RESPONSIBLE For Broken Windows

The touchy question who
owns the air?" was put in
sharp focus on March 5 by two
events which, by sheer coincl-
dence, occurred on that same
day.
One was a decision by the
United States Supreme Court
that a property owner is en-
titled to recover damages from
low-flying aircraft which render
his property untenable.
The other was the record
breaking flight of an Air Force
bomber which sped across the
continent and back leaving a
trail of broken windows and
"shook" citizens who had been
exposed to the bomber's sonic
boom.
Although the court decision
related only to a single piece Of
property near the Greater Pitts
burgh Airport some of the legal
principles laid down in that case
may apply to the transcontinen-
tai problem posed by the Air
Force flight.
Congress long ago declared
lin 1881 that the national gov

The. death of Miss Mamie Rice

under seven years old, and an
ailing husband whose health re-

My young son underwent a ton
slllectomy at DR.. Hardy's of
flee, there were no hospitals here
then, and he recommended a
trained nurse for overnight.
Miss Rice, in the county on va
cation, came to my home. All
went well.
Sitting on the porch at Edge
wood" that spring night, watch
ing the moon rise across the "a
| vine, Miss Rice unfolded her
dream Of establishing public
health work in Prince Edward
County. Our friendship began
that night. A few years passed
and / saw the Prince Edward
Health Association born in ar
upper room on Third street
where interested civic leaders
and physicians gathered. Dr.. j
l.. Jarman presided and Mis-.
Rice outlined her ideas, hel

But the matter Of sovereignty
is not so much at issue as are

If so, who is to provide the Just

In the Pittsburgh case, the
Supreme Court held that the air

land approaches are to bridges
and that the appropriate agency
must acquire such approaches.

no one has contributed more to the
progress of this county or this area
than Miss Mamie Rice She had dream

her community and her people and she

Due to Miss Rice's vision Prince Ed

She became the first health nurse. Her
devoted service quickly demonstrated

Another factor is of interest, Japan
buys more American cotton than any
other country. In 1860 she bought L.
$4,000 bales! She exported back to us,
in goods, the equivalent of 10000 bales
The japanese say that the trouble with
our industry is that the U. S. Govern
ment forces up the prices of cotton,
forcing the mill owner to pay an arti-
ficially high price, whereas the Jap
anese are buying it cheaper. at. the
world price. They say this, more than
labor differences, enable them to sell
textiles in the United States.
If L. S. mill owners could buy cotton
at world levels, this would be big aid
in the competitive situation they face.
