Milford Physicians
Issue Statement
Concerning Schools

A group of Milford physicians
met Tuesday evening, January 25
to consider some of the problems
facing our community following the
attempt last fall to admit Negro
students to our schools.
The following Milford physicians
attended the meeting: DR.. John
Baker, DR.. Leslie DObsOn, DR.. Law
renee Fitchett, DR.. Oliver A. James,
DR.. Felix Mick, Dr. David Sills and
DR.. Casimir Vileisis.
It was unanimously decided that
in the public interest and for the
welfare of our children and schools
the following should be presented
to the people of Milford:
'We are proud Of our schools
and the place they have attained in
the field of secondary education.
We are aware that the present
status of accreditatiOn and high
academic standing has been reached
only through the combined efforts
of the school boards, administra-
tors, teachers and parents over a
period Of many years. The cOntin-
uatiOn of this high level of achieve
ment should be a matter of vital
concern to every member Of this
community We deplOre any action
which might affect adversely the
academic standing Of our schools.
1--WE deploTe the fact that pres
sure groups from outside the COM
munity have seen fit to aggravate
the situation. We feel that the prob
lem exists as the result of many
factors and that many individuals
throughout. the state must bear the
responsibility"
eve feel that the solution of the
,prOblem must come from the courts
and our duly elected officials and
legislators. Since this is a statewide
problem we feel that the solution
must affect all communities at the
same time and in a similar manner.
We are confident that the problem
can be settled equitably through
present legal channels"
while awaiting the solution
we urge all members of the COM
munity to have patience and exert
every effort to maintain the pre-
sent high standard Of our schools. ."
DR.. oliver V. James and DR.. S.
NJ. d. Marshall, while not present
at the meeting Tuesday evening,
have endorsed the above statement.
