FARMVILLE, Va, April 81
Prince Edward leaders today
vowed to continue their fight
against school desegregation,
but said they will not violate
any specific orders which Fed
eral courts may issue.
Referring action by the JUS
tice Department which yester-
day sought an injunction to
deprive all Virginia schools of
State funds as long as those IN
Prince Sdward remain closed,
school board chairman w. E.
Smith declared:
We're going to do what the
court orders us to do. We have
no idea of defying it. If it tells
us to operate the schools and
we have the money to operate
them, there is nothing else we
can do. It's ou tof our hands
now"
But he noted that the board
would be powerless to restore
public education in the county
unless the board of supervisors
provides necessary fund. 1t

Fairfax Calls
Hearing on
School Shift
BY JOHN LAWSON
Star Staff Writer

Fairfax County Supervisor
William H. Moss set out once
again yesterday to convince su-
perviSorS and the school board
that school construction ought
to be placed under county su-
perviSion.
The proposal, which has been
abandoned on several occasions
in the last few years, at least
will get as far as a public hear
ing this year.
The supervisors voted, 4 to
3. to hold the public hearing
on May 10 and indicated they
would not vote on Mr.. Moss
proposal until then.
Indications were that the
suggestion might have a better
chance of succeeding this time.
The supervisors have at times
been critical of the way school
buildings have been planned
and the way in which school
bond money has been spent.
Mr.. Moss pointed out yester-
day that the school board en-
ploys ia persons on conStruc-
ton and maintenance work and
an additional 33 persons for
supervision of grounds.
The boards employment of
construction employees lis not
consistent with a good school
program, he said. Once the
schools have been designed and
are ready for bids, they should
go to the Department Of Public
Works, he added.
The proposal drew a Skeptical
response from School Board
Chairman Theodore S. Heriot.
He said he did not want to
criticize the suggestion but
pointed out that school con-
Struction is not like putting up
any other building. Schools
must be co-ordinated with the
inStructional department .
they must be approved by the
State Department Of Educa-
ton"
IF you transfer school en-
ployes to the county, where's
the savings?" he asked.
School Supt. w. T. Woodson
said he didn't want to get in
volved in any controversy that
might arise over the move but
added:
1T occurs to me that we have
built more than 100 schools and
spent over $160 million and we
haven't had anywhere near the
controversy they had over the
hospital and the addition to
the courthouse"
Under the proposal by Mr..
Moss, present employees in the
construction and maintenance
departments of the school ad-
ministration would be absorbed
into the Department of Public
Works.
The transfer would be grad
ual, Mr.. Moss said, but would
be completed by next January.
Mr.. Moss motion that the
supervisors request" transfer
OF the construction and main
tenance programs was not
acted upon. The public hear
ing was set instead.
Legally, the school board has
sole responsibility for these
functions, supervisors said after
the meeting, and could not be
forced to turn them over to
the county.
The same proposal was
brought up by Mr.. Moss and
Board Chairman Anne wilkins
a year ago. Supervisors voted
to turn it over to an efficiency
expert. Several years ago the
suggestion was shelved because
the Department Of Public
Works was unable to handle
the additional work.

industrial Ballads

Folk song collectors will
enjoy a Vanguard record,
Evan MacColl Sings British
Industrial Ballads. Using a
light dialect in the proper
places, this Scottish singer
captures the spirit of the
songs.
They have to do with the
plight of the weavers, coal
miners and railroad workers,
largely in the unenlightened
days before economic prog
ress. Such titles as The Blan-
tyre Explosion, Fourpence a
Day, Poor Paddy Works on
the Railway, Goshen Bailey's
Engine and the Durham
Strike illustrate the subject
matter.
MacColl is assisted by Peg
gy Seeger, guitarist and ban
joist. BY interspersing the
more tragic ballads with
lively, humorous ditties, the
singer presents a well-bal-
anced and absorbing program.
Worth owning If you are a
folk fan.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
Holy Year Coins

