Local Option On Schools

plea for allowing local school districts to follow

their communities has been narrowly adopted by the
Virginia Parent Teachers Congress. No should
this is representative of general sentiment in Vr
gnia But it is another evidence of the revival of local
option proposals for desegregaton solutions which reach
well beyond Virgina's borders
Originally the Old Dominion itself appeared likely
to adopt such solution. Studies lasting than
year how best to deal with the difficulties intro
duced by the Supreme Court decision resulted in the
carefully shaped Gray Plan 1t provided for pupil
sgnment and local option But states rights advocates
feared that it would erode not only segregation but
massive resistance" Under that program local option
requires the Governors permission and fOrfeits any
state financial assistance if schools run de-
segregated basis
But Virgnians have been observing that other
states farther south are operating local option with
good deal of States like Tennessee and North
Carolina have found that in communities the ad
mission of a few Negro students caused great diff
ficulty Even in Arkansas, several communities have
made the adjustment and kept their schools open. In
some areas of Virginia similar conditions exist But
today in Virginia under state laws requiring the clos
ing of desegregated schools than 10000 pupils
barred from school because the courts have ordered 81
Negro students admitted.
It is not yet clear how many Virginians un-
willing to make this kind of sacrifice for states rights
Local option advocates also face a penaty-payng for
schools without state aid But they reasonably plead
that one argument for states rghts-ocal self-gov
ernment-applies less strongly to the right of school
districts.
Advocates of segregation hold that the school de-
cision involves the right of citizen to choose his
associates. This argument deserves consideration -
from several angles. One is how it applies where
community asks the right to make it's choice -

US. To Guarantee Private
Financial investments In Ghana

Washington-The United States
and Ghana have reached an agree
ment to institute the investment
guaranty program of the Interna-
tional Cooperation Administration
in Ghana and thus encourage the
investment of private American
capital in the economic and indus
trial development of the new West
African ration.
Ghana became the 38th country
to enter into the U. S. investment
guaranty program when the agree
ment was signed in Accra by
Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah,
for Ghana, and Charge d'Affaires
Peter Rutter, for the United States.
Under the agreement, the U. S.
government will offer two types of
guarantees to cover new invest
ment of private American capital
in business enterprises in Ghana.
The first type is a guaranty that
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1958-11-01

investors will be able to convert
Ghana local currency receipts from
new investments in Ghana into
u. S. dollars.
The second type offers insur-
ance against losses which may re-
suit from appropriation or con-
fiscation.
The guarantees are available for
new investments of cash, commodi-
ties, patents or services made by
US. individuals or firms in coun-
tries participating in the program.
The investor pays a small prem
ium, usually one-half of one per-
cent for each type Of insurance.
In all countries, guarantees total
ing almost $500 million have been
issued since the program was au-
thorized by the Congress of the
United States in 1948. There are
currently applications of several
hundred million dollars pending.

Need For Higher
7. Lighting Levels

Statistics show that the average
age of the working population is
slowly but steadily increasing.
Therefore, adequate lighting is be-
coming more and more a necessity.
1t is after age as that additional
light is needed if these workers
are to see as we'll as their younger
colleagues.
Government figures, taken from
the U. S. Census of Population in
1850, show that the group of work
ers between 45 and "a increased
from 1910 to 1850 by per cent,
from 20 per cent Of the total work.
ing force in 1910 to 80 per cent
in 1850. At the same time, the
35 to 81 group-which consists of
more than half the working force
increased from SIG per cent in
1910 to 56.7 per cent in 1850.
Tests show the oldest group Of
workers-from 45 to 81 - need
almost twice as much light to see
as we'll as workers in the youngest
group-from age II to "a. The
oldest groups attain a visibility
level of about 7 with 80 foot-can-
dies, while the youngest groups
reach TIE same level with 80.
The visibility level obtained by
each group with 20 footcandles
shows that all age groups receive
the same relative benefits as the
illumination in increased. When
the illumination is raised progress
sively from 20 to 80, so and 80
footcandles, the average improve
ments in visibility are %, 60 and
142 per cent respectively.
Approximately 80 footcandles
will provide the youngest group
with a visibility level of 5. How
ever, the oldest group will achieve
visibility level of about 3.5 with
this amount of illumination and
require SO footcandles for q visi-
bility Of s. Thus, the oldest group
needs almost twice the foot-candle
level to reach the visibility level Of
the youngest group.-From Build
ings," Sept, 1857.

