Usually. about 10 per cent Of

The test is whether the vac

non-vaccinated ones.
But polio is a relative disease.
Out of nearly 2 million young

hundreds probably will have fall

A Dangerous and Ill
Timed Amendment

One of the three ballots in the
November 2 general election will
contain the following question,
Shall section one hundred fiji
teen-a Of the Constitution Of Viz
ginia be amended SO as to per-
nit county school boards TO Dor
row money from Retirement Sys-
tenn without a vote Of the PEG
ple?"
Citizens Of this county and
throughout the state are schedul-
ed to vote for" OF against" the
question yet We doubt if the ma
iority Of Virglnians even knew
that the amendment was coming
up for vote this year. The ques-
ton certainly has not been dis
cussed publicly in this area, yet
we believe it to be one that should
be given careful consideration by
every voter.
We know little of the back
ground of the proposed amend
ment. but it is our opinion that
its passage could set a dangerous
precedent. There is too much ifs
cal responsibility in this country
already and we see no reason
why the power to contract debts
should be further removed from
the people. who, after all, must
foot the bill in the long run
To allow school boards the
power to borrow money without
a referendum would be to re
move this power about as far as
possible from public control.
School board members are not
even elected by the people. Rath-
er, they are appointed BY school
trustee electoral board which IN
turn is appointed by judge, who
in turn is appointed to his posi-
ton. Under the proposed amend
ment. therefore, the public Would
be only very indirectly represent
ed on board empowered to con-
tract debts in the public name
In addition to the above argu-
ment against the amendment, 1t
is our opinion that the question
is i'll timed to say the least No
one knows now if there viii be a
public school system in Virginia
two years hence If public schools
can be retained. there VIII Ger
tainly be major changes and re-
organizations in the systems as
we know it now. We do not believe
that an amendment allowing
school boards to borrow money
without a vote of the people
should be one of these changes.

French blinded by their fear of German
militariSm, had taken a long time to see the
difference.
Perhaps the most important result of
the alliance, in the immediate future, will
be to keep West Germany from swinging
to the Soviet orbit The Germans, had they
been stunned by the French. would most
certainly have developed serious and dan
gerouS nationalistic sentiment and they
might even have considered a rapproche-
ment with Soviet Russia This would have
been a major calamity for Western Europe
The Germans, despite the fact that
they opposed Us in the last two World
Wars, are the most valuable allies Ameri-
cans can have. True, we cannot enjoy the
aid Of West Germany without the support
OF France because without support from
behind the United States could not hope
to maintain front in West Germany But,
IN lighting value, the Germans are of para
mount Importance.
The new alliance is the most important
diplomatic victory for the democracies in
some time and it should be source of
great satisfaction to all those who hope to
avoid World War III

The immediate predecessors Of these

procIivites Franklin Roosevelt perforce
spent much time at Warm Springs for polio

Coolidge had no real avocations except
perhaps cruising down the Potomac on the
presidential yacht he was likely to take a
vacation at a different place each year

devotee of poker, spent one vacation on the

highly satisfying.
The opening weeks of the football sea
son give every indication that this year
will be one packed With thrills. There will
be candidates for the various bowl games,
and many strong teams, and the bowl
games should be better than usual on Jan

Der of strong teams, rather than to have
any one team dominating the field, and,
therefore, we think the present football sea
son a more promising one than has unfold
ed in several years
