Safe, Sane Halloween

EARMNILLE passed safe and sane
Halloween. Many ghosts and COLLINS
visited the homes and found treats al
most everywhere One householder was
unable to be home so box on the
front porch filled with goodies car
ried a sign, WELCOME Ny Young
Friends, Help YOURSELF, and they did.
At our house, one group sang a song
for our entertainment. We were de-
lighted to have them and to give the
treat = no tricks.
What was once dreaded night for
property owners has become a pleasure.
Police Chief Otto Overton expressed
his appreciation for the orderly way
Halloween was celebrated Tuesday
night.
Farmville police are commended for
efficiency in handling special events.
Circus at Longwood and Homecoming

into Farmville. Traffic was kept moving
and no untoward incidents happened

Check For Fire

WITH cold weather approaching, it is
well to remind readers that fires -
destroying homes and property = will
soon be occurring much more frequent
ly than during the summer months.
The loss of life and property from
fires in the United States is still
staggering one, and the average reader
would be surprised to know how many
people who suffer disaster from fire
do not have insurance to protect them
from loss
Speaking of rural citizens, it is often
difficult to get adequate insurance of
the farm home at reasonable rates and,
therefore, many rural homes are not in
sured adequately against fire. And if
a fire starts and gets out of hand, the
home is completely destroyed, as there
is usually not sufficient time to bring
in needed firefighting equipment
Many fires are started by cigarettes.
If you are a smoker. keep this in mind
in the coming months. Another major
cause of fires consists of faulty Chin
neys, flues and stoves. Faulty electrical
wiring is also the cause Of many fires.
The main thing to remember, in seek
ing to avoid costly fire, is that one
should be careful with electricity,
matches, stoves and so on. A fire ex-
tinguisher in every home ready for use
may save serious losses. A few thoughts
about this matter in the next few months
might prevent domestic tragedy.
And, turning our attention to the

We are setting on top Of I'M

not a care in the WORLD. Even
the Republicans are not criticiz-
ing these days. They realize that
they couldn't have handled it no
way.
Old soldiers 60 back in train

Khrushchev can answer all
questions as to why he acts like

twas thought at one time. We

brings him to one of his major
goals as Chief of Naval Opera
tons: To see that new weapons
move into the hands of the fleet
as soon as possible - whether
they be aircraft. Warships, mis-
Siles, submarines or other.
Paralleling that as a major
goal is his determination ito see
that everything we have, works.
And that includes personnel as
well as materiel. The new and
highly sophisticated" weapons
of the moment demand more
highly trained personnel, and
| therein lies one of Admiral And
erson'S concerns.
But when he looks at his con-
Germs, he takes some comfort in
the fact that Khrushchev likewise
has concerns-of different sort
over American naval might.
The greatest of these, it might
be assumed from Admiral And
erson'S remarks, is the threat
posed by the Polaris submarines
which are on station throughout
the world.
II don't believe he has an an
sWer to the Polaris,' Anderson
says.
1 Nevertheless, Admiral Ander-
son confirms the existence of
Russian submarines with mis-
slle-launching capabilities. He
likewise acknowledges the likeli-
hood that Russian subs could
launch m siles against the
United States, although no such
subs have been reported in the
offshore waters of this country.
The Russians do not have sub
marines capable of launching
missiles while submerged, he
says. And that fact itself makes
them vulnerable to our antisub-
marine defenses by forcing them
to surface and remain exposed
during the time required to pre-
pare for and launch missiles.
That is the situation as he sees
it now, but the Russians are
making progress in the field Of
submarine warfare as well as in
others. Admiral Anderson wants
to stay SO far out in front that
they can never catch up.

