PIanned Deceit?

With the granting of high rise
coming for Mr.. & Mrs. Aubinoe,
/ fear we see the beginning of
the disintegration of a fine res
idential community. An area in
which Mr.. Aubinoe himself was
q prime builder An area where
people paid thousands of dollars
more for a home because OF at
tractive master plans for truly
desirable living.
Now, after building and sell
ing all those fine homes, Mr..
Aubinoe has broken faith with
his customers. He suddenly sees
a need for high rise apartments.
All the current roads were eth
er planned or built all the time
he was telling home buyers he
saw no need to ever re-Zone the
Old Georgetown Road Area.
There is no doubt in my mind
that this was planned deceit.
There will no doubt, now be
a flood of zoning requests for
this area and 1 can see no
grounds for the County Council
to refuse any of them. Builders
would be foolish to construct
private homes knowing that
with a little effort they could
get new coming.
My sincere gratitude goes to
DR.. Wilson and his strong stand.
He has the courage to cross
what seems to be party lines
and think Independently.
trust that Mr.. Aubinoe will
be able to sleep with his bank
book, because as I see it, he will
not be able to sleep with his con-
science.

the area attended to protest the
rezoning. Petitions signed by
$4,000 property owners opposed
the rezoning. However, the
County Council saw fit to dis
regard all these directors
Could 1t be that the developer
happens to be Alvin Aubinoe?
AS an influential Republican
hacker with his wife on the
COP State Central Committee,
Mr.. Aubinoe's name on the re.
quest for rezoning evidently
swayed the Republican mem
bers on the council.
If we are to have a represen.
tative county government, the
members of the County Council
must not be inundated by par
tisan politics but cast their
votes for the good of the com
munity. In this instance, the
building of these apartments,
with a concentration of popula'
ton and increased traffic, would
destroy property values of exist
ing homes and destroy the safe.
ty we seek for our children.
Rather than vote for the finan-
cial gain of one individual, |
suggest that Miss Diggs, Mr.,
Floyd, Mrs. Hepburn and Mr..
Hiser reconsider, review the
evidence, and change their
votes, to deny this zoning
change.

Had the counciImen consider
ed the future ramifications of
rezoning in this area and the
potential threat to the well be-
ing safety, financially of the
many, many property owners in
this high density area, I doubt
whether the rezoning would
have been tentatively approved.

COMMISSIONER BROWN CITED FOR
"VI6OR' IN AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT

Govrnor Ralph M. Paiewonsky yesterday was conducted on an
inspection tour Of the St. Croix operations of the Department Of Agri-
culture and Labor by Commissioner Louis. 2. Brown
First stop was at the Departments headquarters in Christansed,
where the Governor renewed mountaineering with old friends and
met new members of the staff.
The inspection party paused briefly at Peter Carl Limpricht
Park, one of the public facilities under the stewardship of the Dvi-
son of Agriculture, then moved b no the Experimental Station at
Annas Hope. Here, the Governor saw acres of tomato and pepper
seedlings which will be sold to st. Croix farmers for a penny each.
This is part Of a government-sponsored program which will yield
aWo million pounds Of vegetables to be shipped to the winter market
n the mainland from December through March.
Also at Annas Hope Station, Governor Paiewonsky saw the
hog breeding facilities where Tamworth, Landrace and Durock pigs
are being bred for sale OF local farmers at $40 each, instead of the
SIS per head they would otherwise have to pay for getting started.
Commissioner Brown said that particular attention is being paid to
the cross-breeding Of Tamworth and Landrace hogs, which seems
TO- produce an ideal type Of pork under Virgin Islands conditions
"You rnenber, Governor" he said, shat the Danish Landrace breed
was one the skeptcs said we couldn't grow here. Our experiments
have disproved this belief"

