Poor Prince Edward County?

i->NL LuNdTu county may appear
poor
A former governor is contracting ma
tlona foundations for funds to oper
ate private school system without
tuition charges under unofficial spon-
sorshlp OF the Justice Department and
the State Of Virginia. A board of edu-
Gators from private colleges in Virginia
was selected by the Governor of Vir
ginia. The U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture has supplied the larder with
surplus food stuffs for hot lunches.
The private Free School is set up in
buildings, completely equipped with all
facilities, owned by the publicly sup
ported school board, and is using bus
es belonging to the school board. The
cost OF education for 1900 students is
estimated to be 81 million for this year,
or at least that is the figure mentioned
IN the appeal to foundations.
The Prince Edward School Founda-
ton which has been operating for the
past four Years, started from scratch.
Private facilities have been used en-
tlrely, In church school and available
buildings. All equipment has been pur-
chased Second hand surplus buses

have been made in buildings and equip

by the NAACP have precluded the use
OF any publicly controlled property by
the Foundation, even though use of such
property has been offered to several
groups which have come into the coun-
ty for crash or remedial programs for
the Negro children.
The cost Of operation of the Founda-
ton schools for the four years has

Legal Procedure
Prince Edward County found itself
IN the middle of the legal maze from
the beginning. 1t was chosen along with
six other communities in the United
States for the test. For twelve long
years, the County through its officials
has met the legal test No law has been
broken, no court order defied.
Not with the purpose of DENYING
education for anyone of it's citizens, the
county took the only avenue open to it.
The governing board, acting upon the
expressed petition of its citizens failed
to levy taxes for public schools. With
out local support, under Virginia law
public schools were discontinued. A
system Of private schools was establish
ed by the white parents, and offers
were made unsuccessfully to the Negro
parents to act likewise. This situation
has dragged along for four years. Had
there been any law available, the
county would have been forced to re-
establish public schools several wears
ago. There being no law, pressures have
been applied in various ways.
Denied Educational Assistance
Two years ago the benefits of Vir-
glnla's scholarship aid program were
denied the parents of the county by
federal court orders. The parents were
undaunted. The next year the State of
Virginia was threatened with the clos
ing OF all public schools so long as the
schools of Prince Edward were not
operative. This year the Fourth Circuit
Federal Court, overruled the lower
federal court decisions, with the adj
monition that the lower federal court
should have abstained from any deci-
sion pending the Interpretation of the
Virginia Constitution by the Virginia
Supreme Court Of Appeals, and vacat-
ed all of the orders of the lower court
The NAACP asked the Fourth Circuit
Court to stay its order The court re-
fused. This week, Justice of the Su
preme Court granted a stay of the
Fourth Circuit court order, pending a
full hearing by the U. S. Supreme
Court What a legal maze!
Fundamental Issues
FINAL adjudication of fundamental
constitutional issues are sought bv
the people Of Prince Edward.
They seek:
Cd 10 maintain local control of edu-
cation. under precepts Of the Virginia
Constitution;
(2) 10 contend for and perpetuate
the constitutionally provided right that
free men cannot be taxed without their
own consent or that of their representa-
tives duly elected"
These objectives are not selfish. They
are basic to the future DEVELOPMENT of
education, and to the freedom of all.
They are not for day or year but
tor perpeturity. Sacrifices or hardshirs
demanded now Of a few may benefit
many in the continuing future.
Prince Edward may seem poor but
may find rewarding richness in it's
determined contention for basic consti-
tutional principles.
Stand steady Prince Edward!

we all know when something

of young behinds headed for
the hayStscks the minute the

they don't go straight for the
stacks, for they stop at the
local pub and pick up a six
pack. Pray tell, is this bad?
This is farm country and
farmers raise barley, which is
made into beer. Thusly, I'd say,
as long as this beer is used up
it surely helps the employ
ment situation.
Now, where would these
dear ones be if they weren't
in the haystack? Chances are
that they would be driving
their autos around town. /

The hearing on the proposed truck
route through Sidney attracted a num-
Der of city residents as had been antici-
pated.
Quite naturally there has been opposi-
ton to the 9th Avenue location and this
is understandable. For those who think
this isn't right, just put yourself in the
position of a home owner along 9th Ave
nue.. 1t is only logical that they should
want to get as much information on the
truck route as is possible.
On the other hand, it should be under
stood that city officials have given this
truck route considerable thought. From
what we have learned, the route now
under consideration would involve the
least cost to the city and in turn would
be the most suitable.
Petitions are now being circulated
about town and if enough signatures are
secured, the bond issue will be on the
city election ballot in April. We are Of
the opinion that a truck route for the
city is a must. We can also understand
the concern of those who are home own
ers along the proposed route, but as we
stated, we know the city has given this
considerable thought and are doing what
they consider is the best plan.
