PARISH STREET SATURDAY.
NIGHT: used to get big laff out
of the talk would hear now and
then from the folks who come to
town in Saturday who live out
where they don't have no electric
lights, and where they didn't never
hope to get any until along comes
the depression and then President
Roosevelt and then electrification,
which will soon make folks out
there where they don't have no
electric lights, or at least where
they didn't use to have none (did
'ju git it, something else again.
Anyhow, what l use to laff about,
as l started off to say was, when
I heard one of them people, in town
working at the oil-mill or box
factory, porter at the store err
sumfin, get mellowed-up over their
fish and beer, and when somebody
started to talk about back home
down on the farm, they'd up and
say, Man, You amt telling me
nuthin l wouldn't tell a mule
to get-up agin i'm he was setting
in my lap Of course that was
a little before the depression, and
l know during them times them
same Brothers and Sisters, for
good plate Of turnip greens, and a
ear of boiled corn would've raised
a mule, bathed him, and picked
his teeth after the blowing was
over Well, they amt no de-
preston here just yet, but one
thing is for sure, brothers and sis
tiers the war is over and
things amt what they used to be
There amt goona be no more
singing LET THE GOOD TIMES
ROLL unless somebody shoots
one of the atom bombs, and then
it won't make no difference
But Fall is here, and whether you
live where they got electric lights
or whether you live where
they didn't used to have 'em, good
bed of turnip greens, a few rows
of snap beans, few stalks of corn,
some collard greens, tomatoes, will
grow on almost any little plot-o-
land, and once you put some down
and they start coming up blooming
and budding and getting ripe and
gathered, when you set down to
your table to a good meal you
didn't have to go to the store to
fix, you will feel like saying again
LET THE GOOD TIMES
ROLL what Pm trying to tell
you is it's a whole lot better to
pick your green out of your own
garden than to have to pick them
up of'n a counter.

Textbook Ban
Vexes Teachers

The Montgom merry County
Board of Education has been
asked to assure county teachers
that its ban on a sociology text
book did not imply q general
lack Of confidence in its teach
ing staff.
The request came from the
county's League of Women
Voters in a letter to Mrs. John
G. Scharf, school board presi-
dent. Copies also were sent to
other board members and to
School Supt. Forbes H. Norris.
The letter. signed by Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Rohr. president of the
league said league members were
concerned by reports of lowered
morale among teachers as a re-
suit Of the ban.
Banned Over "Opinions"
The book, Social Living" re-
vised editions by Paul H. Lands,
professor of rural sociology at
Washington State College. was
banned in January by 4-3 vote
on grounds it advocated opin-
ions The board, however, per-
mitted it to stay in school Ii
braries for reference use.
I'VE are sure that it was
not your boards intention. in

cific text" Mrs. Rohr wrote, ito
imply a general lack of conf
dence in the teaching staff or
impose limitations on the course
of study in the social science
field ....
I'VE are also sure that you
must be as concerned as we are
to find that it has had that
effect: that teachers are asking
to be transferred to less con-
troversial fields; that they are
now heSitant to recommend new
material themselves; or to serve
on committees which pass judg-
ment on that recommended by
others"
FavOrs Immediate Action
The league said it hoped that
the board would take immediate
action to assure the staff of its
trust and confidence" The let
ter asked if the board was PLAN
ming to assure teachers that it
has no intention of limiting
classroom discussion of current
social problems and if it will
continue to be the county's pol
icy to encourage the search for
new and possibl more effective
texts and other teaching tools.

luton, the Governor sidestepped
the bids of various legislators
that he take a stand on the pro-
posal to stand pat for segregated
schools in 1861.
Speed up Tax Program
The major administration
items this session were a speeded-
up tax program to bring IN more
funds for building projects,
measures to increase workmen's
and unemployment compensa-
ton, plus the mental hospital
systems business manager un-
der the Governors Office and
limit agency board members to
two successive terms.
All of these won passage with
out particular difficulty.
Then there was the 1896 mil
lion Stanley budget for 1868
this, too, was adopted without
any notable fights. primarily be-
cause the Byrd act was repealed
at the administrations sugges-
ton and more money was ear
marked for construction-the
big reason for the budget battle
of 1854.
There was no doubt that Gov,
Stanley was considerably pleased
with the reception given his pro-
gram. He said so Saturday when
he told reporters he couldn't
have asked for finer co-opera-
ton and consideration"

Stanley. has every right be

Stanley Plays 1t Cautious;
Wins Assembly Booking

RICHMOND, Mar. II R.-
Governor Stanley played 1t eau
tious at this years session of the
Legislature and came off with
good results.
The 65-year- old Chief Execu-
tive got everything he asked
from the General Assembly.
This was a far cry from 1854
when the newly-inaugurated fur
niture manufacturer ran into a
volley of legislative fire on two
major points in his program.
Two years ago Gov. Stanley's
proposal for a penny increase
in the States Scent gasoline tax
to raise more road revenue never
came to a vote because of fierce
opposition.
Right-to-Work Law
His tightening-up amendments
to Virginia's right-to-work law
stirred up a major fight, but fin
ally squeaked through. When the
Byrd automatic tax reduction act
came under attack, the Governor
threw his support behind the
law, but it wasn't sufficient to
ward of a marathon 37-hour
fight between the House and
Senate.
This time it was different
from the start.
Gov. Stanley made no effort
to revive the gas tax bill and on
several other controversial mat
tiers he played a cautious, re-
firing hand. On the Moore reso-