QUEEN LOUISE HOME FOR CHILDREN
RUNS AT ALoss OF Sl5O0.OO PER MONTH

The Queen Louise Home for Children in Frederik-
sted, which is unable to afford to give its youngsters
mostly 3 to 5 yearsold-fresh milk and which does not
have the regular services of a doctor, operates at a loss
of $4,000 a i month.
That's because it costs $4,000 to feed, clothe and
house each child living there. And the Queen Louise
Home receives only $4,000 per month for each child.
This is a loss Of $500 a month for each dependent
yopngster in the home.
Therefore, Mr.. and Mrs. Matz, Supervisors, must
watch every penny Of their meager funds.
And they do. Mr.. Matt has recently layed linoeum
on some Of the floors which adds some zest to the sparse
" furnished home. He also does the painting in the
home to save money on labor.
Yet, despite carrying out their heavy duties, the
Iatz's find time to take the children for sWims at Sandy
Point, Cramers Park and other beaches where most Of
The children enjoy getting their feet wet"

Excess Fertilizer
Damages Plant Beds

Each year many tobacco plant
beds fail because growers use
too much fertilizer on tn e r
beds, says G. R. Mathews, TO-
bacco specialist at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute.
Damage is caused by an ac-
emulation of fertilizer al t S
near the soil surface. These salts
severely damage the root sys-
tenn, causing plants to turn yell
low and die. Such plants often
break off at the surface of the
soil when touched.
This problem, says Mathews,
will also develop when the cor
rect amount of fertilizer is used
but is applied unevenly on the
bed. Also, too much fertilizer
may accumulate in low areas in
the bed when the soil surface
is uneven, this is often the rea-
son that some areas in the bed
make poor growth
It's a good idea, says III c
specialist, to divide the amour,
of fertilizer applied into tw c
equal parts. Apply one-half il
one direction, and the rest il
the opposite direction,
Be sure to use a fertilizer
formulated for tobacco plan
beds.

Longer Selling Season
w. Powell Hurt said hurried
marketing hurts growers as
much as anything. He recon-
mended less time before Christ
mas with more sales days in
late January and February. His
reasoning was that the short
selling season of IS days causes
farmers to hire extra labor and
puts the farmer inside stripping
tobacco when he should be TAX
ing advantage of the milder fall
weather. After the middle Of
January farmers can do little
else but work inside and that's
when they should be marketing
tobacco.
The growers agreed Monday
night that changes are needed
in the marketing of dark tobacco
and asked Mr.. LasSiter for help
from the Agricultural Marketing
Association. They also agreed
that the growers Of dark to-
baccO must organize if their lot
is to improve.

Damage OF Pine
Sawfly Predicted
Less This Spring

Hopeful is the word said R.
P. Brierley, Farmville district
forester, reporting on the results
of a recent pine sawfly egg sur
vey made by the Virginia Di-
vision Of Forestry.
Studies made in the Piedmont
and Coastal areas. hard hit by
the pest in 1858. 1859 and 1860.
indicate a significant reduction
in damage for the spring of
1868.
Although the saWfly larvae

feeds on the pine needles = will
still be found throughout the
areas where it was earlier cpl
demic. its damage Will be linn
tied generally to light defolia-
ton of pines in the Piedmont.
A comprehensive study of the
biology of the Virginia pine saw
fly by the staff at the State
Forester's office has revealed
that various natural controlling
factors including mice. ants and
other insect parasites, preda-
tors and diseases apparently be-
gan to catch up with the eXplod-
ing saWfly population by 1860 in
the Piedmont and by 1861 in the
northern coastal areas
To assist the native insect
parasites bring the damaging
populations Of this sawfly under
control, over a million parasitic
wasps were reared in the lab
oratory and released on 1860 and
1861 in problem areas. These in
sects have become established
over much Of the State where
the sawfly has been epidemic.
Brierley reports that the study
showed that although there was
little outright mortahy Of the
native Virginia and shortleaf
pines attacked by the sawfly.
defoliation resulted in a loss of
wood volume as high as a cord
per acre.
Eggs of the pine sawfly. laid
in November on the pine need

feed on the pine foliage (only
the older foliage is consumed
until midway and then drop to
the ground to spin cocoons be-
meath the fallen needles. Here
they rest until November when
the destructive cycle begins
