Reverence

4 number of years ago, when the
= writer was a sophomore in High
School, one Of the local ministers gave
a "study hall talk" that is still remem-
bered. The gray-haired pastor took half
a croquet ball from his coat pocket and
said, Il brought my lesson with me-"
The speaker went on to explain that
the half of croquet ball was "hemi-
sphere" which was one of the most awk-
ward shapes known to students of
geometry. 1t couldn't be rolled. Lying
on its flat side, it couldn't be budged.
Lying on its round side, it could be
wobbled in "wishy-washy" manner.
On the other hand, explained Rev.
Bush, a complete croquet ball, or
sphere was capable of many accom-
plishments. 1t could respond to power
applied from another source BY geo.
metric design, it was ideally fitted to
travel about and ''get some where"
The implication was obvious even be-
fore the old minister pointed out that
a life fully developed Intellectually and
not developed spiritually was only a
hemisphere" - with tendencies to be
either "wobby" or to stubbornly refuse
to bulge. A life developed both intel
lectually and spiritually was sphere"
he said, and capable Of travelling to un-
limited goals. Pennington tMo.) Daily Press

Publicizing Medicare

MADISON Avenue, renown for pro-
~ ducing advertising gimmicks, copy,
promotion and singing commercials on
nv, outdid itself recently in Madison
Square Garden in New York The giant
rally was to promote "Medicare," the
Presidents program for caring for the
aged through social security deduc-
tons against the wages and salaries of
American workers.
Over $4,000 people in attendance were
''google-eyed" when Marilyn Monroe
began discarding bales of white mink
right down to the skin, except for flesh
colored tights and sang into the micro
phone Happy Birthday" to the presi-
dent, whose plug for "Medicare" was
far overshadowed.
Such performances may be typical
of New York, but not of America. We
wonder what presidential image this
presents in other nations, and to this
nation, insofar as that goes. Just how
much of this kind of sorry performance
will this nation take?
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1962-06-22

has quadrupled and in 80 years from
now it will quadruple again. This is
the demand being placed on water, air,
coal, oil and timber, each of which
should be conserved. He sees little hope
of converting sea water into disable
fresh water.
Southeastern United States is fortu-
hate in having an unique supply" of
water, DR.. Baity believes But more eff
forts to conserve and store water should
be taken now The South is becoming
more industrialized, which increases
water demand for both industry and
increased population. It's water re-
sources should stand it in good stead
for future growth.
All Of which reminds us that we de-
lay and delay in controlling and con-
serving the water with which we are
presently blessed. Though small in the
overall picture, much work and less
progress has been made on the Buffalo
watershed in Prince Edward County.
Six property owners are holding up
completion of plans to control flooding
and conserve the water supply. They
have not yet agreed to easements on
their lowgrounds. Under the Soil Con-
servation program, structures to hold
and store water in season thus preven-
ting flooding, are proposed. All details
have been completed, funds appropri-
ated, to no avail until the proper ease
ments have been obtained One struc-
ture has been completed and it is hoped
that the balance of the easements may
be obtained SO that the entire project
can be completed
Other projects on Willis River in
Buckingham and Cumberland will be
underway when the easements have
been obtained. Roanoke Creek water
shed in Charlotte county is we'll along
the way. In addition to water and soil
conservation these structures form
lakes in some cases for fishing and re-
creation.
Water conservation is important to-
day and will be more important to-
morrow if DR.. Baity's studies prove
correct.

Just Want A Bath

nEANNA Chu, the first refugee from
Hong Kong to arrive in New York
under President Kennedy's emergency
refugee program, was asked, "Now that
you have set foot on our shores, what
is the first thing you would like to do?"
Much to the amazement for many
she replied: Il would like to turn on
water faucets and watch the water
run, both the hot and cold water at the
same time"
There is an acute water shortage in
Hong Kong, since the communists re-
duced the water supply to the island.
The shortage will be relieved in time
as the British are developing other
sources of water supply.
Water is a natural resource which
we take entirely for granted. The lack
of water or even the scarcity of water
rarely receive our consideration. Mil
lions Of gallons rush down our streams
carrying with it acres of topsoil thus
depicting farm fertility.
DIR. H. G. Baity, professor of SANTA
ton, has recently returned to Chapel
Hill after ten years spent in studying
the earth's water supply What he be-
lieves should be SOLDERING to us who give
our natural resources SO little attention
or concern.
One of the urgehcies of today is the
rapid consumption Of the earth's riches
including water. Man is making too few
plans for his survival beyond the next
Is to 33 years. The resources we have
taken for granted and which we pre-
sumo to be, inexhaustible are actually
SO limited as to disappear from prac-
teal usefulness within the lifetime of
our children's children, Dr. Baitv be-
lieves
Water is one resource, which with
proper care and storage can be used
again and again, but planning only 38
years ahead is too short-sighted in view
OF the explosions of population today.
DR.. Beatty pointed out that the world
population in l A. D. was about 300
million, which was doubled in the fol-
lowing 16 centuries to 600 million Tn
the last three centuries the population

Thus, there must be extreme
ly careful negotiations between
this country and the Common

benefits without paying too high
a price in hurt to our own in

Prof. Walter Hallstein. presi-
dent of the European Economic

tween a strong and prosperous
Western Europe and the United

The goal is inviting, and it

ton should be the watchword in
our negotiations. The American
economy is too vital to the free

Letter To Editor
Against ABc Store
In Cumberland

The advocates for repeal of
the prohibition amendment pro-
missed us that if prohibition were
repealed and beer, wine and
whiskey made legal that they
would get rid of the bootleggers
and that we would reap great
amounts of revenue from their
products. They have miserably
failed in the keeping of both
promises.
AS late as 1861, the US. Treas
ury Department reported that
it confiscated 14.498 bootleg
stills with a daily output of
300. 900 gallons of illegal whiskey.
It is estimated that for every
still taken in there were three
more undiscovered. LOCALIZED
whiskey does not put the boot
logger out Of business. It gives
two sources of supply instead of
one and that means increased
drinking, drunkenness and crime.
It is true that we receive
large amounts of money from
our "so-called ABC profits"
Philip E. Rogerson tells us in
the Religious Herald (p. 4,
524-62> that Virginia in a re
cent year received $4,000, OOO.O
in so-called profit but we spent
SIG. 000. 100000 to partially repair
the damage alcohol inflicted"
1t doesn't make good business
sense to pay out $4.22 for every
ST 90 received, and that is exactly
what we are doing The only way
the liquor business can stay in
business here in Virginia or any
other state is for you, Mr.. Tax
payer, to make up the difference
for the alcohol related costs -
increased space in our hospitals,
mental hospitals, rehabilitation
centers and our jails together
with increased number Of police
officers, enlarged welfare rolls
and health clinics aside from
broken homes, wrecked lives and
damned souls. R e m m b
friends, a substantial part of
our increase in taxes is due to in
creased alcoholic consumption
and its effect upon society Of

LACK OF INCENTIVE was
termed the bigge st Russian
farm problem by four members
OF a group of Virginians who
returned recently from a month
long tour of Soviet and Euro
pean farmlands. They found no
hungry people in Russia but
many poor people. Soviet agri-
culture was shot through with
politics and there was appal-
lingly inefficient use of labor,
particularly on the state and
collective farms.
