Double Check

The biggest thing on TV today
is T-V advertising the show you
are to see. They spend more time
in the buildup than the show
takes to put over. 500 it must
pay to advertise on TV.
The much talked Of Governors
conference is on down South.
Guess they will talk about golf.
hunting and Southern cooking.
Now it's a question as to what did
the Governor OF Arkansas say to
the Governor Of Georgia.
What !. don't understand is that
We had freedom why do we need
civil rights? Why make this Unit
ed States a military nation, ex-
actly what we been a fighting
and a dying to keep other coun-
tries from having. It's like a
game you Americans play called.
Heads and Tails. only this time
we all lose either way. II we ever
get halfway back TO tne lull Tree
dom that made this nation the
envy OF all others we will have to
60 through another Constitutional
Convention and take a blood bath
to set things right this even the
less thinkable didn't figure in
AT least we have reached the
stage In the game where nothing
really sensational ever happens.
We have seen II before and while
We are all shook up we have little
fear Of any consequences. What's
'agoing to happen will happen SO
why worry.
Thanks for reading.
Yours,

Letters To Editor
School Teachers
Need Good Tools
Editor The Farsnville Herald :

Some months ago the Farmville
Herald printed some articles on
our education system and some
from other Virginia papers, also
an article on the same subject by
a college professor from Roanoke
College.
| These articles were adversely
critical Of the system. Numerous
books by noted educators on this
and the subject OF, higher educa-
ton are being published.
The derth Of engineers and
scientists have been attributed TO
the slow progress ia the element
airy schools and high schools
Last night listened to a Dr.
Rurling talking on the radio on
/ this subject. the reception was
! poor on account of electric storms,
believe he recommended that
extra bright boys should be sent
to college at the. age OF H.
Y am sorry To believe that our
school system. which Is older than
the nation itself, could not pack
enough English vocabulary into
the heads Of even the brightest
students in that much time to
enable them to tackle first year in
college.
| I firmly hope that the system
and the books can be changed 90
that the student will spend the
first years al school learning to
read and speak ana build up a
vocabulary so that when he looks
| up word In the, dictionary. he
will understand the words that
are used to explain the word he
Is hunting. ~.
The armed force Institute at
Madison, Wisconsin must process
most Of the recruits who are
drafted with only elementary
schooling as we'll, ais many high
school graduates 50. they can be
trusted to work in teams at duties
which are highly technical.
/ I have a girl in first grade in
the local elementary school and
two boys in third grade.
I have just reviewed the third
grade arithmetic that they are
using. This book. was prepared BY
Guy r. BUSHNELL and William A.
Brownell OF Caltfornfa University
Berkeley and Irsne Sauble Of De-
troit public schools. This book is
a waste Of time of teacher and
student. It offers not one iota Of
progress to the third grade. Be-
tween the covers Of nearly four
hundred pages the student may
solve the problem Of s plus 2 OF
minus !. or. "a divided by 2,
during his nine months study.
This book should be dropped and
the other books reviewed.
The teachers arc the best that
can be found and they should get
the best tools to work with.

The good people OF Sturgls and

have been subjected to a humili-

Chandler. The national press and
radio have obscured the truth and
distorted the news concerning the
Indignation disturbances.
In desperation a number oil
these people have organized a
private school. in order to protect
their children from the intolera
BILE conditions which exist in the
community. They have purchased
hlA0 NAAiRRCA a cuithOlC O0ilAAls
and plans have been made to re-
move all white children who de.
sire from the Sturgis school.

school find themselves desperate.

Law and Orde r

that all precedents were to be shattered,
that their decision was personal opinion
for which law could not be found. They
cast law and order away and the United
States became a nation ruled by men not
by law. AS was predicted by those who had
experience violence would result, educa-
ton would suffer. Little Rock is but pre-
vue of what might be expected.
Had the advocates Of racial integratlon
been able to amend the Constitution Of the
United States SO as to transfer the rights
of education from the states to the federal
government it would have become the law
Of the land through due processes. Know
ING this to be presently impossible, the un-
democratic method, tainted with political
power. chicanery and deceit, was used. Inc
courts were used as tool.
The Virginia Legislature by resolution
has declared the decision Of the Supreme
Court CONSTITUTES deliberate, palpable
and dangerous attempt by the court itself
to usurp the amendatory power that lies
solely with no fewer than three-fourths
of the States !. :. Virginia is duty bound TO
interpose against these most serious con-
sequences !. now appeals to her sister
states for that decision which only they are
qualified under our mutual compact TO
make, and respectfully requests them 10
Join her in taking appropriate steps, pur-
suant to Articles Y. of the Constitution, by
which an amendment, designed to settle
the issue of contested power here asserted
NAV be nronosed by all the States ii. that
until the question here asserted by the
State of Virginia be settled by clear Con-
stitutional amendment. we pledge our flrm
intention to take all appropriate measures
honorably, legally and constitutlonally :.
to resist this illegal encroachment upon
sovereign powers.
Virginia can not retreat from this posi-
ton. Eight other Southern States have re-
solved in similar language Until the AZ
states Of the Union have resolved this con-
test here asserted there can be no law and
there will evidently be no order with re-
gard to the racial ntegration of the public
schools.
There will be no peace, so long as the
militant forces press racial Indignation and
federal courts abuse the power which has
been usurped through the decision Of May
II, 1854. BY some means cooling off"
period is needed while law is restored
through legal procedures, which would re-
quire an amendment to the U. S. Constitu-
ton. Until this is done there will be no law,
no order, no peace.

