merchants, stated that all but four of the 64 businesses from Lewis St. to Market St had signed a petition asked that parking be restored on both sides. He said these merchants felt that the parking ban had been given a "fair trial" and that they were requesting that it be "rescinded immediately." Various merchants urged the same thing, most of them on the grounds that they are incurring serious losses in business due to the limited parking on Beverley. Two merchants who had previous ly supported the ban acknowledg ed they had been for the ban before, but added that it had failed and that they now want it lifted. Albert R.

Snyder said he had favored the ban on a trial basis, but contended that no more proof of its failure is needed. He re ported that pedestrian traffic along Beverley has decreased so much that he no longer keeps his lights on during closing hours "There is no one walking: why should we burn out lights?" he asked. He said he knows of one specific $49.93 sals he lost due to complications the ban causes in the delivery of merchandise He also quoted a woman as say ing she went to Waynesboro and bought two pairs of shoes be cause she was unable to park on Beverley St. "Soon we will not need any parking lots be cause our customers will go out of town," he asserted. Stuart Dunsmore also said he had favored the ban on a trial basis.

"But I believe it has now been given a fair trial and I would like for it to be changed." He said the traffic that comes down Beverley St. is shoppers, that traffic going through the city will turn before getting to the heart of the shopping area. Loss of Trade More than a dozen other businessmen spoke against the park ing restriction, the main argument being loss of business since the ban was applied. Although restoring parking to both sides of Beverley St. was the tenor of the meeting, several other traffic suggestions emerged Stanley G.

Cline recommendedi that eliminating the left turn off Lewis St. going south should eliminate the bottleneck at Lewis and Beverley. He said this would be some handicap to his busi ness in getting trucks in and out but he would be willing to bear it if parking is restored on the north side of Beverley. Mrs. Page M.

Kable suggested that if Beverley St. were made one-wav between Market and Coalter a bottleneck at Bev erley St. and Market St. could be eliminated. As it is the traffic proceeding down Gospel Hill can not enter Beverley, and it causes a jam in turning onto Market, she observed.

This would also mean additional parking space on Gospel Hill, she pointed out, R. Wallace Rosen pointed out that one-way traffic on New St makes the new parkins lot al most inaccessible to traffic on Beverley. Discussion was predominantly for restoring parking on the north side of Beverley. However, wbrds of caution were offered by Rich ard O. Obenschain, Chamber of Commerce president, Walter Dix on and Cecil T.

Richardson. Mr. Dixon pointed out that a traffic study costing $12,000 had in part resulted in removing park ing from the north side of Beverley. He said such surveys are based on "cold facts." Similar precautions were offered by Mr. Obenschain and Mr.

Richardson. Choir Festival At A.C.T.S. on Friday A choir festival is to be held at Augusta County Training School at 8 p. m. Friday, April 28, sponsored by tne rareni-Teacher Association.

Master of ceremonies is to be James Rhodes. probably be solved if machinery dealers operated a rotating sche dule of parts men one hour later each day than usual. "I can't see much disadvantage to fast time in my operation," he added. Is It Legal? Mr.

Lockridge said he question ed the matter of liability to the county if Daylight Saving Time is initiated. "This matter has never been settled in my mind and there is no legislative authority for us go on he said. "I've tried to get an opinion from the state's Attorney General, but this request has never been made and I ve not received an answer." Commonwealth's Attorney Phil ip L. Lotz agreed with Mr. Lockridge that there is no legislative authority for any locality to go on Daylight Saving Time.

"We could not force anyone to go on DST and we could not provide any penalty or put anyone in jail for not going on it," he said. Mr. Lotz said the state code has no definite time provisions for county offices to remain open, except at convenient hours for the public. "I don't see why the county couldn't stay on Eastern Standard Time and still let the public schools and offices open an hour earlier," commented Mr. Lockridge.

"If tho schools started an hour earlier, then the factory workers and their children would all be leaving home at the same time," he said. "I don't see how. the county can work on two times without messing up everything," added Mr. Showker. "We've got to be all together on this thing.

There are still many people in the county who work in town. It would definitely work a hardship on these people. Eastern Standard Time would suit me better, but I'm only one," he continued. "I probably would have to work longer in the store ad time doesn't make any dif ference in getting my farm work done. It's best we get on a uni form time," he said.

