suppose that the public schools thus
established would be attended predom-
inantly by Negroes. The NAACP has
made it plain that it is Interested in in
tegration only, so it is problematical
that such schools would be satisfactory
to the litigants. Furthermore, the
NAACP counsel has given notice that
they will appeal the temporary decision
of Judge Lewis as it now stands. They,
also, have been granted time by the
Fourth Circuit Court to appeal the per-
manent decision of Judge Lewis.
Further litigation is to be expected
regardless.
(2) The second course is to stand on
the firm legal ground the County now
occupies. In this event the case still
will be be appealed to the Fourth Cir
cult Court.
In either case more litigation is to be
expected. Qualification Of the issues
must be determined by an authoritative
decision of the federal judiciary.

Pollsters Find,Apathy

II think there Is very little at
tempt on the part Of Congress
men to lead public opinion. or
TO educate the public. Congress
men are very frank to admit
that more than half Of their
time is devoted to getting re-
elected and not to dealing with
the great issues Of our time. !.
II they are going to be genuine
leaders. they must have the
courage TO state their position
and to tell the people what they
intend to do. whether it meets
with their approval or not
Roper leans to the view that
politicians are paying too much
attention to the polls: 1 don't
think the public gets stampeded
by polls" He does think. how
ever. that the public itself
stands TO benefit from polls be-
cause they point to the existence
of too much apathy on matters
which should have the public's
concern.

Kennedys On The Go

DRESIDENT John F. Kennedy's fami-
r ly is on the way to becoming the
most travelled presidential clan in the
history of the United States. The FDR
clan was get-about assemblage, too,
but the Kennedys outnumber.
It's getting hard to keep up with the
brothers and sisters and sisters-in-law,
etc. and what head of what state they
are meeting with at the moment. The
President is young Chief Executive:
His travelling brothers are even young
er and that justifies reflection.
Then Mrs. Kennedy is also heavily
into the act, now on visit in the Asian
world, with her sister who is on
leave from her Polish prince husband
in London. Recently both Edward and
Robert, the former in the twenties and
angling for the Senate, the latter in
his thirties and Attorney General of the
United States and the man who ran the
successful 1860 presidential campaign,
met with Chancellor Konrad Adenauer,
who is rocking along at eighty-plus.
Will all these family travels hurt the
President politically? AS yet there can
be no final answer to this question. 1t
is highly doubtful if it will help him
but family antics never seemed to dam
age FDR's popularity rating too much,
and family travels may not become a
handicap to President Kennedy. But

Politics VS.. New Ideas
The newspapers devote many
columns to politics. and we are
inclined to overestimate the i'm
portance of politics as our in
vestment statistics show that
there is little correlation be-
tween politics and the stock
market. My readers had far bet
ter study the new ideas being
developed. such as fuel cells"
new adhesives," and foods
from cellulose. New develop
ments now in test tubes and on
drawing boards have great prof.
it possibilities.
Moreover. history shows that
it does not require much capital
to start a company with only
an idea" But it requires great
patience and persistence. Mr..
Clinton Woods Of 28O3 Goodwood
Road. Baltimore IA. Maryland
has recently published a book
showing that 200 of today's big
gest companies started without
capital. It Is important to young
people who are willing to work
and who have the patience to
wait. I have given away over
100 Of these books to help the
right people. although they can
be bought from Mr.. Woods.
These books are the best invest

TUESDAY, MARCH ls, 1862
Imponderables

DRINCE Edward Board of Super
visors has issued calm. frank state
ment following the Virginia Supreme
Court decision on last Monday. 1t in
dicates that no hasty decision will be
made on the problem before them.
In discussing the problem several
basic facts should be considered:
Q) 1t has not been the disposition or
purpose of any thinking citizen of
Prince Edward to deny anyone an educ
alton. Every effort has been made to
provide education. BY their own cleo
ton and decision the Negro people re-
jected assistance to this end.
(2) 1t is the firm conviction of 1900
people that the separation Of the races
in public schools of this county is alb
solutely necessary -"
Education is duty of the parents
and public education is privilege. The
people of Prince Edward hold this priv
ilege in high regard and have always
supported education. Education of all
its citizens has been the goal and desire
OF the people and the authorities.
90 Prince Edward County Super
visors under the Virginia Constitution
are authorized to appropriate funds for
public schools "as in their judgment
the public welfare may require"
Upon this bedrock the Supervisors
and the majority of people have stood.
So far this position is legally sound.
(4) For eight years the people of
Prince Edward have sought a solution
which would provide education in con-
formity with the expressed wishes and
desires of the people.
The difficulty in finding a solution
has been heightened by the fact that
the problem was produced by judicial
decision based more upon sociological
considerations than upon legal inter-
pretations.
Therefore, any solution is to be found
through court actions procedure
not envisioned by the Constitution
Usurpation of powers reserved by the
people has complicated and slowed an
equitable solution Of the dilemma
Two courses are open for Prince Ed
ward:
Q To appropriate funds for public
schools, which. under the present law,
must be subject to racial integration A
recent survey revealed that the white
parents and a few of the Negro parents
would not send their children to an in