SOCIAL SECURITY

When asked why social security
taxes were taken out of their pay
envelopes many workers recently
queried could not come up with the
three main reasons, John F. Pate,
district manager of the Jackson
social security office said today.
Most of them knew about old
age benefits, but fewer were aware
of survivors benefits - payments
to workers dependents in case
of his death. Some did not know
about disability insurance protec-
ton for the worker, and for dis
abled children.
Every working person and his
family should know that, through
his social security tax payments,
he is building three-way protection.
He should realize that the modest
deductions from his pay envelope
can provide a monthly income if
his earnings are cut off either
by old-age, disability, or death"
Pate pointed out.
Social security insurance p ay-
ments are only partial replace
ment of lost earnings. Because

Doggett Gave Up
Classics For Jazz

DALLAS. - To have written
songs and arranged music for top
show business names such as Ella
Fitzgerald, Bill Kenny. and. the
Ink Spots and Louis Jordan might
sound enough in the career of one
man.
But for jazz organist Bill Dog
gett that's only a small part of his
role as an all-around theatrical
Jack of All Trades. Having won
fame three years ago when his
King record, "Honky Tonk," passed
the million and a half sales mark,
won his 10 awards and started pro-
motors fighting to book him, Dog
gett has talents that he's never
put on exhibit yet.
Known in recent years principal
ly as a bandleader, he started off
his career in Philadelphia as a
piano player in a roadhouse cafe.
From there he joined Lucky Mil
ilnder's band as a pianist-arranger
His talents soon were recognized
by Bill Kenny who hired him
Originally trained as a classical
pianist, Doggett gave up the idea
of performing in concert halls,
while with Louis Jordan's band,
he saw 10000 people crowded into
Kansas City dancehall to swing
and rock to Low Down Dirty
Shame"
THAT was the turning point of
my life" he said, because then /
knew that had to get with it and
play the type of music the people
would pay to hear. Bebop and all
those other forms of artistic jazz
were okay for small cult, but to
coin the loot one had to play music
that could be hummed or sung"
Switching from the keyboard to
the Hammond organ at the sugges-
ton of Bill Davis, he started off
with a small trio that has now en-
larged to seven piece outfit. Not
just confined to playing before
rock n roll patrons, he's broadened
the scope of his music until today
he's much in demand as the big
attraction at fraternity and civic
balls where an older type person
is in attendance.
Walter (Foots) Thomas, booker
at the Shaw agency in New York,
revealed that he gets many calls
from white southern niteclubs who
have never booked a sepia outfit.
He said they're due to the kids
presenting their parents to play
Doggett's band at their affairs be-
cause he's their record favorite.
Not one to throw away his money
on frivolous things, Doggett is also
rated one the shrewd businessmen
| of show business. His men are al
ways well-dressed and they travel
in a $4,000 unconditional bus
that is equipped with a small organ

ing along the highway at so miles

Real Beginning Of
Cotton determination

Mechanical cotton pickers, stalled
in recent years by federal curbs
on crops, are purring back into
popularity with Southern growers.
Sales of this equipment in 1868
will be close to the records set in
1862 and 1868, according to manu-
facturers.
In the next few years, IS per
cent of the cotton grown will be
mechanically picked, and the Mid
die South should reach that figure
in three years. Many Southern
ginners report ginning more ma
chine-picked cotton this year than
in the past few years.

