CHARMING WILLIAMSBURG
Many of the most important pages
in the social and political history
of Virginia were written in Wil-
liamsburg, the colonial capital,
much of which is now restored to
its original charm. In its appear-
ance, Williamsburg reflected Eng-
land in miniature.
From its inception, Williamsburg
took its place as one of the most
important centers of culture and
commerce in the colonies. It kept
that pre-eminence for 80 years until
the seat of Virginia’s government

among the drugs used for the re-
moval of internal parasites from
farm animals. It may be easily ad-
ministered to a group of pigs at one
time by incorporating the required
amount into almost any feed given
them.
When administered in the feed it
should be given at the rate of about
0.1 gram per pound of live weight,
or about 4 grams each pig weigh-
ing about 40 pounds. Phenothiazine
should be thoroughly mixed into the
grain, milk or other food. Pigs un-
der three months of age are sus-
ceptible to various toxic reactions
following treatment, so care should
be taken to prevent overdosing. Tn-
dividual doses of pellets, tabs, or
drench with a syringe, are also com-
monly used.
Tests have proven that pheno-
thiazine is also partially effective
against several other parasites of
livestock. The USDA have esti-
mated that this new drug is worth
more than 10 million dollars annual-
ly to the livestock industry in mak-
ing it possible to produce better
stock, free from worms.

Big yields from healthy vines.
Soybeans are a soil-building crop
and will bring about some improve-
ment in the soil when grown for
seed or forage in rotation with oth-
er crops, if the straw is plowed un-
der and returned to the soil as
manure.
They should not, however, be
planted in the same field two years
in a row if stem rot is to be avoid-
ed. The fungus that causes the dis-
ease is unknown. It is perhaps the
most serious disease that has yet
attacked the soybean. Like most new
crops, soybeans have been relative-
ly free from disease.
As a worm-infested pig will re-
quire one-fifth more feed to reach
the same weight as an uninfested
one, any program that will do
away with this enemy will result
in financial gains.
Phenothiazine, a synthetic coal-
tar chemical, has won first place
as the Tidewater, was the first set-
tled. The colonists planted tobac-
co there and watched its green
leaves turn to gold. Cornfields were
resplendent in the sun, and gar-
dens gave generously of food for the
table. The Tidewater consists of
low-lying lands intersected by nu-
merous tidal estuaries and rivers.
The central part of the state is
known as the Piedmont, which rises
to the Blue Ridge mountains. The
Piedmont is noted for thoroughbred
horses, and is the fox-hunting and

In ancient times bells were tied
to sheep; it was believed that the
sheep grew fat on the sound of the
bells.
Modern science has discovered
that the glands of sheep weigh from
two to four grams. The iodine con-
tent is from 0.2 to 0.3 per cent. This
small amount is often the difference
between health and sickness, profit
and loss or success or failure.
The U. S. army found that sheep-
skin is the warmest of all furs. They
can now be made to look like ex-
pensive furs, similar to beavers, to
retail at about $150—less than one
fourth the cost of genuine beaver.
Time to Plan for Next
Year’s Sweet Potato Crop
If planning to grow sweet pota-
toes, now is the time to purchase
certified seed stock. If old bed is to
be utilized, it should be renewed
as soon as the frost has left the soil
To secure the best returns, use
hotbeds to start the plants. More
sweet potato plants can be obtained
per bushel of seed bedded when elec
trie or fire-heated beds are used
As manure is a source of disease

