NO ONE has EVER SUCCEEDED in making every
American think alike - and no one ever will.
Americans have violently different ideas about
everything under the sun = from bikinis to
bagels, from adagio dancers to automobiles -
and especially automobiles. No one knows this
better than the car builders of Detroit.
Misguided pundits have looked into their
crystal balls and thought they gray classless
world where everyone bought huge numbers of
identical commodities - including cars = end
lessly stamped out on the presses of mass produc-
ton; where everyone wanted this boring stuff
because they had been continually told they
wanted it by the pounding pitchmen Of television
and other means of mass communication.
But the pundits didn't reckon with the happy
fact that Americans - unlike the inmates of
CLASHES society - have different educations,

Incentive Pay For Gold Now Before Committee
By Fritz Witt

 l Witnesses, who said the indus try is in a badly depressed state, attributed the condition largely to I the fact that the $35-an-ounce price on gold has not been changed by the Treasury since 1894 though ] mining costs have steadily in- creased.
 Chairman John Carroll, D- Colo), of the subcommittee said the hearing was called "too try to find a way of helping to solve one of the most pressing problems of our time and certainly one of it's greatest anomalies
 q refer of course" he said, "to our ever-diminishing reserves of gold while at the same time our highly productive gold mines within our country have been and are continuing to close" Specifically, the committee was concerned with a bill by Sen. Clair Engle, D-Calif), and CO., sponsored by several other sem ators. The bill would offer in centive payments of up to $35 | an ounce for newly mined ro- mestic gold.
 With gold mines shut down at the same time that US. gold reserves are dwindling and being threatened by the continuing flow | of dollars to foreign lands, one sure way to help the gold short age is to get more gold,' Engle said, adding:
 "If the brake fluid in your cal has leaked to a dangerous level you stop the leak and add more l fluid. Our program for gold is a, | simple and logical as that" | Engle and other senators notet that the Treasury, State and Tn 1 terior Departments are opposed t the incentive payment proposal.
 Sen. E. L. Bartlett a forme gold miner, said that aside iron the questions of balance of pay ments and gold reserves, the com mittee should consider "so1nethin of justice and equity'' in the situa I ton.
 I Gold producers, he said, ar \ told that they will receive onl, $35 an ounce while they ar forced to pay increased costs.

The Lakewood board members
are strong for fundamentals and
skeptical Of frills. Along with
their statement of "basic prin-
ciples," they stress study, stand,

elected pursuit, homework.

learning in the full classic sense
of the word and with particular
emphasis on the essential AGA

lum."
The board puts a refreshing
emphasis on discipline, with in
sistence on curtesy and respect.
as essentials of the mutual re-
lationships between students and
teachers. and among students.
Finally, the board members
discourage nonacaremic inter-
rupdons which plague so many
schools and classrooms. At Lake
wood, machinery is provided for
the necessary conference be-
tween parents and teachers, but
with minimum disruption of the
teaching process.
The Lakewood pattern is
summed up with this somewhat
high flown but none-the-less
sound statement:
THE noblest. and most practi-
cal, inheritance we can provide
our child is the maximum mental
development Of which he is cap
able, the inner gertrude which
derives from adherence to tradi-
tional value concepts, and the
zest for meeting and surmount-

ton Post was used as insulation under
our coat, about the best use to make Of
it, and the car coat (much too short for
such emergencies) was draped over our
knees and legs Weird lightning followed
by muffled thunder Interrupted our
snooze and produced an eerie spectacle
through the falling snow and the white
countryside.
Daylight came, the snow stopped,
people began to move A truck driver
predicted an eighteen hour jam. Sever
al babies were crying in cars. About
1000 o'clock there was slight move
ment of vehicles. Some good soul, a
truck driver, had cleared lane for
north bound traffic, and soon thereafter
southbound traffic began to move at a
snall's pace. Abandoned trucks, jack
knitted tractor trailers, and disabled cars
were passed, but the line was moving.
An hour and a half later and ten miles
further down the highway traffic moved
freer. The ordeal was over for us, but
hours later others of the stranded cars
began to move out of the most unbeliev.
able jam.
Granted that snow conditions came
almost without warning, it does appear
to us that the State police should have
foreseen this situation and a sufficient
number of officers rushed to this bot
tleneck on U. S. 1, to keep traffic NOV
ing SO as to prevent major traffic
jam.
We never knew that there were so
many tractor trailers in the world to
say nothing of being on Route l on a
snowy night. The trucks were response
bic for the major original tie-up as we
saw it. Under road condition such as
Monday night trucks should be required
to use chains to prevent stalling usually
on hills. Sufficient State police should
be assigned to duty at these strategic
points, to direct movements and unsnarl
tie-ups before they reach gigantic pro-
portions.
Man is foolish at best but put him
in an automobile, and he becomes more
foolish.
Yes, you are correct in your thinking
at this point that no sensible man would
be on the road Monday night, and with
that we agree.
Still, it was ridiculous!

Another Step

THE decision of the Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals announced Mon
day is another step in the legal maze
surrounding education in Prince Ed
ward County. Insofar as the Virginia
Constitution is concerned the Board of
Supervisors has acted lawfully and le-
gally. Other imponderables remain be-
fore lasting solution can be found.
NAACP attorneys have noted an APP
peal from the temporary decision Au-
gust 26 of Federal District Judge Oren
Lewis, and his order of November 10.
1861 in which he stated that he would
act further within 20 days after the de-
clslon of the Virginia Supreme Court.
The NAACP attorneys have requested
and been granted a right to file briefs
following the final adjudication of the
case by Judge Lewis.
There are many facets to be consider
ed and explored and there are uncer-
talnties in the legal maze remaining, be-
fore all facts can be assessed At pre-
sent there is no pat, simple answer to
the problem. This is not the occasion
for hasty, or hastily considered judg-
ments or actions.
Let us approach the problem intelli-
gently and Internationally. as has char
acterized the many important decisions
that the people of Prince Edward and
their representative have made in the
past
The Virginia Supreme Court of APP
peals has placed the position of the
Board of Supervisors beyond question
insofar as the Virginia Constitution is
concerned. Its decision on Monday is I'M
equivocal on this point. The Court said:
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1962-03-09

I'VE find in neither Section 136 of the Con-
stitution nor in the statutes implementing it.
any support lfor the petitioners contention
that the Board of Supervisors is under the
mandatory duty to levy local taxes and APP
propriate moneys for the support Of public
free schools in the county
The Court added further:
1T is not our function here to say whether
the action of the Board Of Supervisors Of
Prince Edward county in refusing to make
these appropriations is proper. wise. or de-
Sreabe. Our duty is merely to determine
whether it may be compelled to do so by
writ of mandamus. In our view it may
not be so compelled"
And the Court concluded with this
very pertinent paragraph:
1.-The Constitution Of Virginia vests in the
legislative department of the government the
duty, power and authority to establish and
maintain public free schools throughout the
State. To grant the writ in this proceeding
.would amount to an invasion by the judicial
department of those functions Of the legis-
lative department. 1t would mean that this
court may substitute its discretion for that
vested by law in the local legislative body
Clearly under the division of powers embodied
in our Bill Of Rights Constitution section 81
We may not do this. For these reasons the
writ prayed for is denied
The Virginia Supreme Court Of Ap-
peals rendered its decision upon the
Virginia Constitution and law. The de-
cision further clearly annunciated the
duty, authority and. purposes of the
court, namely to interpret the law, not
to transgress upon the duty and author
ity of the Legislative branch of the gov
eminent with any sociological theories
or question the discretionary power OF
the legislative unit
A constitutional question. we'll pre-.
sented has been fairly judged.
