Report Reveals Plan
NOT To Use FreeWoys
For Moss Transit

far the greatest bulk of bus serv-
ice will have to remain on the
arterial streets to serve that de-
mand. Thus the local service"
problem in relation to freeways
is apparently nonexistent.
1t is believed that the above
remarks show that the Minnesota
Highway Department not only has
considered the problem of bus
movement on freeways, but has
based these considerations upon
the best available opinion.
Our interest in the total urban
transportation problem has been
maintained. The Mid is taking an
active part in the Joint Land Use
Transportation Planning Study, a
major planning effort now being
carried on in conjunction with the
Twin Cities Metropolitan Planning
Commission and other metropoli-
tan area agencies. The Planning
Research Section Of the Depart
ment will publish shortly a comp
rehensive study OF bus travel by
Twin City Area residents. One of
the purposes of this publication Is
to provide factual data necessary
to the discussion of the very COM
phcated problems of urban trans
portation.
Apologies For Twin City Lines
The problem of declining tran
sit usage is the second of the
major points discussed in the Re-
corder editorial. There is appar-
emily a prevalent feeling, as ex-
pressed in the editorial, that trans
it decline is the result Of de-
creasing service, increased fares,
and the numerous troubles of
Twin City Rapid Transit over the
past ten years.
We wish to point out that re-
duction of service and increasing
fares are primarily symptoms
rather than causes of decreasing
use of transit. The reasons for the
relative decline in mass transit
usage - in the Twin Cities as
well as in most other metropoh-
tan areas - are found In fUnda-
mental changes which have oc-
CURED in urban growth and urban
living. Low density development
by single family homes, increasing
income and auto ownership, great
er convenience and fleMbility at
tanned by auto usage, severe pop
ulation losses in high transit user
areas with attendant major gains
in areas not economically served
by transit, and decentralization of
commercial and industrial enter
prises are among these causes. It
is difficult to escape the conclu-
sion that the great increase in
auto use, with resulting transit de-
cline is primarily a symptom Of an
affuent urban society. This point
is supported by recent experience
in European cities, long almost
totally dependent on mass transit,
where rising standards Of living
since World War II have resulted
in striking increases in auto own
erShip. Thus any productive dis
cussion Of the various mass trans
it ills should recognize the above
factors.

fact would be mandatory for the
effective operation Of such an
agency.
1t should be pointed out, how
ever, that transit authority pro-
ponents should set reasonable goals
for any agency established. Crea-
ton of a new agency, even with
increased powers, is not going to
create a sudden diminution In the
operation of the basic causes of
transit decline, some Of which
were outlined above. These "re-
sonable goals" should be based
upon a realistic assessment Of such
factors as the portion Of the popul-
alton which requires service now
and in the future, the location Of
such population, and the general
level Of transit service which is
to be considered adequate within
financial limitations.
Department
Recognizes the Need"
Furt h hermore, if adequate"
service means uneconomical oper-
alton as is true of many metro
politan areas, the difficult ques-
tions of subsidies and methods Of
financing such subsidies must be
faced, along with the possible
further question of public VS.. priv
ate ownership.
The Minnesota Highway De-
partment is now in a position to
furnish extensive, well document
ed, information helpful to the
proper assessment of the total ur-

Everhart repeatedly fled the
State of Georgia and his pres

Eyerhart's apparent lack of
responsibility and sense of
moral obligation are further
shown by . ls47 conviction for
the abandonment Of his
wife and four children. For this,
he received a 12-month sus-
PENDED sentence.
John B. Eyerhart. a Negro
male, was born June "a, 1922,

The Children's Home Society
Of Virginia placed l48 babies in
adaptive homes last year. the
largest number 1t has ever plac-
ed In a year. j. w. Stuart
Gilchrist. general secretary,
said in the society's annual re-
Fort just issued.
A total Of 434 babies were In
the care Of the society last year.
They were pretty wen scattered
around the State. There were
three babies from Buckingham
County and four babies in adop-
tive homes in Prince. Edward.
In Amelia. Buckingham and
Cumberland local campaigns
were held for the society. In
Prince Edward county the soci-
ETY. was a member Of the Com
nlunity Chest. Funds received
from these sources were Of great
assistance to the society in car
rying on its work.
I Gilchrist pointed out that the
society is now able to place
most Of its babies in homes with
In six months after the adaptive
parents have filed their applica-
ton. In previous years 1t has
usually taken longer.
He reported also that the soci-
ETY. is placing babies in adaptive
homes at earlier ages-this max
es it possible to care for more
babies.
The large number of babies in
need of homes results in the
need for continuing growth and
expansion of the society to care
for them. Gilchrist said. and the
society also will need more ador-
tive families.
He reported that the society
received in to care 154 babies
last year. as compared with ISL
the previous year. and that it
placed seven more in adaptive
homes than in 1860.
I'VE deeply appreciate every
contribution We have received"
Gilchrist said. because it has
helped US take care of more
babies. We hope that gifts will
be even more generous this
year because the need will be
greater"