WASHINGTON. — Some people
are wondering whether the fact-
finding board for the meat packing
industry took the trouble to read the
newspapers. If so, they might not
have recommended that the house-
wife bear the main burden of the
cost of increased wages in the meat
packing industry.
The fact-finding board, which in-
cluded Dr. Edwin E. Witte of Wis-
consin university, Chief Justice
Raymond W. Starr of the Michigan
Supreme court, and Clark Kerr,
former chairman of the meat pack-
ing branch of the war labor board
—three able men—decided that a
16-cent pay increase was fair and
equitable for meat packing work-
ers. But they added that only five
cents of this was “absorbable by
the meat industry without price or
subsidy relief.”
In other words, the fact finders
recommended that the big meat
packers could pay only 5 cents of
the 16-cent wage increase out of
their own pockets. The rest would
have to be passed on to the consum-
er or the government. Their report
was filed February 7.
However, early in December,
long before the fact-finding
board was appointed, a number
of smaller meat packing plants
had already signed contracts
with the CIO and AFL for 15
cents an hour pay increase with-
out any strings attached re-
garding increased meat prices.
The small packers who signed
such agreements included Hygrade
Food Products of New York,
George A. Hormel of Austin, Minn.,
and others in the Chicago area.
Apparently, the fact finders
did not take this into considera-
tion. Apparently also, they ig-
nored the fact that Swift and
company previously had agreed
to a pay boost of 10 cents an
hour without any strings at-
tached regarding increased
meat prices to the housewife.
For, despite Swift’s offer of 10
cents an hour and the smaller com-
panies’ increase of 15 cents, the fact
finders recommended that only
5 cents of the 16-cent increase could
be paid for by meat packers. The
remaining 11 cents will be passed
on to the housewife—unless the gov-
ernment votes a subsidy.
BREAD WASTE SCANDAL.
Department of agriculture sleuths
have been doing some quiet check-,
ing of unscrupulous bakeries which
violate bread sales regulations in
order to kill off competition.
Despite the fact that the nation
has been forced on a “dark bread”
diet to help feed war-starved peo-
ples of the world, thousands of
loaves of good bread are still go-
ing to waste, or being fed to hogs
nd chickens.
It works like this:
If a big bakery is trying to grab
business away from a competing
bakery, it will begin supplying gro-
cery stores on a “consignment
basis,” which means that grocers’
shelves are loaded up with supplies
of bread in excess of what they can
sell.
The following day—sometimes the
same day—drivers pick up the un-
sold loaves and replace them with
fresh stock, charging the grocer
only for the bread actually sold.
Idea is to promote sales of a particu-
lar brand of bread because of its
“freshness.”
This is a violation of war food
order No. 1, but it hasn’t stopped
certain bakeries in Houston, Texas,

Louis from carrying on the prac-
tice on a huge scale.
Instead of making their re-
turned stocks of one-day-old
bread available at a reduced
price to poor families, the
loaves frequently wind up in
garbage bins. One Texas farm-
* er who tipped off the depart-
ment of agriculture about condi-
tions in Houston said he had
been buying wagon-loads of
bread “fresh enough to eat” to
feed his hogs and chickens.
ATOM VS. BATTLESHIP
Unless President Truman does
something drastic about it very
soon, the forthcoming atomic tests
in the Pacific, scientists say, may
turn out to be a study in water-
spouts instead of atomic energy.
On-the-surface atomic-bomb
explosions, the scientists claim,
will add nothing to the knowl-
edge already accumulated from
previous explosions at New
Mexico, Hiroshima and Naga-
saki, except that we may learn
the size and damage of the
world’s largest water spout.
Administration lobbying to con-
firm Ed Pauley has reached white-
hot pitch. Gov. Mon Wallgren of
Washington was brought east to put
the heat on Senators Magnuson and
Hugh Mitchell, the latter having
been Wallgren’s secretary. Both
will now vote for Pauley. . . in
some states, where the November
race will be close, a vote for Pauley
may mean defeat for a Democrat.

Merry-Go-Rounds have evolved the
latest Washington wisecrack: “Tru-
man is suffering from Pendergastric
ulcers!”

\X/ITH traditional leisure, charm
YV and graciousness, Virginia
proudly upholds its titles of “Old
Dominion,” “Cradle of a Nation,”
and “Birthplace of Presidents.”
Rich in historical associations, the
romance of Virginia is interwoven in
warp and woof of a nation, its tra-
ditions and lore deep in the fibre of
its people.
A part of old England was trans-
planted across the wide Atlantic, its
laws and standards set up in a rich,
new land. Through hardships, wars
and trials, those principles took on
new growth, the virgin soil added
new strength and new meaning.
They blossomed in George Wash-
ington’s wisdom and talent, in the
magic of Thomas Jefferson’s pen,
in the rousing voice of Patrick Hen-
ry, and in the genius and under-
standing of Robert E. Lee.
At Jamestown, the first perma-
nent English settlement in America
was made in 1607. At Yorktown in
1781 the American Revolution end-
ed with the surrender of Cornwallis
and the British army. Williams-
burg, settled in 1632, is said to be
the oldest incorporated town in
America, and was the capital of
Virginia from 1699 to 1760. The
Commonwealth was the scene of
many campaigns in the Civil war
which closed with the surrender of
Lee’s army, April, 1865, at Appomat-
tox court house near Lynchburg.
The Commonwealth of Virginia
was named for Elizabeth, England’s
virgin queen. “Heaven and earth
never agreed better to frame a place
for a man’s habitation,” Capt. John
Smith declared. It was he who
claimed this new land for his queen.
Virginia’s territory once included
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia. When Charles II was
crowned he wore a robe of Virginia
silk, and had engraved on coins that
the English kingdom should consist
of “England, Scotland, Ireland and
Virginia.”
Virginia has been the birthplace
of eight Presidents, including Har-
rison, Taylor and Wilson, who were
elected from other states. George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison, James Monroe and
John Tyler were residents of Vir-
ginia when they took office. The
names of other Virginians, howev-
er, sprinkle the pages of history,
literature, art and science. Includ-.
ed among them are Princess Poca-
hontas, George Rogers Clark, Meri-
wether Lewis, John Randolph, John
Marshall, Stonewall Jackson, Hen-
ry Clay. But the. list of Virginia’s
great is too long to name here!

