The World And All That's Within

"A milan stars are in the sky,
A million planets plunge and die
A million million men are sped
A million million wait ahead. :
The bang that may blow the world
up is population. It is exploding like
mad and especially in protein de-
ficient Southeast Asia. At this rate
there'll be no standing room, and
long before then no eating facilities
The economist Nautilus Cl766- 1884 J
fused to say that since population
increases in geometrical ratio and
subsistence in only arithmetical
ratio there is no hope this side Of
general massacre.
Or its equivalent in famine, dis
ease and war.
Only with disasters to kill off
stable percentages Of the world 5
population every now and then could
the world hope to take economic
care of itself, he thought.
But disaster isn't being disastrous
enough unless we can have an
atomic war. In spite of millions
dead in two world wars, there are
proportionately more millions re-
naming, with science swelling them
with increased life spans.
Yet man in his Wanting ambition
IS proposing to dominate other
planets and to have not only enough
to eat but two cars in every garage,
hi-fi and stereo everywhere, free
dom from every mortal discomfort,
access to every mortal joy
We think this much of our scien-
lists and their ability to provide. We
think that even if population is con-
t n tt ~ outrunning subsistence,
science and ingenuity will con
stantly outrun population.
And with this in mind we have
looked hopefully this week in Birm-
ingham at planned expeditions for
making the most Of a Planet Earth
whose surface we have only just
managed to scratch after all the
years Of running about on it. We
look for food resources deep under
the seas. We propose by nuclear
explosion to free immense quaint
ties Of oil and mineral reserves now
unattainable, to tap underground
sources of heat. power and water.
We have Deep Hole Project
better known as "Moho to bore
through the earth's crust below the
ocean floor and into the unknown
beneath. We have a project for
mapping the ocean bottoms and ex-
panding the undersea food re-
sources to feed over populated, pro-
tein-deficient Southeast Asia.
Is it of interest to other planets
that we are taking ours to pieces
to see what's in it and extract what
may be Of use?

Still Going In Hole

IRON Washington comes word that the
Y. S. Treasury will seek from Congress,
new debt limit. The present limit on the
National Debt is 1888 billions
This is an interesting development, since
in his budget message, President Eisenhow-
er said he would ask for permanent cell
ing of two hundred and eighty-five billion
dollars on the National Debt Thus the pic
ture has changed, approximately five bill
lion dollars.
This is bad news, Judged by any stand
ard and it is especially depressing when
one realizes that the present temporary
limit Of 1888, 1000, 900 will automatically
revert to S283,O00, 900, 900 on June 3Oth UNI
less other legislation is passed.
The idea behind the automatic reduction
was - year ago - that by this time we
would be able to operate with a maximum
ceiling Of s283OOO 100000 on the National
Debt. But instead of maintaining the tenn
porary increase, the Treasury Department
is now going to ask for a limit some $1,000
100000 higher than the temporary limit
which was permitted by Congressional ac-
ton in 1858.

Some years ago they sold

With disappearing looks.
Though times and ways keep changing,

Perhaps it's human noture

Our boys will keep On shooting
Because they're built thot way.

Thot in them has deep root.
So let them play at shooting
And shoot and shoot and shoot

Strong Country

used of nations today, the meaning

which to prepare for the continuation Of
education in the county.
Profiting from the experience of Warren
County, whose schools We're closed last Sep
TENDER almost without warning and whose
schools remained closed through failure of
the administration to reopen them under
Virginia laws;
Mindful of the precipitate action Of the
Virginia legislature on January 80, 1859,
and the administration in surrendering to
orders Of the federal courts, leaving Nor
folk and Arlington practically without de-
Tense with no plans for operation of the
schools except as racially integrated
schools;
Insecure in the Iaus passed (yet to be
published) by the legislature which adopt
ed the Perrow Commission plan by very
small majority following unprecedented
legislative maneuvering:
Conscious of the tenor of the federal
courts, particularly the Fourth Circuit Fed
eral Court, which on appeal by the NAACP
on May 5, 1859, reversed the judicial dec-

to the educational process due to the MAJ
CPS continued pressure upon the federal
courts;
The Board of Supervisors had little choice
in its action withholding county funds for
public schools from the proposed budget
the coming year.
1t is quite true that the Prince Edward
school board, assuming its duty as such,
and its attorneys, will appeal the decision
of the Fourth Circuit Court and ask for
stay of the order There is little hope and
no assurance that relief will be had, in light
of experience in Norfolk and Arlington
where similar pleas were denied, leaving
both localities in an unenviable position
sofar as continued operation of racially
segregated public schools was concerned
These pleas were denied in the middle of a
school year adding to the urgency of the
situation. Only in the case of Charlottes-
vile was any consideration given and
stay granted, and only then upon the IN
failing promise of those in authority that
Charlottesville public schools would be in

choice only of integrated public schools, or

Seeking A Solution

and mindful of the often expressed opn-
ions and filed petitions from the people of
the county, the Board Of Supervisors took
the only course open to them refusing to
budget funds for public schools and in an
nouncing their intention of reducing the
county levy accordingly.
Faced with this situation, the Prince Ed
ward School Foundation, which was organ
lied in 1866 for the purpose of providing
education for the children Of the county
began to put into execution the plans which
have been developed to meet such an emery
ency. A fund Of $25OOOO or $500, 900 is be-
ing actively solicited throughout the County
for the operation of schools for white pu-
pills next year By the reduction of the tax
levy, reservoir of approximately $780,
900 remains in the hands Of the white peo-
pie in lieu of taxes. In addition, substan-
tial amount is coming forth from donations
to the Foundation from the people Of the
County and from donors outside Of the
county
The Foundation has we'll over two months
to complete the standby plans drawn sew
eral years ago
There are imponderabes in the future
which may be settled as time goes on. At
present not even the mostserudite are able
to give positive answers, and few will haz-
ard a guess. The future of education in Vir-
ginia may we'll be influenced by political
developments of the July election The Vir-
ginia legislature will meet again in January
and as unsettled as this issue is, could we'll
make many changes in present Virginia
laws.
The present Virginia laws Of the Perrow
Commission Plan are subject to litigation
and court interpretations, all of4whch pro-
duce an unsettled condition for public edu-
cation in Virginia
Private schools are being established in
Charlottesville where public schools will
be integrated next Fall Parents wishing
and able can use this facility In Prince Ed
ward County education is to be provided
for all white children, to share and share
alike through the support Of the people
to the Prince Edward School Foundation.
We have faith in the people of Prince Ed
ward that they will find ways and means
Of continuing education for their children
The disruption of public education in the
County is not the choice nor the desire of a
vast majority of it's citizens, and we look
forward with faith to the time when per-
manent and just settlement of this grave
matter will have come. The first steps may
have been forced upon our people now. We
must stand resolutely or supnely submit to
intoerabe conditions

Open Fishing Pond
Near Miles City

Stocked with 1000 six-inch OF
better rainbow trout, the recently
completed Miles City Fish POND
opened to fishing Sunday, June
IA.
Forest Keller, assistant super
intendent of fisheries in charge
of hatchery operations, reported
that all stocked trout were taken
from the Bluewater state hatch
cry near Fromberg. If this plant
proves successful, additional trout
will be stocked in the pond from
time to time during the fishing
season.
The pond is located just West
of Miles City and will provide
rainbow trout fishing to eastern
state anglers who otherwise
would have to drive many miles
to rainbow trout streams, Keller
said.
The fish and game commission
ruled that no motorboats will be
permitted or swimming allowed
in the pond.
