ToAction at
Aliens Fresh

A heavy rain which hit the
area around Aliens Fresh early
in the week was a spoil sport
for eager anglers for a couple of
days, but the runoff was fast
and action has resumed there.
The rain dumped a great
amount Of water on the Wi
comico River and up until yes
terday the stream was out Of
its banks and the current was
so swift that it was impossible
to fish the fresh itself. Not a
perch was caught during the
high water.
But yesterday a number of
fishermen tried it and came
away with good strings of roe
yellow perch. some pike and
even a few black bass. Condi-
tons should improve steadily
at the fresh unless there is more
rain.
Word From North Carolina
Even during the high water
some optimistic anglers in
sisted on fishing and managed
to come up with several black
bass.
There is word Of some sue
ceSses from far points. Aycock
Brown, who chronicles doings
from Manteo. N. c., claims
that anglers in his area have
proved March fishing in fresh
water pays off. at least around
Kitty Hawk. He says a couple
of anglers got their limits of
large mouth bass on spoons,
porkrind and live bait in sew
eral visits to Martins Creek, a
tributary Of Currituck Sound.
Several Of the fish went to
31a pounds and one was q s.

Word From st. Mary's
Mayor Julian Oneto Of Mays
Head reported some good
catches were made in the ponds

Down in st. Mary's County,
Md. Buck Briscoe, who keeps
a line on anglers in his area,
says large numbers Of herring
are being caught with small
spoons and spinning rods In
Kingston Greek, one Of the
Patuxent River tributaries.

Of three Of his constituents,

Kneel-In Case
Dismiss Motion
Denied By Judge

Circuit Court Judge Joel w.
Flood has deried a defense at
torney's motion that charges
against six Negroes convicted OF
a Sabbath kneel-in disturbance
here be dropped for want of con-
stitutionality.
In denying the motion of At
torrey S. W. Tucker Monday,
Judge Flood told him, IF your
idea is correct, there are no le-
gally established churches in
Virginia, and l can't 60 along
with you on that"
The charge on which the six
adults were convicted in Prince
Edward County Court was that
they ''willfully disturbed an as
senlbly met for the worship Of
God The case came before
Judge Flood on appeal of the
lower court findings, and Circuit
Court jury trial for the six are
due during November.
Reason for Motion
Tucker moved that the Court
set aside the lower court con
vlctlons on the grounds that the
state statute prohibiting interior
ence with an assembly worship
ping God violates the due proc
ess clause of the 14th Amend
ment and off e n d S the First
Amendments provisions against
state establishment of religion.
The statute on which the con-
victions were made is one of the
oldest in Virginia S code. The
County Court sentenced the six
to 500 and Jail terms. Judge
William P Hay. Jr.. suspended
the jail sentences of three of
them.

S. w. Tucker, the Chief legal
counsel of the NAACP in Vir-

case.
Carter said I'VE are challeng

Crop Losses
$40 Millions

The 1868 drought has reduced
the va Tue of l8 key Viz
glnla crops by an estimated
$40 GIL 900, Agriculture Commits
sioner Richard D. Chimney has
announced.
The Virginia Department of
Agriculture compiled this fig
ure based on October l crop es-
Inmates and the best price in
formation available. 1t compar-
ed this years crop value with
that of 1862 These estimates
We're made on crops and do not
include livestock.
Virginia's total crop value in
1862 was $500 1886 900 and this
years crop value is estimated
to be S240,675 900. This is a re-
duction of Is per cent.
Corn production is down 81
per cert from last year: hay
production is down 50 per cent.
and soybeans are down % per
cent.
Tobacco, Virginia's lead
ing money crop. was also hit
hard this year. Flue cured to-
bacco production is off % per
cent; fire cured. II per cent,
sun-cured, II per cent and Bur
ley tobacco is reported off 3 per
cent
The report includes only the
crop value, but livestock pro-
duction has been drastically at
fected BY the drought. The re-
duction Of hay yields and the
lack Of pastures has caused
number Of dairymen and cattle
men to reduce their herds or, in
some cases, to be forced out OF
business.

