SUMMARY

= BLOCKADE ORDERED
: SEA BATTLE LOOMS
: MILITARY BUILD-UP

THE U. S. BLOCKADE Of
Cuba officially went into effect
at 9 am. EST Wednesday.
American ships ring the Carlb-
bean island under orders to halt
all incoming ships, search them
turn back any carrying missiles
or other offensive weapons, and
sink them if they refuse to obey
orders. twenty-five Soviet YES
sells, some believed to be carry
ing missiles and jet bomoers,
were reported heading toward
Cuba and a showdown appeared
likely late Wednesday or on
Thur day. Soviet Premier
Khrushchev telegraphed British
philosopher Berrtam Russell
that Russia would take no reck-
less action and suggested a sum-
init meeting on Cuba.
PRESIDENT KENNEDY an
n0unced the blockade in a
speech to the nation and world.
He said the action was made
necessary by the Soviet build-up
in Cuba, and particularly by the
construction of intermediate and
long-range missile bases there
from which an attack could be
launched against major cities in
the Western Hemisphere. He
placed the blame for the danger
GUS situation squarely on tn e
Soviet Union and warned that
a missile launched from Cuba
against any target in this hemi-
sphere would bring a U. S. at
tack on Russia.
THE UN SECURITY COUN-
Gil is meeting to consider a
U. S. resolution to send UN OBJ
servers to Cuba to supervise the
dismantling of the missile bases.
This plan has almost no chance
Of adoption because of Soviet
veto power. Russia and Cuba
have proposed that the block
ade be lifted Immediately Some
observers noted that the Russian
delegate was less vituperative
than he might have been. On
Wednesday As neutral nations
represented by Ghana, the
United Arab Republic Egypt
ard Cyprus called on Acting
Secretary General U. Thant to
persuade all concerned not to
take any provocative actions.
INTERNATIONAL reaction to
the Cuban crisis followed tn e
expected pattern. The Organiza-
ton of American States endors-
the U. 8. action, and the Presi-
dent waited for this approval be-
fore signing the proclamation
initiating the blockade. Britain,
France. and most of our NATO
allies support us. Cuba and Rus
STA took immediate action to in
crease their military prepared
ness. On Wednesday. the Soviet
Union rejected U. S. note ex-
planning the blockade and Of
ficially warned that it might
lead to a thermonuclear war

Farmville District Is First
Over The Top In Fund Drive
Only $4,000 Is
Reported Toward
$21,691 Goal

Farmville district is the first
of the six magisterial districts
In Prince Edward county to
reach its quota for the 1862 Com
munity Chest campaign, reports
Mrs. B. S. Hamersly. campaign
secretary. She has ceived
SALTS against a quota Of $316.25.
This, along with other dona-
tons, raised the total collections
for this years Chest drive to
over $4,000. Mrs. Hamersly said
that this total is far behind the
sum of $4,000 received on the
same date last year. This years
total is lower, in part, because
of the late start by the Chest,
however
Mrs. Hamersly reminded So
licitors for the other magisterial
districts that she had received
little or no money from them.
Size urged district drive leaders
to bring this money in as soon
as possible to the Community
Chest office, located in the town
council chamber of the Munich
pal Building, and open daily
from 9 am, to pm.
100 Per Centers
The campaign-leading Jaycees
are just beginning to contact
employees, and they request that
employees start planning their
d natio n so the Chest can
have them by the end of the
month. Mrs. Hamersly reported
Wednesday that the employees
Of Gordon's Transfer had donat-
ed 100 per cent to the Chest
drive and that the company had
matched the employees dona-
ton. SafeWay Stores was the
first 100 per cent firm to report.
The Jaycees also stressed to
citizens the new blood bank pro-
gram this year. They urged citi-
zens to be aware of the request
ed Is per cent increase over last
year, which will make the new
blood bank program possible.
Unless we cen get the Is per
cent increase in donations, this
fine program is going to fall by
the Wayside,' said Mike Lafoon,
president of the Jaycees.
when making your donations,
remember that you are giving to
y very worthy agencies, and
without the Community Chest
Campaign, you would be re-
quested to donate to each of
these agencies individually"
says John E. Allen, drive leader.
Leaders Appeal
Allen also reminded citizens
who may feel apathetic toward
the Chest that this is entirely a
community and county project.
Each persons help is necessary
to make the drive a success.
"Such agencies as Southside
Community Hospital, the Ameri-
can Red Cross, Piedmont Coun-
Gil Boy Scouts of merica,
Farmville Public Library AS
ISOLATION, Girl Scouts of Ameri-
ca, to list a few, receive money
to operate from the Community
Chest. These are the organiza-
tons that make town success
full and enjoyable to live in. If
we let down our Community
Chest, we are letting down the
town in which we live. You and
your families profit from these
agencies. and it is up to each of
us whether they continue to do
the fine Jobs they have done
over the past years." Allen de-
clared.
