Wicked Editorials

Membership in churches of all faiths in
the United States is reported at an all-timc
high--nearly 100 million, or six out of
every ten Americans. This prompts the
Greenvlle News to inquire whether any
one has noticed a cores onding decline in
wickedness
The News and Courier has noticed no
such decline, except in the editorial col
umns of some of our South Carolina daily
contemporaries Charleston Is. CD News

ton of powers by the U. S. Supreme Court.
Why neither was done apparently is known
only to the State Senate Rules Committee.
The people Of Prince Edward must
realize that the county's school system will
be under attack again this year They de-
cided last year that the county would do
without schools rather than operated them
on de-segregated basis. 1t is our opinion
that the people of Prince Edward are of
the same mind now, adamant in their posi-
ton in the absence of state policy. and will
stand as unit against onslaughts by the
NAACP. Until definite state policy has
been determined Prince Edward County
has no other choice.
Prince Edward County does not stand
alone. Her sister counties, especially in the
Southside, stand with her shoulder to
shoulder. Prince Edward happens to be the
only Virginia county before the District
Court. Friends throughout Virginia are ex-
pressing their support.
We must grid again this year for the
court fight which seems inevitable.

all their records pertaining to efforts to
desegregate the countv's schools. NAACP
