Richmond, Virginia—“down where the South begins”—captures the approval of its many visitors because it has managed to retain the quiet charm of its historic past while becoming an . important industrial city.

More than 39,000 people are em ployed in manufacturing, the lead ing economic activity. Richmond is known as the Tobacco Capital of the world, with annual output of 111 billion cigarettes. Placed end to end, the cigarettes manu factured in Richmond each year would reach to the moon and back 11 times, or encircle the earth 200 times. Showplace highlights in Rich mond include the State Capitol, de signed by Thomas Jefferson, which includes the priceless Houdon statue of George Washington; St. John’s Church, where Patrick Hen ry delivered his immortal “liber ty or death” oration; Confederate Museum, formerly the White House of the Confederacy, location of the world's largest collection of Confederate War relics; John Marshall House, home of Ameri ca’s greatest Chief Justice; Gen eral Robert E.

The tower is 240 feet high and contains 66 bells; and Hollywood Cemetery, resting place of many illustrous persons, including two Presidents of the United States (Monroe and Tyler), Jefferson Davis, and others. MOVING DAY FOR HELEN By Edward Earl Lee T HE office bell disrupted or dered routine into a rushed confusion immediately following its jangling reverberation, as the employees prepared to leave. But Jerome Clayton remained seated, morosely. Yesterday, he had been a participant in that scene. To day— well, no use hurrying home to a bare two-room apartment. Be cause, Helen would have taken the furniture. She had bought it with installments from her sal ary. The janitor’s noise, ^s he emp- ’ tied waste paper baskets, roused Clayton from his reverie and so he left But outside Clayton halted, uncertain where to go—what to do. Well, there was no use hang ing around the office building. He lit a cigarette from the lighter and then strolled aimlessly along, with unpleasant thoughts accom panying him. So, after a year, his marriage was over. Helen should have known Grace meant nothing to him. He had tried to discourage Grace in every way short of bluntly saying he was not interested. However, Helen had thought otherwise and thereby decided to show her hus band that other men found her de- airabel. Therefore, she started act ing up to handsome, debonaire Charlie “Good Time’’ Locklear. And, for good measure, she ex tolled his virtues in her daily con versations. Exasperated eventually Clayton had told Helen that if she ad mired Locklear so much, why didn’t she marry him? And. Clay ton would never miss Helen . . . with Grace available. A stormy quarrel followed, terminating in Helen’s declaration she would move out tomorrow—which now was today, Friday. Clayton’s thoughts were rudely Jerked back to the present by sounds of schreeching brakes and the vitrolic tirade of a truck driv er. He was starting to cross a street, against the red light. Grin ning sheepishly he glanced at the street to determine his location, then stared surprisedly. He was but one block away from home! His subconscious mind had direct ed hi? footsteps in the route he habitually followed when returning from work. Clayton slowly turned the cor ner. Suddenly his mouth felt dry; his throat, constricted, and, there was a sickening void where his stomach should harve been. Heavy weights seemed attached to his feet as he shambled on unwilling ly, yet unable to stop. He rec ognized pieces of the furniture which were loaded on the van. As he reached the doorsteps one of the men went into the. house. The other one said to Clayton: “Gotta match, pal?’’ “No. But will a cigarette lighter do?’’ “Okay. Thanks,’’ The man accepted that instru ment and began the somewhat difficult task of endeavoring to light his pipe with the lighter. “Beats all,” he grumbled be tween pqffs, “how much extra work some people can cause. Take this customer for instance. We get her stuff all packed, drives her to our warehouses where she’s arranged to have the^e things stored, and what happens? Says she’s changed her mind and wants it all hauled back.” “What!” exclaimed Jerry. “Yeah,” the drayman continued, “I was surprised, myself. But I think she must be all shook up. Because when we get back here, she bursts out crying and runs up the steps . . .” The man suddenly removed his pipe from between slack lips. He scratched the lobe of one ear with its stem. A bewildered expression was stamped upon his face as he said to himself: * “Now I wonder what made that guy forget his lighter an go tear ing up those steps hke that!” Planting Time For Tobacco (By COUNTY AGENTS) Aromatic Tobacco Now is the time for those farm ers who plan to plant aromatic tobacco to start their plant bed. The best location for a plant bed is on a southern slope in the edge of the woods. A southern slope, so that the bed will have good drain age and have the advantage of more sunshine. Plant beds are lo cated in the edge of woods be cause usually there are less weeds and grasses. The plant bed should be ferti lized with about 150-200 lbs. of to bacco plant bed fertilizer. The size of these beds should be 9 ft. by 100 feet. The seeds are furnished by the Southeastern Aromatic Tobacco Company and are available at the County Agents office. Palmetto Grape Marketing Association Anyone now growing grapes, or anyone who would like to grow grapes should consider joining the Palmetto Grape Marketing Asso ciation. This association is a cooperative which will guarantee its members a market for 12 years at a mini mum price of $75 per ton and the price normally can be expected to be above this minimum, once the association has its acreage signed up. Approximately 2,000 acres is needed to produce the tonnage of grapes to operate the size plant the cooperative plans to build. The plant will belong to the members. The producer joins by purchas ing stock in the value of $50 for each acre of grapes grown, exe cutes a marketing agreement with the association; and markets their grapes through the association. Only 20 percent of the total pay ment, based on the acreage you sign up, is due by March 1, 1959. The balance will be due between now and January 1960. Once the acreage needed is reached, no one else may join, because the plant will not be able to use the grapes. If you are interested, contact the County Agents office. More de tails and agreement forms are available. March 1st is the dead line for joining now.

