ed in July by the Underwood
Corporation of his success in

a two-week all-eXpense vacation
in Italy for two.
In a nationwide contest run
ming from January l of this
year through June 80, the trip
was awarded for sales achieve
ment set on quota basis in each
district as designated by the
company. Mr.. Keeling not only
met his quota, but exceeded it
by 100 percent. In fact, his store
reached this goal in April, the
first in the Southern District to
do so.
Things have really been busy
and exciting since then" Mrs.
Keeling. who helps her husband
part time in the store, said.
We've been writing for pass
ports trying to learn key Italian
phrases, something about the
foreign currency, and I've been
sewing
In referring to the latter, Mrs
Keeling was speaking OF her
hobby, which is making her own
clothes. She has just completed a
whole, new wardrobe for the
trip.
But lately, it seems, we've
mainly been consoling each 9th

Outlook

This is the way prospects for
Virginia farm prices looked to
the Virginia Department of Ag-
rjculture on Friday. The Depart
ment offers it to farmers with
the warning that no one can pre-
dict prices and be right all the
time.)
Virginia corn prices should re-
main favorable at least until
western corn starts coming into
market. When this happens the
Chicago price is expected to
drop. This price is usually at its
bottom about the middle Of Oc-
tober, but the majority of the
corn Virginia has to sell should
be gone by then.
The national production figure
as of September was three
billion, 939 million bushels -
eight per cent above last year
and an all time record.
AS far as this years total sup
ply, new crop plus carry over Of
old. it's seen to be five billion,
ia million and one per cent be-
low last year. Utilization of this
years crop should run a little
better than four billion bushels.
A continuing decline in carry
over corn can be expected.
The picture in Virginia is diff
ferent from the national forecast.
A production estimate of II mil
lion bushels is expected in t h E
Old Dominion. a decline Of about
46 per cent from last year for
the shortest crop since 1857

Soybeans
Demand for soybeans SHOULD
remain favorable and a gooG

tinue. Increased uses for this
crop is an important factor.

ly is 723 million bushels, eigh1

IOne Triplet Survives

BIRMINGHAM, Mass. R - Only faith - one of the famed Faith, Hope and Charity triplets- survived Tuesday.
 Charity died at Gushing Hospital Monday, following her sister, Hope, in death by little more than a year.
 The three sisters once were the nations oldest living triplets.
 Faith is Annie Faith Mcdonnell. Charity was Nora Charity Murphy, widow of Edward Murphy, former Boston and Worcester newspaper man.
 The triplets were born in 1868 at North Brookfield to MT. and Mrs.Dan Coughlin, natives of Cork County Ireland. Their fame began early - at the age of few weeks when they won a baby show prize.
 Over the years they received birthday greetings from all parts of the world. Presidents, royalty and church leaders had extended congratulations to them.
