came to the defense Of Governor Almond.
Now, we are faced with the reports again.
What we could not believe in November has
happened Virginia submitted to federal
power and her schools are ntegrated. Shall
we believe there is a political meaning be-
hind all of this mess?
The people OF Virginia dictated a policy
of resistance to the edicts Of the federal
courts The legislature of Virginia adopted
the policy in its Interposition Resolution,
and supplemented it with the school laws
of 1856. Governor Almond then attorney
general was as much a part of these laws
as any other person and Attorney General
Harrison sat in the Virginia Senate. The
laws were defense in depth. When they
were applied by the present administration
they became defense in liquidation The
only law applied as intended was the clos
ing of any schools ordered to be integrated.
No use was made of the public placement
law. Those laws providing means of reop-
enng schools were made useless by volun-
tarily tieing them up in the Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals.
We can imagine the pressures brought
upon the Governor, by every federal power,
judicial, economic and political. There is
evidence that economic pressures were APP
piled by Virginia business. None are good
excuses for not effectively using laws
passed by the General Assembly at the will
of the people.
Senator Byrd supported the people in
their stand Of resistance. According to
i. L 4
ministration's capitulation. If that is cause
for political upheaval in Virginia as seen
by these political observers, then Mr. Byrd
has little to fear. He has kept the faith with
the people, not only in this instance but in
a political career Of more than IS years.
AS events unfold we shall learn more Of
the facts which led to Virginia's unhappy
situation at present. The people Of Virginia
must be heard, and will speak in no uncer
tain voice.

A LEADERSHIP CRISIS

Virginia S turmoil is all inside.

surgery. He said he would take

Keeping Time

a wotch Or clock, keeps time, we soy
But is this really true2
IT seems to me, we can't keep time
No matter what we do.
A watch Or clock may measure time
As it speeds fast away;
But they can't keep bit Of it
To use some future day.
For time speeds On, the moments fly
In daytime and at night
And wotch or clock can't keep q bit
Or slow it in its flight.
Ne may keep cash that We might have
And store it sofe owoy
But time we have, we cannot keep
Once it has passed, ! say
a watch Of dock just measures time
And Of it may keep track,
But they can't keep q port Of it
Or slow or hold it back
No, time IS here little while,
A little while and then
No wotoh or clock can keep it so
We can use it again.

Future Farmers Of America

THIS week is national observance of the
Future Farmers of America, a nation
wide organization of young men enrolled
in vocational agriculture classes of the high
schools Launched at Kansas City in 1923,
originally incorporated by the State of Vir-
glna, FLA was granted national charter
in 1880 Today 1892 active members are
enrolled in 1908 chapters located in farm
ing areas throughout the 48 states, Hawaii
and Puerto Rico. Membership can be main
tanned for three years after graduation and
there are equally as many former members
now employed in agriculture or "agr-busi-
ness who maintain interest in the local
chapters Leaders are chosen from the
membership but the program is directed
by the Vocational Agriculture instructors.
Each member must have farming pro-
Jcct, or program, supervised BY the instruc-
tor. Thus, theory as taught in the classes is
put into actual practice through a simu-
lated on-the-job training method The mem
bers learn by doing.
In addition to the agricultural training,
the chapters provide a citizenship training.

rccreatlonal activities, scrap drives, safety

The social side of development is not
overlooked. Parent and son banquets, and
other social affairs are planned and eX-

fantastic ever to happen It is the
story of farm owner who tried
TO collect from his tenants. But
they beat up all his agents, one
after another. Finally the owner
sent his son. But this only stirred
the tenants to murder If we kill
the mans only son, they said to
each other. then the vineyard viii

Jesus ended his blunt, ugly tale
with a question. What will the
owner do next? His hearers knew.
The least the tenants could expect
would be to lose their places. But
more likely the owner would de-
sIoy them. Their murder would
come back on their own heads.
So much for the story itself. But
It was more than q story; that is,
there was meaning under it's sur
face It is on record that the lead

tale of brutality and madness, i'm