varied one. The coastal plain, known

It may be caused by disorder of kid-
ney function that permits poisonous
waste to accumulate. For truly many
people feel tired, weak and miserable
when the kidneys fail to remove excess
acids and other waste matter from the
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness,
getting up nights, leg pains, swelling.
Sometimes frequent ana scanty urina-
tion with smarting and burning is an-
other sign that something is wrong with
the kidneys or bladder.

horse-racing country which perpet-
uates the sporting tradition of Old
Virginia. It was Lord Fairfax who
introduced fox-hunting to Virginia.
Between the Blue Ridge and the
Alleghenies lies the Shenandoah val-
ley, once known as the “granary
of the Confederacy.” Its climate
is varied, and so are its crops. It
presents a picture of wooded moun-
tain slopes, well-kept farms and cat-
tle, fields of corn and wheat, and
fruit-laden trees.
Shenandoah valley, unlike the
Tidewater and Piedmont, was not
settled by English colonists, but by
sturdy Germans from Pennsylvania
and pioneering Scotch-Irish. They
knew the long rifle, the coonskin
cap, the log cabin and all the ad-
ventures of the frontier.
It was the northern part of Shen-
andoah valley that felt the ravages
of war, not only in colonial days
but later when there was war be-
tween the states. Few scars remain,
for the luxuriant grass and hon-
eysuckle vines have erased the
physical wounds. Hundreds of
markers along the highways alone
remain to remind the traveler of the
terrors and hardships of another
day.
Virginia molded its men into a
pattern, whether they lived in the

Tidewater, the Piedmont or the val-
ley. Theirs was a government
founded upon a constitution that
guaranteed individual liberty. They
defended their beliefs; they fought
for their rights. The Tobacco rebel-
lion of 1676 antedated the Boston
Tea party by a century! “Give me
liberty or give me death,” spoken by
Patrick Henry, was the clarion call
to independence, and Thomas Jef-
ferson set down on paper our Amer-
ican bill of rights.
After the close of the Revolution-
ary war, the great westward move-
ment came as men sought even new-
er lands. There were hundreds of
Virginians among them, in wide-
tented wagons, dragged by horses
and oxen. Three great gateways
opened from Virginia to the fron-
tier. To the northeast was the chan-
nel of the Potomac river, the gate-
way known to Washington. In the
center was the gateway of Buffalo
Gap and Goshen Pass. The third
was Cumberland Gap, known to
Daniel Boone, and opening the tow-
ering Cumberland mountains to
Kentucky.
While there were Virginians on
every frontier, ready to pioneer and
build America, most of the old’ stock
remained close to their native soil.
The Commonwealth of Virginia has
never stopped building. Its soil has
always been productive. Its mines
and factories yield their wealth.
Agriculture is constantly expand-
ing. Corn and tobacco and garden
truck are still grown in eastern Vir-
ginia. Cotton is raised along the
southern border, and peanuts are a
valuable crop. Smithfield hams,
from hogs fattened on peanuts, are

scale in the Southwest.
Virginia produces bituminous coal
and limestone as well as cement,
clay, feldspar, gypsum, lead, man-
ganese, mica, pyrite, salt, sand,
slate, soapstone, zinc — and even
gold!
Richmond is the largest cigarette-
making center in the world. At
Hopewell and elsewhere are chem-
ical plants. Furniture-making, lum-
bering and cotton textile manufac-
turing are also extensive. At New-
port News is one of the largest ship-

But leisure and good living, more
than creating great fortunes, are the
traditions of Virginia. Its people
know the ocean front, Chesapeake
bay and the rivers. There are hun-
dreds of miles of beaches for bath-
ing. Fishing in the bay and rivers
is good. Channel bass fishing is
fine! Virginians know the trout,

and many others.
