Increased Health Legislation To

The Central Virginia Health

ton, is supporting the State
Health Department in request
for increased health services IN
Virginia for the l964-66 bienmum.
Virginia needs more than eco

cordlng to the health depart
ment. which is asking for III.
The recognized standard Of pub
lie health rurses to population is
said to be one to 5000 popula-
ton. In Virginia, it is one nurse
to every 10000.
More nurses have been added
during the past six years but
this addition has not kept pace
with the growth in population.
In 1862. Virginia had a more IN
favorable ratio of public health
nurses to population than it had
four years earlier.

population and the longer life

Circuit Court Lifts Injunctions,
Remands Case To District Court
EDITORIAL
Stand Steady!

The Fourth Circuit Court
has in effect remanded the
Prince Edward County School
case to the U. S. federal
district court and Judge Oren
Lewis. which court will hold
jurisdiction until the case now
before the Virginia Supreme
Court Of Appeals has been de-
cided.
Embraced in the Prince Ed
ward case are several import
ant questions Of the Virginia
Constitution, which properly
are to be determined by the
States Supreme Court. State
law in the case was plainly
stated in a declaratOry judg-
ment by Judge John WingO
Knowles. which was appealed
to the Virginia State Supreme
Court. and now lies there for
decision. It is probable that
the Virginia Court will hear
the case in October.
We can not be too Optimi-
tic over the present decision
SO far as permanent solutions
are concerned. However. the
Fourth Circuit Court decision
is a step along the way in
Prince Edward COunty's ef-
fort to reach some permanent
solution.
To lis the turn of events
is not a time for elatiOn, or
false hope. The decision needs
to be studied carefully in all
OF its legal aspects, and until
then we urge our people not to
be over optimistic.
Prince Edward is still in
the courts and must look to
decision Of the courts for
its future course of action.
Stand steady, Prince Edward.

Late Frost And Drought Prove
Disastrous To Local Peach Cr0ps

The continuing drought, which
has prompted two kinds Of Fed
eral aid to farmers in IS coun-
ties. is now dipping its deathly
hand into another of the states
resources, the peach crop.
Orchard owners reports re
veal that 1885 peach Crops
vary in yields from half crop
some places to total loss at
others Not only has the drought
been a plague on the fruit but
late freeze which occurred on
May killed a great number of
trees. leaving some orchard own
ers with little or no peach and
apple crop
Not only is the orchard own
er suffering a great financial
loss due to this years poor crop
but the drought and frost have
destroyed trees to the pc n t
where they will produce no
more. thereby cutting the or
chard's yields for several years
to come. 1t will take several
years to replace these tr e es.
Owners have tried to save trees
by trimming limbs but as
the drought continues so does the
loss of trees continue.
Orchards that felt no effects
from the frost have seen the dry
weather cut yields in half. The
trees seem to have as many
peaches, in number. as usual
but they are only about half the
normal size. Peaches grew well
at first but all at once their
growth stopped. the fruit ripen-
ed, and you have a half size
peach. one owner stated.
W. B. and B. o. Davidson,
owners of Davidson's Orchard in
Buckingham county. told a Her
aid reporter Saturday that their
peach crop had been cut lust
about half Our peaches are
not nearly as big as they usual
~ are and a great many of our
trees have died and are dying,
B. O. Davidson said. I'VE have