Every Is years a Holy Year
or Papal Jubilee is celebrated.
During this period pilgrims
from all parts of the world
go to Rome to take part in
the ceremonies.
Pope Boniface VIII pro-
claimed the first Holy Year
in 1900. On February % Of
that year he issued a bull
calling on the faithful to
visit Rome, confess their sins
and receive the blessings of
the Pope. More than 2 mil
lion pilgrims are reported to
have attended the first Jubi-
lee.
The name Jubilee" comes
from the Hebrew word for
the rams horn used to an
nounce a celebration. Moses
is credited with fixing the
celebration of one year in
each so during which slaves
were freed and debts can
celed.
Pope Boniface celebrated
the Holy Year by the cancel
lation Of spiritual debts and
the granting of indulgences.
He also decreed that a Holy
Year be celebrated every 100
years.

1t is expected to be one

April 7, World Health Day,

types will also adequately
serve the purpose.
Fast Lens Helps
Whatever the camera used,
a fast lens will make shoot
ing a lot easier when the
light is really dim. A maxi
mum aperture Of fI2.8 is al
most a must; faster lenses
Of f/2, f/1.9, or even greater
speed help just that much
more. It's fine when prevail
ing light conditions allow
openings of ia; f/5.6, or even
smaller to be used, but there
will be times when dimly-
Illuminated subjects will call
for all available lens speed
if the picture is not to be
missed.
Many available light shots
are made at relatively slow
shutter speeds where the
slightest jar or camera move
ment at the instant of expo
sure will take the edge off
the finest lens image. The
shutter release must be
squeezed not punched or
jabbed. for steady shooting.
A steady, firm grip on the
camera is also needed. Lots
Of practice with an empty
camera is the answer to these
two problems.
Along this same line, you
will find that the skillful
use of an accurate, sensitive
exposure meter is a real
must. whether it is the built
in type mounted right in the
camera or a separate piece
of equipment. The unpre-
dictable world of available
light allows little room for
guesswork in calculating cor
rect exposure; a thorough
working knowledge of good
meter technique is a prere-
quisite for consistently we'll
exposed negatives or trans
parencies.
In many cases a fast film
such as Tri-X with its speed
of 400 will help you over the
hump if your lens is not fast
enough to cope with a stu
alton.

Lighting
BY A. ]. WEDDERBURN
Contributing Writer

Quite often we will notice
a particular scene that
leaves an impression that it
would make a good subject
for a photograph-juSt as it
iS-nothing added, nothing
taken away. When you run
across such a subject take
the picture just as you see
it, especially with regard to
the existing or available
light.
We place this emphasis on
the lighting because it is
often the lighting itself that
lends the needed ingredient
to make a great picture of a
scene that might otherwise
be commonplace.
Simply defined, the term
available light, as used in
photography, means the util-
ization of only that illumi-
nation which is naturally
present when a picture is
snapped.
Available light takes many
forms. 1t might be only the
light from a single candle
falling on the face of a per-
son; it might be the glow Of
a street lamp dimly pene-
trating through fog and soft
ly diffusing a scene that by
sunlight or flash might be
without interest or pictorial
appeal.
Try to Capture Reality
1t could be light from a
bank Of flourescent tubes in
an office ceiling; Of the in
tense beam Of a theater spot
light. Or it might be the
light that Eliminates a
room through a window. In
any event try using this
means for taking some of
your snapshots and you will
find your pictures taking on
a feeling Of reality rather
than one Of artificiality that
is so often seen in Con
trived" lighting situations.
Typical available light sit
uations call for a relatively
large lens opening combined
with medium to high-speed
film and slow shutter speeds.
In some cases, be the film
color or black-and-white, ex-
tended development will have
to be used during processing
to increase the Elective emul-
sion speed to a level permit
ting a useable hand held
shutter speed and /or smaller
lens opening to be employed.
