few days taking care of some types of special cases Meanwhile Nelson Parker attornev for Mr Lindsey said he planned to apply for a sjiecial permit for the store in view of the fact that it was open

Democratic primary of August 6 Mr Moore a member of the House of Delegates will oppose Thomas Stanley of Henry County for the Fifth District scat in Congress to be relinquished by Representative Thomas Burch Until Mr decision to enter the contest Mr Stanley had appeared likely to get the nomination without a primary race In announcing his candidacy Moore said he had been approached by close friends in many parts of the district who urged that he make a contest of the primary Mr Moore was a member of the House of Delegates at the special "war voters" session of the General Assembly and of the 1946 session Mr Stanley announced his candidacy for the nomination immediately following the decision of Representative Burch not to seek renomination Lirdsey owner cf the large Lindsey Brothers Market at 2523 Chamberlayne Ave said last night it appears he will be forced to close his store as a result of an OPA regulation governing the slaughtering of cattle The regulation prohibits slaughtering of cattle by any firm which did not have a quota during specified base period during the war when Mr Lindsey's store was closed due he said to his inability to find workers In December of last year the market reopened when the manager John Moss was released from the Army The stre had been closed since May 1943 when Mr Moss was inducted Mr Lindsev said his business was running along smoothly with eight full-time employees including three war veterans until a few days ago when he was informed that he could not continue slaughtering beef because of the OPA ruling Since a large part of his business is the handling of meat the store cannot continue in operation unless he is permitted to slaughter he declared It is impossible to buy enough beef from other sources to keep his business going he added An OPA official here said last Whether Jfrrro County voters want a $2225 000 bond issue for construction of nine buildings to meet the needs of a growing school population will

Republican par-j at the next GOP State conven-j tion This was Mr Waitt' answer to a sharp attack made Friday bv Mr i Green against much Byrdism" I in Virginia GOP ranks and against Lester Parsons of Norfolk Republican nominee for the Senate Mr Green instigator of several efforts to declare vacant the seat 1 of the aged and ill Senator Carter Glass was stirred by the State GOP Committee's rejection of a resolution urging Senator Byrd to have the Senate unseat Senator Glass Called The Green attack on Mr Par-Jsons was characterized by Chairman Waitt as insult" to both the candidate and the party "I do not know what action other partv leaders will indorse but I intend at the very next State convention to propose that Mr Green be read out of the Republican he said "He is a pest and a troublemaker a lone dissenter who always objects to the will of the majority censure of Lester Parsons is based on a resolution he offered last week in Richmond which received one lone vote The resolution was designed to defame an ill public servant who is unable to defend himself The present position of Senator Glass is one which must be settled in the halls of Congress and not by the Republican party "Mr statement does not now nor has it ever reflected the views of the officers or members of the Republican party" -tlill West Enders Were Told This Is Worse Than Other Areas in City

Porterfield director Department of Health: "As I mentioned to you sometime ago there have been numerous complaints from the 3900 block of West Grace St with reference to the handling of garbage and trash which has caused the appearance of rats in the neighborhood The trouble is that if some of the property owners were forced to clean up the vacant lots in the block which are now used to put trash and garbage and are grown up in weeds: this situation will be greatly The former Councilman asked that the matter be investigated by the Health Department and recommendations made In reply Captain said Mr letter was turned over to him for investigation Chief item of the letter was this: "The area referred to is no worse than hundreds of other areas in the city and inasmuch as the law governing these conditions specifically states that there must be no discrimination we must report that it seems unreasonable from a public health viewpoint to f'irther improve conditions which are already reasonably satisfactory "If wc can be of further service please let us know" Mr McMinn attempted to do a bit of cleaning up as did some of his neighbors because the 3900 block faces many vacant lots One man succeeded in catching 20 rats and Mr McMinn finally obtained permission from the' City Fire Department to burn out debris from the vacant tot on which he has to gaze if he sits on his front porch But a tour personally conducted by Mr Minn revealed vacant lots and alleys scattered with huge mounds of brush recently cut from trees nowhere In the neighborhood piles of freshly dug earth brought there obviously from excavations elsewhere and countless stacks of garbage Ohe thoughtful person had wrapped his empty tin can bread paper and bacon rinds in daily papers of March 3 and

