not compromised on any points
in his efforts to make the
ideals of democracy reality
"You have not accepted a half
loaf" DR.. King stated, praising
the colored people of the coun-
ty. I'VE all realize that if we

our birthright of freedom for a
mess Of segregated pottage."
DR.. King urged the people Of
this county to STAND firm and
things will get better Do
not despair; do not give up" he
urged, "but just stand firm for
what you believe in. and people
all over the United States will
say there are the black people
of Prince Edward county who
have injected new meaning in
the veins of civilization.
Before you wear the crown
of freedom, there is a cross that
we must bear" the Negro
speaker said. making a COM
parison of the Negroes plight in
Prince Edward with the cruel
fixion of Christ. Good Friday
spells temporary defeat" he
said. "but Easter is coming.
Just keep on keeping on

er the final decision of the Vir-

former State Senator Palmer,
are directed toward the care
and tr e m t of the handi-
capped 1888 such individuals
we're aided last year but a
small portion Of the funds is
used for research. I'VE are
engaged in a number of highly
important research stud e." ne
said, but because of the ire
mendous need for direct service
to the individual, we are un-
able to conduct as large a re- /
search program as we would
like"
Camp Easter Seal Summer
Treatment Center near New
Castle is one example Of the
services being offerd by tn
Society. Last summer $40 Grip
pied boys and girls received
therapy and participated IN
many outdoor games and sports
at this unique summer camp.

the people Of this area will help
us to continue and perhaps ex-
pand our services to the Grip
pied children and adults of Vir-
ginia by giving generously to
this drive" Palmer said, 1T is
only through public support that
we can assist those in need"
