there are some parents who
needed and will need assistance
in varying degrees during the
coming year. With a substantial
difference in taxes this year it
is reasonable to expect the
people of the county to con-
tribute literally to this scholar
ship fund, which will be admin
lstered by a special scholarship
committee, similar to the pro-
cedure used this year.
Our Foundation heartily en-
dorses the detectives Of this
committee and earnestly urges
every citizen of the county to
make his just contribution, he
added.
Set Up Committees
Committees will be set up
next week in each Of the six dis
tricts and the town of Farmville.
Solicitation will begin immedi-
ately.
Foundation spokesman said
that all school registrations will
be completed within the next

Farmville town council moved
step closer to the adoption OF
curfew law Tuesday night,
with the tentative recommends
ton of requiring all 18-year-olds
and under to be home after
midnight The ordinance com
,mittee composed of John E
Harwood, A. o. Lafoon, and j.
B. Clark will consult with a
committee from the board of
supervisors so the two bodies
will adopt similar law for
town and county.
Considerable discussion was
exchanged around the council
table and it was generally
agreed that a reasonable curfeW
law would be of great value to
law enforcement officials in
eliminating lust riding by
youths up to 19 years of age.
County Judge William r. Hay
read an ordinance from Roa-
noke that held the parents re-
sponsible as well as the youths.
He pointed out that the infrac.
tons would be brought before
the Juvenile and Domestic Re
latlons court and punishment
would be meted out from this
court, at the discretion Of the
county judge.
The council suggested that the
ordinance should allow for rec
ognized social functions. athletic
events. etc. The purpose of the
law is not to place burden
upon the youngsters but to pro
vide the police officials with a
means to prevent youths from
Just riding" and the attendant
possibility of drag racing, break
ing and entering, and more seri-
GUS crimes.
Mayor Watkins pointed out
that most cities have such a
curfew usually starting at II
PM and many other towns in
the state also. only a very
small percentage of youths are
involved in riding around after
midnight" he said, land since
their parents will not exercise
the proper control, it is neces-
sary that the town take steps
to keep any of our youths and
those from other areas from
getting into BILE. This is
strictly preventative measure
and is certainly not intended to
be punishment for any group, :

PRESIDENT KENNEDY de-
clared Wednesday that the ma

he said, hang in the balance.
Speaking from prepared text
at Rice stadium near Houston,
Texas, the President called for a

ing" effort to land man on the
moon. a goal he has set for this
decade. He pointed out that 40

circled the globe since he took
office were made in the U. S.

edge to the people Of the world
than those of the Soviet Union.

Russia warned that any moves
