Opinion Given
By School Board

The Prince Edward county school
board devoted considerable study
Monday night to its responsibilities
for safeguarding public school ia
cilities and records after the close
OF the fiscal year June 30
The new fiscal year for which
school appropriations, other than
debt service, will be refused by
the board Of supervisors commences
July L.
The school board will make a
continuing study of the matter of
properties through the balance of
the fiscal year. but Monday night
reached decisions in several areas.
One concerned disposition Of equip
ment in which associate groups
such as P-TA's have Joint equity
with the school.
Property Ruling
In the matter of equities, the
board holds that equipment in the
schools donated by. or contributed
to, by organizations is presumed
to be the property Of the school
board unless ownership is otherwise
proved by claimants to the board
satisfaction.
The board also approved action
to collect all student records and
store them in a fire proof location
Such records may have value to
either future schools or for future
reference such as applications and
surveys, the board feels.
Study regarding an appropriation
request to be placed before super

Call Meeting On

Criticize Action
OF Supervisors

A group Of Prince Edward County
Negro ministers and officials in the
National Association foy the Adj
vancement of Colored People have
called a meeting in the county June
II to protest the action OF the county
board Of supervisors in abandoning
tax funds for public education
The announcement Of the protest
came in Richmond Wednesday, as
the arrangements for the meeting
were completed by the Ministerial
Alliance of Farmvllle and Vicinity
and the state NAACP.

By general custom, however, the
Bureau has accepted the recon-
mendation of state highway COM
missions in such matters. The In

on national defense and military
utility is consideration requiring
additional approval of the Defense
Department.

Issue Clarified
The determined effort of munich

along the southern route conferred
IN the Water Level Route Associa-
ton. That body presented a power
tul supporting report at the Com

routes in March.
Boiled down to essence, that argu-

communities, but was actually "a
vital decision which effects the en-
tire state. 4
The values of an important high
way link between the populous east

the advantages Of a fuller develop
