreign min
istry said In Caracas yesterday
it had received a note from
Havana asking for efforts
toward a solution. Sources said
the note amounted to a Cuban
request for consiliation-but
outside the Organization of
American States.
AT the same time El Saliva
dor broke off relations with
Cuba in protest against a Wig
orpus campaign in Havana
against the junta that rules
the little Central American
country.
e Ambassador Recalled
The Salvadorean Ambassador
to Cuba was recalled in mid
January and never returned
here. The Cuban Ambassador
to El Salvador has now been
asked to leave there as soon as
hecan.
The United States, Guate-
mala, Peru and the Dominican
Republic previously cut official
relations with Cuba. -Four
other nations - Haiti. Mica
ragua, Paraguay and Colombia
have pulled their Ambassa-
dnrs out of Cuba.
After FL Salvador announced
the break. the Cuban Foreign
Ministry released a statement
assailing FL Salvador's govern
ment as a "pro-imperialist mil
itary junta" that Cuba never
recognized anyway.
IN seeking Venezuela as q
conciliator for its rift with the
United States, Cuba chose q
nation that believes in working
with OAS-not outside the or
ganization.

BY the Associated Press

Assistant Secretary of State
G. Mennen Williams has asked
for more than IS million to es-
tablish IA new embassies in
Africa and strengthen his Afri-
can bureau here.
The former Governor Of
Michigan appeared before the
House Appropriations Commit
tee before he left on his cur
rent tour Of Africa. The testi-
mony was released today.
Mr.. Williams requested S.
283, 900 to build up the African
bureau at the State Depart
ment and establish IA new en-
bassieS and three consulates In
Africa.
He said the rapid emergence
Of new nations in Africa had
left the bureau breathless."
Mr.. Williams said the addi-
tional diplomats were required
to help these people in the art
Of running a government"
Mr.. Williams included the
nations being created in for
mer British possessions in
Africa among those needing
American leadership and edu-
cation in self-government.
Representative Bow, Repub-
lican Of Ohio, asked, "have not
the British been doing this over
the years? Have they not done
about the best job of anyone?"
Mr.. Williams said each new
embassy in Africa would have
two senior diplomats, the am
bassador and a deputy mission
chief.
Each Of these would have an
American secretary. There
would also be an administrative
officer. an American fiscal Of
ficer to help him with money
and housekeeping matters and
a native accountant to keep
the books.
A junior officer and a COM
munications and records clerk
also would be American. The
rest Of the staff, said Mr.. Will

So far Mr.. Williams has con-
ferred with President Joseph
Kasavubu and members Of his
government and with U. N. of :
ficials headed by Rajeshwar
Dayal, the Indian head of the
U. N. Congo operation.
He said he had heard a num-
ber of complaints about the
U. N. operation here, but he
insisted these complaints do not
affect the basic purpose of the
world body.
Il am confident the United
States will remain seized of the
idea that the U. N. is the best
hope-if any corrections have
to be made they will be made, "
he said. But this does not
change the underlying philoso-
phy."
After meeting the press, Mr..
Williams and his party went off
in a motorcade to visit an

125 miles from Leopoldville.
Loaded in the trunks of the
cars were a dozen cases of soft
drinks.
