Majority Rights

THE Prince Edward County Board of
Supervisors in a Resolution opposing
non-segregation Of schools expressed the
thinking of at least 95 per cent Of their
constituents The Board staI ed that it SIS
unalterably opposed to the operation of
non-segregated public schools in the Com
monwealth Of Virginia that it is not
only impracticable, but that it would be
impossible to operate ron-segregated
school system that. the Board intends to
use its power, authority and efforts to in
sure a continuation Of a segregated school
system it urges all the officials of the
Commonwealth to take such steps as may
be necessary to insure the continuation of
segregated school system in the Common
wealth of Virginia"
The Prince Edward Board Of SuperVis-
ors took this unanimous action after ma
tuTe consideration and no doubt ascertain
ing the sentiment of its constituents. 1t
represents the good Judgment. taken after
due study and consideration, and this board
will receive the support of the overWhelm
ing majority Of Prince Edward citizens.

Pen and the Sword

and to continue their campaign Of propa-
ganda, Asia for Asians." The propaganda
has an appeal, and we might we'll admit
that the white man is much disliked in
Asia.
In the meantime, the non-communlst
nations fail to cooperate in consolidating
their potential powers and defenses Ger
many remains divided into two govern
mental groups, and western Germany is
not allowed to become an autonomous
nation, because France would be afraid Of
strong Germany France will not Join the
European Defense Council 1t is about time
free nations forget their petty differences
and combine to protect themselves in event
of Communist attack.
Many Of these differences are the direct
result of Communist propaganda, and
certainly millions Of people are being neld
under Communist control through sheer
propaganda. Should free speech and free
dom to travel be granted those under the
Communist yoke, disintegration of Com
munist control would be rapid The prin-
cipal job in the world today is to suosti-
tute truth for propaganda. When this can
be done free nations will find more secur-
lty, and not until then.

THlE old adage the pen is mightier than
the sword, is proving it's truth in this
day. Propaganda is playing d majo role on
the national and international stages, and
at least on the international stage the
major powers hesitate to emBloy the sword.
Minor wars in Asia fought with cOnVen,
tionaI weapons by relatively small forces
risked on more or less civil war scale. but
the world looks askance at possibility and
probability Of the use of atomic weapons,
While the big nations growl, the other ma
tions lying across their paths tremble, at
the thought Of atomic war
This week in Inochina, the French and
the Communists have agreed to cease-tire

a big slice out of Victnam, controlling sew

Right now is a good time to do

gun all sightcd-in now and while
you're doing this youll spot any
necessary repairs or alterations
Use the same ammunition YOU in
tend to hunt with Then Just be-
fore you 60 hunting all YOU need
do is take a few confirming shots
for final adjustment.
When you're siehtng-in your
rifle, try to eet as steady a posi-
ton as possible to lessen the hu-
man error. This is an absolute
necessity in establishing a good

wise to use a sling when sighting

often heard and read that YOU
shouldn't hold your rifle against
the side of a tree or rest it on a
log when you're shooting at game.
I have never hcSitated to rest my
rifle against tree or over a log
if it helped me get off a well-aim-
ed shot at game within about 200
yards.
TO check my idea. I made a
little test with a light barrelcd
y l/4-pound 270 and a Model RIG
lever action chambered for the
1890 cartridge First. | sighted
both guns over a Sandbag rest
with the fore-end resting on the
sandbag, | then fired two 10-shot
groups for center impact while
resting the rifles snugly alongside
OF a tree. and while resting the
foreend over log These diff
ferent methods Of holding the
rifle made very little difference
in the center of impact and would
not have prevented me from plac-
ing well aimed bullet.
To top off test test I also rest

In this matter of non segregated
schools, it has been notable that the ma
jority of the people, both white and color
ed, are opposed to it. This was we'll point
ed up by the report of disinterested Times
Dispatch reporters who interviewed a cross
section of the petitioners. 1t matters little
that some of these youth were changed by
conferences with NAACP attorneys a few
days later The truth remains that even
a majority of petitioners favor their own
schools, where they can be taught by their
own teachers and conduct their own organ

Congressional
Viewpoint
Sen. John Marshall Butler

With the passing Of March 18th,
the topic Of official and general
conversation, quite naturally, has
been that of taxes. Each year, at
this time, the people of America
assume very direct obligation
and burden in the cost of govern
ment. Each year, the possibility Of
tax relief, either immediate or
eventual, is the focus of attention.
Now, that distinct possibility is
very close to reality Simply
stated, the question is how much
and when?
Last Monday evening, President
Eisenhower outlined to the Nation
a new tax program, which is
presently under consideration by
the Congress. For the first time
in so years, our tax laws have been
completely examined and reviewed
by the Administration and the Con-
gress. These efforts have resulted
in a much-needed and far-reaching
reform and revision of old tax laws,
which will benefit many millions
of individual taxpayers.
Certain factions have become eX-
ercised by the fact that these re-
auctions have not been of greater
magnitude. Such groups, in my
firm opinion, completely and de
liberately ignore the chaos in fiscal
matters which the Republican Adj
inherited from its
predecessors in January, 1858. At
that time, the total national debt
was in excess of $3.50 billion, and
with only SAG billion in cash in
the public treasury, the minionS
of the New Deal-Fair Deal, had
committed our government to OBJ
legations, on a GOD" basis, to the
