Put safety at the head of your

That was the advice given to
Delaware motorists yesterday by
J. James Ashton, manager of the

Too often vacation trips are
planned without any thought for
safety on the road, and often what
starts out to be a pleasure trip
ends up as another traffic calam-

EDITORIAL: Roanoke World News
Announced intention of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People to
file suit against Roanoke'S School
Board demanding racial integra-
ton is i'll advised and regret
table. It can accomplish no good
and can result only in upsetting
the city's unusually fine inter
racial relationships of the past
The decision proclaimed at an
NAACP meeting Sunday by At
torney Reuben Lawson. president
of the local. chapter. is not sur
prising in the light of suits be-
ing brought elsewhere through
out the state. But it is significant
IN that this follows quickly in
the wake of voter rejection of a
tax increase to help schools
Many feared Just what now is
threatened and voted according
ly.
1t may be even more signifi-
cant in view of the fact that two
Negro councilmanic candidates
were showed under. running last
among 10 aspirants. Had the suit
been brought or mentioned before
the election. the result would
have been even more one sided
ITS shame you have to pass
Jefferson High School to come
over to Addison High and it's
shame some of the rest of you
have to send your children by
white schools to get to Negro
schools" Lawson told his audi
encc. We're getting ready to file
a petition with our school board
to see if they really mean to
treat our children like their own"

from Elwood H. Chisolm, assist
ant counsel of the NAACP legal

New York City, who would have
1t believed that Virginia and the
remainder of the South can be
forced to accept irftegration.
Chisolm showed remarkable
ignorance of the true situation in
Roanoke There is no excuse for
Lawson because he lives here
and knows the facts.
But in case there are some
who don't know the truth or are
helping to cover it up. we cite
some figures. In recent years
Roanoke has been leaning over
backwards to give the Negro good !
schools and more.
Between l949 when a $4,000 900
bond issue as passed and 1854
when the construction program
was completed, Roanoke spent
S5,59l.373 on schools. including
state Battle funds
OF this total, Sl.596.041 was
spent on new Negro high |
school. making it far better than
either white high school. There is !
now plenty of room in it while |
jefferson and Fleming are over
flowing. In addition $93.310 was |
spent on undermining other Ne
gro schools. That made total |
of sl689.35l.
There is at present only one
new school on the drawing |
boards. 1t is a $350.000 Negro
elementary school to replace old

Anticipated in the city. The money |
is being loaned by City Council
from funds that had been put

Altogether. then. the city has
spent or is spending $2.o3e.35l |
out of a total of $5.931,373 avail

down by about S250.o0O by cutting down on
the width of the stamp. Credit for the idea
goes to Franklin l.. Thatcher chief of the
Internal Revenue Services publications
branch. The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing is the Government outfit which
does the printing, and it is now in the pro-
cess of getting ready for the switch-over.
The cost of special watermarked wood
pulp paper will be reduced because the
number Of freight carloads of this paper
needed will be reduced, as a result of 1900
stamps being printed on a sheet of paper

Government to give Thatcher years in
come exemption. In fact, if every Govern
ment employee were offered years in

race nor of the community.
Having been under the NAACP pressure
for the past three years, may we say to the
people in Roanoke that we have maintained
racial good will to a remarkable extent
For this we have been most thankful and
we believe it speaks we'll for the citizens
of good will in both races Prince Edward
has done equally we'll by its Negro citizens
over long period of years. This is not the
point of contention. Our people have not
been at loggerheads with eachother. The
simple fact is that the NAACP in it's
ambitious program to force Indignation,
abetted by political conditions in certain
key Northern states or cities, thus abetted
further by the politicians and other infu-
ences which we have not yet been able
to designate, is attempting to force integra-
ton in every phase of American life in the
North as we'll as the South. Led by
minority, misguided. we believe the Negro
people of the South have prod.ced con-
dition detrimental to both races
The Roanoke newspaper is whistling in
the dark if it thinks there is any reason
ableness left in the NAACP. or that the
Negro citizens of Roanoke, by and large.
have any further control over the situation.
Like other movements, small minority
which has nothing to gain or lose is calling
the signals. AS soon as this is understood
by those of contrary opinions some solu-
ton may be forthcoming
