Chest Driue Tops Precious
High As Campaign Continues
Remaining $4,000
Needed To Aid
Blood Bank

c. H. Goodwin, Community
Chest president, announced
Monday that the SIG 500 raised
so far py the Chest drive is the
highest total ever recorded in
Prince Edward county, even
though the drive is still some
$1,000 shot of its goal.
Goodwin extended congratula-
TONS and thanks to the Junior
Chamber of Commerce for tbs
outstanding job in heading the
1862 Community Chest Cam
paign, and expressed hope Of
still reaching the S21 ,691 goal.
Drive To Continue
1--WE are continuing the drive
in an effort to raise the remain
der of our goal, since it is need
ed to establish the Red Cross
blood bank program in the coun-
ty. Approximately $500 is need
ed by the Red Cross to set up
the blood bank program and we
are going to make every effort
to see that they get their
share said Goodwin.
He said. Letters have been
sent out to businesses and indi-
viduals urging further donations
and so far response has been
good. There are still some who
have not been contacted and we
are receiving money from these
people each day.
I'VE urge those who nave not
been contacted to send their do
nations as soon as possible. We
think we have a good chance Of
reaching our goal and we are
not discouraged by being shy of
our goal since it is the highest
goal ever and the SIS, 500 al
ready raised is the highest total
in the long history OF the Com
munity Chest here"
Mrs. John G. GRAHAM, head
of the blood bank program for
the Red Cross, said. I'VE have
had wonderful response from
the community toward our blood
bank program. All the citizens
Of Prince E edward have ex-
pressed their desire to have a
blood bank established here but
we need the money from the
Community Chest to complete
our program.
Blood Being Used
The blood received from the
bloodmobile visit is being used
each day and we are grateful to
those who donated blood. We
urge those of you who can't do
nate blood to please give gener-
ously to the Chest drive and in
that way make possible our
blood bank program.

Suit
Hearing 9 Fails
To Remove Haze
Richmond Circuit
Court Takes Case
Under Amusement

Prince Edward county's new
est school suit in state courts,
seeking to determine who has
public school operating response
oility under the Virginia consti-
tuition, remained legally clouded
after two days of testimony in
Richmond Circuit Court Thurs
day and Friday.
Judge John Wingo Knowles
took the case under Amusement
on the second day, but gave no
ldication when he would hand
down his decision. The suit was
9Jaght by the Prince Edward
school board through its attor-
Ley Collins Denny, Jr.
The arguments apparently left
Judge Knowles with one knotty
legal decision: whether or not
the state must operate public
schools in a locality when the
local governing body refuses to
appropriate money for them.
The Virginia Supreme Court
OF Appeals has already held that
county supervisors cannot be
compelled under the state con-
stitution to appropriate funds for
public schools. The states high
est court did not rule on what
the states responsibility is.
High Court Opinion
The Supreme Court did midi
cate, however, that whatever
the Virginia constitution says in
this matter is directed to the
state legislature and not to the
county governing body.
Attorneys fer the Negro de-
PENDANTS in last weeks suit
again maintained that federal
courts have settled the school
issue in Prince Edward by hold
ing that school closing violates
the federal constitutional rights
of Negro children and parents
under the equal protection pro-
visions of the l4th Amendment.
S. w. Tucker, counsel for the
defendants, told the court he
thinks the state legislature has
power to compel the county
board of supervisors to appro-
pirate funds for public schools.
He added. however, his doubts
that courts could compel the
legislature to take this step.
Denny insisted the School
Board has 1.-The sole right, au-
thority and duty to operate
