Welcome College Students

There were some moist eyes as local
students left for the Colleges in Vir-
ginia and other states this week. MANY
sad good-byes were said by those leav-
ing for the first time.
Arriving in our community are about
1900 students from other communities.
Many Of them left their homes with
some pangs of sadness, too.
We can remember this when we meet
these students on the streets, at the
churches, and in other social contracts.
Give them warm welcome, just as you
will want others to give your youngster
who is away at College.
Farmville begins its social and bust
ness revival with the opening Of the
colleges here. The residence Of these
young people and the faculty members
contribute greatly to the life of this
community.
Let's give them all warm welcome!

Mr. Shuman's remarks are sad COM
mentary on how government works, and
and how free-spending Uncle Sans an
nual budget deficits get larger and larg-
full
AS this newspaper has pointed out
many times, the Federal Government
has no money of its own to dispense to
the people. Any benefits" the people
may receive are simply case of the
Government returning to the people
what has been taken from them in tax
eS.
If the much discussed tax cut is to
become reality, the only way it can
be done without increasing the Federal
deficit is to cut Federal spending in a
corresponding amount.
Mr.. Shuman's speech simply points
up again what conservatives have been
saying for years; it is time this nation
starts sending to Congress people with
more regard for fiscal integrity than
for political expediency.
Perhaps this will be the year the re-
formation will begin.

Reformation Overdue

Centator Harry Byrd was such good
- copy at his recent annual picnic that
the principal speakers address was
generally overlooked by much of the
press.
Delivered by Charles B. Shuman,
President of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation, the speech said things
which the American people should
ponder. His thesis was that represent
alive government in the United States
is in danger of being supplanted by the
dictatorship Of too many Federal dol
lars. This theme is not new, but because
of its importance to the future of our
nation, it cannot be repeated too often.
Here are some hard-hitting excerpts
from Mr.. Shuman's talk:
Money talks and to some people
money speaks with a very loud and per-
suasive voice when 1913 billion Federal
budget is involved. Perhaps the greatest
danger of the 500 billion budget is in
the tremendous political power that
can be, and is, exercised by the Presi-
dent and the Executive Branch of the
Government as they grant or withhold
huge sums for the purchase Of goods
and services in the various states and
Congressional districts.
Outright bribery is rarity in gov
eminent. But, on the other hand, the
promise of a multi-million dollar dam,
the continuation of a sizeable military
base, the award of huge defense con-
tract, or the appointment of federal
judge all have helped determine the
outcome of many close legislative is
sues.
Voters are in large measure respon-
sible for much of the big spending by
government. Voters have demanded
more and more government benefits and
they have complacently accepted as
inevitable the present huge federal gov
eminent. Too many voters have insisted
on our share and too often have voted
for the candidate who promises to bring
home the biggest federal Doodle A

done to harm their party. Still.
they are good Americans, too,
and do not relish being placed
in the position Of appearing to
put party before country.
Thus there is a conflict over
this man, between politics and
principle. The Commun-
lists would like nothing better
than to see the po tiliccal-no
than to see the political con-
siderations prevail and a SCH
ism created. -
This a schism will not
occur. because the members of
the House Committee on Un--
American Activities are, above
every other consideration,
Americans first. .
We predict. therefore, that the
Committee will report its find
ings well before the election.

OF its members. the Committee.

Lesson for September 16, 1862

A Meddling Congress

The states Of the Union now
have an opportunity to give the
back Of their hand to q med
ding Congress = by promptly
rejecting the proposed (antipoll)
tax amendment to the ConStitu-
ton.
This amendment, which now
goes to the 50 states for ratifica-
ton, would outlaw any states
requirement that poll taxes be
paid before voting in federal
elections.
Alabama, Arkansas, Mississip-
pi, Virginia, and Texas now re-
quire payment of poll taxes as
prerequisite to voting. \
A number of other states,
many of them in the South.
formerly had the same require
ment, but eliminated it on their
own volition. Very few of these
states. however, are expected
to 60 along with the idea that
voting requirements should be
set by Congress, rather than by
the states.
Our Constitution itself provid-
es - in two separate places =
that federal electors shall have
the qualifications requisite for
electors of the most numerous
branch Of the State Legislature.
Earlier Amendments
Until now, this has meant that
the states were the judges Of
the voting qualifications requir-
ed of their own citizens. The ex-
ceptions to that rule have come
by way of constitutional amend
ment-such as the one which
gave women the right to vote,
and the one which banned the
use of race as a voting factor.
So, if we American people are
ready to impose a nationwide
ban OH the use of poll taxes as
voting requirements, we are ap-
preaching the matter in the pro-
per manner through process
OF amending the Constitution.
But ~ even if the approach
be proper = it does NOT nee
essarily follow that the premise
itself is correct. Our states vary
in their voting requirements, and
they have the right to make
their requirements weaker or
stronger as they see fit.
In Georgia, for example, 49,
year-olds can vote. In most
other states, they cannot. New
York State requires literacy
test of prospective voters. Some
states do likewise; many others
do not.
Five states require the paw
ment Of poll taxes as requisite
for voting. The other states do
not.
An interesting footnote to this
poll tax business is the presence
IN the Constitution of a section
which obviously clears the way
for the levy of a NATIONAL,
poll tax: mo capitation, or 9th
er direct, tax shall be laid un-
less in proportion to the census
or enumeration hereinbefore d.
rected to be taken"
But the issue here is not taxa
ton - but the requirement of
the payment Of taxes as a con-
dltlon Of voting. Some states
(South Carolina is one of them
still require payment of poll tax
es as revenue measure, but do
not link the payment with voting

