Letter To The Editor

In true left-wing style, the
Editor of The Lexington Adver-
tiser, in her issue of May 18th,
made an untrue personal attack
upon the men and women who
opposed, at the meeting of May
oath, affiliation with the Ma
tional PTA, yet the editor
lodged the real issues of the
matter.
These issues are: 1. Is the
National PTA supporting the
United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organi-
cation, known as UNESCO?
2. Is the National PTA sup
porting racial integration in the
public schools of America?
In its own literature the Ma
tional PTA has answered these
questions:
1. On page 290 of the book
Where Children Come First
A Study of the PTA idea" by
Harry and Bonaro OverStreet,
and which was published by the
National PTA in 1857, it is
stated: In 1947, it (the Ma
tional PTA) pledged its sup
port to the United Nations and
Holmes County herald., 1960-06-02

statement: 1.-THE majority ma
chinery of the United Nations,
UNESCO, and similar organixa-
tons created on behalf of
world order, should be so great
w strengthened that no member
country, including the Soviet
TTr'on and IFS satellites, can
reftlSe to abide bv its power
hacked decisions. Particularly.
the right of a single member to
veto any such decision should
be outlawed as completely in.
defensible when judged by the
majority minority categories of
international democracy" (Bold
face mine).
3. It is true that in 1859,
after a number of local PTA
Associations in the South with
drew from the National PTA
because of its insistence upon
integrated education, that a
change was made in the word
ing of the last sentence of the
Nationals policy on integra-
ton, yet the present policy of
the National PTA, as appears on
pages as and 46 of Policies
and Practices is clearly in fav-
or of the Indignation of the pub
lie schools of America:
"U. S. Supreme Court Deci-
sion Regarding Segregation:
The United States Supreme
Court, in finding segregated
public schools unconstitutional,
has focused attention upon So
cial change that has been in
process for a long time.
The program of the National
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers has been and will be to
promote the welfare of all
children and youth in home,
school, church, and community.
Attainment of these detectives
is the responsibility of each
state congress. A program must
be developed in accordance
with state needs and in accord
ance with National Congress
policies.
Educational Indignation of diff
ferent races is proceeding rap
idly in some communities; it
will require a long transition
period in others.

other governmental authorities
in each community, to study
and pursue effective means of
working toward a just solution
to the complex problems of
segregation in the public
schools"
On page % of their above
book in Chapter I, styled THE
Social Impact" Harry and
Bonaro O%verstreet have the fol-
lowing to say regarding the
workers in the National PTA:
Without fanfare and without
banners they have managed to
perform a social miracle, that
of crossing all lines of class,
creed, and color to make a
united mind out of a divided
people,"
The Editor of The Advertiser
charges that many in Holmes
County are opposed to any
change. Our modern agricul-
tural, livestock, business and in
dustrial operations show such a.
charge to be untrue.
However, there are two
changes which it appears that
the people of this County are
opposed to, that is, the change
from local control of our pub
lie schools, which means free
dom, to international control,
which will mean slavery, and
also the change from a segreg-
ated society, which means racial
integrity, to an integrated So
ciety, which means inevitable
nter-marriage and mongreliza-
ton of the races.
If the Editor will confine
herself to the real issues of
this matter, it is to be hoped
lhat she will conclude that the
bringing of the influence of the
National PTA into our schools.
and to our children. is not to
the best interest of any of us.

Law Officer
Asks For Aid

w. O. Moore, Marshal of
Tchula, this week is making an
appeal to the public for CO.
operation in regard to traffic
violations. In a letter to The
Herald, Mr.. Moore wrote:
Dear Chester:
/ would like to use your won
derful paper to appeal to the
public, especially motorists, to
cooperate with the Law En-
lorcement Officer, in regard to
traffic violations. If the people
you'd report violations and be
sure to take the tag number OF
the car violating, we, as offic-
ers, would have something to
work on.
Very often someone will re-
port a drunk driver or some
other violation, but fail to get
the tag number, then we are at
a loss to have anything to
work ON.
A pencil and note book will
not cost over fifteen cents and
should be kept handy in each
car.
Please cooperate with us for
better law enforcement. Last
Sunday I had three reports,
two on drunk drivers and one
on a car following too close
to another and molesting the
driver. Neither one took the
tag number. I checked on these
reports, but was unable to 10
cate any OF them. If I had
been given the tag number, I
could, at least, have found the
owner of the cars.
Please help us to make driv
ing safer for all concerned.
w. O.. Moore
Thank you

Unveils ChennouIt Bust

TAIPEI, Formosa, April IA
(AP).-A life-sized bronze bust
of the late 1t. Gen. Claire l.

in the refugee capital of the
Nationalist Chinese govern
ment that the famed American
Flying Tiger fought for against
japanese invaders and Commu-

Gen. Chennault's petite Chi

was told, "It is the first time in
history that the Chinese have
erected a statue of a foreigner
on Chinese soil"
The only other public statue
standing on Nationalist-held
Formosa is that of President
Chang Kai-shek. The Chinese
usually do not follow the West

to dignitaries.
Gen. Emmett RoSy) ODon-
