Crusaders Say Local Option
Would Destroy State Unity
Thousands Urge
Legislators To
Set New Pattern

Members of the General Assem-
bly, convening in Richmond Tuesday
found a serious-minded, dead-in-
earnest group of five to ten thou
sand Virginians waiting for them on
the Capitol grounds.
Speaking for the bill Of Rights
Crusaders was Edward j. Silver
man, Of Blackstone. Silverman said
the school problem was the basic
problem involved, but 1T is. only
one Of the issues with which we
will be faced in the future, If we
fail to deal in a positive manner
with this one now
Joining the Crusade of Virginians
were some $50 Prince Edward
County citizens. F. Curtis Hubbard,
county Crusade chairman, said the
meeting was very successful" and
he expressed pride in the manner
in which the Crusaders conducted
themselves and the impressiveness
OF the assembly.
Sllverman was interrupted So
times by orderly applause during
his half-hour speech from the South
Portico of the Capitol building.
Unusual Assembly
This entire Crusade has been
something out of the ordinary =
Silverman said. 1T has been de-
veloped by the people here in the
state who are alarmed at the trend
in our government in Virginia.
Almost all of the $40 members of
the House of Delegates came out to
listen to the Crusade spokesman,
and to face the thousands of voters
who left their daily work to make
an appearance in Richmond
Speaking to the legislators Silver
man said they are the only remain
ing line Of defense. You must
snatch up the torch Of liberty from
where the executive branch has let
it fall" he said He warned that
the way would not be easy. and
many Of our people will have to
languish in Federal jails for refus-
ing to obey. the edicts of Federal
| courts. But freedom has never been
won easily and the price is always
| high
Passive Resistance
In urging pattern of brave pas
sive resistance, Silverman said,
We must require the Federal gov
eminent to incarcerate our leaders
and our people and if necessary to
/ occupy our state with Federal
troops. But we must never dignity
these Federal DEGREES by admitting
their validity
The Crusaders assembled in
Richmond to meet at the same
time the Perrow Commission was
! to give its report on the school
situation. However the commission
report was delayed for several days.
We are not here to evaluate
the merits or dement's of the Per-
row commission. Silverman stated.

Cases Not Found
The mass chest x-ray programs
as done in the past few years have
not been productive with respect to
finding Of undiagnosed cases Of pull
monary tuberculosis in this dis

is probably due to the fact that the

Help Needed
This undertaking will need the
help of every worker in the area
and when finished, the Health De-
partment will cndeavor to make a

all abnormal findings. The ply
slclana have given It's their blessing
and VIC vii definitely need it. We
aspire 10 the eradication Of tubcr-
culoslS and such depends upon the
result of tins undertaking.
VIC do not think of tuberculosis
As a serious killer at present but
tour cases of pulmonary TB died
IN Prince Edward county during the
past year This is unusual, but ii
reminds us that additional effort to
eradicate this preventable disease
is urgently indicated. The Southside
TB Association plans to organize a
group of interested volunteers To
campaign and every family can eX-
pect a caller regarding an appoint
ment so that no one will be
omitted" the director said.

history of the Pea in celebration
of the 25th anniversary of the local
organization Striplin was the first
secretary treasurer of the Farm
Vile Pea.
Striplin recalled the drought
years Of 1880 and 1882 and with
equal Importance, the economic
drought of the early 1905.
Money was tight" he said. Con
dltions were tight He recalled
that was the stage setting for the
organization Of the Pea in Farm
vile on January g, 1884

the founders Of the organization
and 4 director Of the Baltimore as
ISOLATION. &C h 0 e d Striplin's re-
marks. We've seen great improve
ment in the organization Y Green
said and it has made great steps
forward"
Green pointed out that the Pea
is no longer borrowing from the
government. but is a farmer owned,
farmer controlled. tax paying in
stitutlon. He pointed to two ma
jor problems. The high cost of
money and the increasing cost of
operation. He suggested several
ways Of reducing costs. and asked
that present members contact their
friends and neighbors who are in
need Of borrowing money.
Hugh S. Mackey. president Of the
Federal Land Bank and Federal
Intermediate Credit Bank OF Balti-
more was the featured speaker.
Directors; reports were given by
H. Z Boswell, Jr., for the Pea
and by w. w. Vaughan for the
National Farm Loan Association.
Boswell pointed out that 682
loans had been made during the
past year, for a total of S2,O75 1893.
This represents an increase over
the preceding year, when 673 loans
were made for 81 ,662 1853.
Vaughan reported that the num-
Der of loans made by the NFLA
was 80 for total of 1857. 100. This
is two less loans than the proceed
! ing year. but represents more

Seven area projects, with al
locations totallng over ST 900 ,OOC
are included in the Highway Com
missions listing of rural primary

mencing July l. which were ap-
proved last week.
The seven are: Route Is in Buck

Secondary Tipped
In its session last week, the Com
mission also approved s33 500 900 il
state and federal-aid funds for the
4l.542-mile Secondary, or farm-to-
market. system.
To provide that new total. higher
by nearly $3000.0O0 than an
nounced earlier. the Commission
deferred some of its proposed 1859
60 use of federal funds available for
the Interstate System The State
has two years in which to avail
itself Of the federal interstate
grants, which are matched on a
10-to-I basis.
Even with the shift of additional
money to the Secondary system
which has been hit hard by two
severe winters in the past three
years, engineers said new Second
airy construction will still have to
be curtailed.
Protests Made
Strong protests against Secondary
cutbacks in favor of the Interstate
projects were made by The League
of Virginia Counties and State Sena-
tors Charles T. Moses and Harry
F. Byrd, Jr.
Whether or not these led to the
restoration of funds is not certain
but they probably had some effect
on the Commission.
These are the totals approved
last week by the Commission ir
state and federal funds. 1913 mil
lions for Interstate work, Sl9.3 mil
lions for rural primary projects
S9.9 millions for urban construction
and maintenance primary high
ways in towns and cities and SIS.
millions for primary replacement
and maintenance, and 81 million for
new access roads in industrial sites

location was S4,672. 491
Public Hearing
A public hearing for proposed pri
mary work in the Lynchburg Dis
trict will be held Thursday, May
81. at $3.50 am. at Hotel Roanoke
The High way Commission :.
breakdown ALLEGATIONS for the S33.:
million in Secondary funds will bt

Gist of the protests to Secondary
cuts was that these roads shoulC
not be made to suffer while pro
ceeding at too rapid rate in In
terstate construction, which is {
long range program, as the OBJ
jectors pointed out.
The Commission estimates il vii
