AS one part of the celebration of this
big day, DE Gaulle visited memorial
to Frenchmen who lost their lives fight

cupation (many elaborated with the
Germans). The procession included De
Gaulle passed within fifty yards of an
American military cemetery, where
thousands Of sons of American parents
lie buried - men who fought to free
France in two wars
The motOrcade did not even slow
down in respect, much less halt to pay
a short courteousy visit, according to a
newspaper account. Instead, large post
ers proclaiming the glory of De Gaulle
were pasted over the entrance gate
It is a sad commentary on the intel
ligence and gratitude Of the people Of
France that they are so easily led by
this 10Th century nationalist The NOR
al fibre of the French is certainly not
what it should be.

except where recent rains have
occurred. Corn is less than half
as tall as it should be and little
OF no corn has grown in some
spots Now the drought is taking
its toll in the number one crop,
tobacco. Unless rains come soon
on the recently planted tobacco,
tremendous losses will be felt.
Late Crops In
The farmer has not been sit
ting back idly during all this
dry weather. Most farmers
planted a late crop Of feed of
, some sort, mostly Sudax, sweet
sudangrasS or pearl millet.
These crops have responded we'll
where recent rains have fallen
but where the drought has con
tinued, the late crops either
didn't grow at all or are, just
above the ground.
Many farmers are still plant
ing these late crops. hoping for
rain. If rain comes. they could
set one and possible two cut
tings before frost hits. If no
rains comes, their work is in
vain.
Another problem is confronting
the farmer now. Sudax, which is
the fastest growing of the three
types, is almost impossible to
find in the feed stores, since the
demand has relinquished tn e
supply. j. w. Whitfield, Farm
vile dealer, said that he has
already sold 325 bushels of ST.
dax this year, compared to 1871
bushels last year. II would get
another 100 bushels now if
could buy it but the supply is
gone he said.
The feed shortage is a real
problem now and it will get
worse as winter approaches. Far
mers are having to feed cattle
with hay that would normally be
stored for winter. Cattle are get
ting little or no food from burn
ed pasture lands. The farmers
who were fortunate in getting a
late crop to grow are having to
feed it to their cattle now, rath-
er than store it for later use.
Last week a representative of
the United States Department of
Agriculture was sent to several
counties in central Virginia to
survey the present situation.
Donald C. CAN'T, ASC office
manager in Prince Edward, ac-
companied him on a survey Of
the Rice area. which is one of
the hardest hit of all areas. He
was very sympathetic toward
our situation. He seemed to think
there was definite need for
more assistance here. Of course
he will have to convince the de-
partment heads in Washington,
if he does advise additional dis
aster aid" Can't said.

little recognition inside France of the
day that World War II ended in Europe
There was hardly any mention made Of
the great Allied effort, mainly British
American and Canadian, which had re-
conquered France and restored her free
DOM
On June 9th, the anniversary Of the
landings in Normandy, by the Ameri
cans and British and Canadians, the
French staged no national ceremonies.
No credit was given the Allies, or the
Americans and British, for saving and
restoring France.
But on June 18th flags were flying
all over France and Paris had much ado

Eye Safety Is
A Vital Need

More than half a million Amer
leans suffer eye accidents every
year.
Most of these accidents, which
sometimes result in blindness or
impaired sight, are needless and
preventable..
Eye accidents are a particular
threatsto youngsters. Careful en-
phatic training in the dangers of
pointed sticks, BB-guns, bows
and arrows and fireworks are a
must In every family. Parents
can help by using common sense
In selecting toys that are safe
for the age of the child.
With the more widespread
utilization of regular physical
examinations, more small chill
dren are being found early with
defective vision than ever before.
Thus, more small children are
now wearing glasses. In child
hood play glasses are easily
broken. If a youngster in your
family wears glasses, inquire
about the protective safety len
ses that now are available.
Visual care of children should
begin in the pre-school years,
when many eye defects still can
be corrected. If the eye defect
Is something that cannot be cor
rected except by glasses, It is
important to have the child fitted
with glasses early to avoid pos
sible problems In school and at
play.
Equally important for parents
of children who wear glasses is
to remember that the child's
visision changes and that regular
eye examinations are Important
to make certain that the glasses
provide the proper correction.
Some of the warning signs of
eye trouble in children are ex-
cessive blinking, frequent rub
bing of eyes, squirting, excess
i've frowning, stumbling over
small objects, undue sensitivity
to light, red or swollen lids,
sites and inflamed or watery
eyes.
If your child shows any of
these symptoms, see your ply
sician. They may not be serious.
They may be symptoms of a po-
tentially dangerous condition that
could be corrected If care is be-
gun early.
