view Course started this week at
Southside Community Hospital, with
II young ladies in checkered blue

view course is designed to give the

cepted in nursing schools for next

Other successful highlights result
ing from the program are that at

Public Hearing
On County Budget
Morning
Citizen Views
Will Be Heard
Starting 10 A. NJ.

A public hearing on Prince Ed
ward countys proposed budget for
the II months commencing July l
is scheduled for 10 am, today
Tuesday in the Circuit Courtroom
Of the Courthouse
AS advertised publicly in connec-
ton with the required newspaper
listing Of proposed revenue and eX-
pendlture estimates, the meeting
Tuesday is an extension OF the citi-
zen's legal right to state his views
prior to the setting of the annual
tax levy.
Under public scrutiny. with the
board Of supervisors present to as
certain the views Of the general
citizenry, will be a history making
annual fiscal outline of s2l0,6 90.
Long Announced
That is smaller by about IS per
cent than the 12-month budgets Of
recent years, and is the financial
guide for carrying out the super
visors announced intent of not APP
propriating any fund resources
raised by local taxes for public
schools
The county government heads
made that Unprecedented decision
only because the county is under a
federal court decree to begin deseg-
regation of its high schools next
September, as well as to begin
planning for degeneration in ele-
mentary schools
Since 1865. supervisors, acting
with what they cons ider over
Whelming public a ccord, have
stated publicly their policy. no APP
preparations for racially mixed
schools.
Procedure Changed
For two years past. while deseg-
gregation was not an imminent
order by the courts, the supervisors
have provided a levy sufficient to
finance the local cost of schools.
but have appropriated from the
general fund only a month at a.
time
Now. if the proposed intent of
the supervisors is carried out, the
procedure will change drastically:
there will be no school items in the
budget. except for debt service, and
therefore revenue estimates are adj
justed downward accordingly.
The document tn he studied in
public session today is essentially
the sum Of anticipated costs Of run
ming the five major county depart
ments. the offices of the Common
wealth attorney, Clerk of the
county, treasurer, commissioner of
revenue and sheriff Also allied es-
sential departments such as vel
fare. public health, agriculture. fire
prevention, building maintenance
and a modest IS 800 for capital out
lays, which may become necessary.
Last years budget was financed
with levy of So 40 per 500 valua-
ton Of real property. That levy pro-
vIded about s380,00O in total local
tax revenue of which about S348 900
was provided for schools.
The proposed new budget. free
Of the necessity of levying for
schools. anticipates 1882 500 in local
taxes. The reduced fund demand is
expected to bring a similarly re-
duced levy.

The total represents an increase
sof about Sc, 900 over the amount re-
Aceived last year Since inception of
the Foundation in 1858, it has dis
tributed more than S93 900 OF Hamp-
den-Sydney College.
The Foundation is an agency
sponsored jointly by the IL four
year independent colleges in Vir-
ginia to solicit funds from business
and industry. Most Of the funds
come from industry within tn e
state.
Foundation funds received at
HampdenS y d n e y are used pri-
marily for the annual operating bud
get for the purpose of improving
faculty salaries
Dr. Joseph c. Robert, president
'of the college. sees the fund pro-
gram as tangible evidence that the
leaders in the manufacturing and
commercial world are becoming in
creasingly concerned for the vel
fare of our colleges. not only as
sources Of educated manpower for
their own operations but for the
welfare Of CUR state and nation. ;"
He added it is significant that the
amount contributed by business
and industry to higher education in
Virginia has increased appreciably
each of the six years the vic has
been in existence"
Last year was the best in the
WIGS six-year history with total
of SAT- ,525 distributed to its IL
member institutions. In its six
years, the Foundation has dis
tributed $l,741 900 among the pri-
vate colleges.
