Prince Edward Negroes
Told By NAACP Burden
Now Lies With Them
Ballot Box And
Economics Seen
Best Defense
BY BEN BOWERS

The burden now rests upon you,
We the NAACPl have carried it
through the courts said Oliver w.
Hill. chairman of the Virginia
NAACP legal staff, at mass meet
ing of o m 200 Negroes as
sembled in the New Hope Baptist
Church, Wednesday evening.
Hill, who said he had made the
same statement at the first state
wide meeting of the organization
after the Supreme Court decision
in 1854, called upon Prince Edward
Negroes to overcome the reaction
aries" in local government (refer-
ring to the board of supervisors
by getting on the voting books, not
by violence Four other top state
NAACP leaders sounded a similar
theme in speeches designed to
strengthen backing of the organiza-
TONS plans in the county.
ITO Think Together"
The meeting, called by the Mini
sterial Alliance of Farmville and
vicinity, to protest the action of the
county board Of supervisors in
abandoning tax funds for public
education, was presided over by
the Rev. L. Francis Griffin, pastor
of the First Baptist Church in
Farmville. He stated that the pur-
pose Of the meeting was to think
together on the stupid" action Of
the Board Of Supervisors" an ac-
ton we regard as an astounding
fact it did not happen before.
In opening his talk, lawyer Hill
told the group I'VE must examine
our stand and see what we are 60
ing to do about it, He denied that
blame for the Prince Edward de-
clsion was on the NAACP and the
Supreme Court as stated through
much news media in the state. He
said the whole trouble was right in
the county government.
Labeled Reactionaries
The people who control Prince
Edward county are a type known
as 'reactiOnaires' who must rule or
ruin, and never exercise any in
telligence to a new situation" de-
clared Hill Reactionaries have al
ways been the same, he commended.
He added it was reactionaries who
crucified Jesus Christ, who were
responsible for the unfair taxation
practices that led to the American
Revolution, and who caused h e
Civil War.
The audience drew their share of
the blame for the situation in the
schools of the county AS stupid as
the board of supervisors may be,
they wouldn't have closed schools
if you had shown the aggressive
ness YOU should have, exhorted the
NAACP official.
You are party right along
with the B GARD in closing the
schools because if you had done
what you should. there would be so
many of you on the county voting
books, they would have not dared
close the schools" continued the
legal spokesman.
The courts can do only so much.
it is the duty of individuals to see
that the people in government rep
resent YOU, observed Hill. The
Negroes were urged to say yes
when asked if they were behind the
indignation fight.
Vote For Lesser Of Evils
In discussing the forthcoming pri-
mary and the election in Novem-
Der, the group got this word from
Hill = Get out and vote for the
lesser of evils. V There ought to be
somebody in this election the lesser
Of evils, although | am sure there

STEP TOWARDS GOOD MUSIC
AN EXCELLENT beginning was made towards in
strlrnental music in the High. School here with the ap-
pointnent of Peter G. Thurland as Band Consultant.
Pessimists could have a holiday with endless criticism
OF the music situation on the whole and Of this last
move. They could, for example, complain that attention
has come too little and too late; that what the High
School needs is a full-time instructor and not a consul
tant, and that there needs to be a program, to begin
with, and on and on.
BUT WE ARE going to be grateful for small things,
hoping that bigger and better ones will come. The nam
ing Of Mr.. Thurland is a good one, and it could lead to
more of what is needed in the field of music in the High
School One thing that can be said for the appointment
IS that it is as good an appointment as could possibly
have been made. Through the years Mr.. Thurland has
exemplified a devotion to band music which IS almost
unparalleled in these parts. When all others gave up, he
went ahead, even with handful of men. His abilities
need not be rehearsed here for they are well known,
beginning with membership in the United States Navy
Band years ago.
WHAT THIS Island needs is more music, more
serious music. No group Of people can lay claim to real
culture without wanting a share ia the worlds great
music. We must know more Of it, hear more Of it, and
play more Of il. And the road to this goal begins in the
schools, especially the high schools.
WE LOOK forward to the day when the High
School here will have fine band, a glee club. and an
orchestra. and thus make it's contribution to the culture
Of these Islands. When that day comes we will need
more than consultants. We will need full-time people
whose devotion to that type Of culture is unquestioned.
Perhaps the next announcement will be that Mr.. Thur
land, and others, have joined the staff, and are working
towards the development Of music in all its phases.

CouIdn' Be
Done But

A few weeks back a story,
with map, appeared in one of
the daily papers urging pass
age of the County Charter. The
item pointed out that nothing
could be done about widening
West 130th ST., because the
three communities involved
wouldn't get together. A job
we must have Metro to accom-
plish.
Last week an item in the
same paper told how the
County Commissioners were
going to proceed with the job
in the spring.
1t has been pointed out that
people out in the county are
almost dying Of thirst because
the city cannot extend water
service to them. Only the
charter would save them.
Since then the Cleveland
water department has an
nounced plans for extending
two big water lines out into
the county.
Most things that should be
done CAN be done without the
charter.-C. E. B.

Women's Board Not Bored;
Civic Group Keeps Active

From time to time THE
LEADER runs articles about
the Women's Board of Huron
Road Hospital. For those who
would like more information
on that civic organization,
here's that information. The
object of The Women's Board
as defined in the bylaws is
"to promote the interests and
welfare of Huron Road Hospital
through volunteer service and
the maintance of good public
relations"
The Board is one of the oldest
hospital groups in the area
having been founded over 30
years ago. 1t has, for nine
years, operated a small Gift
Shop at the entrance to the
hospital lobby, and despite ex-
tremely limited space, its con-
tributions to the hospital and
to the Huron Road Hospital
School of Nursing have been
impressive.
In April of this year, further
service was extended to the
patients, staff and visitors by
the addition of a Gift Cart
which visits each floor each day
carrying a stock which varies
from jewelry to toothbrushes
1t became "The Woman's
Board Gift and Flower Shop"
Sept. 18th as it inaugurated
as a part of its service the
availability of fresh flowers
and planters.
A "first" in the Cleveland
area, this would not be possible
without the enthusiastic, whole
hearted cooperation Of the hos
pital administration, the board
of trustees and a civic minded
