Through his mother and
grandmother, Timothy had
developed sincere faith.
Then the time came when he
needed to put his faith into
action. His spiritual father,
the Apostle Paul. recognized
Timothy's great possibilities,
and encouraged him to und-
ertake the things lie knew to
be right. But Timothy was
not 4 self-starter; he was
hesitant to undertake the
things he knew to be right.
How many of us are Tim

1t Is Shameful

DRINCE Edward County, Virginia,
has been misunderstood. maligned
and abused publicly by more people
than probably any other county in the
nation 1t is understood, encouraged and
admired privately by more people than
any other county in the nation
Its situation is not Of its own choos-
ing. The county was one of five coun-
ties in the nation chosen by the NAACP,
we believe deliberately, to break down
all vestlges Of racial separation in every
phase Of society in the United States.
Public schools have borne the brunt Of
this assault. Negro children of the coun-
tN have been paWns in the hands of at
torneys interested more in indignation
than in education. The record shows
that private efforts were made to pro-
vide education for the Negro children
and recent acts of the county'S school
board in making available public pro-
perry for their use under private ad-
ministration certainly shows beyond
question the interest in education Of the
school board, a public body.
The people through their elected re-
representatives. have attempted to find
a solution to an unsatisfactory situa-
ton, created by unusual and unpre-
cedented decisions Of courts now en-
meshed in their own DECISIONS Prince
Edward has broken no law, has INDUCED
in no act of violence, has spoken i'll Of
no one, not even its harshest critics.
Its contentious have been aired in courts
Of law from the lowest to the highest.
In no case has there been any unethical
acts, subtle maneuvers or evasiveness.

Prince Edwards position was made
crystal clear in May of 1855.
Shorn Of all legalisitic language
the question simply stated is:
Can Legislative body be forced to
lery taxes By federal judicial edict?
That is the question before the fed
eral courts today. That is the question
Prince Edward wants answered.
If the answer is affirmative, the con-
troll Of the public school system is in
the hands Of the courts, for if they can
order taxes levied, they can dictate the
the amount Of taxes to be levied, and if
they can dictate the amount of the levy,
we find ourselves being taxed without
representation contrary to the basic
principles upon which this Republic was
founded.
A precedent set in education may
hold for any other public function, vel
fare recreation. highways, rivers and
harborS, or what not
If the answer is negative, the control
Of public education will return to the
people and their duly-elected represent
atives who, we believe, can and will
find a solution.
Prince Edward is not ashamed. The
"shameful' existing condition in educa-
ton lies at the doors Of the evasiveness
of court procedures. Of disregard by
NAACP attorneys for the education OF
children, by refusal of Negro parents
under pressures we think, to accept edu-
cation as proposed on numerous occas-
ions
Prince Edward stand steady!

There was some assurance a.

office that crime would b in
vestigated and a stop gap erect
ed to discourage crime. It Is
sure needed as crime is daily in-
creaSing and the threats Of more
crime to come. Yet. I fear that
there hangs the good resolution

until the crime is committed.

a crisis in the foreign policy.
Regardless of all setbacks we
are promised a terrific boom in
business in the coming year
with initiation. There will be some
sort of tax so-called reduction.
The average taxpayer will not
feel it and politics will get on

Even the most concerted per-

to be liked. There is nothing

wrong about the pleasure there
is in being praised. A danger

too easy to take flattery for sin
cere commendation. It is easy
to forget that. for the most part,
"prais is like perfumery,

disheartemng to work hard with
out a word of praise = to give
the best one has to a piece Of
work only to find that nobody
cares about it one way or the
other. At this point we should
ask ourselves: Am I making

ing good word for others?
Could a word from me be the

made it quite clear that he did
not mean to praise himself, and
so it was with Paul. The Apostle
mixes with his own story. as he
told it, a good many apologies
for sounding like a boaster. He
leaned over backwards to keep
from commencing himself. 1t is
