Covered Di»h Supper At Reynolds Memorial A . “covered dish*' supper at the Reynolds Memorial Baptist church in Sperryville next Sunday afternoon at 4:30 will launch the open•j;..ing of the campaign to line up supporters for the Blue Ridge Summer Music Festival, which is to take in half dozen surrounding : counties with headquarters in Rappahannock county. V*-'*^*^ ■M -William Haaker, the1 musical •director of the Virginia Orchestra p} State Guild and the Richmond ' Symphony, with his wife, will be ..1 -on hand to give final instructions j and discuss the location and other questions. The county'has been divided into two sections, one centering in Sperryville and the other in Washington, with two co-chairmen in charge. Each will have six or j more captains under them. The namess of approximately 200 residents of the county will be assigned equally to the two divisions. Workers are to ask each prospect • "to indicate the degree of Ui in xerest on a Diana such as tnis: * “To cooperate in establishing the Blue Ridge Summer Music i Testival in Rappahannock county, ' 1 will become a charter patron • 1 and will <1) buy (so many) tick* ets at $8; each ticket entitling holder to attend three concerts; _(2) contribute (so much) cash, payable May 1 to help cover the launching expenses; (8) under* write a reasonable amount toward any shortage that may appear in ■securing minimum required 'from ticket sales and contributions.** Washington and its end of the •county is in charge of Mrs. D. D. Miller, who has thus far appointed as her captains: Miss hgancy Moore, Mrs. L. V. Merrill, and Lide Bearing. Operating from the flperryville base and covering the other end —of the county, the Rev. A. Paul Thompson is the chairman and his captains are Mrs. R. G. Quain* tance, Jr., Mrs. A. W. Yowell, James Atkins. Mrs. Georare Tav ■ lor, Mrs. Lucio Kelby, and Mrs. Z. H. Sealock.

E. Johnson, Jr., (SperryviBe-3(382) or Mrs. Honing CSperryville-3821) not later than Saturday noon for instructions on food to bring. The widespread interest already shown in this important development in the county has increased during the past week, and there seems no doubt about the, necessary support of the project being secured within the next few days. The chairman of the Washington section has already reported ticket sales of $225. The slogan for the enterprise has been adopted as "I’ll be glad to co-operate,” Stolen Car Recovered Near Elkton } Early yesterday morning word was received that the stolen car, belonging to Herndon C. Hudson of Washington, had been located near Elkton. Extent of damages was not learned, but it was known that the car could not move under its own power and had to be ‘towed to a garage. , The car, a 1349 Chevrolet, was’ driven by Mr. Hudson Saturday night, January 27, to his work at the American Viscose plant at Front Royal. He parked the car about midnight, when he went to work, and it was gone when he came out the following morning to go home. At what hour the car was taken is unknown. '' * ■ '■ ■/■.

It is still a mystery why only a fraction of those infected are disabled. March of Dimes supported scientists in leading institutions throughout America are trying to find ways to protect the susceptible. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has spent $13,100,000 for polio research into treatment and prevention. Scientists feel confident that Marchof Dimes financed research will end in control of infantile paralysis within our lifetime. The people of Rappahannock county can help by increasing their contributions to meet the 1951 need for $50,000,000 throughout the nation. Mrs. T. C.

Local Draft Board Members Receive No Pay Members of Local Boards of Selective Service receive no par for their work; they work entirely f r o'm patriotic motives, State Headquarters for Selective Service emphasized today. A Local Board is composed of three or more members, recommended by the Governor and appointed by the President of the United States. In addition to the board members, it is pointed out that there is a Government Appeal Agent and several Medical Ad Visors who are associates of the Local Board, and who also' serve without pay. Under the provisions of federal law the Local Board registers those required by law to register ~ and classifies its registrants. When it receives from the State Director a call for armed forces physical examination, or a call for induction, the Local Board selects and orders to report the number of men required. Classification is determined entirely upon the written evidence contained in the registrant's file, the determination being governed, by the provisions of law. Only the members of the Local Board have a vote in the proceedings of the board. . All evidence concerning the ~ case of a registrant should be submitted, in written form, to the Local Board, for the Local Board only has authority to determine classifications. If, after being clas. sified, a registrant is not satisfied with his classification, he may note an appeal to the Board of Appeal within ten days after he is notified of the classification. If the employer or a dependent of the regitrant has filed written evidence prior to the date of classification, each has the right of appeal within ten days after notification of classification. An official of State Headquarters of Selective Service added, “The registrant always has the right of appeal to the Board of Appeal within ten days after he is notified of his classification. To note an appeal, notify the Local ^ Board either by letter or by a personal visit to the Local Board office.” ‘'Liberty Hall” Sold By Mrs. Frank Gibb, Jr. Mrs. Frank Gibb, Jr., of Washington, D.C., formerly Miss Julia Yates of Rappahannock county, has just sold her farm of 214 acresand a pre-Revolutionary brick home .of 9 rooms, located on the Manor road, seven miles south of Front Royal, The buyers were Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Columbia of Orange City, Florida.

