Cedar Greek Parking And
Access Area. The Delaware
Game and Fish Commission has
approved the purchase of ten
acres bordering Cedar Greek
for a parking lot and free public
access to the Delaware Bay for
small boat fishermen. The site
is located about quarter of a
mile from Mispillion Light in a
protected area along Cedar
Greek where salt water fisher
men will be able to launch their
boats at any time regardless of
tide.
When this site goes into oper-
alton for the 1864 season a first
class dual launching ramp with
parking room adjacent to 1t for
800 boats and trailers is ex-
pected to be popular with not
only the local fishermen of the
Milford, Slaughrers Beach and
Milton area but many out-of-

Philbrick Stirred
Wrong Emotions

Editor, The Farmville Herald:
1 agree with Mr.. Gresham
that emotion is e sential to
patriotism: l might even argue
that patriotism is emotion.
Where he and l evidently disa-
gree is on the extent to which
emotions should be aroused and
the kind that should be aroused.
Arguing in general terms over
the first of these questions is
futile. but the second might be
made to yield some light.
Patriotism is affirmative and
lives on affirmative emotions
confidence, respect. Joy, cour-
age. love. These move men to
embrace life: to celebrate life
by creating new life - gardens,
cities. constitutions. nations;
and having created these things,

Communists and Communist

Double Check

As the long week end ended
and the solonS trickled back into
what was a quiet Capitol OF Viz
GINA, the Bills began to get in
to the hopper that will some day
grind into law. There is a sorter
selfish air around the Blue Sum-
day Law. It can be noted in the.
sponsor and the pose Of the note
known as amendment. it ap-
rearing that we have a sort of
Advisory Legislative Council to
screen the mammoth load of
stuff being written and put into
the hopper.
H. B. Is sets up and sponsored
by four to study all laws set
out to restrict business in Vir-
ginia.
H.B.18 sets out to require each
merchant to post a cash bond of
ten thousand dollars before re-
ceiving a license to sell at retail.
Any one that can raise ten thou
sand dollars is a fool to run a
retail store anyway. This bill if
passed should make it a very
profitable adventure if'n the Gus
toners could afford to drive to
the nearest store to trade. They
would sure be some distance
apart.

and Senate are trying to give it
all away, and the State Legisla-
ture is trying to fix it so you

CHARLESTON. s. c. A
British submarine well-trav-

may come to final rest On the
campus Of an American college
as Z lasting symbol Of British
French-American friendship.
That is the hope Of Gen. Mark
w. Clark, now president Of The
Citadel. South Cardinals mill
tary college - q hope In which
he is joined by World War II
colleagues who shared his adj
venture with H. M. S. Seraph.
It was the Seraph which car
ried a five-manS delegation Of
top-ranking American officers
to q secret rendezvous with
Free French leaders on the
North African coast. in the
critical days of 1912.
Gen. Clark later was to COM
mand the Fifth Army in Italy

before retirement. Along with
him were then = Brig. Genl.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of

was to achieve Free French CO.

lied invasion Of North Africa.
They were met at a lonely
farmhouse about 60 miles west
of Algiers by Robert Murphy.
the State Departments comse-
lor in Algiers, and several key
military leaders Of the French
forces in North Africa.
That expedition. which was
almost discovered by local po-
lice, turned out to be one of the
really exciting and significant
intrigues Of World War II. It's
success was confirmed in the
successful and low-loss landings
of Allied forces on the shores
of North Africa.
But today our concern is with
the Seraph. the British subma-
rine which played such a vital
role in the proceedings.
This historic warship is des-
tined for retirement later this
year, and a determined effort
is being made to have it mount
ed as a national = indeed an
international war memorial
on the campus of The Citadel.
Many prominent personages-
such as Lord Louis Mountbat-

served in Italy: Admiral Sir
Caspar John, First Sea Lord of
the British Admiralty: Admiral
Arleigh Burke. former Chief OF
Naval Operations - all have
responded favorably to the idea,
Also. members of South Caro-

are working on legislation to
permit the sub to be accepted

Many details have yet to be

Solemn Warning

Mr. Hoover closed his remarks with
a warning on communism. He felt that
it was time that every red blooded
American realize that VIC in the United
States are at war with the communists.
He stated that it was up to each Amer
lean to accept the responsibilities of
freedom and liberty and to live by those
principles, and make the necessary
sacrifices to insure them.
In closing, Mr.. Hoover stated that
the American people were in long
struggle against communism and that
there are no short roads to victory and
that we must prepare ourselves for a
long, hard struggle against very de-
Dictated enemy. This is not the time in
America for alarmists or undue ex-
element, but for dedicated men and
women who can devote themselves to
the long struggle ahead. v

Best Kept Secret

Evidently, Virginia's sovereignty was
not discussed as it was not mentioned
in this belated report.
Mr. Almond did not yield immedi-
ately to the purported concern" of the
attendants of this meeting, as he reveal
ed his staunch support of Virginia's
sovereignty in rousing speech on
January 20, which he now says he re-
grets.
Evidently this was not the high
level' meeting which Mr.. Almond re-
ferred to in his TV broadcast, to which
newsmen presumed that Senator Harry
F. Byrd, Congressman Abbitt, Smith
and Tuck, and Lieutenant Governor
Stephens attended. Each of these men
has disavowed any meeting with the
Governor during this time.
Possibly, history will record the
events leading to Virginia's surrender,
and until then the best kept secret will
be locked in the Rotunda Club.

The convention called upon the
President of the United States ito
give bold and diligent leadership
by sending strong civil rights pro-
grams to Congress and rallying
the country to help fight for their
passage"
The Democratic party was re-
minded of its failure to live up
to election campaign promises.
Moreover, a resolution pointed
out, under Democratic party con-
troll, the reins Of power In the
S7th Congress remain in the hands
Of foes of civil rights. OF the 10
standing committees in the Sem
ate, nine have chairmen who op-
pose civil rights. OF the 20 stand
ing committees In the House, nine
are directed by chairmen who sup
port racial segregation"
The resolution went on to warn
"the leaders Of the Democratic
party that we expect the same
Hgor in pressing for passage of
civil rights legislation that we
saw in the fall of 1860 when they
were pressing for votes of colored
residents in the major urban areas
Of our nation"
Republicans Warned
Similarly, the Republicans were
warned that the colored voters
Of the United States are disgusted
with the hypocritical profession of
love for civil rights on Lincoln's
birthday and the betrayal Of civil
rights in collaboration with OBJ
structonists on all other days
when this type Of legislation is
before committees or on the floor
of Congress. We appreciate the
men and women of vision repre-
senting the Republican party in
the House and Senate. Their re-
cords are 100 per cent for civil
rights and they are fighting
against desperate odds to bring
their party back to its traditional
position of opposition to racial dis
crimination and segregation"
