Trust Co. Will Aid
1855 Graduates
Will Start Savings Account III
Students Match Fund

At their regular weekly board
meeting on Tuesday of this week,
the Directors of the Milford Trust
Company decided to give each OF
the eighty-two graduates of Mil
ford High School a start toward
a savings account.
The plan works as follows.
There will be a dollar deposited in
the name of each graduate in a saw
ings account in the bank, provid-
ing that the student match the dol
lar deposited by the bank.
The plan, according to bank Off
cials, was devised TO encourage
saving and thrift, and they hope
that the graduates will take ad-
vantage of the offer by the bank.
The Milford Trust Company for
many years through their trustee
ship of Louder N. Hearn Educa-
tional Fund, have greatly aided the
youth of this area. To date two hun
dred have been helped to a better
education by this fund, which was
set up under the will of Mr.. Hearn,
who was a former president OF the
Trust Company. This latest plan OF
starting savings accounts for grad
yates is another evidence of pro-
eressiveness of this banking house.

Save Needed Papers
Advises County Agent
May Save You Money Tomorrow
III They Are Needed

Are you frequently haunted by
two little pieces of paper? One is
the piece of paper you save for fu-
ture reference. The other is the
one you should have saved but
didn't Now all of sudden you
need it, urgently OF all the things
you might have kept, this is the
one you didn't.
That's just my way of reminding
you that spring house cleaning time
is here-and along with it comes
the urge to throw out all kinds of
things. True, ii is good sense to dis
card many of the items that have
accumulated in the drawers and on
the desk during the winter but
they should be discarded with some
thought and care. Go through these
papers carefully discarding those
that have no value and putting
those that must be kept in an order
ly file, preferably one that is fire
proof.
Just what should be kept and
what discarded? Here are some gen.
eral rules to follow. suggests coun-
ty agent George Vapaa:

Wills, deeds, stock certificates,
and auto titles of course must be

On Desegregation
High Tribunal Fixes No
Deadline, Giving First
Responsibility To State
Local Officials.
BY Associated Press

The Supreme Court on Tuesday
Of this week handed state and local
officials first responsibility for find
ing ways to end all racial segrega-
tion in public schools "as soon as
practicable"
The court fixed no deadline and
ordered no specific national pro-
cedure for the historic and delicate
task.
But it directed federal district
courts to see that the process starts
promptly and continues with rea-
sonable speed, giving full weight
to varying local conditions and OBJ
stacles.
Reaction to the unanimous ruling
was almost startlingly diverse.
Southern foes of racially mixed
schools said the decision meant an
almost indefinite delay in integra-
ton. Negro leaders said the decision
paves the way for largely wipine
out segregation by 1856.
So both sides generally found
satisfaction in the ruling-because
of miles-apart Interpretation of its
effects.
Rash Of Tests Possible
One result could be a multitude
of new court tests on whether local
officials are carrying out the gen.
eral principles laid down by the
high tribunal. Both Negro leaders
and some southern officials spoke
of county-by-county legal action in
some states.
The long-awaited decision dealt
with how best to implement the
high courts unanimous ruling oi
almost exactly one year ago thai
racial segregation in public schools
is unconstitutional.
1t put all the emphasis on loca
action to meet local problems, re-
fusing requests by Negro attorneys
fo- a clear cut decree to end al
school segregation by September
1856, at the latest. The Eisenhower
Administration had suggested thai
local school boards be given 80 days
to submit plans for ending segre-
cation.
Chief Justice Warren read the
five-page decision 20 hushed court
chamber. A complete end to segre-
cation, he said, presents varied
local school problems. Local school
authorities, he continued, thus have
'the primary responsibility" fol-
solving the problems.
The role of the courts, he went
on, is to decide whether local au-
thorities are proceeding to end
segregation ''in good faith" FEEDER

proximity to local conditions and
