Fire Loss Said
About $4,000

Farmville and Prospect fire
men battled a hot, stubborn fire
for about IA hours Tuesday. The
fire destroyed the dairy barn of
Averett Simpson, located on his
farm between Farmville and
Prospect.
Farmville Fire Chief Phillip
F. Gay estimated the damage at
about $4,000. The dairy barn,
including a new portion that was
about four years old, was COM
pletely destroyed. However, the
fire companies were successful
in preventing the spread Of the
fire to the milk house, W hi c h
was Just several feet from the
barn. They also saved the silo
at the rear of the barn. The silo
was filled with ensilage, which
may still be disable. chic f
Nordstrom of the Prospect unit
said there were between five and
ten thousand bales of hay in the
loft.
The loft Of the dairy barn was
filled to acity with hay,
which was complete loss. The
origin of the fire was not de-
termined but one theory WIS
advanced that it may have been
caused by some electric light
bulbs that were burning in the
loft.
The loss was not covered by
insurance.
The Farmville volunteer unit
was called at 2::45 pm. and
as soon as they arrived they
called Prospect for assistance
The Prospect unit was already
on the way, arriving right be-
hind the Farmville unit. Both
units hauled water and pumped
it on the barn and other build
lngs trying to contain the fire
in the one building, which they
did successfully.
The fires was pretty well con-
tanned about $50 pm. when the
Farmville unit came back to
town. However, they were call
ed back to the scene about 7:15
to help get the burning hay off
the cement floor, in an attempt
to save the floor.
F'armville retired from this
project about midnight and the
Prospect unit stayed on until al
most 5 in the morning before
taxing their truck home.

Board Proposes Curfew;
Amends Rabies Ordinance
AS Officers See Curfew
Aim Prevention, Not TO Punish

The preventive, not the punt
tive, aspect of the proposed cur
few ordinance in Prince Edward
county is the one law enforce
ment officers and town and
county officers here unanimous
" underscore.
In endorsing the proposed &C
ton, William P. Hay, Jr.. judge
of the Juvenile Court as well as
the County Court, told the board
of supervisors Tuesday, Il don't
think our juvenile situation is so
bad that we need a punitive
measure. l visualize the benefits
as purely preventive.
Judge Hay pointed out that
less than one per cent of the
county's young people become
involved with the law. He also
said. The proposed ordinance
won't affect the youths out to
do what's right, and at the same
time it could serve to deter

trouble

The Commonwealth Attorney
Frank N. Watkins, in the joint
discussion of officers and super
visors. pointed out that the &C
ton here would be nothing new.
Communities all over the state
apparently are finding this sort
Of measure desirable. Many al
ready have similar ordinances.
Watkins also stressed the pre-
ventive side. The proposal fol-
lows the same intent as that

Mayor William F. Watkins,

prevail Of a curfew earlier this
month. said that ending he
"aimless nighttime riding
around and lettering" of a few
would benefit all the young
people.
Judge Hay shared this view
adding that "Aimlessness can
turn to something else and at
late hours with nothing else to
do, it could be something to be
regretted later"
Enforcement -.
The enforcement provisions of
the ordinance, too, are primari-
ly preventive, the officers point
ed out. It would not force or
even empower police or deputies
to press charges against young
violators. It gives the police
only legal authority to super
wise; it provides ample excep-
tons for properly supervised
youth activities requiring their
being out after the curfew. 1t

A midnight to 5 am. curfew

visions pertaining to willful col
fusion or neglect by parents, was
proposed for adoption by the

Why is Church
against F~reenndsOnry?

@. Why Is the Catholic
Church against the Masons?
A. Freemasonry is an or
ganization with certain re-
ligious principles. When the
Catholic Church states that
no Catholic can be q Mason
it is simply being logical.
The Church no more con-
dennis Freemasons than it
does Mohammedans.
1t is true that there have
been sharp conflicts (espe-
cially in Europe), but the
Catholic position is based on
the deistic principles of the
organization. AS Father
Whalen points out in Chris
tianity and American Free
masonry" we recognize that
most Cat least most Ameri-
CAM Masons are not con-
cerned with the religious
ideas of Freemasonry.
Still, it does have these
principles, and they deny or
question the existence of

THE CHURCH AND CHRISTENDOM

duty to lead a life of holi-
ness.
They tend, in the spirit of
the Reformation, to a theo-
cratic idea of the State, and
aim at influencing politics
ard legislation through the
conscience of the Christian,
nation" In large measure,
this is a lay movement.
THE ROA Church par
ty adopts, in many respects,
a liberal standpoint, one of
accommodation to the mod
ern conception of the world.
Its roots lie in the latitudin-
arianism of the Seventeenth
and Eighteenth Centuries,
which adopted and develop
ed the German theology bas-
ed on Kant and the positiv-
istic-historical theology of
Germany.
The modernistic stamp re-
ceiVed in the Twentieth Cen
fury was of little Importance
in itself, but it combined
with the basic liberal atti-
tude to promote Indifferent
ism.
The Anglo-C Catholic Sec
ton came into prominence
through the Oxford Move
ment of the last century; the
Tracts for the Times were
written to make the clergy
realize their apostolic call
inc and authority. The
Movement compelled men to
reflect anew on the nature
of the Catholic Church. the
apostolic succession, and also
on the necessity and scrip
tural basis of the episcopal
office.
Church, priesthood. sacra-
ments and liturgy all took
their places in a coherent
theological structure and
practice grounded on the Au-
gustinian tradition. The sac
rament of penance in the
Catholic form was re-adopt-
ed: Mass vestments. incense
and candles were used; and
new religious communities
were founded in accordance
with the Roman tradition.
The Anglican reformation
retained, more than the
Luthern and Calvinist, posi-
tive elements of the tradi-
ton of the old Church. and
so is closer to the Roman
Catholic position. Thus the
Anglicans hold more firmly
than all the other reformed
confessions to the Councils
of the first millennium and
the doctrine of the Fathers.
They preserved a pro-
nounced sense of the visi-
BILE unity of the Church and
upheld a structure of the
Church based on the episco-
pate. In general, their theol-
oov discountenanced an I'M
restricted application of the

To begin thinking on this further

Some of these questions are sheep

Is to separate them, one from another.

In the frightening pause which fol-
lows the goats, a sense of failure per-
meates the room. This permeation is
usually permanent. However, if 0
have sorted through the wisdom pieces
that you possess and find that you abb
solutely cannot contend with the goat,
you might try one of the following
suggestions:
/. Keep a large dictionary within
reach SO that you can spell the words
that the children use. (This takes
time, if properly fumbled, and they
may forget what they asked in the
first place.
2. Keep a large fan within reach to
wave about, prettily. This cools the
room temperature and puts you in a
coy moody
B. Keep a dish of sweets within
reach to distract. (This almost always
works.
| personally find it too much trou-
bic to stay within reach of the first
and second of these props. | favor the
third suggestion and buy appropriate
'ly alluring candies, such as ~licorice
whips, j~aWbreakers and corn.
These candles add a delicate amount
of s%weetening and the tough question
periods will be remembered, at adult
hood, as sweet, although somewhat
frustrating times. And. if you think
about it, this is more than is usually
gotten from a question that you can't
answer.