Beb.on Discusses
The Big Question Confronting Investors

Babson Park. Mass. March
This ques tion briefly is:
Should We buy the most popular
stocks. or should we buy those
in little demand?
Popular Common Stocks
Probably drug stocks are the
most popular today. This is the
time of year when so many are
sneezing and your favorite drug
store is doing its best business.
Also life insurance stocks are al
ways attractive. Everyone is
striving to live longer; while the
doctors. the hospitals. and the
government are helping them to.
Consequently. life insurance
stocks are high, and hence pay
the smallest cash yield Of all
gronrs. Investors do not want to
eell their life ine',~ance stocks.
ne--c'el,~ as the companies con-
stantlv declare "stock divi-
dends," which investors like.
They pay no taxes upon these
until they sell the stock re-
ceived.
Other popular stocks are those

of good office help. This scarcity

W. .. Wssltgnea

Take it as the personal 0pin-
ion of two public opinion ex-
perts: The American people
show a wOeful lack Of infOrma-
ton and education about a great
many important things.
That discomasinE conclusion
comes from both Elmo Roper
and George Gallup. each Of
whom has been firing questions
at representative Americans for
almost 80 years. The answers
they have gotten To their myriad
questions have revealed shock
ing ignorance in many. many
instances.
Roper has found. for exam
pie. that only 10 per cent of the
people can be described as ''pO-
litically active in the sense Of
participating in public affairs
not necessarily those Of partisan
politics. Another 20 per cent
take some part in political.
civic. and social life: but the
vast majority 70 per cent
are simply dormant TO use
ROper'S term
Gallup is particularly dis
tressed over "how badly inform
ed a lot of our college graduates
are" Their ignorance Of eco
nemics, of geography, Of popu-
lation data. and similar matters
leads him to the conclusion that
1.-The college-trained student of
today is not the equal of his
counterpart of Is years ago."
Despite that dismal estimate.
Gallup nevertheless credits the
public with having exercised
wiser judgment than either
congressman or 1.-THE experts"
on major issues Of the last
Quarter-centmy.
Both men acknowledge that
polls, especially those taken pri-
vately for political clients. some
times have been mis-used. But
they contend strongly that pub
lie opinion polling serves use
full purpose.
Polling" says Roper, helps
make the common man articu-
late and I think that is an i'm
portant thing. Also, I think poll
ing is extremely valuable to the
educators both to the formal
and the informal educators. 1t
exposes the areas of ignorance
And once you know where
the areas of ignorance are
among the American people,
you can do a better job of edu-
eating them
Gallup injects another favor
able factor:
More and more we are see
ing that one of the greatest
benefits is that We can take to
the people important questions
that elected officials are reluc-
tant to deal with OF course,
once we've explored touchy
area. and have shown what the
public thinks. this may give
some Of the elected officials
more courage to go ahead and
act"
Gallup censures some elected
officials for lack of leadership:

Outcome Of Direct Seeding Tests
May Add New Tree Starting Method

the pulp and paper companies do
ing large areas are contracting
the sowing by aerial means.
The average rate a sowing has
been approximately one pound
per acre. In terms Of total seed.
this is about 1890 TO 10. 900 seed
per acre. The desire with this
method is 10 establish 1000 or
more seedlings. It would be a
disadvantage to establish much
over $500 seedlings to the acre.
because Of the slower growth
on individual trees which this
condition would bring about.
Spot Method
The other method, spot seed
ing. is used primarily in recently

though it can also be easily a.
dapted to prepared areas. Seed

spot is raked on the surface of
the ground to expose the NINE

are then dropped on the exposed
area. Spots are usually placed

This method has the advant-
age Of controlled spacing but
could also give poorer overall
results because fewer seed are
used. Usually only q fifth a q

As in planting. 1t Is extremely
important to seed these areas as
soon after cutting as possible so
that hardwood spr0ut growth
does not 0vertop the seedlings.
Thus far. the seeding pro-
gram has met with varying de-
grees Of success. The advantage
of seeding is somewhat lower
cost, but the chance or gamble
that one takes may not be worth
the lower cost to some individ-
uals. The gamble here is that
the weather will be favorable for
seeding survival during the first
year, the critical period.
It is not expected that direct
seeding will replace planting.
but it is the hope that this prac-
tice will be another method that
can be used to convert low
quality areas to more desirable
species, fOresters say.
