suit in acceptance of that dare in
courts of law. Then. should it be
declared unconstitutional, we will be
right back where we started from.
In our opinion, Governor Hodges
is among the best Governors North
Carolina ever had. We also believe
his advisory committee submitted the
proposals on education with deep
conviction in their merits and pur-
pose. We have only compliments for
what they have done.
But in the same breathe, we have
considerable doubts that this legisla-
ton will meet with court approval.
Ii can certainly be construed to vio-
late the spirit of the court decision
whether it violates the letter or not.
We would like to see everybody
happy. We hope that somewhere
there is solution. But as we have
said many times in the past only time
and understanding along with coop
GRAFTON will ever bring about last
ing educational peace between the
races. Man and laws will not hasten
that tranquility.

JUST WHAT WOULD
YOU DO?

Let's suppose a moment. Suppose
that Governor Hodges had named
you one man committee to draw
up legislation that would maintain
segregated schools in North Carolina
and at the same time abide by the
Supreme Court decision that is now
the law of the land. How would you
have gone about doing your job"
That's the very problem that the
governor handed to talented and
energetic committee. 1t is that COM
mittees report that called for the
special session of the General As
sembly. That's the problem that the
lawmakers have now been wrestling
with. 1t has become apparent that
the committee report is far from &C
ceptable to all OF the public.
One group says il would save the
schools" And another says il will
destroy the schools" These opposite
reactions TO the same proposed bill
would put any persons or hot seat
when the final decision must be made.
Also. one expert on law Will say
that II Is unconstitutional and another
similar expert says il is acceptable
TO the Supreme Court and mus not
unconstitutional. Is il constitutional?
Will il destroy the schools. Will it
save the schools.
