Week End FallOf
Two Inches Ends
Long Dry Spell
July Weather
Pattern Similar
To Last Years

The Farmville area had a
little over two inches of rain
dumped on it during the week
end to the delight of everyone,
particularly the thirsty farmers.
A fall of .73 inches Friday
squashed a drought which had
held firm grip on area farm
ers since the second week in
July. Sunday evening added an
other .38 inches to provide that
extra moisture needed to bring
out tobacco. corn and pastures.

drop of two degrees from the
record 98 on Saturday. July %.
Below Normal Month
The last-minute July rains did
not bring the month up to the
normal average of five inches
for this area. but it did place
this July above that of a year
ago. The current rainfall added
to the 1.58 inches which fell be-
tween the 18th and 14th of the
month placed the months total
at 1863 inches. Last year the
July fall totaled only 3.37 inches
after dry June with 2.08
inches. However, last year the
rain did not come in spurts. but
was provided in an every-other-
day procession of mild showers.
Some areas got more of their
share of moisture than others
the latest weather reports show.
In Buckingham Court House, the
Sunday fall totaled rs inch
while six miles south in the
Andersonville area the gauge
hoped up to 25 inches.
Crops Helped
Crop-wise. the rains have been
very beneficial for tobacco: pas

weather is ideal for late silage

The request was in the leoa'
form of a petition to file a sup
elemental complaint in the long
standing case: a complaint that
county officials are frustrating
federal court orders by closing
public schools in the county.
Restraints Sought
If Judge Lewis authorizes the
formal filing of the complaint.
NAACP attorneys have stated
that their next move would be
reoneSts to the court for re-
straining orders to. az force
county supervisors to cease re-
.fusal to appropriate funds for
public schools. and 90 to pre-
vent the school board from sell
ing or e ing public school
buildings to any private group
or individuals.
Fridays arguments in n e
Federal Court at Richmond con
cerned chiefly the legality of
the NAACP move to get the
case back in the courts. Oliver
w. Hill, of Richmond, and S. w.
Tucker, of Emporia, NAACP at
torneys, argued that the county
must act because of earlier de-
segregation rulings against the
county by federal courts. As
long as the State of Virginia is

Edward county also must re-
main in the educational field.

Illustrate the orders Of this

Denny Arguments
Collins Denny, Jr., represent
ing the Prince Edward county
school board, argued that as far
as the federal courts are con
cerned. the desegregation ques-
ton has been settled.
He contended that with school
closing the racial element has
been removed from the ca e
thereby ending it's constitutional
issues about which the courts
must decide. The federal con
Stitution does not require the
operation of a school system,
Denny said.
The Richmond attorney re-
tanned by George w. Palmer,
the lone county school board
member who did not resign and
who has since been appointed to
a new four-year term, argued
that the question Of requiring
the county to reopen its schools
should be settled in Virginia
state courts.
The Virginia Constitution re-
quires the Commonwealth to
maintain a system of efficient
free schools, but no such obi
cation is imposed by the federal
Constitution.

plants, Judge Lewis would
