Is Your Name Watson?
Do You Know that:

Do You Know that:
WATSON, an old and honored
surname, is principally of Eng
lish and Scottish origins. The
equivalent of Watts, Waters, Wat
terson and similar surnames, it
owes its usage to the fact that
wat" was employed widely in
ancient and medieval times as a
shortened form of the personal
name Walter. Thus, when sur
names came into vogue, it was on
ly natural for WATSON to have
been applied to sons of descend
ants of Walter. a

troops during the Revolutionary

Sunday School Lesson
(Continued from Page q

So the spiritual dimensions
of life - those that never go
into eclipse - are essential as
we enter the years of maturity.
They project life beyond the
limited horizon of time and
place. It is by cultivating the
spiritual through effective Chris
tian citizenship in our homes,
churches, and the world that
a whole new area of experience
opens up.
Ecclesiastes teaches that our
physical selves are but tempo
rary residents in a transitory
world. The New Testament
makes clear, however, that this
is but the initial stage of our
life. The more we think of it,
the more we are sobered by the
fact that this is the better END
of our personal consciousness.
Even seventy years is modest
span alongside infinity. There
fore, if we can envision no more
in life than the idea that our
years in the flesh are but a
proving ground where the set OF
the soul is decided, let us at
least be glad that this earth and
our existence here are weighed
with divine destiny.
LESSON PRAYER
Our Father, who in wisdom
didst create the world and who
in love didst set man on it,
visit us with thy encouraging
presence. Help us use our ablli-
ties to see life in divine perspec-
tive and to live according to thy
holy purpose. We pray in the
name of thy Son, who himself
was reluctant to leave this
earth. Amen.

feels ~Prince Edward could
operate . Negro school"
Senator Boothe, the candi-
date for lieutenant governor
on Stephens ticket, Saturday
called for reopening closed
schools for Negroes in Prince
Edward County. by action of
the State. If necessary.
Prince Edward has had no
public schools for either race
since 1859 when the board of
supervisors refused to appropri-
ate funds for schools in the
face Of urt-ordereC desegre-
cation. Last Friday, the board
took similar action to keep the
schools closed in the coming
school year.
Campaign Issue
Prince Edwards closed schools
have become O full-blown issue
in the Democratic gubernatorial
primary campaign between
Stephens ticket and the Byrd
organization slate, headed by
former State Attorney General
Albertis s. Harrison, jr.,
Mr.. Stephens told the news
men that, "if the General AS
sembly determines any locality
should be furnished public
schools where there are none,
they will have the conStitu-
tional right to do so."
Meanwhile, Mr.. Harrison said
last night in Warsaw that an
agreement by the NAACP to
accept the reopening of q
Negro school" in Prince Ed
ward might well settle the
county's school crisis.
He called on Mr.. Stephens
and Senator Boothe to find out
from the Negro organization If
it would be satisfied by such
a move.
"An affirmative answer from
the NAACP might well resolve
the ISSUE" Mr.. Harrison told q

Lack of Laws Cited

Mr.. Harrison countered Sen
ator Boothe's position by saying
the State had no laws on the
books for the State to open
and operate a public school in
Prince Edward or any other
county, city or town of the
Commonwealth.
THE only school that could
be operated in Prince Edward
under the Federal Court order
is a school to which children
OF both races must be admitted
without regard to race, color
or creed" Mr.. Harrison said.
There Is no such thing as
opening a Negro school in
Prince Edward and this Mr.,
Stephens knows"
Some hackers Of the private
school system in Prince Ed
ward, which white children
have been attending with the
cost borne almost entirely by
State and local tuition grants,
have advocated the reopening
Of public schools.
Their theory-apparently
shared by Senator Boothe and
Mr.. StephenS-is that only
Negro pupils, plus at the most
only a few white children,
would attend the schools. In
addition, they regard some pub
lie schooling as legal protec-
ton for the tuition grants now
under attack in Federal Court
in the Prince Edward case.

Refuses to Answer
When Mr.. Varoutsos asked
him if he intended to refuse
answers to all questions con-
corning the three defendants,
Worden replied: II do, SIR"
He answered only one uueS-
ton after. Asked If he was
afraid. he said, I'm afraid of
no one"
During the hearing Mr.. Alex
ander testified he picked UP
Worden in his cab and drove
him to the Queen street ad-
dress. Before his fare could
get out, however, he said, three
men came running at the cab,
one Of them brandishing a gun.
They removed Worden from
the cab, gave Mr.. Alexander
$40, told him to keep quiet and
disappeared, he said. He said
he Immediately notified police.
Another witness, Detective
Walter Hughes, told the court
he had talked with Worden
shortly after the alleged abduc-
ton and Worden told him "he
was afraid Of these three gen.
tlemen here and the organ
ization they represented and
said they were going. to kill
him."
Witness Is Held
After the hearing Mr.. Batch
elor asked that Judge Brown
dismiss Worden. from custody
since, he said, 1t was obvious
he would not furnish the State
much evidence.
Judge Brown, however, said
the bond would remain at $780,
600 because there is quite con-
ceivably a great fear in this
witness which would lead him
to disappear"
Mr.. Bachelor said he plans
to file habeas corpus proceed
ings today in Circuit Court in

leased from bond.