W. D. Workman
Navy Vital Weapon Of War

WASHINGTON - If you think
the Navy doesn't fit into the Ber-
lin crisis, then you haven't been
listening to Admiral George W.
Anderson, Jr., the new Chief of
Naval Operations.
The strapping big naval avi-
ator readily admits that the spot
light of national attention is
turned on the Army and Air
Force build-up in Europe. But
he is quick to add that the Navy
has a dual mission of extreme
importance growing out of the
German inducements.
In the first place, he says
feelingly, the Navy must protect
1.-THE logistical tall of any mill
tary operations on the continent.
Secondly, the Navy must play
the role of guardian of the
TANKS if anything erupts.
That last item has particular
interest for him, since he has
just come to Washington from
command of the Sixth Fleet, the
potent naval task force which
patrols the Mediterranean-and
the Southern flank of United
States forces in Europe. When
he talks of the capabilities of
that fleet, and of its allied units
from other NATO nations, he
radiates- a personal enthusiasm
based upon two years expert
ence as its commander.
But the same confidence car
ries over into his discussions Of
the Navy in general. AS BELTS
an aviator, he champions the
aircraft carrier as a weapons
system which has as great a flu
ture as it has a past.
1--WE would like to see a new
carrier every year" he says,
although he seems somewhat
doubtful that such a schedule is
in the cards at the moment. He
points out that the aircraft car
rier is not competitive with any
other weapons system, that it is
versatile and flexible, with capa-
bilities of participating in both
limited and general wars.
And when challenged on the
grounds Of the carriers vulnera-
bility, he argues: These are
tough ships, they will take a lot
of punishment.
But they also will take some
replacement to make them capa-
Bile of handling the hot" air
craft which now are designed for
carrier operations. And that

Letters To Editor
Lost 4 Pond

Dear Editor,
Have you ever heard of any
body losing a pond? Well, we
have, but let me explain further
so you won't think I'm some kind
of quack or something like that.
We recently bought portion
of a farm in PoWhatan county
There are Tor Were) two ponds
stocked with fish, and my hus-
band and children have been
fishing out of them. One pond
close to our house is still there,
but when my children went down
to the other one to fish, they
came back and said excitedly
that the pond was gone.
! went to investigate and found
that what once was a pretty. pla-
cid. fish-filled pond is now an
empty muddy hole. What hap
pened is this-the recent rain
storms had filled the pond to the
brink, and the weight Of the
water broke the dam holding it.
and the water and fish washed
away.
1t was quite a shock of course.

ers, as local news. l never had
heard Of such a thing happening
before myself. l don't have pic

take a picture of what's left to
show to people who knew and

ton, l am

if they know what the people want they
will get it.
Organize anti-communist educa tional

We must alert our young people to the
challenges they will face and thus de-
Innate the nature of the enemy. In the

What is being done in Charleston, S.

World War H., and first citizen, edu-

out this nation, provided those capable
of organizing and executing such pro-
grams would find the time and the de-
sire to do it. We believe the civic clubs,
the patriotic societies. the American

could institute similar program with
outstanding speakers for an Opera

CITIZENS in the neighborhood of
- Charleston. S. c. probably know
more about the Communist enemy than
those Of any other American community.
We believe General Mark Clark, presi-
dent of the Citadel, South Cardinals
great military institute, to be the guild
ing spirit to inform the people of the
character and dangers of the Com
munist enemy. South Carolina is fortu-
nate in having a man Of General Clark's
stature and experience in Charleston,
who will devote his energies to civic pro-
gress and patriotic service. We have
never met General Clark, but admire
him greatly
Suffice it to say, that Charleston is
alert. Last Spring a group Of patriotic
citizens, lawyers, educators, politicians,
etc, formed speakers bureau, which
has carried the true facts Of Commu-
nism to the people. One day was de-
signated as Operation Alert" on

He said also that if we are to defend
against communism effectively there must
be a return to God.
Americans are running after false gods.
All of our increase in crime and other faults
of society is due largely to lack of belief
in one true God.
What the General was saying is
this: In order to be leader among
nations the United States must wake
up to the creeping dangers of intrigue
liars, and unprincipled acts of bully
dictators. The people and the statemer
must act with courage, reverse our
materialistic ways and reassert the
principles upon which this government
