A Job To Do

DRINCE Edward School Foundation OPP
ened its schools on Thursday. with i'm
pressive ceremonies The press was here, as
was radio and televison. WF'LO furnished
time for the program so that al could hear
locally. Questions pertaining to the schools
were propounded and answered simply and
factualy so far as possible in an hour long
news conference. The story was SO simple
that little of sensational news value turned
up. May we compliment the officers of the
Foundation for the preparation and eXecu-
ton Of program superb in its simplicity
and clarity. And the people Of Prince Ed
ward County for their courtesy to visiting
newsmen and photographers.
AS we warned several months ago, opin-
ions both pro and con will be expressed ma
tiohally and possibly the tide Of criticism
will swirl about Prince Edward County in
days ahead. 1t is coming to pass. Some Of
the national press and media will continue
to misunderstood Prince Edward County's
position. Moves are under consideration BIZ
the NAACP legal staff. Federal office
holders in high places will misunderstood
and misinterpret the simple facts of life in
the County.
We need not belabor the situation here,
as most of the readers of The Herald are
familiar with the developments Of the past
few years and the past few months. Suffice

# ia saw that education will continue in
Prince Edward County for the white chill
dren, and education can be provided to the
Negro children when the NAACP-leaders
will allow it to be done Powerful forces
NAV attempt to force ntegrated puDllc
schools in the County, in which case there
will be a greater call for sef-control tor
clear thinking and courteous relationships
one to another The road ahead may be
rocky = the demeanor of all citizens, white
and Negro will finally determine whether
\ solution can be found to the problem or
not. The problem is larger than Prince Ed
ward County, the principles are greater
than public education, as important as that
is. and the ultimate solution may lie IN
the hands Of the people Of this county.
Reprinted on this page is an editorial
from the Richmond News Leader Of Sep
TENDER p which appears to us to sum up
the situation in Prince Edward County.
The people Of the county have one big Job
namely to operate successfully the private
* supported school system. That is about
all they will have time for in the days
ahead There is no time to argue, to crit
icize, to fuss Work has to be done - the
educative process must be continued for
those who really want it. To that end may
we bend our efforts.

Letters To- Editor
Play By The Rules
To Be Fair
Editor Of Herald:

Editor of Herald:
: Recently at "a Home sDemonstra-'
ton Club meeting we were discuss
ing informally the exhibit we would
have at the Five County Fair this
year and exhibits in general. v we
concluded that either many persons
do not take the trouble to read the
rules governing exhibits or else =
but l shall not put the alternative
into words.
These rules found on pages 4
and 9 Of the current Fair catalogl
are the especial ones we had in
mind:
go All agricultural, garden or
fruit products must have been
grown by the exhibitors during the
year
must be made or grown within the
fair year and must represent the
work Of the exhibitor
rs. All Club, FLA, and tn e
Future Homemaker' entries must
be selected from the members
project"
These rules have been in effect
for years. Yet two of Us at the
meeting that morning knew Of a
number Of separate violations with
in the past few years a home
maker entering the second year the
same article she had exhibited the
year before, All entries of items
not made by the members, an
H'FA boy collecting his neighbors'
finest specimens Of crops and gar
den produced for this exhibit al the
Fair a baked product made BY
one FLA girl and entered at the
Far under another members name.

AFTERWORD ON PRINCE EDWARD

all If the Negro people are unWlll-
ing to make an effort. this Is no
fault of the Prince Edward Edu-
cational Foundation.
We do not presume to understand
why Prince Edward Negroes have
neglected responsibility the white
parents have assumed The expla
nation given in the county is that
every time two or three Negroes
have so much as ventured ges-
ture toward obtaining a tuition grant
or organizing a private school, the
National Association for the Adj
vancement Of Colored People
through its local leadership, h a 5
put a foot down 1t is said that the
NAACP would rather see these
700 Negro children have no edu-
cation. than to see them educated
in private schools established by
members of their own race They
make better martyrs that way If
this be true. then the blame tor
the plight Of these cOlored children
falls not on the courts. and not on
the county government and not on
the white parents. but squarely on
the NAACP
Perhaps Roy Wilkins would like
to comment on this. We would be
happy to have a letter from him
explaining what his national associa
ton has done for the advancement
Of the colored children Of Prince
Edward County this Fall. If the
NAACP has encouraged the Negro
parents to show some initiative. APP
ply for n-discriminatory tuition
grants, and educate their own sons
and daughters Mr. wilkins surely
will want to say so.

For the past few days. charges
have been flying about that Prince
Edward County has denied its
Negro children an education and
deprived them of their right to
free schools" Welfare Secretary

treatment Of the Negroes as in
defensible Liberal commentators
on television are doing their. Ivy
League worst to make it appear
that the county has defied the law
and scandalously trampled upon the
poor colored children
Let us set the record straight.
Prince Edward County has not
defied any order of any court any
where, from the Supreme Court on
down. The county was put under
orders by the courts to do one
thing, and one thing only The
county was directed not to deny
any cOlored student admission to
the county's public schools solely
by reason of the students race.
Prince Edward County stands today
in a position of absolute obedience
to that order The county is not
denying any Negro child any right
or facility or benefit offered any
white child
When the county. through its es-
tabliShed government. decided to
abandon public schools. all citizens
of the county became equally free
to go their own way

THE BABSON SYSTEM OF INVESTING

Impotence to buy or to sell is
equally important in selecting def
mite stocks At times investors are
more impatient to buy some special
popular stock than to buy some
other less popular but safer stock.
This means that an investor should
especially study volume. remem-
bering that in bear market the
volume signifies one thing, while in
a bull" market it signifies another
thing Let me say that for a profit
the Babson System demands the
purchase or sale of active stocks
as these will show the greatest in
crease in a bull market. On the
other hand. these same very active
stocks will decline the most in a
bear market When the odds are
$3.50. then the investor must do
some guessing or remain out of the
market.
What About Bonds?
We have not discussed bonds to-
day in this column. Bonds have a
maturity factor which stocks do not
have. Also. when buying preferred
stocks the investor should be sure
that they are noncallable and their
three factors have to be considered.
But when studying bonds or pre-
ferred stocks, a fourth factor is
necessary. This complexities the
situation.
For those who are expecting me
to make specific recommendations
advise against now purchasing
the present popular "electronic"
and space" stocks. but prefer.
safe growth stocks. These today are
the chemicals for profit. and the
public utilities for income.

Many have asked what is my def

to put this down in writing because
it is easier to explain than to per-

OF three constantly changing FAC

separate cycles. Most investment
advisers forget that each com

family has its own special cycle
There are hundreds Of these cycles,
but we take about fifty and OBJ

them reach their low points at the

different cycles we're drawn one
over the other every month. then
when most Of the cycles were at
their low point that. according to
the Cycle Theory, is the time to IN

OF which are very important.