REV. JOHN R. PERKINS
1--WE MUST OBEY GODS WILL
AND RIGHT"
God is going to settle all mistakes
And all arguments in this land
When the world can settle it's mis-
takes
And give justice to every man.
God has His eyes on every race
And He knows all right from
wrong
We've got to love one another here
If we expect Heaven to be our
home.
We have got to obey God the
Fathers will
Stop shedding tears and live right
Smile, work and do away with all
tears
If we will only stop this fight.
We must lift up Jesus that the
He said eff be lifted up you see
l will do all the drawing of woman
and man
To be saved from land to land"
So unless we can live here right
Train our children the way they
must go
Stop them from throwing away
all their time
With a ball and bat from door to
door.
We are trying to make heroes
Out of every boy child
With a baseball bat
And that is not worth while.
When we make hero out of every
boy child
What will he be fit for at home?
Sitting on the front porch to see
who will pass 7
And running to the telephone.
We need more Christ in the hearts
Of this young race today
Brains have got their head-tops
heavy
And we all are allowing them to
have their way.
We need to learn this young race
How to work in the garden with a
| hoe
When they come from school its a
ball and a bat
And they never ask Mother may
| l 60. ?"
Now the Bible says to train the
child
Are we obeying Gods Holy word ?
Allowing the child to have its own
way
Now how can we answer this
word?

OUR ELECTRICAL AGE

Recent prophecies of the Ameri-
can electrical future seem almost
Utopian with their pictures of uni
versary electric space heating, or
year-round climate control, cleo
tronic ranges, electronluminescent
walls, factory and office automa-
ton and higher illumination levels.
Yet such prophecies are coming
at a merry clip from the most re-
sponsiblesindustry leaders.
A panel of experts predicts that
nearly three times as much cleo
tricity will be consumed in 1875 as
now in the United States. Speak
ers at the National Wiring Blu
reau's 18th Annual Conference
made it clear that they believe the
biggest wiring job is yet to come.
History would seem to lend sub
stance to these predictions, since
acceleration in the growth Of cleo
trical demand is now said to be
doubling every eight years COM
pared with the ten or twelve-year
rate Of few years ago.

Helis added that the board will
maintain it's policy of rejecting
bids on grounds of insufficient con-
sideration rather than permit the
state to suffer.
During 1857, average bonus Of
fered for state leases was $231.1S
per acre. This declined to an aver
age of $156.64 per acre during
1868 before leasing was suspended.

Brown Charges
Product Imports
Serious Threat

Washington - Especially - Cur
rent imports of refined products
are offsetting gains made under
the voluntary oil import program
and threatening to destroy the eff
fectiveness of that program, Rus
sci B. Brown, General Counsel of
the Independent Petroleum Asso-
citation of America, said Friday.
Brown called attention to latest
Bureau of Mines statistics which
estimate total product imports into
the United States during the third
quarter of this year at 100000
barrels a day. "This is more than
100000 barrels a day more than
the product imports during the
same period last year." Brown said.
"This is an increase of SO per
cent in one year." he said.
Total crude oil imports into all
the U. S. during that period were
reduced $4,000 barrels daily. Thus,
it is obvious further action is M
perative if total imports are to be
reduced in keeping with the gov
ernment's national petroleum
policy" Brown said.
Government statistics for July
and preliminary industry figures
for August and September indi-
cate imports of residual fuel oil
in the third quarter of this year
averaged 100000 barrels daily as
compared to 100000 barrels daily
during the same period of 1857.
AS a result, imports of products
other than residual fuel oil are
estimated to have increased from
$4,000 barrels daily in the third
quarter of 1857 to 100000 barrels
daily this year. "This is an in
crease of more than 400 per cent"
"These increases can hardly be
considered consistent with the gov
ernment's intention to limit oil i'm
ports in the interest of national
security" Brown said. "Unless
positive corrective action is taken
soon, the voluntary program on
imports could be completely de-
stroyed.
"These increases are exactly the
sort of thing Congress feared when
it added derivatives to the i'm
ports to be limited under the De-
Tense Amendment of the Trade
Agreements Act.
"The government will need to
take into account these increases
in imports in adopting the new pro-
gram. To do otherwise would only
condone further attempts by i'm
porters to circumvent the law
which provides for a positive limi-
tation on oil imports as well as the
governments voluntary oil import
program" the IPAA General Coun-
sci said.
