Scholarship Fund
Gets Outside Help
Tuck And Abbitt
Call Meeting To
Aid Prince Edward

A group of county leaders from
Southside Virginia met Sunday at
the Prince Edward Academy to
discuss promotion of the scholar
ship fund drive for the Prirce
Edward School Foundation. The
meeting was called by Congress
men William NJ. Tuck of the
Fifth Congressional District and
Watkins M. Abbitt of the Fourth
Congressional District.
I'VE are very gratified to re-
ceive this interest from COM
munity leaders outside the coun-
ty of Prince Edward" B. Blap-
ton Hamburg. president of the
School Foundation, said this
morning. Il believe more and
more people are beginning to
realize that Prince Edward is a
test case for Southside Virginian
and the entire South for that
matter
Foundation Budget
The School Foundation has a
budget for this year of 1862 900.
Parents who are sending chill
dren to schools operated by the
School Foundation have paid or
pledged some S132 900 so far, but
all the application cards have not
been turned in. Outside donations
to the scholarship fund total
about $4,000. This leaves about
5000, 600 still to be raised for the
scholarship fund, or paid by the
parents of children in the county
The purpose of the informal
meeting Sunday was to set up an
organization to actively raise the
money necessary to meet the re-
quirements for the current year.
Details of the organization will
be announced at a later date by
congressman Abbitt and Tuck.
Scholarship Plan
Projecting the figures of the
tuition payments already made
or pledged. Hamburg predicted
that the people of Prince Ed
ward county would pay about "A
fper cent Of the total cost of
school operation, with the re-
mainder of the money about
5000 ,0OOo to be raised in the
scholarship fund drive.
All donations to the Scholar
ship Fund are deductible when
computing Federal income tax
returns.
The private schools in Prince
Edward County were organized
on a permanent basis in the fall
of 1859, after the county went
out of the public school business.
The first year of operation was
on the basis of donations only.
The second year Of operation
was accomplished by charging
tuition to the parents of the chill
dren. A large portion of the tu-
ition was reclaimed by the par
ents from county and state schol-
arship grants.
Court Action
Judge Oren Lewis, in August
OF this year, ruled that Prince
Edward parents were not elgi-
BILE for the scholarship grants, so
the parents are not being aided
by county or state scholarship
grants.
During the past year another
| 100000 has been raised in the
county by the School Foundation
/ to build and equip the new
Prince Edward Academy. This
makes the total raised in the
county in excess of three quar-
eters of a million dollars. 1.-The
Foundation schools will be oper-
ated this year, and l know that
the money will be forthcoming
to oper tie Them" Hanbury
stated.

ABUNDANT LIFE
by ORAL ROBERTS
How q Little Girl Who Was Turning to
Stone Was Healed Through Faith

Our little five year old
daughter, Linda, was literally
turning to stone. The doctors
said she had a rare and fatal
disease and that there was no
way to keep her from dying"
wrote a mother a few weeks
ago.
Linda stopped growing in
1854" the mother continued.
Her height, weight and even
the expression on her face
stayed the same. Since this rare
disease had stricken all her body
at once, the specialist said she
couldn't live more than IL
months.
The doctors said she would
get more and more rigid. Her
skin would become glossy. Her
hands would set like claws, and
when her heart could no longer
pump blood through her hard
ened arteries, she would die of
a heart attack.
When Linda awoke in the
mornings, her hands were set
in a claw-like position. She had
no feeling. She couldn't breathe
through her nose. Her only
nourishment was in liquid form
because she couldn't swallow
solid food.
MY husband and / had al
most given up hope. Our daugh-
ter was dying a horrible death
right before our eyes, and there
was absolutely nothing we could
do. We had tried medicine and
