counties. 1t is the policy to continue to offer
this opportunity regardless Of the economic
ability of the individual parent to contri-
butte, or, if determined, to pay tuition.
Moral financial, and enthusiastic support
has been given to the independent system
of schools now functioning in Prince Ed
ward County. Teachers, parents and pupils
have expressed their approval in no un-
certain terms.
For good and sufficient reasons The
School Foundation can not delay in
definitely in its plans for the coming years.
Ultimately more school buildings are to
be built, which require short range and long
range planning.
We believe that system of Independent
schools will be operated in Prince Edward
County so long as there exists no means to
operate racially separate public schools.
The people Of Prince Edward have
shown that they are capable of organizing,
providing and operating adequate educa-
ticnal facilities for their white children
and have offered their assistance to &C.
compish the same for the Negro children
1t is not and never has been their desire to
deprive any child of the opportunity Of an
education, and their every action has con.
formed to the laws of the State of Virginia
The Foundation will continue to act within
the framework Of the laws of Virginia
and in our opinion it will continue to pro.
vide an acceptable type Of education for
all the white children of the county.

Jesus Teachings vs.. Communism
Seldom do ask followers of nv
column to read anything: but l do
ask you to read today Jesus Ser
mon on the Mount las found in the
nth chapter of Matthew and re-
late 1t to our present mode of life.
1t agrees pretty well with the Com
munsts' goal of taking care of their
less fortunate people and seeing that
all are fed, housed, and clothed
and that those who are qualified
nave proper education, etc. Jesus
also warned against wealth as a
handicap to proper living. Ger
talnly. Jesus would heartily approve
the desire of President Eisenhower
to help backward nations and un-
fortunate people.

changes should come about volun-
tarily and not by force. The wicked
massacres by the Communists in
Hungary and other countries.
merely to eliminate private prop
erty, would certainly be considered
outright murder by Jesus. repeat
that Jesus would insist that the re-
forms be voluntary and that men
should let God (who, He said, is a
Spirit do the Furnishing. In order
tor me to take Premier Khrushchey
seriously in his purported respect
Tor the Sermon on the Mount" he
would have to raise the iron curtain
full length and stop prosecuting any
people. However, because Khrush-

why we should be lax in practicing
the teachings of Jesus In his Sermon
on the Mount.

Letters To Editor
Trade One Dollar
For Thirty Cents
Editor, Farmville Herald:

Editor, Farmville Herald:
Because I have been somewhat
extravagant, l find that I am run
ming short of funds and I am there
fore asking the people of Prince Ed
ward County to please help me to
get more dollars to spend on some
things l have in mind to buy.
If you will help me, make you
this proposition. For every dollar
get from you, will give you back
thirty cents. One reason why can't
offer to give more back to you is
because it will cost me consider
able to : keep track of what may
get from you. I will have to hire
collectors and bookkeepers and etc
I suppose that. when you have
read this far, you will begin to
think that old Doc is losing his
mind and yet it seems to me that I
am only doing what our great hon.
orable Governor Almond is trying
to do. It appears from what l have
been reading about Almonds pro-
posed State Sales Tax that he is
strongly recommending. he in eff
feet. is advocating that we permit
the state to take our dollars from us
through sales taxes and then gener-
ously give back to us thirty cents
from each dollar they have taken
from u.s.
If you are gullible enough to con-
slider my proposition a fair one,
please let me have your dollars
without delay. thank you for the
consideration you may see fit to
give to my proposition.

Future School Planning

DRINCE Edward School Foundation has
asked the School Board to offer the
Farmville High School building for sale
as surplus property, and expressed an
interest in purchasing the property.
In order to keep this request in focus
let's review certain facts leading to the re-
quest.
Cd Prince Edward County's public
schools are closed The public school
property lies idle. By court decisions and
court orders Prince Edward public schools
must be racially desegregated (integrated)
beginning September 1859.
(2) The vast majority Of white people
in Prince Edward County are unwilling to
pay taxes for racially integrated schools.
(3) The Prince Edward School Foun-
dation has provided adequate education
for the white children through the use of
private facilities this session.
(4) Southside Schools, Inc, desiring
to aid the Negro children of the County,
was organized to assist in establishing an
independent system of schools for them.
1t is disappointing that their good and
sincere offers were not accepted by the
Negro people Of the County.
60 The Prince Edward School Foun-
dation is now preparing its plans for the
next session. Use of the Farmville High
School building is one Of the important
factors in these plans. A building designed
and suitable for education at the high
school level is desirable Immediately in
the long range plans for permanently
established independent schools.
Should the Prince Edward School
Board offer this building for sale? We be-
ieve the Board should plan for its sale.
% Occupation Of the building for
education use by the County in the foresee-
able future is extremely doubtful The
building remaining unoccupied, increases
the rate of depreciation and deterioration.
~ Prince Edward School foundation
would use the building for the purpose for
which it was built, namely, the education
of the white children Of Prince Edward
County
60 Prince Edward School Foundation
and its patrons compose the white parents
of the County, who are also taxpayers and
nave pdiu IoI the very Dullulng tnev now
request the school board to make available
for the purpose for which it was originally
built and paid for
(4) Being successful in purchasing the
!: building, the people would put it to the
use for which it was originally designed.
(5) These and many more reasons
could be cited in support Of cur affirmative
opinion
The schools operated by the Prince
Edward School Foundation offer an OPP
portunlty Of education to every white child
in the County, and some in adjacent