Il am sure that you share my
deep concern about the blight
that racial segregation and dis
elimination places upon our COM
mum ty, state and nation, and
that you are eager to take the
necessary effective steps in re-
moving such blight.
Continued representation on
the part of political and business
leaders will inevitably result in
the Negro community resuming
Gemonstrat ons which will be a
strain on the meager resources
Of our community In order that
this action may be obvlated as
sumng that it is your desire
that such activity not be resum-
ed the following demands will
have to be met:
Il. The appointment of BIZ
racial committee composed of
persons from both races whose
IDEAS and beliefs are orlented
toward working out the ways
and means Of bringing b 0 u t
democratic change rather than
toward preserving the status
quo.
-. The enactment Of a public
accommodation law.
3. The appointment of Ne
groes to positions in the munich
pal government at levels above
the janitorial and custodlal serv-
ices.
''4 That the area businesses
and industries employ qualified
\ persons on the basis of ability
and training regardless Of race,
creed or color.
5. The distribution of larger
proportion OF tax revenue for
improving the residential areas
where Negroes now live eg.,
paving streets, proper drainage
facilities etc
I'VE are a people of great
patience, but our patience is not
of infinite duration. We believe
that the foregoing demands are
lust and represent those rights
which we should have always en-
joyed under the constitution of
the United States Of America.
Your cooperation in effecting
the experimentation Of these de-
mands is expected and Will be
greatly appreciated. Your re-
Spouse to the contents of this
letter by return mail is awaited
Very truly yours,

stationary of the Virginia State
Conference of the NAACP, which

fist Church of Falmville. T h e
letter reads as follows.
1T has been brought to my
attention that there has been an
attempt on your part and that
Of the Town Council to dis
courage adult participation in
demonstrations and peaceful pic
keting in protest aga INST dis
crlminatory practices in our
community.
The latest action in this re-
gard on the part of the Town
Council at its regular meeting
was decision requiring those
desiring to picket to state their
reasons for so doing in advance
1t appears to me that this is an
outright act of Intimidation
1T should be perfectly obvious
that the Negro citizens are using
this means to bring into op E n
recognition t h c contribution
made by them to the economic
and social institutions in thi S
community.
1t is general knowledge that
Price Edward County Negroes
spend proportionately more of
their income than any other
group in the County through
necessity, to eat and be housed.
l. IS equally true that together
With Negroes III the adjacent
counties the spending power of
the Negroes in this area enables
the economy Of the Farmville
community to survive.
Moreover, it is apparent that
Negroes are prohibited fro n
sharing equally or proportionate-
~ in the total economic and 50
cal life of this community
neither are they accorded theil
rights and privilege Of first class
citizenship.
I'VE wish to call your atten-
ton to the fact that Negroes al
this stage in their struggle fol
first class citizenship are not
going to remain inert in the face
of continued denial of theil
rights. and it should be m a d {
clear that every opportunity tc
take effective action in redress
ing these grievances will be TAX

Easement Knot
Untangled On
Watershed Dams
Contracts For
Two Structures
TO Be Let Soon

With the time consuming prob
lem of aiming easements
nearly whipped, progress on the
74,700-acre Buffalo Greek Water
shed development in Prince Ed
ward county is expected to make
rapid strides now.
Five years Of effort has left
but one of the required 68 ease
ments yet to be obtained. The
easements permit workers, con-
tractors and equipment access
to private land where nine
working retarding structures,
or dams. have been or are to
be erected.
H. E. Lacy. county soil con-
servationist. today said that
dam sites 3 and 4 are the latest
on which the easement task has
been completed. They join struc-
lures /. 2. 5, 6 and 7 in this
respect.
The single unclaimed ease
ment involves both structures
and g. When obtained, it will
free these for start of engineer
ing surveys which must precede
dam construction.
Lacy said that the final sur
veys have been completed on
Dams l. 5, 6 and Z, ard that
engineers are in the process of
blueprint designing of the dam
structures now Survey engi-
neers now will move to Sites 3
and 4.
Two More Contracts
The county conServationist re-
ported that contracts for con
struction at Dams and 6 are
expected to be let in February
or March. These dams are plan
ned on the upper reaches Of Buff
falo Creek south of Darlington
Heights.
The huge water conservation
development has one completed
dam on Lockett Greek at Site
No. ?, seven miles from Pamplin
off the Five Forks Road. The
S5l.2l5 construction job was
done by Wick Construction Com
parry. Of Farmville. and the 81
acre lake 1t created filled in the
summer of 1862.
In addition. five and a half
miles of the Lockett creek chan
mel has been d pened and
cleared from Dam No. 2 to the
creeks confluence with Buffalo
creek. Gardiner Ditching Com
pany, Of Hillsville. won this
s3o.7l0 lob last fall and winter. |
All streams below the dams
are to be similarly cleared of
silt. debris. fallen trees, etc, as
part of the development and
conservation of water resources
in the elimination of flooding.
Partnership Financing
The project vering the
Is .0OO-acre watershed of Buffalo
creek and its tributaries is esti-
mated to cost 1851 ,673. The
federal government will provide
SS39.422 to finance dam con-
struction, stream clearing and
other contract projects.
The total cost includes farm
labor and materials provided by
watershed landowners in con
verting their fields to conserva-
ton farming practices. This
erassroots investment in erosion
elimination must precede invest
ment Of funds by the federal
agency in water controlling