Veterans Questions Are Answered

Here are authoritative answers
by the Veterans Administration
to questions from former service
men and their families:
@ = Members of the armed
forces on active duty may be
protected from lapse Of COM
mercia1 insurance policies by the
VA under terms of the Soldiers
and Sailors Civil Relief Act. just
what does it mean?
A Once your commercial
insurance policy is protected by
the VA under these terms, 1t will
not lapse or terminate for non
payment of premiums while you
are on active duty and for two
years after your discharge. I'm
less you request withdrawal of
the protective provisions. If you
do not pay the premiums and
interest to your insurance COM
pany during the protective per-
iod, the amount due will be
treated by the VA as a loan. If
the cash surrender value of your
policy at the end Of the protec-
tive period is less than the
amount guaranteed. the policy
will terminate and the govern
ment will pay your insurance
company the difference. Any
sum. paid the company by the
VA will become your debt to the
United States.
@ - I am a World War II
veteran. Since I designated the
beneficiary for my CT insurance,
l have married and have two
sons. How can I change my bene-

hciary and perhaps the option

A Write your VA Regional
Office for form 1855. Change
Of Beneficiary and Election of
Optional Settlement. Fill out
the form and mail it to the in
surance office to which you pay
yorr CT insurance premiums.
q = viii the VA guaranty a
business loan where a veteran
may purchase a boat to use in
business, either fishing or the
transportation of igh t seeing
tourists?
A - Yes. If the veteran can
negotiate a loan to buy a boat
as a business venture the VA is
authorized to guaranty the lend
er against loss up to so percent
of the loan with a maximum
guaranty of $1,000 on onreal
estate loans.

State Outlaws
Use OF Live
Cholera Virus

The Virginia legislature has
enacted law which will out
law the use of live hog cholera
virus. and hasten the eradica-
ton of the dread disease from
the state.
The new law prohibits the use
of live cholera virus without
| written permission of the State
Veterinarian.
In the past, live virus has
been used to combat hog "chol-
era, but serious disease out
breaks have resulted from use
of nsafe or contaminated
biologics.
A modified virus vaccine and
an inactivated vaccine have
been proven effective. They are
made up of weak or dead Or
ganisms that gives immunity
without the risk of spreading
cholera.
With the enactment of this
law. Virginia is included with 40
o'her states which have outlaw
ed the live virus.
1t put the state one step
closer to regaining the foreign
markets which have denied en-
try of American pork products
1t also put the state in the po-
sition Of being ready for ex-
pected regulations from USDA
which would prohibit interstate
transportation of the live virus.
Last year, Congress passed a
law aimed at stamping out the
number one hog disease. USDA
was authorized to draw up an
eradication program and action
is expected to be taken in the
swine industry this year.
The legislation became effec-
tive upon the signature of Gov
ernor Harrison. February 8.
1862.
The possession, sale, or use,
of live virus by any person or
persons became a violation as
of that date.

AMELIA, Feb. 19-Farming is
one of the most hazardous &C.
equations in America today. This
does not mean that it is getting
worse but that it is improving
at a very slow rate.
More people are killed on the
farm than in any other industry;
however, in deaths per 10000.
workers it ranks third, only be-
hind mining and construction.
In 1860 there were $50 acciden-
al deaths in Virginia. There were
over ll.70Q farm residents killed
in the U. S. and over one mil
lion disabling injuries. These
tragic losses should concern each
of us as members of a civic
group represented by the leaders
in this community.
One of the most regrettable
features of the waste resulting
from accidents is the injury and
loss of life among children. The
saddest part of the tragedy is
that most of the accidents in
volving children could have been
prevented if they had been given
ADEQUATE safety training at an
early age.
We are morally responsible to
see that safety is practiced in
the home and on the farm.
We should ask ourselves: Do
: take unnecessary chances
while driving or performing
farm work? Are my children ev-
er left alone in the home? Am
courteous to other drivers and
pedestrians? Have my home or
farm buildings been inspected
for hazards within the last six
months. if hazards were found
have I corrected them? Do as
a parent know and understand
what steps should be taken if
my child eats poison? Have I
learned the mouth-to-mouth met
bod of resuscitation?
Does the commandment,
Thou shalt not kill. apply to
driving a farm vechile on q
heavily Travelled highway? Are
driveways and intersections near
the home or farm clear of OBJ
struction for the safety of pas
sing motorists?
In the process of normal farm
operation. it is necessary to
move farm machinery on pub.
lie roads. Accident experience
indicates that this routine lob Of
moving equipment ranks high
among the hazards Of farm wori
