The school crisis arose FRI
day only a few hours after
Federal District Judge John
Paul ordered the enrolment
in all-white Galax High School

the city school, the Galax
School Board promptly closed

students from Oldtown district
who had attended Galax High
under a city-county contract.
Petitions were being circu-
lated in Galax and Grayson
County today demanding that
the school board rescind its &C.
ton and that the County SUI
pervisors take all necessary

Judge Paul's order from Judge
Sobelof were made public by
Stuart B. Campbell of Wythe-
vile. attorney for the County
School Board. He will be joined
in the trip to Baltimore by
Alton I. Crowell, Galax School
Board attorney.
Mr.. Campbell said Judge Paul
had been asked for the stay
Friday night, but had refused.
He said the desegregation order
definitely" would be appealed.
Approximately 285 white stu
dents who attend Galax High
from the Oldtown district were
told by school authorities Fri
day afternoon that they could
not return when classes resume
on Monday mornings.
The county-operated school
closest to Galax-which these
students apparently must now
attend is at independence,
some Is miles from here.
Judge Paul had ruled August

be admitted to a white school

Some four hundred persons
gathered at Accident Elementary

the Republican rally which con-
Guided an all day tour of the area
for Charles Nice. Matthias, Re
publican candidate for Congress.
Featured speaker other than Mr.
Matthias, was Reed Benson, son of
the Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra
Benson, who outlined the farm
programs of both presidential
candidates clearly and pointed out
the dangers of the socialistic pro-
gram of the Democratic candidate.
He was received enthusiastically
Mr.. Benson. a law student at
Cornell university, appeared to
have immediate communication
with his audience and eXpounded
for almost an hour on agriculture
problems of the nation.
He explained in detail how per-
sons other than farmers had gone
into the farm business when price
supports were high, and were the
first to holler when the government
made plans to lower these sup
ports. He declared many of the
ills the farmers we're in today
was because of the present laws
on the books passed in previous
administrations and because non
farmers in the main were the ones
taking advantage of those laws
which were designed primarily for
the real farmers. He said many
of these Would-be farmers today
were the ones making money on
the soil bank program by taking
out of production many acres not
in production to begin with.
But the speaker was emphatic in
the farm programs of the two
parties and said that it was the
program of the Republican party

No Frost Yet

Miraculously, there has been no
killing frost on the mountain top
up to the present time. There are
a few scattered spots where the
fog failed to settle upon one or
two occasions when the thermome-
ter was low enough to frost, and
these places were nipped.
But generally the county has
been frost-free. AS far as records
show, there never has been a time
when the frost has held off this
long.
There was some sprinkling of
rain on Saturday and a fairly
steady doWnpour on Sunday. The
balance of the week has been most
ly fair and moderate.
