read Of the resolution Of some
members" Of the Potomac con-
vocation Of the Episcopal Do

Gray Commission plan.

One fact alone makes the
Gray plan worthy of consid-
Grafton. It Is willing to concede
that segregation Is not neces-
sarily a national issue nor en-
tirely a State issue but could
very well be a local one. It is
on this level the decisions
should be made. It is on this
level that progress toward inte-
grafton will be made. When a
locality takes the lead 1t will be
watched: when It is operating
its schools smoothly, others
will follow. Such achievements
cannot be brought about over
night. however.
Supporting the Gray plan
is the best way out Of q DIM
cult situation. In doing 50,
we are merely asking for time
to work out the problem on
the local level where II should
be worked out.

Larston d. Farrar's attack
on the Gray Commission serves
only to confirm the fact that
integrationists get much Of the
publicity. while views OF seq
regationists who are striving
hard to project their children,
their homes. environment and
community from undesirable
influences are waging a losing
battle. and their letters"
tossed away.
My grandniece, prior to the
Supreme Court decision, at
tended an all white grade
school. Now it is 81 per cent
I repeat, 81 per cent-colored.
Though white, she has no
choice but to attend or get
no schooling.

forward to adoption Of the
Gray report by the people Of
Virginia? I for one. hope and
pray that It will pass. II they

May remind Larston Far
rar, who seems so concerned
that Virginia must abide by
the Constitution, that In the
Year Of Our Lord 1896. using
the same Constitution, the SUI
preme Court Of the United
States ruled that In public
schools separate but equal
facilities were constitutional.

ton, but at that time we had

Precedent

Mr.. Tydings may be running afoul
of precedent. Precedent in Washington
has been duly established as follows:
When a transit operator is unable to
come to terms with the union he must be
run out of town. At this point in the
three-ring transit circus Mr.. Tydings
should at least make himself familiar
with the location of the nearest exit.

RoinssM Plant
WkNMoom Again

That popular Christmas plant,
the poinsettia, need not be dis
carded when the holiday is over.
The right care can keep it in con-
dition for blooming again next
year.
Horticulture specialists say you
need not be alarmed about drop
ping leaves. Leaf dropping simply
means the plant is going into its
normal rest period, which lasts
until about May l.
After the leaves fall, put the
plant in a cool place-40 to SO
degrees - and water sparingly.
About May l, cut the plant back
quite heavily, to remove excess
wood and make it more shapely.
Shake off the old soil and repot
in a mixture of three parts garden
loan, one part well-rotted manure
and one part leafmold. Use pot
just large enough to hold the mass
of roots without crowding and still
provide good drainage. Water
enough to keep the soil from dry
ing out.
In about another month, when
weather is warm, set the potted
plant outdoors, submerging the
pot in the soil at ground level or
a little below. Put it in full sun
shine unless the weather is very
hot. In that case, give it light
shade. When nights cool in the
fall, put it in a window where there
is good light and air and where
temperature is about 60 to 60 de-
grees, but with no draft. Water
regularly so the soil never dries
out and use little liquid fertilizer
every week.
Long nights, uninterrupted by
even a shaft of artificial light, are
needed to bring the poinsettia into
flower.

that acting under the powers
granted to the respective Boards
under The law. that separate action
will be necessary in order to car
ry out the legal requirements.
Both Boards have certain legal
and moral obligations 10 perform
II is our opinion that the Board OF
Supervisors OF Elections can not
purchase voting machines without
. approval of. and upon such
terms as may be agreed TO by. the
County Commissioners. Bids
have been submitted by the only
two manufacturers OF voting ma
chimes: number of machines re-
uuired has been determined; price
of thirty-SiX machines is known;
terms of purchase are clear; and
since both machines have been
ably demonstrated il is our opinion
that il is the duty of the Board of
County Commissioners to deter
mine what will be approved and
upon what terms the purchase IS
to be made. This should be done at
a regular meeting Of the Board and
the action taken should be sent IN
writing to the Board Aof Super
visors OF Elections. II will then be
incumbent upon the Board OF Super
visorS of Elections TO further con-
slider the matter and after so doing
report its action TO the Board OF
County Commissioners
1t must be remembered that the
Board OF County Commissioners
must provide by levy such sums of
money as may be required for the
purchase Of the machines; pay all
interest charges; pay for the main
tenance OF the machines and pro
vide for such other expense as may
be necessary. This being the case
the Board of County Commission
erS has more than a passive duty
i'm the matter.
In previous opinion we advised
both boards as follows
The system of competitive bid
ding is practiccd for two reasons.
First, by giving the opportunity to
all who produce the same or SINH
lar products TO bid on the items 10
be purchased, and secondly by
giving the purchaser the opportuni-
" Oh obtaining the benefit Of the
best price on the items to be pur-
chased.
Under the general principle Of
law. and by common recognized
practice. unless there is some com
pelling reason to the contrary, the
low bidder is entitled to The award.
This is especially true in matter

under the law governing the pur
chase of voting machines before
the General Election in 1856
In a recent opinion of the At
torney General the following state
mentS appear:
The obvious reason for bid
proposals and secret bidding is
10 prevent any possibility of
fraud in the awarding Of con-
tract II the agency inviting bids

after all bids have been opened,
any advantage that might be OBJ
tanned through the purchase of
property and the awarding of
contracts by secret bids would
be destroyed.
TO allow a bidder to make a
change in any bid after the bids
were opened that would in any
way affect the price. quoted,
