: Double Talking Nehru

DRIME Minister Nehru, of India, who
claims to be neutralist, pacifist,
and leader of the African-Asian bloc
of neutralist nations is also a double
talker.
We have felt bit concerned for India
and Mr.. Nehru because Of the Red
Chinese invasion of his northwest ter
ritory. In discussing these pressures he
declared: my whole soul reacts against
the idea of war anywhere. That is the
training have received throughout my
life and ! cannot easily get rid of it at
the age of To-
Just how Mr.. Nehru squares this
statement with invasion this week by
Indian troops of Goa, a territory owned
by the Portuguese in east India for
four and half centuries. So far as we
are informed Mr.. Nehru ordered the
Goa invasion without prior negotiations
with Portugal. If any negotiations
were made through the United Nations,
they were of such small consequence
that our news services overlooked them.

Dean of Main Street

OUR news department beat us to the
punch in tribute to the Dean of Main
Street, Frank L. Verser, who will retire
on January /, after SO years in the
merchantile business on Main Street in
Farmville. At the early age Tin those
days. of Is, he join his father in bust
ness, and at his death in 1909 continued
to manage the L. j. Verser & Son cloth
ing and dry-good store. Frank holds
the record in Farmville for the longest
continuous service in history of the
town.
Our first recollections of him were
about 1908, when as lad of nine our
part-time employment with Fleming &
Clark required early rising to get to the
store by $50 am, dust down the show
cases, remove the covers from coun-
tiers of clothing, and sweep out the store.
All trash and dust was swept to the
front, and taken up in a light goods
box" which was left on the edge of the
brick sidewalk for the trash collector
But that did not end the chores. The
sidewalk was swept clean, and each
merchant swept the cobblestoned street
in front of his store to the middle Of the
street. Generally the merchants met in
the middle of the street and brushed

BY JOSEPHINE LOWMAN


Today I want to give you
two more of my combination
exercises. Each one is espe-
cially corrective to more than
one figure defect.
Stand tall, with your toes
pointing forward and your
hands on your hips. Bend
your left knee up in front of
you. toe pointing toward the
floor. Now straighten the left
leg and extend it backward
as far as comfortable. Do not
let the left foot touch the
floor. Again bend the knee up
in front of you and continue.
After a while do the same
thing with your right leg. Do
this in a good rhythmic
swing.
If you cannot keep your
balance, turn your left side
to the wall and place your
left hand on the wall. This
exercise is corrective to both
the abdomen and the hips.
Another: Lie on the floor
on your abdomen, with your
arms resting on the floor in
front of you and your legs
straight. Lift your head, arms.
and legs as far off the floor
as you can. Hold for a few
moments. Slowly return head,
arms and legs to the floor.
Continue.
Rest for a few minutes in
this same position. Now bend
both elbows and place your
hands on the floor, one hand
on each side of your chest.
Straighten your elbows as
you arch your back and tilt
your head backward slightly.
Keep the back arched as you
lift your hands from the floor,
thus rocking forward. Again
place your hands on the floor,
push up, and continue rock
ing back and forth. This is
not a difficult exercise. 1t
just takes a little knack and
timing, and practice will give
them to you.