Cities to See Louisville-BEuegrass Metropolis Downtown Louisville, Kentucky Louisville, Kentucky, metropolis of the colorful Bluegrass State, is blessed with a rare blend of tradition and progress. Standing by the Ohio River as the “open door to Dixie,” the sprawling city of more than 400,000 population combines the charm and graciousness of the old South with the hustle and bustle of the industrial North. In May of each year, all eyes turn to Louisville and Churchill Da owns for the famed Kentucky Derby, the “run for the roses” in which the nation’s most famous thoroughbreds participate in the oldest racing classic of its kind in America. Louisville is an appro priate setting for this event. Only a few miles away are many of the world’s most famous thoroughbred stock farms with bluegrass pas tures and clean white fences. On one of them is the monument to the great horse, Man O’ War Traditional The story of Louisville includes much of the things most frequently associated with Kentucky—the tra ditional thoroughbreds, beautiful ladies, fine bourbon whiskey, and the puff of homegrown tobacco. Robert Cavalier, Marquis de La Salle, first saw the present site of Louisville around 1670. The city was founded in 1778 by General George Rogers Clark, who halted at the Falls of the Ohio with 150 raw militia bound for the conquest of British posts in the Illinois country. The city charter was granted in 1779 by the Virginia legislature when Kentucky was a part of that state. Famous Spots Clark spent his last years in the Louisville country His remains rest in Cave Hill Cemetery, a botanical, garden-like cemetery, regarded as one of the nation’s most beautiful. At the edge of the city is the tomb of Zachary Taylor, twelfth president of the United States. It is located on the grounds of his former homestead, which still stands today. It was in this home that Taylor’s daughter was married to Jefferson Davis, the only president of the Confederacy, who was a Kentuckian. Center of Activity In the days when river traffic was the vogue. Louisville's posi tion on the Ohio River gave it prominence. During the railroad era (particularly during the Civil War) it became known as “The Gateway City” because its facili ties were used generously in trans porting men and equipment. Pride of Louisville is the new Kentucky Fair & Exoosition Cen ter, which has over 400.000 square feet of exhibit space and a coli seum second in seating capacity in the U.S Education ImporlarJ To Any Vocalfon BUT X WANT TO BE A CHEMIST I INSIST YOU BECOME A DOCTOR... “I am about to enter the state university,” a 17-year-old says. “I want to be a chemist, my Father continues to insist that I become a doctor. I don’t think we’ll ever agree, so I don’t think I’ll go to college at all. Am I right?” You are wrong. Go on to school. The disagreement doesn’t concern your going to college—only the type of location that you will prepare your self for while you are there. Simply staying away from college doesn’t solve the problem at hand. It’s just an effort fo ignore it. Problems are the etonea that we continually find in the garden of life. When we strike one of these stones as we plow along, we must pick it up and do something with it. We must do something with it be cause turning our back on it will not make it disappear; it is always there, retarding growth and acting as a stumbling block until we get it out of the way. The history of diffetences be tween father and son regarding a vocation may be a long one. The older the difference, the more difi- cult a friendly solution. But, un less one party is unreasonable, there is a solution. Someone, of course, is going to have to “give-in.” But, this giving in can be a victory rather than a defeat if it is based on understand ing and recognition of the fact that the path agreed on is the right path to a happy and fruitful life. Chances are, the father in this sit uation is himself a doctor. Yet the mere fact that medicine has been a good and fruitful life for him is no guarantee that his son will be happy — as successful — in the same pro fession. It is a problem, indeed, that our young friend has brought to atten tion. But it is not a new or im possible situation. That’s why we say, go to your father, man to man, and work for an agreement . . . but begin your college educa tion in the meanwhile.