PAINT Sficciati In Celebration of Our the request of certain of our party leaders who wished to study the matter further "It is with the utmost reluctance that I must advise you I cannot make the race for 'Congress this Fall I make this statement reluctantly because I believe the paramount need in Virginia today is a strong two-party system of government vigorous and vocal minority "The interests of the State demand that all citizens who are capable of putting the interests of the State above selfish party interests Join hands toward accomplishing that end for no other reason than this I would gladly make this race if my circumstances per mitted However in 1944 I ran for Congress from this district and did my utmost to fairly present the issues of the campaign to our people In this race I was defeated In 1945 I ran for the House of Delegates from Smyth County and was elected serving two months in the General Assembly "As yotf can readily see- these campaigns have taken a vast amount of my time Because of this my private affairs have been permitted to suffer in fairness to my family and myself I must decline the nomination offered me at the Bristol convention of February 16 Although 1 deeply appreciate the action of the convention I know my declining this nomination will )e accepted in the spirit in which it is offered New Convention Set "I want you to understand I appreciate the action of the convention but I do wish to make my position clear to the members of my party in this district Had I made any plans or arrangements to run 1 would willingly accept but in tle absence of such plans it is impassible To the contrary I have made business plans extending through the entire year "You may rest assured 1 will never relax my Interest in nor zeal for the Republican party but 1 feel I can better serve at present by doing my utmost in the Legislature of Virginia to correct some of our vicious and corrupt election laws to the end that we can utimately build a strong two-party system in our State" The committee adopted a resolution of regret and instructed Chairman Wood to arrange for another convention to be held at Abingdon July 20 to nominate another candidate alley Barns Have Hex-Marks Continued From First Page known in this area and some local residents report having seen them recently in Valley Amish settlements They are ersatz windows painted on the windowless sides of barns calculated to cause the death or at least the serious injury of any witches who attempt to fly through them Witches are invisible as anyone who has ever Men one will tell you so it is highly possible that the ground below these devices can be at any moment littered with the bruised and indignant creatures nursing cracked heads No local hex-mark owners would comment on this possibility although they all it on strictly logical grounds A third development of the idea is the "hexafoos" or witch's foot a throe-pointed or three-toed mark painted on stalls or window-frames supposedly to convince any transient witch that' one of her kind has already been there done the dirty work and passed on No Valley would stop to where the task was finished so why would a witch? Use Dying Out Use of this mark on stalls and windows appears to have almost died out here although it is still! reported in Pennsylvania A six- pointed figure or "double appeared in one of the circular hex-marks photographed however The conclusion reached by one Scotch Presbyterian farmer whose barn doors bore hex-marks as big as any Dutchman's appears to be as good as any was on there when I bought the he said I think it looks right nice so I kept it believe in any he added chewing thoughtfully "but what can I Takes No Stand Only the River Road Civic Association has taken no stand on the matter Trimble president said yesterday that he personally opposed the bond issue as Iteing "very inopportune" at this time but declined to speak for individual members Friday a pew organization of undisclosed membership strength and names appeared on the scene through a paid newspaper advertisement Calling itself the Henrico Protective Association the organization is openly opposing the proposed bond issue School Superintendent Holsingcr challenged the protective association to come out into the open from the anonymous paid advertisement and state its purpose officers and financial source The proposed school construction program to be started when materials are available provides for new high schools at Highland Springs costing an estimated S5UOUOO and equipped with 525-OOO worth of supplies to house 1150 students by 1950 compared with 600 served today a joint high school on Woodman Road Fite to cost 5500000 and equipped with 525000 worth of supplies to house 1000 compared with 564 attending high schools Bmokland and Tuekahoe districts todav Varina intermediate costing 5285000 and $5000 in Buy Genuine DIAMOND Sava Up to 50 We have a nice selection of diamonds unredeemed pledges remounted in the newest -style settings Comparison proves our statement an unredeemed diamond from and save up to one-half1 616 East Broad 5treet liMIliitf 1117 rj-jlVCBSABV ASBESTOS SIDING BRICK SIDING ROOFING Flistkots material recommended Free Estimates £ASY FHA TERMS MOHAWK NOME IMPROVEMENT CO 4th A Everett Street Dial 5-1278 and Annual Sprinff IPaunt Sailie DUCO One-Coat Magic for Furniture Refrigerators Cabinets Automobiles etc Dries auickly to a tile-like finish Leaves no brush marks and washes like a china dish Only 95c Pt Who could ask for more DU PONT OUTSIDE WHITE HOUSE PAINT America finest outside contains lead zinc titanium and linseed oil Longest wear!
