Until a few weeks ago, 81
rural Negro families living near
Sommerville, Texas, seldom
knew for sure where their next
bucket of water was coming
from.
Maybe it would come from the
cistern if it hadn't gone dry,
or in barrel from town if the
truck didn't break down. Over
the years the families longed
for enough water to do the wash
without skimping, scrub floors
without feeling guilty of ex-
travagance, bathe whenever
they felt like it, and live with
out fear of their homes burning
down because there was no
water for fire fighting.
Gail this is now thing of
the past" says Mrs. John R.
Reliford, a community leader.
Two miles Of pipe now connect
the 81 homes with the Sommer-
vile water supply, and fire hy-
drants are conveniently spaced
throughout the community.
A crew began laying the pipes
late last summer after the
Formers Home Administration
of the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture insured a $24, 900 bank
loan to the community's incor-
porated "Sommerville Rural
Water Association"
The association paid down ST.
$50 from the sale Of stock at
S35 share. Each family pur-
chased share. The remainder
of the bill will be paid through
monthly water fees which the
association will collect from
families.
When the water was turned
on last December, one house
wife said, THANK God, victory
at last"
1t had been a long uphill eff
fort. When they first built their
homes in the little community
beyond the boundary of Som
merville, they could count on
the rain to keep their cisterns
filled. Then rain became less
certain; there were frequent
years of drought when the els
terms went dry and the men
had to haul water from town.
Concerned about the uncertain
water supply which had led
some families to move away. the

u. S. May Build
On Integrated
Schools On
Military Bases
Officials Say
Decision On
Impacted Areas
Coming Soon

Washington, D. G. Feb. II -
A high administration official
said Friday that the government
will decide very soon, probably
within matter of days whether
it will build schools on Military
bases located in segregated
areas of the south.
James Quigley, assistant
health, education and welfare
secretary, said a decision must
be reached soon in fairness to
the school districts and to allow
enough time to build the
schools. o..
The schools would be used for
children who live on military
reservations. Servicemen's child
rem and those of federal work
ers who do not live on bases
are not considered under this
program.
Quigley said the possibility
of building schools was not a
departure from the policy state
ment made by former depart
ment secretary Abraham Ribi-
coff.
Quigley said Ribicoff never
stated federal funds will be cut
for school districts refusing to
accept these children on a de-
segregated basis. He said only,
according to Quigley, that
schools refusing to accept the
children without regard to race
would be deemed unsuitable.
If the government decides to
build schools, however, the
school district affected would
lose some federal funds under
the impacted area aid program.
From this program, school
districts receive 2 certain a
mount for each school child who
comes into the area because of
a federal activity.
On the other hand, Quigley
said, they will not be responsible
for the education of these child
rem.
The government had three
choices, he said:
Build school on the base.
Lease building from the
school district and run it with
government personnel.
Lease building from the
school district and contract with
local officials to run it.
Quigley recently completed a
negotiating trip to Georgia and
South Carolina which indicated
little chance of getting leased
buildings.
At Charleston, S. c., he was
told that school authorities
could not lease any building to
the government. In Libertyville,
the county site Of Ft. Stewart
he found no buildings available.
Among areas under considera-
tion are Northern Florida,
Memphis, Tenn, Austin, Texas,
and Biloxi, Mississippi.

FARISH STREET SATUR-
DAY NIGHT: When l look back
at when / was a youngster l can
see what it meant to me to have
had the opportunity to set a.
round with and listen to the
talks and conversations going on
amongst some of the real sages
of Parish Street. My two fav-
orites was DR.. S. D. Redmond,
first and great doctor and then
a great lawyer under whom
studied, and "Col." E. L. Patton,
statesman philosopher in my
opinion if there ever was one .
It was about one of the Coloners
sayings that thought about
whilst / was eatin ma feesh and
drinking my beer after l heard
one of Aine Haggar's Chillun
lamenting the fact that he's jess
lost his job fact being when
the man paid -him-off Friday
evening he told i'm he wouldn't
need him no more His buddy
at the table listening with some
show Of sympathy responded to
his lament by saying, Man,
told you you'd better stop lay
ing off the job one or two days
eber week and that was
what put me to thinking bout
one of Colonel Patton's sayings
which was that Aine Hag-
gar's Chilluns don't never want
a job It'll they lose the one they
got back in them days l
don5t believe that right-away l
understood what he meant .
but | do now What he meant
was that jess let us git a good
job, and ten to one, before too
long we'll be treating the job so
bad tell finally the man makes
up his mind that you don't want
the job, lets you go and hires
somebody else l say when
you git a good job treat it lack
you want it cause Colonel
Patton said us Aine Haggar's
Chillun is got to quit giving
other folks the idea that the only
time, we want a job is i. when
we lose the one we already got.
