What To Expect

NEWSMEN from all media-newspapers
television and radio-possibly fifty of
them, will be in Farmville next Thursday
to cover the opening Of private schools.
They will come from Virginia, nearby
states and northern states
There are many types of newsmen. Some
will cover the story effectively, reporting
happenings as such. Some will be looking
for a sensational angle of the story. All OF
them will be as busy as bees in an effort to
scoop their competitors. to get the story
out first to develop readable story for an
interested public. Please keep these ohjec-
tves of newsman in mind next week.
Last year at Front Royal there were more
than so newsmen covering the opening of
the private high school there. They not only
got the story out, but interviewed people
on the street, clerks and customers in the
stores, in their efforts to get the feel of
the community. No doubt some reporters
will be insistent. will ask leading questions
and will make surmses 1t is their Job to

Fifty news reporters make a formidable
force in a town the size of Farmville. Of
fcials of the private schools plan to make
available to them all of the information
possible pertaining to the functioning Of
the private school system. The townspeople
who will meet them in the ordinary routine
of the days work vii show them the usual
courtesy characteristic of Farmville. BY the
same token it is expected that the visitors
will consider themselves as such.
During the past eight years our people
both white and colored have conducted
themselves in an admirable manner regard
less of the divergence of opinions. May we
suggest that temperance in words, acts and
deeds be practiced in the days and weeks
ahead as solution to the present dilemma
is sought
On next Thursday Farmville must look
its best act with deliberate firmness, and
be courteous and considerate to visitors and
to each other Be careful with your words
and you will never have to take them back.