Mr. Showker suggested that the Board not take any action at this time on an early cut-off date, but wait and try to reach an agree ment with the two cities on this matter. This he included in his motion to adopt fast time. "I am certainly opposed to running fast time through Octo ber," added Chairman Payne, "I'm in favor of getting it termi nated on Labor Day and certainly not later than the first of Octo ber," he said. Favors State Order "We still will have confusion, whether we do or whether we don't," commented Mr.

Burtner. "If a decision could come from the state level it would be better. "With 2,000 signatures out of a population of 37,000, part of which I realize are children and teen agers, percentage wise, I ques tion how well this represents the total population of the county," Mr. Burtner remarked. "Very few of those opposed have bothered to sign a petition against a time change," added Mr.

Payne, and this is all we have to go by. Those opposed had just as much right to indicate their opposition as those who de sired the change." Mr. Burtner said that in his district, "more people want standard i nobody wants Daylight Saving Time and a few want a uniform time." Mr. Rubush said the situation has changed entirely in his district since the last stand by the Board on the time meas ure. Tne issue nas cnangea to one time instead of Daylight Sav ing Time.

There are not 50 per cent of the workers at Westing- house who want Daylight Saving Time. They now want one time and we are the ones who are ex pected to give in," he said. "It may have been a mistake for a division to jump the gun on this thing." declared Mr. Burt ner. "and I can't conceive of correcting one mistake by mak ing two." Mr.

Rubush said if DST is ap proved, "one class of the working people will go free and we farmers are the ones who will have it hard." Riverheads Stand Mr. McLaughlin said three- fourths of the people in River- heads District are in favor of Eastern Standard Time. "These are not only the farmers, but factory workers as well, he said. The Riverheads District repre sentative admitted that the "cooperation the cities and county has been fine," but that he did not like the idea of "being followers all the time." Mr. Payne then informed fellow members of the governing body that both Waynesboro and Staunton City Councils had conferred earlier on the matter and that the county Board had voiced no opposition at that meeting.

"I believe Staunton and Waynes boro went on Daylight Saving Time not to bulldoze us into any thing, but to keep good relations uciYtii la i i viiito. auuvu Mr, Showker. PORTSMOUTH went to get my handy-pandy." This was little Benita Black's casual explanation of how she happened to crawl under her mother's bed early Wednesday night. By the time the 5-year-old child crawled out more than five hours later Portsmouth's Park View section had been turned inside out by an army of frantic neighbors, police and servicemen more than 1,000 strong. Benita, by that time had found her stuffed toy panda and curled up beside it for a comfortable snooze.

The search started shortly after 7 p.m. when Mrs. Dorothy Black called her daughter to dinner. The child did not answer. The father Winton Black, went to search for her.

He found her tricycle about a block from her home but no sign of Benita. Black began inquiring among his neighbors, the word spread, and the hunt was on. By 9 p.m., the police were call ed and shortly afterward Mayor R. Irvine Smith and Police Chief H. P.

Crowe were on the scene organizing search teams. At 9:30 p.m., Mayor Smith called on the National Guard and the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard were asked for help. This brought out more than 700 volunteers from ships at the naval shipyard, the Marine Barracks, Shore Patrol, headquarters, and other stations. Civil Defense aux iliaries and Boy Scouts joined the hunt. Shortly before 2 a.m.

"Did you hear a little noise?" she asked others in the room. "I believe I did," replied her pastor, Dr. R. Clayton Pitts. "Let's look." And at that moment, Benita, finally aware of the commotion around her, crawled out.

Had anyone looked under the bed? "It was one of the first places I looked," Mrs. Black said today. "My husband, everybody looked. We had some suitcases under there and she must have been behind them." Center (Continued from Page One) the center's Council of Organiza tions. According to Tad Gaber.

The fire occurred in an ex tended area of where a similar fire occurred Tuesday. "With the extinguishing of the fire on Tuesday and the rain Tuesday night, it is hardly feasible that the original fire could have been rekindled," said Fire Chief Earl Shackleford. Only a small area was burned over, firemen reported. The ori gin of the fire was undetermined. No damage was reported.

Kennedy expressed the view that "no web of statute or regula tion" could hope to meet all pos sible challenges to a federal em ploye's integrity or his devotion to the public interest.

"The ultimate answer to ethi cal problems in government," Kennedy said, "is honest people in a good ethical environment, And, the President affirmed a confidence in the integrity and dedication of the vast bulk of gov ernment workers. "Venal conduct by public officials in this country has been comparatively rare," he said.
