/ THE board strongly favors the

In a recent televised address
Mr.. Fenwick said. THE question
for you parents and other citi-

Republican State Senator Ted

member of the upper branch to
vote against the constitutional
convention. He is among those
who think the assignment plan
is sufficient to meet the problem
Here is what he told the Senate
This plan carries a practical
note. To me. 1t is the most
effective measure suggested to
keep segregation in the public
schools and. at the same time,
1t has slight element of elias
ITCHY or f1exibility whereby 1t
may be pointed out that we in
Virginia are proceeding in a
way that will not do violence
to our customs and traditions
in handling the matter"
Official answers to questions
released by Gov. SANKEY'S adj
ministration include these state
ments:
1T is conceivable that the
operation of the assignment
plan will mean some indignation
in certain parts of the State.
If the assignment of pupil
plan is operated in good faith
there Is no reason why there
should be constant litigation
against the school board or the
superintendent of schools. -

An error of ours last week was
to state that the members of the
Townsend Methodist Church had
the lights put on the steeple of
the church when as a matter of
fact the Methodist Mems Club
had these lights installed and
while we limited they would be
temporary for the holidays the
lights are to be there permanent
ly. The lights bid a grand well
come to all coming to town and
show up SO lovely to all who
gaze upon them. Also another
fine contribution to the improve
ments are the lights in the Bull
letin Board on the church lawn.
The steeple lights can be seen
from quite a distance west and
north of town where there is MOTH
ing to obstruct the view. Many
think a striking view is from
Bailows bridge when anyone is
headed for town. These lights add
charm and make an impressive
sight. We regret the error.
