Future Report
On Basis OF
Data Possible
BY BEN BOWERS

Federal District Judge Oren
R. Lewis received the Prince
Edward county school boards
report on desegregation for ele-
mentary schools of the county,
Wednesday.
The report. asked by Judge
Lewis in his August % opinion,
shows the situation as the school
board views it in results of
desegregation survey and school
census recently completed. It
does not detail a plan for deseg
regating the schools, but leaves
the door open on the filing of
such plan based on the data
contained in the current report
to the court.
The school board says in its
report: ut is naturally to be
supposed that any plan filed by
a school board and approved by
the court is a plan of some per-
manence and that all concerned
have some reason to place rea-
sonable reliance thereon.
Future Plan
"These defendants do not feel
competent to attempt to project
their minds to factual situa-
ton beyond that which these
questionnaires show now exist
in the county. They would
like therefore to be permitted to
consider the matter on the
basis of these things which now
appear to be facts and to make
report to the court concerning
what would now appear to be
the best manner to open schools
in the county, if funds are made
available for their operation, for
those children whose parents
have indicated that they will at
tend public schools. if they are
opened"
Speaking further CT a future
plan the defendants said in the
report, they would like to be
permitted to file this plan upon
the understanding that it is pro-
posed solely on the basis of
these facts as they are now
known, and that if the factual
situation changes they may then
file report designed to meet
that factual situation, not SUBJ
ject to the burden of justifying
a change of plan, but rather

with a strength far greater than
the sum total of individual
strengths.
The church is also essential. he
said. "as the channel and Gus

most effectively holds aloft our
sense of accountability. With out
that sense. life degenerates into
sordidness and evil. If the his
tory Of the generation Of Buchen-
valid concentration camp has
told us anything. it has told us
this he declared.
The church is essential to men
also because we need to hear
the voice of God challenging US
to do that which needs doing. to
overcome the evil that must be
stemmed; to correct the INCEST
ice that degrade mankind the
Methodist pastor advised.
But he warned genera
ton which the church will need
to continue as an effective force"
if you want to destroy the church,
to eliminate its influence, it is
not necessary to resort to dyna-
mite, hammers or crowbars;
Just quit using It,"

Council Covers
Lot OF Ground
In Long Session
Waterproof Old,
Postpone New,
Clear Water Well

The Farmville town council had
lengthy session Tuesday night
at its regular November meeting.
The council action covered much
ground, mostly concerning items
of routine importance.
The council approved the water
PROBING of the outside walls of
the clear water well at the Farm
vile water works. The cost of
this job was estimated at about
$500. and will be done by Southern
Waterproofing Company of Rich
mond. The town budget shows a
budgetary allowance of 500. 900 to
construct a new clear water well,
but it was decided to postpone
this construction, and take adj
vantage of the relatively mex
pensive waterproofing job.
The airport property again
came up for discussion. An option
on this property was renewed
with the Farmville Area Develop
ment Corporation in the event it
is needed for industrial expan-
sion. The town manager was also
directed to make minor repairs
to the runways, and study the
general situation.
Patron parking at the post Of
fice was another repeat for dis
cusSion. The council feels that
adequate parking should be plan
ned in the post office vicinity, but
sketches of the new post office
building show only about Is pos
sible parking spaces for patrons.
Town officials were directed to
continue to work on this project.
Watkins M. Abbitt, congressman,
Is also working on getting add
tional parking facilities.
Work has commenced on the
new sidewalk from Fourth street
to Third street, along the west
side of South street. Curbs and
cutters will be included with the
four foot sidewalk.
Among the sire e t improve
ments considered by the council
were. improvements to Race St.
This work will be done as soon
as the heavy equipment is avail
able.
The possibility of extending
Barrow street from South Main
to Fourth Avenue was discussed
further. If this street were de-
veloped it would give a direct
route from the west end resi-
dental area to Main street and
would reduce the amount of traf
fic now flowing down High street.
Town manager T. w. Bloom
field said a traffic counter had
been obtained to record the
amount of traffic on Oak street.
This will be reported to the
council later.

Geologists Check Taku Glacier in Plans to Construct a Highway

JUNEAU R The state is checking to see if mighty Taku Glacier will cooperate in plans to construct highway linking Ju- neau with the British Columbia road system via the Taku Inlet route.
 Three employees of the State Division of Highways were on the glacier, placing markers in an eff fort to determine at what speed and in which direction the glacier is moving.
 They are geologists Bob Bursiel and Jack Miller Of Anchorage and Erank Hoffman.
 H. M. Pentecost, planning direc- tor for the Highways Division, said any appreciable forward movement by the glacier would probably preclude the construc- tion of highway up Taku Inlet, in front of the glacier.
 If the ice is receding, standing still or advancing at only slow pace. Pentecost said, i. would mean that the glacier alone woulc not prevent Taku highway. If tise glaciers movement doe: make highway across the sill at it's face impossible, any road up the inlet would have to cross two miles Of water to the west bank, continue north of the gla- cier and then possibly would have to recross the inlet if slide con- ditions on the east bank prove as dangerous as they look from the air, Pentecost said.