AW and order needs to be restored. Inc
- weeks events at Little Rock Arkansas,
is but an example of events to follow un-
less those responsible take steps to restore
law in this republic. Violence begets vlo-
lence, discourtesy begets discourtesy emo
ton begets emotion, force begets force.
Clear. calm thinking is needed on the part
of all people, before force gets out OF nand.
President Eisenhower sent f d e r
troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, to pre-
serve peace and force the edits of the ted
eral courts, primarily the latter. He feder-
allied the National Guard in Arkansas,
thereby taking away from the Governor q
Arkansas all military power. His acts are
questionable under the law. The ugly tact
is that the federal government has taken
over the State of Arkansas, violated IT'S
sovereignty and will attempt to force ord
ers of questionable legality made by 1ed-
eral court Not pretty picture IN land OF
freedom and individual liberty.
1t does no real good to berate the Presi-
dent. Too much uncontrolled criticism has
been directed to him already. we belleve
him to be absolutely in error in ms latest
order to occupy the school OF Little ROCK
We think he has gone back on his promises
and made shambles of all OF his pretty pro-
nouncements on the rights of the Az sep
arate states. He has played into the hands
Of the nations enemies for if there ever
was more productive source OF Comnun-
list propaganda we can not imagine 1t. He
has acted preemptoriy without Judlclous
consideration But, we do not presume 70
berate him as has been done by some OF his
friends The public statement of "Sacha-
mo" Armstrong, the Negro trumpeter ana
ambassador OF good will for the State de-
partment, showed poor judgment, m
famed feeling and discourtesv beyond the
realm of forgiveness. The President mas
erred-grievously erred.
An appeal to reason is in order, if there
is any reason left in the people OF the
United States If there be none, then our
national government has fallen into the
hands of powerful politicians not amena-
BILE to the wishes of the people. who will
impose their wills upon us with sheer force
federal military force
In order to solve situation such as this,
the cause must be sought and corrected.
The U. S. Supreme Court in its decision Of
May II, 1854, outlawing segregation OF
races in the schools Of the nation, was
palpable breach of the Constitution and
the rights of the people and of the states
which created the central government. The
Court in its decision recognized the fact

and whether it was through internal rev.
olution or through brush" war as occur
red in Korea, the Communists have not
been averse to using such tactics.
There is a danger that this philosophy
will be translated into action in the Middle
East The United States must be ready to
use its forces and its power to maintain the
freedom Of those countries which do not
wish to fall under the Soviet Orbit While
this may cause sacrifice, if our policy is
clear, there is a good chance that we can
prevent the Russians from misunderstood
ing our position and assuming they can
provoke aggression and get by with it in
the Middle East
On the other hand. if they take the gam
Bile, we will have to face the challenge and
react and there will be casualties. Con-
gress has already given President Eisen-
hover the power to use U. S. troops and we
believe the President is ready to use them
if the situation requires it.
In other words, we are very close to a
very serious turn of events in the Middle
East and, unfortunately, it is up to Moscow
to decide whether there will or will not be
aggression in the Middle East.

Call Billy Graham,
Negro Lover

CHARLOTTE, N. c. Segrega-
getionist John kasper attacked
evangelist Billy Graham Sunday
for speeding the Christian reli-
gion among Negroes.
The young white supremacist
advocate called Mr.. Graham a
Negro lover just a few. hours
before the evangeast staged a
gigantic closing rally at Times
Square to end his New York
crusade.
Kasper, who has admitted he
attended integrated dances while
living in New York's Green
witch Village. spoke 20 ABOUT SOC
persons from the steps of the
courthouse here. Later Police
Chief Frank M. Littlejohn chas-
cd him away and a small crowd
of about thirty persons followed
him TO the lawn of a private
home where he had been invited
Kasper also discussed his
speech Saturday night at Win
ton-Salem, N. c., where he was
ieered. He said the persons who
jeered at him were all Negroe:
and it just shows they amt go
no manners He said the high
school boys are going to take
