In the Nations Capital, 20,
or three-fourths Of the Districts
1873 school buildings were shared
by students of both races for the
first time with the opening of the
1954-55 school year last Septem-
Der. The city had total enrol
ment of 05,400 pupils of both
races in elementary and second
airy public schools Because of
residential patterns, some of these
continued to attend the rs all
Negro and the u all-white
schools.
Delaware, Pro and Con
On the credit side, Delaware is
the home of perhaps the first
town in a state whose laws re-
quire separate schools to admit
Negro students voluntarily to its
white" school prior to May IT,
1854. In Arden. a small commun-
ity near Wilmington, school au-
thoritieS, in response to request
of a Negro parent, agreed to adj
init his children to the local ele-
mentary school. This was after
the State Supreme Court had rul-
ed that the HockesSin and Clay
mont schools had to admit eolored
pupils on the ground that equal
facilities were not available to
them in their respective eommun-
tiles.
The Permisive States
In four states Kansas, New
Mexico, Arizona and Wyoming =
public school segregation was
permissive. In some measure
school segregation prevailed in all
of these states except Wyoming
which has a minimum Negro pop
ulation. Gov Milford l.. Simpson
has asked the Wyoming legisla-
ture to enact a civil rights code
eliminating the Jim Crow school
statute. One of the cases on which
the Supreme Court ruled on May
II originated in the capital of
Kansas, Topeka.
In Kansas there has been only
one separate high school for Ne
groes located in Kansas City. In
other communities both races at
tended the same high school. In
many cities there We're no Sepa-
rate schools, either elementary or
secondary. Even before May IT,
partial desegregation was begun
in Topeka. Wichita, AtChison and
Salina, Following the decision,

grams of degeneration.

A Report To The PEOPLE

me Noble county courthouse going to be put on a
gusneslke basis and possible the strings are
sollg 10 De tlghtened on the taxpayers money
This is essentially what is contained in an announce
ent made today by Auditor c. r. Atkinson who has
hat IN less than four months of 1855 the general
1und and the road and bridge of the county are
overdrawn by several thousand dollars
AUDITOR Atkinson said that he feels voters and tax
payers OF this county elected him to this office with the one
tnougnt IN mind that he conduct be the best interest
OF their welfare. ~ Nv
Even though il might mean that will serve only one
term Atkinson said Il intend to do that very thing and
IN every respect intend protect their everv INTEREST,"
With this in mind Auditor Atkinson announced that
ne is gong to set up requiStion system to control the
OF the officials of different offices of the county
whose purchases are paid for by the county auditor He
end TO see that the purchases kept within the
PanonS and money available and he said that no bills for
any such official would be paid where the money has not
been certified for such expenditures.
lhis is certainly not idea for every court
mouse IN the state OF Ohio has been managed this av for
several years except of course, in Noble county
Over at Woodsfeld in Monroe county, it is impossible
lo any pupc official to buy much single lead pencil
without first receiving requson from the county auditor
ana IN the future that is the way is going in Noble
county.
Auditor Atkinson first checked with the examiners of
the state department of taxation and also with examiners
of the bureau of inspection supervision of public Offices
and told that the only way to get the overdraVn funds
PACK INTO balance was to set up requisition system
This will include everything from road machinery Stag
Tor the county roads to ten cent for any public
official IN the courthouse.
1t is wide in its scope and in respects the action
OF Auditor Atkinson may be considered dctaora by other
on an even keel and save the taxpayers money
1t is system which has been used in the other 81
counties OF the state for years and there absolutely
no reason why it won't work in Noble county.
For several years. each public official has felt free to
purchase whatever he wanted to and when he felt like
1t but beginning this week. this liberty privilege has been
removed.
Auditor Atkinson said that he going to furnish
each office with statement of their appropriation for the
year 1885, their expenditures date and the balance that
they will have to operate for the remainder of this year
The efficient county official also pointed out that all
vendors selling Noble county should be sure that all
purchases have been covered by requisiton
certfcaton has been made by the county auditor that
funds available for payment of said purchases other
wise the bills would not be honored.

