PECCA Seeking
More School
Census Figures
Negro Group To
Ask Effect OF
Schools Closing

The Prince Edward County
Christian Association began a
school-related census today, the
Rev. l.. F. Griffin, association
president, said this morning.
The census has three purposes.
The main purpose is to discover
what impact the closing of pub
lie schools has had on the col
ored population. The second sec
ton of the QUESTIONABLE is de-
voted to facts about voter regis
tration, and the third section is
religious inquiry.
Mr.. Griffin was asked this
morning if he thought the census
would turn up any facts differ
ent from the county school cen
sus conducted last year. 1--WE
don't know he answered, but
we do wish additional informa-
ton and that is the reason for
conducting our own survey. We
also want more information than
is available from the 1860 popu-
lation census"
He said the cost would be
negligible, since volunteer teen
age teams would make the
house-to-house calls. with the
forms made available through
the PECCA. An orientation pro-
gram was held today Monday
for the teenagers to explain the
questions, etc.
Questions Asked
There are nine questions in the
first part, with several routine
questions. such as head of house
hold, address, etc. Also asked
is: Has any member of the
family moved from Prince Ed
ward in the last year? If SO,
why? If individual moved to at
tend school give ocation of
school. name of sc hool, last
grade attended, age of child; Are
there children in the household
who commute daily to attend
school outside of county? If in
dividual moved for reasons other
than school, where did individual
move and type of employment?
The school-related portion also
asks various information about
the children: whether they have
attended school since the public
schools were closed in 1859, last
grade completed, etc.
Under voter registration there
are only four questions. seeking
the number of people in the
household who are registered.
paid poll tax. etc.
Inquiries of a religious nature
seek to find out what church
members of the household at
tend, etc.
The interview teams will take
about two weeks to complete
their work and Mr.. Griffin esti-
mates it will take another couple
of weeks to compile the results.
Official Census Facts
The school census conducted
by the county last year revealed
that 1868 children in Prince Ed
ward were not attending school.

Rotary Learns
About New Life
Saving Methods

New officers of the Farnlville
Rotary Club were installed at
their regular meeting Thursday
evening. Herbert Thorpe, of
Richmond, division safety en-
gineer for Virginia Electric and
Power Company gave a dem
binatiOn of mouth to mouth
resuscitation and external heart
massage for the benefit of the
club members.
These two life saving meth
DDS have produced highly sue
cessful results and have now
been adopted by our company"
Thorpe explained.
The external heart massage is
relatively new. In the past, ef-
forts to revive a victim of cleo
trio shock, sudden heart failure,
drowning, ETC.. have been direct
ed toward only one phase of
the total process. by maintaining
a supply of oxygen to the lungs
through rescue breathing or art
ificial respiration.
In victim who has stopped
breathing and whose heart has
stopped pumping blood. the COM
bination of mouth to- mouth
breathing and cardiac resuscit-
alton, if applied early and prop
erly, will sustain life indefinite
ly," Thorpe told the Rotary
members,
In order to know whether to
begin external massage. it is
important that one be able to
determine in the matter of three
or four seconds whether circula-
ton has stopped. If no pulse is
felt or heart beat heard, no time
must be lost.
The procedure for closed
chest resuscitation is as fol-
lows:
