Fire Bugs Spree
Ends With Arrest
In Buckingham

BUCKINGHAM. Nov, IS -
Luther Overton Mowyer, %, of
Nelson county. has admitted set
ting six Buckingham county
fires, the largest resulting in
about $1,000 damage to two load
ed pulpWood trucks Wednesday
night near Buckingham C. H.,
Sheriff Herbert B. Adams re-
ported today.
Following his arrest about one
am. Thursday, MoWyer led the
sheriff and his deputies to To-
cation of four field fires, which
had been extinguished earlier.
Another fire damaged a Viz
ginia Division of Forestry road
grader spotted in the county for
fire fighting uses.
The burning logging trucks,
one Of them new and both load
ed with oak pulpwood, were dis
covered by William and Davis
Whorley who live in the area
where the trucks burned. That
was on Route 649. just off
Route Sc five miles west of
Buckingham.
The trucks were owned by
Howard S nley, of DillWyn.
They were to be driven to the
pulpwood yard Thursday morn
ing. The Worley boys had also
discovered the field fires and
assisted in extinguishing them.
With leads furnished by Buck
ingLam residents, Sheriff Adams
and deputies started their hunt
for the fire bug. They arrested
Mower at Wingina in Nelson
county early Thursday. He said
he set the truck fires by break
ing gas lines and using old
tires.
Mowyer, who had been sent to
Lynchburg Training School
about IL years ago for fire bug
activity, said he could give po-
lice no explanation OF why he
set the fires. IAN hell broke
loose in me-" was his only
comment.

Town Passes Curfew Law;
New Fire Truck On The Way
Lights For
Christmas In
Downtown Area

The Farmville town council
approved a curfew ordinance at
its regular meeting Tuesday
night, that will be identical to
the one passed by the Prince
Edward board of supervisors
Nov. s. Both laws will be effec-
tive Nov. 20.
The curfew ordinance regu-
lates the presence of minors,
under Is years of age, upon the
public streets between the hours
OF midnight and 5 am. While
the law will require those under
IS to be out of public places by
midnight. it does allow excep-
tons for scheduled sports
events, adult superized recrea-
ton. or when the youths are &C
companied by parents or guard
ians, etc.
Fire Truck Coming
The unci l authorized the
purchase of 1900 feet of 2"
fire hose and 600 feet Of 1"
hose for the new town fire
truck at a cost Of about So, 700.
The new fire truck was sched-
uled to be delivered in Farm
vile about the end of Deem
Der. but town manager T. w.
Bloomfield announced the good
news that the truck would prob
ably arrive Monday or Tuesday
OF next week, more than 80
days ahead Of schedule.
The new town fire truck is
similar to the new truck of the
county. It will have a pumping
capacity of 1000 gallons per
minute, which is twice the ca
pacity of the old truck it will be
replacing. This new town fire
truck, together with the new
county truck, will bring the fire
lighting potential to a new high
for Farmville.
Christmas Lights
The Retail Trade Committee
was granted permission to put
up Christmas lights and deco
rate the downtown area for the
Christmas season.
Council again authorized the
issuance of free parking passes
for tobacco growers who sell on
the Farmville markets. These
free parking passes are good on
the day of the sale in any auth
orized parking space. The pass
es will be issued bv the ware
housemen as they have been iu
the past.
Subdivision
The ordinance committee, to-
gether with the town attorney.
William P. Hay, were instructed
to prepare changes to the town

streets to have stone base, in

Give Rep orts
Bank Balan
Optimism
Remains High
BY GERALD DUNCAN

The Farmville Memorial Rec
reation Association met for its
annual meeting Wednesday
night with the various commit
tees reporting on activities for
the year.
Although each of the commit
tees reported small bank bal
ances. this was due. they said,
to the fact that improvements
were made to each of the rec
reational sites. rather than a
lack of support by the COM
munity.
Boyd Balm. reporting for the
swimming pool committee, said
that this was the worst summer
for swimmers since the opening
OF the pool. due to the relatively
cool weather. AS a whole, tenn
peratureS averaged well below
normal and several nights when
the pool remained open, there
were only four or five people at
the pool.
In spite of the bad weather,
we just about broke even for
the year. We are not at all dis
appointed because of this and
we feel that if we have a nice
summer next year. we can show
substantial monetary gains"
Balm said.
He praised the work of Ray
mond Ransom, who managed the
pool this year, and expressed
wi h e to obtain his services
next year. Forty-five students
were enrolled in the life saving
courses.
Boys Baseball
In Little Boys League base
ball, Bob McGahey reported an
other fine year Of operation. The
league was increased from four
to six major league teams this
year. with four minor league
teams. The farm clubs were
eliminated.
McGahey said that approx
mately $50 boys took part in the
Little Boys League program, 60
in the Pony League and 60 in
girls softball.
Capital improvements on ia
cilities this year included the ad-
dition of 20 1900 watt lights on the
Little Boys League field. bring
ing the total number of lights
to go. the required number for
this field. Twenty lights were
added to the combination base
ball-football field, bringing the
total to 100, 40 less than the re-
CURED number. 1T is our hope
that in the next few years, funds
will be available to add the adj
ditional lights to the big field"
McGahey said.
This work was done at a cost
OF approximately 5000. Money
for this was raised primarily
from the resale of the signs on
the Little Boys League fence at
the rate Of $50 for another
three-year period. In addition to
this, ten new signs were sold to
complete a second tier on the
outfield fence. McGahey said
that all signs were refinished
and repainted.' and that all of the
80 first-year advertisers renew
ed their ads this year.
Other capital improvements
included new concrete work in
front of the press box and con-
cession stand. repainting tn e
