Two spokesman, F. H. Hanburv
Jr., and E. Louis Dahl, both of
4 Farmville, appeared before the
supervisors to urge denial Of the
school board fund request for
maintenance in 1880.
Hamburg called the school board
request downright ridiculous He
told supervisors The taxpayers
don't want it and they won't have
it. To me YOU would be fleeing
the taxpayers if you, approve this
request"
Dahl. chairman for the fund cam
paign underway to support I h E
Prince Edward Foundation or
gained to finance private white
schools said approval Of the
school board request would be a
compromise Of the county's de-
termination to abandon public edu-
cation rather submit to the un-
bearable alternative of being taxed
to support integrated schools
Supreme Folly
II maintain that we cannot re-
main partly in the public school
business and partly out of it,
Dahl declared
Speaking of the seventeen re-
quest. Dahl said it would be pre-
posterous to lock school doors to
white school children and open them
to a staff of janitors, and SUI
preme folly to discharge loyal
and capable corps of 60 teachers
and at the same time maintain a
superintendent office with a com
plement Of clerks.

people of this county would not

With the circulation Of petitions
should contact Mr.. Habedank.
The Petition, which calls for the
signature of 800 of the qualified
registered electors and taxpayers
Upon property within the bound
aries of the high school district,
directs the high school board to
call for a bond election TO con-
Struct, equip and furnish a new
senior high school building and to
purchase a site which is to be
selected as provided by law.
The petition further calls for
the Sidney High School District
to bond for S840, 10000 which APP
proximates the bonding capacity
limit based on a conservative es-
innate of assessment figures for
1859. The coast to the taxpayer
on this bond issue amortized for
twenty years at 40 would be S3.25
per thousand of assessed value.
This would mean that a new S12,-
900 to $4,000 home would be
taxed to about S11.00 per year for
that period.
When the required number of
signatures have been secured, the
board plans to call the bond cleo
ton in conjunction with the re-
school election to be held on
April 4th. In order to pass a bond
election 400 of the qualified cleo
tors must vote.
The members of the board will
be happy to appear at any group
organization meeting to pre-
sent the problems and plans and

Why | 60 To Church Regularly

I believe churches were made for all - sinners as well
as saints and that we should attend church, not because we
are good, but because we want TO be better.
I usually enjoy going to church; but when 1 don't my con-
science will not permit me 10 skip Sunday services without a
reason other than my personal pleasure. To me, religion with
out regular church attendance is as empty as Christianity with
out prayer. I believe that if each protesting Christian were to
end each day with a sincere prayer to his Lord and Savior, not
just seeking forgiveness for sins, but asking that on the morrow
he would receive guidance as TO what He would have done, and
the desire and ability 10 carry into practice in daily living His
wish, the present churches could not accommodate those whose
concience would not permit them to stay away from the church
of their choice on Sunday.
If you doubt this statement, sincerely pray such a prayer
yourself and see what happens. l believe that you, too, will en-
Joy the result = but whether you enjoy it or not, 1 believe you

Jesus trial before PLATE is the
supreme example of such an up
side-doWn trial. If any one had
asked the governor that evening
how he thought history would rank
him and his young prisoner of that
morning, he would have smiled his
grim Roman smile and perhaps
said, "Hmph! History will not be
interested. But if history wants to
know, it's on the record. had the
man executed. That settles it,
doesn't it 2" PLATE could not have
known that his own sole claim to
fame would be the fact that every
seven days, all over the world, in
hundreds of languages, men and
women would repeat the words al
most like a curse land in Jesus
Christ his only Son our Lord, who
suffered under Pontius Plate"

farce of a trial, Plate asked a
