students of Mrs. Edna Naragon
at Chambers School. Each child
chose one such creature, such
as a giraffe or a zebra, and
found out all that could be
learned about it from a number
of reference books.
Forms were provided for
each child, entitled animal
Study" on which they were to
record their findings about
their animal. They were to give
its name, its description, it's
home, it's food, and it's habits.
There was also a place for
them to draw a picture of the
animal itself, so that all Of the
information about that animal
was assembled on one sheet.
They also cooperated with
each other in animal Commit
tees, of which there were five,
to make composite colored
drawings of several animals
which would normally be found
together in one part Of the
world, such as in Africa. These
five groups were pond ami
mails, desert animals, jungle
animals, night animals, and
deep-sea animals. The entire
display was assembled for
mounting on the schools bulle-
tin board, which thus showed
both the individual Animal
Study sheets and the large col
ored pictures under the heading
Animals We Meet in Books"
Perhaps the strangest-look-
ing creatures that the children
depicted were three: an upside
down sloth, duck billed platy-
pus (sort of a geological mis-
take), and manatee. But the
children didn't stop with these
and other odd denizens of our
earth's wilder places.
Under a mammoth heading
81 Thought | Saw Lepre-
chaun," the children entered
into the spirit of st. Patrick's
Day by drawing a colored pic
ture Of what they thought a
leprechaun would look like.
Since no one has ever seen one
of these beasties, they were en-
tirely on their own in drawing
one; and the creature they pro-
duced could we'll be a lepre-
chaun for all of us, who are not
in a position to contradict them.
What did it look like? Well, /
like leprechaun, we guess.
Illustrations i
With Puppet.
In undertaking the study of
the comparative size of objects,
the morning kindergarten class
Of Mrs. Jean Bayer at Prospect
School decided to illustrate the
story of "Goldilocks and the
Three Bears" with puppets of
sizes.
This story is a natural one
for such a purpose, because
Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Baby
Bear, and Goldilocks-to say
nothing of the House Of Pink
are all of different dimensions.
Using paper bags stuffed with
newspaper to make heads and
bodies Of their characters, the
,hildren added facial features,
arms and legs to their puppets
20 make them look like the per-
son or animal they were sup
posed to represent. They also
made House of Pink out of
PAPER, to act as the setting for
their story.
They plan to use these OBJ
iects in a puppet play about
Goldilocks, and to walk their
characters through their parts

Ruthann Banks staged their
circus a couple of weeks ago,
the third graders in Mrs. kath-
crime Knife's room helped them
out. The two classrooms are
both on the second floor of the
school, with the Auditorium
between them; and the younger
children went into the Auditor
ium early, to help with the
tickets and the staging and
other things, and just to be
generally useful.
Last week Mrs. Banks chill
dren had an opportunity to re-
turn the favor. 1t seems that
Mrs. Knife's third graders
were just finishing their unit
of study on the Indians, as a
part of which they had pre-
pared a kind of TV "spectacu-
lar" and the older children
helped them produce it.
The TV show was worked out
in this way. Each child in Mrs.
Knife's class had made a col
ored drawing of some aspect OF
Indian life, whether of the
plains, the forests, the noun
tains, or the desert; this made
some twenty-five or thirty pic
lures in all. These they mount
ed on a long strip of shelf
paper, in such a way as to pro-
duce a continuous roll of col
ored pictures.
The sixth grade boys then
took this roll and made rollers
for each end or it, like a pair
of vertical window shades. They
fastened the paper to it to
make large scroll of Indian
scenes.
Then they got a large box
and made a replica of a tele-
vision set out of it, with pro-
visions made at each side of
he picture screen" for spin
lie and crank. The scroll of
pictures was inserted on these
;pindles, and then each picture
.ould be cranked across in
'ront Of the picture tube"
,ausing there while its young
artist told the rest of the chill
iren what the picture contained.
The experiment worked out
,ery well, and the older chill
Iren learned just as much
bout the American Indians as
he younger ones did. Mean

Your Own Business

1T is a good idea for the average citi-
zen to keep up with national and in
ternational affairs, but it is better
idea for him to keep up with his per-
sonal affairs.
Among these, one would include bust
ness interests and also the development
Of personality, which is often neglected
by individuals.
There may not be much an individual
can accomplish in solving the great
problems that BATTLE statesmen, but
there is no reason why any person can
not accomplish considerable in regard
to his, or her, personal advancement.
Despite the belief in luck and fate,
this is accomplished by hard work, in
GLIDING the abundant use Of such intel
ligence as the individual possesses.

Germans Enslaved

A dlsillusioned refugee from eastern
Europe recently wrote major
European newspaper and lamented the
fact that Hungarians, East Germans
and other white peoples ensIaved in the
communist system were not getting
more sympathetic consideration, and
help, from the United Nations, the
United States and other leading demo-
cracies
The gist Of the letter was simple -
the writer said it was pity East Ger
mans were white. If they were any
other color, yellow or black, the writer
argued, the U. N. and the leading demo-
cracies of the world would be turning
every possible stone until the people
were decolonized - liberated.
But, these poor white people, who
cannot claim the symapthy Of the
world by claiming to be yellow or black,
are left to their fate, enslaved under
communism and given little hope of de-
colonization!

