IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory Of our dear sol
and brother, Pvt. Lysle Burdettt
Kohl, veteran of World War ii, who
lost his life in action June 8, 1914 il
Normandy, France.
Memories are the fragrance
Of the roses that are gone;
Memories are the strains of song
That linger on and on.
Oh, fair white rose of memory,
Within your heart of gold;
There is a wealth Of deathless love
That never can be told.
And as the petals, one by one,
Shall swiftly fall away;
We raise a prayer to Him above
Who gives eternal day.
For memories are the treasures
Of a sad hearts golden store
And the memory of our dear one
Will be cherished ever more.
Sadly missed by
Mother, sister and brothers

Federal aid to education is be-

being received by Representative
Hyde. Republican Of Maryland.
An aide said the Arst letters
received after Mr.. Hyde recently
invited expressions from resi-
dents of Maryland's 9Th Con-

count Of IL for and 81 against.
Representative Hyde is OPP
posed to Federal aid to educa-
ton, a major issue before Con-
|gress.
In q recent news letter, he
said he wants to hear from his
constituents.
"Shall we break with tradi-
ton and embark on a new phil
osophy of public education?" he
asked.
An aide said there were typical
for and against replies:
FOR: I'm my opinion, Mr..
Hyde, If Congress passes a school
construction bill it will not be
breaking with tradition and en-
barking on a new philosophy of
public education. The Federal
Government has been giving aid
to public schools for years d.
I do not see how public educa-
ton can secure adequate sup
port from local and State sources
of taxation when the Federal
Government collects about rs
per cent of all the taxes"
AGAINST: States and mu-
inequalities are in a better posi-
ton to finance education than
the Federal Government. Wash
ington takes q 1925 per cent
bite Of the national income
through taxation, while in 1858,
State and local taxes took only

RICHMOND, Jan. S B.-
Twenty -four State legislators
were on record today as believ-
ing the issuance Of proposed
State tuition grants for private
Education should be made con-
Itingent on maintenance of pub
lie schools.
They agreed to support legis-
Ilation whereby the grants would
be issued to children in a given
locality only when the locality
promised to maintain some form
of public schools.
The legislators backing of
such a stipulation came as the
showdown date neared for the
January 8 referendum in which
IVirginians will decide whether
a convention shall be held to
consider an amendment to the
State constitution.
Delegate Omer Hirst of Fairfax
County tried to get the General
Assembly to go along with this
Idea when 1t called for a vote on
the constitutional convention at
the recent special session. His
amendment was defeated as the
convention bill was whisked
through the House and Senate.
| Polled by Paper
The amendment would pave
the way for the grants to be
allotted by the State for the
education Of children in private
schools as a means of avoiding
compulsory Indignation of Negro
and white pupils.
The "a lawmakers were among
$50 who participated In a poll
conducted by the Roanoke Times
Iop questions relating to main
Itenance of public schools. The
survey found 38 members who
either supported the contingency
stipulation. agreed with the
principle involved or pledged full
Ifillment of the section of the
constitution requiring Statewide
maintenance Of public schools.
