The Citizens Committee for an
1ntegrated Water System issued
Its first statement in support Of
the proposed $40 million revenue
bond issue TO finance q public

Water Co. came out with q So
page report seeking to discredit
the proposal. The Virginia firm
is the largest private water COM
pany operating in the county.
Russell Whitener. chairman Of

"The private water companies
have totally failed to meet the
challenge posed by the county's
tremendous growth"
They have failed to provide
water service adequate for peak
summer requirements without

"They have left oIle-fonrth OF

The Virginia Water Co, how

with varying rate structures into

In addition, wells are failing all

table continues to drop and the

Defends Referendum Moves
He defended steps taken by

Boston Hampton Alumni will
celebrate the 87th Founders
Day of the historic Virginia
College.
Hampton was founded in
1868 by General Samuel Chap
man Armstrong. Son of Mis-
sionary parents the 27-year-
old Brevet Brigadier General
was assigned by the Freed
mans Bureau to hel solve the
many problems of the thou
sands of colored people who
had gathered behind the

With the aid of the American
Missionary Association he
founded at Hampton, a school
to train selected young men
and women who should go
out and teach and lead their
people, first by sample
and in this way to build up
an industrial system for the
sake not only of self support
and intelligent labor but also
for the sake of character"
Hampton is thankful that

Tor Life, including efficiency,
character and usefulness to
General Armstrong set
up a standard which is time
less in its appeal. Hampton
today finds itself adaptable to
the changed conditions of the
fiddle goth century.
Hampton's progress from the
early beginning to its present
status as a fully accredited
four-year college has reach
ed its elimination now that
all courses of study lead to the
of Science degree.
Hampton Institute is rated as
a Class A college, by the
Southern Association Of c.

and as a standard College by
