Buying Boycott In
Memory Of Children

Memory OF Children
Editor: How important is civil
rights 10 us? The Negro in the
North? We have not fought man.
killing dogs, been constantly SUBJ
jected to police brutality, or been
jailed for demanding our rights.
What are we sacrificing for Civil
Rights? L? The idea of not purchas-
ing gifts, toys or extra clothing
for Christmas appeals 10 me.
What a sman sacrifice when
Medgar Evers gave his life. Con-
slider the plentiful ChHstmases in
the past and those in the future,
Is this such a supreme effort?
When I think Of the over-spodled
children and self-indulged adults
who will bypass this chance to
contribute one small spark Of rae
ial unity, 1t makes me ashamed.
Poor Santa Claus, what viii the
children think What to tell them?
How about explaining his grief be-
cause Of the injustices suffered by
Negro children in other parts of
the country. Then they will see
Santa standing on many corners
smiling, jolly and wishing all a
Merry Xmas. Another explana-
ton? The money buys food for
people who have nothing TO eat. I
have already started 10 explain an
unusual Christmas to my children.
This Is not easy, but daily for
several months teleWsion has been
constantly covering the racial
problem. I pray this boycott is
successful, why? Because I have
not the courage TO march in a
protest demonstration in Alabama.
Because I would hide some place
rather than be snapped at by a
dog, knocked down and injured by
water hoses, or beaten by officers
clubs. And because would stay
home with doors locked rather
than go TO jail.
I thank God I do not have these
trials to withstand, although I feel
I must contribute something, time,
energy, anything possible. How
many of your children are reahs-
tically removed from the import
ance of this racial revolution? Let
them become a part Of it, their
future is involved.
Children younger than mine
know what the fight Is for and
live in a tight frightening pre-
JUDGED world from day to day. ri
believe what the many accomp-
Hsh with their lives benefits all
Americans. This unttes us, as in
the past, against injustice. Please
won't all Of you join in this boy
cott against Christmas purchasing.

School Budget Backed
By Critics of 'FriIIs'

A move to discontinue some
special programs in Montgom-
cry County schools, such as
foreign languages in elemen-
tary grades and driver train
ing, was both supported and
opposed last night during a
public hearing before the
County Council.
Most persons who spoke at
the public hearing on the
Board Of Education's proposed
$3.50 million budget for 1884
opposed the boards decision
to end the special programs.
Two speakers, Mrs. Mary
B. Mohler and Mrs. Marie
Malik. former teachers with
more than 80 years experience,
argued against "frills" in cdu-
cation and criticized the adj
ministration Of School Supt.
C. Taylor Whittier.
Contending that the pro-
economy school board majority
was elected because voters
wanted a change of direction
and program in the schools,
Mrs. Mohler said teachers who
voted sought changes in prac-
tices so that they can really
teach"
She asked the council to
begin a study of teachers
morale to find out why it is
"at an all-time low" Mrs.
Malik agreed and added that
Mrs. Mohler was very con-
sentative in her statements
about the discomfort in
schools"

subscribe to the theory that
the educationist can develop
the whole child and produce
a better citizen than can the
parent"
An earlier speaker, Eta Mae

Education, set the critical tone
by calling for deletion Of for
eign language and all expert
mental programs "in order
that our education officials
may give more of their time
and attention to the strength
ening of the fundamentals of
education. :"
On the other hand, the for
eign language program was
strongly supported by DR.
Frederick D. Eddy, professor OF
French at Georgetown Univer-
'sity. and q majority Of the
other speakers.
The council was urged by
two high school student lead
ers to keep the night school
library service in operation. A

the service was read by its
president, Clifford Arnebeck of