Mans Folly

In England there are scientists who
are trying to do away with the COW,
as a producer of milk! Can it be?
Hard as it is to believe, they say they
have discovered way to make milk
by MASKING pea pods, the outer leaves
of cabbage and other relatively unwant-
ed greenstuffs, and adding water The
water is then heated and this precipit-
ates proteins.
To this mixture is added vitamins.
minerals, vegetable fats and carbohy
drates. The result is milk. But it could
mt sound less appetizing.
And yet, perhaps, the ingredients are
equal to the grass that cows eat, in
credible as it all sounds.
There is still one minor problem. The
scientists admit the milk has vegetable
taste. But they expect to conquer that
problem and think their product will

above that of a comparable group of
boys in mixed fifth class in math. Per
forn1ance was only slightly higher in
language and social studies. Mr.. Wells
says:
1--WE found boys in the all boy class
found common interest in their stud
les and gave each other encouragement.
In addition, there were no problems Of
discipline, even with those who had dis
cipline problems before"
Encouraged by the results of Fair
fax County, Virginia, two other school
systems will begin experiments into
this area of education: Montgomery
County, Maryland, and Pinelas County,
in Florida.

nation today separate school children

liquid form, shortly thereafter.
IT this experiment is successful it will
be the first in which man has improved
on nature. Man has tried it before and
failed.
Nature provided the cow and its won
derful distillation process. Nature also
provided grass, wheat, corn, barley,
which the cow consumes and distils.
The product is life-giving milk, from
which butter and cheese are further pro-
ducts.
Man came along and took the same
wheat, corn, barley feed it to still and
distilled death-dealing alcohol, with
with it's many by-products.
Man never was as smart as nature.
and we don't believe British scientists
can make synthetic milk comparable to
natures formula.

Pupil Separation By Sex

According to DR.. Johannes A. Gaert-
ner, of Lafayette College in Eastern
Pennsylvania, both Of the sexes suffer
when they are forced to learn together.
He states further:
1T is curious that in all the talk
about child centered teaching, the most
fundamental determinant of every
child, his sex, is never taken into ac-
count"
Glenn S. Wells, Principal of Fairfax
County's Wakefield Forest School in
Virginia, can speak from experience.
He has been supervising separate class
es for boys in the fourth, fifth and six
tn grades for the past two years. This
Virginia experiment with sex-segregat-
ed schools has met with considerable
success. According to Mr. Wells, fifth
grade class of boys achieve results way

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
KERRY DRAKE
BUZ SAWYER
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: In my English class
we are studying capitalization.
The rule in our book states that
the name of a political party is
to be capitalized. The example
given was Democratic party"
In a sample exercise it had
Conservative Party Capital
'PD." We have looked in en-
cyclopedias and they differ.
Our class is now writing party
with a small "p." Would you
please give us a more complete
rule?-AUDREY GEER.
New Castle, Pa.
Answer: Would that I could,
but I can't. The reason why no
hard and fast rules can be laid
down is that the whole area of
printing style" capitalization,
hyphenation, etc. is in state
of change. Over the past half
century there has been a trend
towards simplification in these
matters. Words which once were
hyphenated now tend to be
written solid. Elements in
proper names like party" in
Democratic party'O which
formerly were capitalized, now
are often seen with lower-caSe
letters.
My personal preference is
very much for capitalizing both
elements in this phrase. The
Style Manual of the Govern
ment Printing Office favors
this handling also.
Yet many well-edited books
(the Columbia and American
Peoples encyclopedias, to name
but two) give party" with the
small "p."
So my advice, in lieu of a
rule" is to follow the course

you and your classmates are
taking, bearing in mind that
you will find many exceptions
to the style you adopt. Ours is
a language of many inconsiSt-

encies-and this is perhaps as
good a time as any for you to
learn that for every rule there
is an exception-including this