THE AMERICAN WAY
The Continuing Revolutiop

There is always a revolution
going on somewhere. Our fore
fathers revolted against King
George the Third of England and
his dictatorship.
Under our wise Constitution,
every four years we have q
Presidential election, which, in
the final analysis, is really q
revolution. Today, however, we
are having a bloodless revolu-
ton of a more basic sort. 1t is a
revolt against bipartisan con-
cept of government and social
RECOMMENDATION that is alien to our
time-proven heritage of individ-
ual liberty and responsibility.
The original American Revolu-
tion of 1776 was but one of long
series of revoltS against feuda1-
ism. 1t liberated people geo.
graphically separated by q vast
ocean from the worlds centers
of power. It's shibboleth was the
Declaration of independence and
its objectives were crystallized
in the Constitution of the United
States. Under that unique docu-
ment, we were able to build a
strong, prosperous country and
civilization such as the world
had not previously known.
Then, under the impact of the
great economic depression of the
sos, certain people were elevat-
ed into power who had no real
understanding of the American
political, economic and social
system. Those to whom we mis-
takenly delegated the power to
pass, enforce and interpret legis-
lation, took a wholly new tack
which has carried US a long way
back to the very paternalistic
system against which our fore
fathers revolted.
The American spirit of self
reliance was tossed out of the
window by the politicians at
Washington. When an individual
or group got into difficulty, a
law was passed to give relief.
Anyone with an idea of some
thing he felt should be done,
rushed off to Washington to get
Congress to appropriate some
money SO that the politicians
could do the job.
Each time Washington acted,
Federal Power grew and the
initiative and resourcefulness of
the people shrunk. The individ-
ual states were robbed of their
jurisdiction over local problems
which constitutionally they were
intended to solve. To all intents
and purposes, our Constitutional
Republic and federation of sover-
eign states became a one-man

NV Mothers Bible

My mothers Bible is old and
worn,
And its pages are ragged and
torn,
But on its pages in richest
gold,
The story of love is so plainly
told.
She told me daily of our
Saviours love
Coming down from the Father
above.
And from her Bible she often
read,
From Gods Word her soul was
fed.
My mothers Bible is now my
own,
Reading it, / never feel

KNOW YOUR
ELECTION LAWS
BY TED w. BROWN
Secretary of State of Ohic

Secretary of State of Ohio
Fifty-two counties in Ohio
were affected by the May 3 Pri-
maries by the holding of cleo
tions in one or more municipal
ties in the county.
These Primary elections, inn
portant since they elect officials
on the fundamentally basic local
level, sometimes pose greater
problems for the Board of Elec-
tions and the Secretary of States
office than those in which can
didacies of a county, district,
statewide, or national level are
involved.
Always, following a Primary
or General Election in townships,
municipalities and school dis
tricts, where the vote is smaller,
there is a large number of tie
vote results. Sometimes, in heat
ed contest, because of the close
ness of the races, recounts are
asked; sometimes there are rum
ors of irregularities and court
cases. The overall percentage of
these cases are small, however.
For the most part, Ohio's laws
and the men and women who
imam" the polls protect the sec
recy and sanctity of the ballot
and the rights of candidates. The
greater portion of tie-vote cases
are settled amicably by the toss
of a coin.

legislative Tempo Increases
BY
REP. JOHN e. HENDERSON


The past week has been a
considerable increase in the tempo
Of legislative action in the Con-
gress as many important meas
ures move from consideration by
various committees to the floor
OF the House and Senate for de-
bate. Among the principal meas
ures to receive consideration last
week in the House was the i'm
portant postal pay increase bill.
Farm price support measures are
expected to occupy the key posi-
ton on the calendar this week.
Disabled Veterans
One matter dealing with bene-
fits TO veterans which has dis
turbed me has been the present
regulations governing the deter
nlnatlon of serVice-connection
in judging ,claims for certain
disabilities. | believe that in the
case Of arthritis, multiple seller
osls, and psychosiS the regula-
tons are unnecessary restrictive
These are diseases which are
very slow in developing their
disabling effects. They are often
caused by conditions which it is
the lot of the serviceman to
endure.
The present law provides that
for arthritis, service connection
will be presumed if it results in
1919 or greater disability within
one year after discharge from
the service. The period is two
years for multiple sclerosis. One
year is currently allowed in
cases of psychosis for compensa-
tion purposes with an additional
year allowed for priority for ad-
mission to a veterans hospital.
Since / feel strongly that the
present allowable periods work
an unfair hardship on many vet
Grams who have developed these
diseases after discharged from
the service, / introduced bill
last week to increase the service
connection presumption period to
three years in the case of each
disease. This bill, H. r. 5719, is
now before the House Veterans
Committee and it is my hope that
it will be favorably considered
during the present session Of
Congress.
