Board Adopts
Two Laws To Aid
Private Schools
Tax Credit $3.50;
Pupils To Get
At Least 500

The Prince Edward board Of
supervisors adopted into law
two ordinances that will aid the
immediate development of pri-
vate schools in the county.
The tuition grant law provides
from county funds. at least 500
for each child of school ege in
the county, who is enrolled in
school. The other law provides
that county taxpayers may do
nate to a private school organi-
cation up to Is per cent of their
re a and personal property
taxes.
This action came Monday
morning at an adjourned meet
ing of the supervisors as they
announced June %. The ordi-
nances have been published in
full. and will be published in
full again in The Herald on Fri
day
The two local ordinaces were
adopted under the State law.
which permits a county to take
this action if it wishes. The State
laws became effective June 27
and the supervisors had to wait
until now to adopt the law. which
will become effective August g..
500 Per Child
The county grant ordinance
specifies how the $270,00O item
in the years proposed expendi-
ture outline for educational
purposes is to be spent. 1t pro
vides a grant of 500 to the par
ent or guardian of every child,
white or colored enrolled in pri-
vate schools in the county or in
public schools outside t h e
county.
The only private school now
established in the county is the
Prince Edward School Founda-
ton. This Foundation has an
nounced tuition charges of S245
for elementary pupils and S265
for high school students. T h
state provides grants of $l25 for
all elementary pupils and $50
for high school students. T h e
state grant plus the county grant
thus adds up to at least $245
for elementary pupils and $3.50
for high school pupils The new
Prince Edward law provides
that the amount of the grant
may be increased in the dis
erection of the Board of Super
visors by resolution adopted on
or before the end of any fiscal
year." This apparently means
the board of supervisors can in
crease the amount of the local
grant to cover the entire cost
of private school education.)
Parents or guardians will
make application for the grant
on forms to be provided by the
board, and they must make an
oath as to the facts outlined.
The supervisors will then pay
not more than one-half of the
grant by October Is, and the
remainder at such me as
deemed proper, but not later
than May 81.
Penalties are provided by law
for parents or guardians max
ing false statements, or using
the funds for purposes Of h +
than education.

brought the best in musical en-
tertainment to local audiences.
Each year one week is set aside
for a membership campaign dur
ing which everyone is invited to
join, at the nominal cost of $500.
After the close Of the membership
campaign, no additional tickets are
sold, and no single admissions are
available during the concert sea-
son. Four concerts are presented
each season, chosen by a special
committee whose goal is to ar
range for a variety of programs
to suit all tastes as. expressed by
subscribers during the member
ship campaign. The entire funds
realized from the campaign are
used to procure the artists and to
defray the necessary operational
expenses.
OF great interest to prospective
members of the association is it's
signing of the Robert jeffrey Bal
let with Orchestra as one of next
seasons principal attractions. jeff
rey is a leading danseur, teacher,
photographer and he has as
sembled in his troupe a group of
25 top-flight dance artists. They
will present a delightful program,
beautifully staged and colorfully
costumed. This program promises
to be equally as enjoyable as the
highly successful appearance a
few years ago of the Chicago Opera
Ballet, which was so favorably re-
ceived.

theological Warfare

THEOLOGICAL warfare is great big
word" Stripped of its jaw-crack-
ing propensities it means propaganda,
which is a modern attack to gain or con-
troll the minds Of men. The Communists
use it effectively in their brainwashing
technique. Their method is to confront
the victim with distorted statements,
leading to confusions through prolong-
ed and constant interrogation and final
~ the break. The subject, thoroughly
confused admits guilt and purges him
self through statements dictated by the
Communists These statements are used
to make propaganda and theological
warfare
Mr.. Khrushchey has made much out
of the U2 incident when an American
pilot landed in Russia. The United
States was accused of aerial espionage.
Mr.. K has forgotten that he has the
greatest spy system in the world, that
Communist spies have been arrested in
many countries. Yet he latches on this
ing in Paris, and has the audacity to
attend the L. n. and invite all of his
satellites. He withdrew the invitation
to President Eisenhower for return
visit to Russia and makes propaganda
Of being restricted to Manhatten Island
While on an unlimited visit to the L. n.
Assembly. His purpose is to scuttle the
United Nations, or to gain control of
it. This is theological warfare
Mr. Khrushchev has established
Communist base in Cuba, through de-
sign and intrigue and now dares the
United States to touch Cuba or his
puppet Castro. Yet he holds numerous
countries, Hungary in particular, under
state Of armed seige and control.
Mr.. khrushchev condemns the United
Nation policies in the Congo, vet he had
Communist troops in the Congo and
Communist infiltrators in the Lumumbo
government. These troops and spies
were recalled on the eve Of the u. N.
Conference long enough for Mr.. K to
lambast the United Nations Unless he
IS successful in scuttling or controlling
the Y. n. we may see these troops and
spies returned to the Congo on some
kind of a ruse for the freedom" of the
Congonese, in which case it will mean
Russian domination of Africa equal to
the Russian domination of Hungary.

free men throughout the world. The

CECRETARY of Health, Welfare and
n Education Arthur S. Flemming took
occasion Thursday to criticize Prince
Edward County. "The situation :, it
seems to me, is indefensible 1t is
contrary to American beliefs and prin-
ciples", said the secretary.
Prince Edward County's position is
defensible, and it will be defended with
all Of the vigor and intelligence Of
which constitutional lawyers are cap
able. 1t is not contrary to American be-
liefs and principles when a people
stand for the principles set forth in
the Constitution Of the United States.
Flemming's blast is a designed at
tempt to make propaganda against
Prince Edward County. 1t may be an
opening gun in a propaganda effort
The people of Prince Edward appear
to know what they are doing and intent
upon carrying through their efforts to
produce a solution Of the dilemma
caused by a Federal judiciary more
intent upon social changes than con-
stitutional principles. Let Prince Ed
ward be heard before being damned.