Civil Rights Bill
Unconstitutional
Editor. F,arnyille Herald:

Editor, Farmville Herald:
The so-called Civil Rights Act
Of 1868 -S1731 - now before the
Senate is 50 grossly unconstitu-
tional as to boggle the imagi-
nation. In practically every
paragraph it does violence to
the supreme law of the land
and unless our people awaken to
its malign magnitude. our vaunt-
ed personal liberty will be swept
from us. Not 10 years from now,
not next year: Now, with the
passage Of this bill.
AS you will learn, if you get
copy Of it from one Of your
Senators. Sl731 has eight titles,
or sections. All but the eighth is

which. ostensibly. seeks to abol-
ish discrimination in public
places.
The bill argues-this is, Presi-
dent Kennedy's argument - be-
cause people are not equally &C.
ceptable, everywhere, in hotels
motels, eating places, doctors
office. etc, this imposes a "seri-
GUS and substantial burde r
upon interstate commerce.
Ponder that a moment. Presi
dent Kennedy, in his bill, does
not say forthrightly that owners
of such establishments do MOI
have the right, under the Consti
tuition, to choose what customers
they will serve. And well he
doesn't for the Supreme Court

ruled proprietors do have thai
right.
So, to avoid embarrassing the
Warren court. and perhaps hav
ing his own effort at circum
venting the Constitution added
to this unbroken string, he has
chosen new tack, the inter
state-commerce clause Of t h {
Constitution.
This, in substance, is the
Presidents argum en- t: Mrs
Murphy, in not taking into hel
boarding house people who, from
her point of view, are undesir
able, imposes a serious anC
substantial burden on interstate
commerce
| Upon what does the President
base his reasoning?
! Follow the new logic. Since
Mrs. Murphy must obtain 3
state license to operate, in be-
ing licensed, she becomes, ir
effect, an agency of the state
Therefore, she becomes subject
first, to the Fourteenth Amend
ment and then, by devious pro

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-PreS-
dent Kennedy is allowing his ne
g0tiatOrS to make some aStOund-
ing concessions to Dictator Fldel
Castro in backstage dealings in
volying Cuban refugees.
In addition to barring anti
Castro raiders from operating
from U. S. soil, the State De-
partment has bowed to Castro S
demand that he designate so per
cent of all persons migrating to
this country.
Under this secret arrange
ment, Castro is sending to the
y. S. thousands Of so-called
refugees" who actually are ma
tionals Of other countries, among
them Russia, and, Yugo-
slavia. Czechoslovakia, Hungary
Spain and Brazil.
Already an estimated 1000 of
these spurious refugees have
entered this country.
These and other more startling
details Of the secret dealings
with Moscow-puppet Castro were
uncovered by a House Judiciary
subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative Michael Feighan, DO,
in a private scrutiny Of the ad-
miistration' handling of the
Cuban refugee program.
In a closed-door grilling of
Abba P. Schwartz. head Of the
State Departments Bureau Of
Security Affairs, nd George
Phelan, chief of the Documen-
tation Bureau. the committee
discovered that these secre
agreements with Castro were ar
ranged through two channels.
DEALING WITH CASTRO =
AS revealed by Schwartz, talks
between Castro and New York
attorney James Donovan, who
ransomed the Bay Of Pigs pris-
oners, started the flow of refu-
gees by plane and ship.
Later, after Castro demanded
a major voice in determining
who would be allowed to leave

a series of State Department
communications h r ou G h the

The Honorable A. Willis Robertson
United States Senate
Washington D. c.
Dear Senator Robertson:
l am bit puzzled as to how to respond to
your letter of July 10 because of the reference,
in the first few lines of it, to the recent state
ment of law deans and professors. In essence
that statement calls attention to the words of
the Constitution itself respecting 1.-The supreme
Law of the Land and the role of the SUI
rreme Court hereunder as well as the pur-
pose Ito insure domestic tranquility While
forbear quoting the entire two and one-half
pages of it. few sentences from the last
paragraph seem to me most timely. They
read as follows
"Order is less an essential part
of law than Justice. and civil duties
are as basic civil rights. Lawless-
ness breeds laWlessness on both sides.
1t may quickly get out of the control
Of those who initiated il in minor
way and turn into uncontrolled mob
violence. Those who in their zeal for
change would violate the law hamper
the means by which their purpose may
be achieved
The Founders often said as much or more.
Some of us thought these things NEEDED saying
again. l am appending to this letter the full
individual capacities.
My endorsement of sentiments such as
those is. of course, far cry from any claim
to special competence to furnish all the an
swers to the technical questions your letter
in effect prOpounds. The issues you have in
mind relate to the first sentence of Section
Col of the recently proposed Civil Rights Act
which reads as follows:
Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary in any law of the United
States providing authorizing direct
indirect financial assistance for or
in connection with any program ac-
fivity by way OF grant, contract, loan,
insurance, guaranty, otherwise, no
such law shall be interpreted as requir-
ing that such financial assistance shall
be furnished in circumstances under
which individuals participating in
benefting from the program activity
are Disseminated 6 a INST on the
ground Of race, color, religion. or ma
tional origin are denied participa-
ton or benefits therein on the ground
of race, color religion, or national orr
GIN"
Your fear is that these somewhat artful
words in effect confer what YOU term dicta-
torial powers and you ask: Under what con-
stitutionalz authority can the Congress pass a
law of that kind?"
Whether the quoted language will become
law in its present form. presume no one can
say Moreover, if it is adopted in this or some
other form, no doubt the savings provisions
OF Section SO2 will remain in it. That pro-
vision reads as follows:
.H any provision Of this Act the
application thereof to any person
circumstance is held invalid, the re.
mainder of the Act and the application
of the provision to other persons or
circumstances shall not be affected
thereby
In view Of the possible changes in Section
6Cl and the possibilities under Section 8O2
whatever l may say at this time must be
more or less speculative.
With that caution in mind what l am able
to say may be said briefly. It may be said
all the more briefly since, as you point out
