Charlottesville Launches Annual
Tribune Subscription Contest

The annual Tribune subscription contest
was launched in Charlottesville this week.
The field was ripe and sentiment was run
ming high for the annual battle which
takes precedent over everything else about
this time each year. Practically all of the
Charlottesville and vicinity subscriptions
expired in August and the readers were
getting nervous for fear their paper would
be discontinued.
When the drive was launched Monday,
number of Charlottesvlle's most influen-
tial and active community workers were
ready to enter this hard but friendly con-
test.
Mrs Virginia Monroe, Ala Tenth Street,
NV, veteran Of last years contest is
still smarting over trailing to second place
under Mrs. Beatrice Fowlkes who walked
away with first prize. Mrs. Monroe will
definitely be satisfied with nothing less
than first prize this year. All who know
her, know her to be a go-getter.
The following four are newcomers into
the game: Mrs. Cora Anderson, of 1926
Fourth st. NV. is one of Charlottesville IS
most influential business ladies'. She OPP
crates IAN employment bureau. AS a side
issue she also does insurance work. Few
people if any, in Charlottesville, have a
more extensive contact in and about the
city than Mrs. Anderson has. She enters
the race realizing that there are some
hard opponents in the field against her,
but she says, "they can be beaten" Any
person who is ready and willing to meet
real challenge deserves watching.
Mrs. Juanita Banks-Bowles, TIA Concord
Ave-, one of the substitute teachers in the
city and county, has battery of relatives
and friends almost unequaled. She is draft
ing her relatives and friends, including
her minister, to come to her aid in this
fight. She admits she is new at the game

Facts and Figures
OF Good Will
BY A WHITE SOUTHERNER

The new green diesel BUSES which the
city of Charlottesville recently purchased
were made in Georgia Painted on them
at the factory in bold letters was the typi-
cally Georgian notice:
WHITE people will seat from the front
of the car toward the rear: COLORED
people from the rear toward the 'front.'
While segregation has been observed in
a general way, signs have never before
been used in our city transportation
Therefore these were like slap in the
face. Negroes entering the new buses
WINGED, and then burned.
But they never suspected that old resi-
dents Of the white community WINGED and
burned, too. Whites referred to the signs
os Outrageous" "disgraceful," "offen-
sive." IF the bus company doesn't want to
take the trouble to paint them out" one
white man said, ''tell them to hang a pic
ture of Thomas Jefferson over them"
The final result of all this white heat
was a petition signed with the names and
addresses of people from nearly every
part of town, the idea being to show the
bus company that citizens throughout OBJ
jected to the signs.
One signature each was collected from
East Market Street, East Jefferson Street
East High Street, Male Street, 18th Street,
Lexington Avenue, Dawson's Row, Gamer
on Lane, Gordon Avenue, Lewis Mountain
Road, Thomson Road, University Avenue,

"turns the school system into spying project"

which New York's anti-communism teacher law

the barring of enemies of the nation from doing as

knows that Communists and all like liberals raise

ton of being called to religious state 1t leaves
the impression that only those who enter religion
have had call from God, that they are the only
ones who have answered call.
There is no disputing that the religious life is
the highest of all vacations but that does not mean
that the other states of life not yocations. The
fact that person is not going to enter the religious
life does not mean that the choice of career or
state of life is something that is divorced in every
way from God and His influence.
young person who feels himself drawn to the
religious state is cautioned to pray long and hard
and to think seriously of his intention He or she
needs and indeed must receive the advise of pru-
dent counselor who can interpret the ideals and as
pirations and the fitness of the candidate three
criteria of true calD to determine if call has
come from God
There is no reason to believe that any young
person, no matter what state they feel called to,
needs any less counselling or needs to spend less
time in thoughtful prayer thai does the candidate
for the religious life.

so that she, as woman, could
be in the forefront in advocating
permanent compulsory military
training. Full-page advertise
ments were taken in large news
papers and sprung" on the pub
lie at critical times, like the eve
of TIE balloting in the House.
You can be sure, too, that men,
bers of the House were button
holed" in the halls of the Capitol,
not only TO vote against the UNIT
but also to vote for it.
All of this is to say that your
Representative in Congress had
a very hard time of it. IL he has
voted against UNIT, and sent the
bill back to committee, he prob
ably will be in for more rough
handling. So may be those who
voted in favor of UNIT.
In any event, your represent
ative in the House of Representa-
tives was far from craven" as
some Incorporate advocates of
UNIT would have you believe. To
have tackled this Issue head on
in an election year-and all of
the House is elected this year
put everyone on the spot. Many
Representatives had a very pain
full time making up their minds.
From all they went through, it
would seem only fair to say for
them that by and large they
must have voted as they thought
their constituents wanted them
to vote, or, if they went against
their constituents, as they we're
convinced was right.
Your Congressman has a very
difficult job. He has only a two
year contract. and sometimes
you don't renew it.
