pride upon the high standing of
our Schools and desire that it be
maintained or raised even higher.
IF elected, we intend to employ
competent, understanding teach
ers who have the ability to cooper
ate with parents as we'll as in
struct the children, thereby fos-
tering a closer feeling of friendship
between our citizens and our
schools. Better discipline in the
Schools will thus be served. Firm
discipline, without abuse, builds
better citizens.
1--WE wish to assure the teachers
in our schools that, if elected, we
will give them our cooperation in
any matter that may arise, insofar
as it will serve the best interest of
the schools and the community.
1--WE endorse the Salk polio pre-
vention vaccine program for all
those to whom it is made available,
if they desire it.
1--WE are for continued segrega-
ton in the Milford Schools, for un-
der this system in Delaware both
the white and colored children
have been, and are being. afforded
an opportunity for the equal priv
ilege of being educated. We shall in
sist upon the observance of law and
order, and propose to use every le-
gal avenue available to protect the
rights of the residents of the Mil
ford District in the matter of segre-
CATION, and in every matter vital in
making and keeping this communi-
ty a better place in which to live.
"We declare ourselves against re-
organization of school districts. Mil
ford High School would thereby be
abolished, as such, leaving the citi-
zens of this district no voice in the
affairs CT their schools, as they have
in the past. This would take away,
forever, from our Negro population
their own schools, in which they
have prided themselves. White and
colored children would have to be
transported away from our district
at considerable additional expense.
Do not be misled-this movement is
not for the good of the citizens of
the Milford Special School District
1T is against us.
"This is our program. We submit
it to the voters of the Milford
Special School District, asking for
your support. If We are elected, we
will follow this program to the
best of our ability"
