Long Wear Hat

MRS. MOLLIE WALSH. of st. Peters
NI burg. Florida. has licked the cost of
keeping in style with the latest model hat.
You might think that Mrs. Walsh did
this by learning how to obtain hats cheapy.
or making them herself at little cost. but
the answer is not to be found there In fact,
the hat which Mrs. Walsh wore on Easter
Sunday this year cost $40 We admit this
is not cheap price for hat.
However. Mrs. Walsh has something
going in her favor. She bought the hat she
wore on Easter Day fifty years ago She
has worn it ever since. and if she bought
hat equivalent in quality today. she would
probably pay 500 or more
The hat is made of monkey hairs. and
they are woven like lace. 1t was made in
Germany and is still going strong Mrs
Walsh bends the hat to various shapes and
continues to wear tin the latest style
We point this little item out to all those
ladies who just must have the latest hat
every few months, whether it be the pre-
sent-day beanpot shape. which is the rage,
or whether it be another style. which is
the rage at another time.
Those ladies who do not wish to wear
their hat fifty years could wear it Just
twenty-five years, and throw it away when
it was only half used. Most husbands would
be willing for them to pay $40 for such
hat, and that might be the only way some
women ever get $40 hat. But. be sure it is
made Of monkey hairs.

nation have been sufficiently jolted into
the realization that little by little the
government of the United States was
undergoing change from the constitu-
tional republic to that of social democracy,
or something else.
Virginia and the other states to the
south, most affected by the unwarranted
school decision have risen in protest
through the passage Of interposition
resolutions, interpreting the sovereignty of
the states between the decision of the Court
and the rights of the people. People in other
states are beginning to understand the
position of the southern states, and truth
and principle are beginning to puncture

northern periodicals and news agencies of
national circulation.

Keep Your Perspective

IN AN ADJOINING column is reprinted
an article by Raymond Moley which
appeared in the current issue of the
national magazine Newsweek We recon-
mend its reading and re-reading.
In the continued attacks upon the
public school system in the states by the
NAACP and the unprecedented decision of
the United States Supreme Court of May
II, 1854, the legislators and people of Vir-
gnia need to guard against losing their
perspective. AS important as is the school
situation, the usurpation of powers by the
Court and its effect upon the future of this
Republic is of equal or even greater i'm
portance.
Save our schools!" "What are we going
to do with hordes of teen-agers not in
school?' Can we afford to fall behind in
education" These are questions being
asked
In the cities many people believe school
districts can be gerrymandered, or the
state through assignment plans or pro-
grams could be used to lessen the impact
of racial indignation in schools.
There are those who suggest that the
northern technique Of Indignation in prin-
ciple but segregation in practice be en-
ployed.
None of these touch the important over
all principle set forth in Mr.. Mbleys
article. Able lawyers, the ma jOrity of those
to whom we have talked. agree that the
Courts decision was unwarranted by law
and precedent. Certainly the dangerous
precedent it set in uSurpation of powers
has been carried into other fields. Standing
in bold relief are the recent decisions in the
Oregon water rights case the Pennsylvania
sedition case. the Nebraska right to-work
case. the New York right to-employ case.
In each decision the rights and power of
the individual states have been usurped,
and their sovereignty challenged
The trend is not new. For the past twenty
or more years the Federal government has
taken unto itself more and more powers of

I. S. Court
BY RAMONA MOLEY

The decision of the Supreme
Court cutting back the Nebraska
right to work" law is the most re-
cent Of series of rulings which
have denied to the states much Of
their traditional power and au-
thority. The most notable of these
was the school segregation deci-
sion in 1854.
Many lawyers have since called
attention to the significant and
ominouS fact that Chief Justice
Warren cited as his major "au-
thority certain writings of soci-
ologlsts and psychologists. One of

could get rid OF our preachers and
get the Apostles to take charge OF
our churches for while. we would
eliminate all our troubles but St

agreed with us. We hear OF oppo-