Published Thursday Homing it Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: .... $2.00 a year It's A Hard'Job In anticipation of those who sure going o say that the present achbol buildings are "better than the ones of former days and teach less," there are a few facts to be presented. In 1870, when the public school system was inaugurated in Virginia, the men who set it up were products of private-sehool days and., graduates of William and Mary land University of Virginia. They patterned the schools by what they knew: the old academic instruction of grammar and Latin. A larger part of the older generation grew up under this schooling and today they think education a failure if the graduate cannot show some background in such. These grammar and Latin schools served a yery smlal percentage of society-—approximately a tenth of the population, those ■who made up the lawyers, doctors, ° and gentlemen farmers. After World War 1, it was agreed that many of the people had lacked educational advantages. A change was needed. Everything else was changed, so a change was expected in the education system, too. The changes came—by the thousands. Like all change, the pendulum swung from ope extreme to the other. The public schools became a wild bed of experimentation. Every theory, concocted in a nightmare of some rattled-brain professor or evolved by the heavy thinking of a few wise men took its turn in the ex-, perimentation. There was tthe period of “let the little darlings do whatever they wishsome /ellow tried “never let the little dears know what failure is, for they will become inhibited." To put it mildly, the schools tried _ everything except reading, writing, and arithmetic. Within the past two years someone discovered that the Three R’s were missing. They are trying to correct that now. Please bear in mind that many of the present-day teachers came through schooi in those “experimental1’ days. They may even have hit the era of learning to read and spell by the ight method and the sound of a letter may be as foreign to them as the race of Pheidippides. It is not their fault. The school system is reaping what it sowed. You can look at the public school system in the light of being democratic. The schools must serve all. Those old grammar and Latin schools served a very small number. The children who did not fit the school dropped out, some in the third, some in the fifth, and some went as far as the seventh grade. The school no longer met their needs. There was no tax burden to make a school fit ten per cent of the population. It is going to be an entirely different picture when tiie schools have to meet the needs of all the children, but, according to democracy, that is their job. The schools today must still have the old grammar and Latin classes, fqr ten per cent of the children must not be neglected; but there must also be trade schools for another large per cent; and there must be schools to meet the needs of the rest of the per cent * To make the schools lit all needs is no easy job, bat H has to bo done. Arm-Chair Strategists - .->< '■y.X'The arm-chair supervisors are going to work overtime. With this music festival program coming into'lining, and the high school building being discussed, the armchair brigade will surely be putting in extra time and energy. This host of citizens—by," far the majority, always—will sit at home and state clearly and emphatically exactly how all of it should be done. They can point to every mistake that will be made and tell precisely how it should have been avoided. They can offer suggestions innumerable as to better ways the whole affair should hate been handled. Now, if they could just be persuaded to come forward with a few of their suggestions in time for them to be put into action, it might be a great help—but that ia not their policy nor practice. They shall sit back and do nothing; and then, at a later day, when their aid is still needed— they eriticise, and throw up their hands in disgust, and say they want nothing to do with the whole affair! (That is always appropriate, however, for “nothing" is usually what they have accomplished so far and is more than apt to be what they can do.) When the campaign is launched to get the music festival and the State orchestra summer camp located in Rappahannock, watch out for those who can tell you how it should have been done. (You’ll always find that the sum total of what they have done to help is exactly zero.) It would be a charming idea if there were some way to prorate the value of their suggestions, proportionately with the actual value, and send them a bill for it. As the discussion of the building of the high school for the county progresses, watch for your arm-chair committee. They will be the ones who never expressed an opinion nor made a single sug-^ gestion where it could haveNjpen heard and may have added to the thought of the interested citizens of the county. Yet they will be the loudest in deploring any mistake that is made by those who tried. For the ones who go to work, make mistakes, correct them, and keep on at work until the goal is reached, there can be this satisfaction: the arm-chair brigade will . applaud your success, in fact that is exactly what they said all along should have been done, only it took you longer to see it than it took them. Do you recall from your early schooling the poem of “Me and Betty, We Killed a B’ar”? When the music summer camp arrives in the county, the arm-chair brigade w'll be the first to brag about how hard “we” worked in getting it started. No doubt, “we” shall recall also how much had to be done before the question of the high school was settled. Committee Appointed For School Construction The following letter shows the appointment of an unofficial committee to make recommendations for a high school building in the county, addressed to Prof. H. B. Winfrey, principal of appahannock High School: Rappahannock’s share of the Battle Fund for schools is around $100,000. Since the State considers our present buildings inadequate, the only way we can get this is by new buildings. It cannot be used against old debts or for repairs to present buildings. In late December, our School Board, in order to qualify for barterTueatpf Presents “THE GLASS MENAGERIE” By TENNESSEE WILLIAMS Author of “Laura” ■■■■&.mm TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6 i- ■ 8.00 P. M. ■: Ann Wingfield School Auditorium CULPEPER Admission:—00c and $1.20—(tax included) Sponsored by: Culpeper Jr. Chamber of Commerce M " 'ip;• -P these Betti* Funds, sent to Richmond our four-yeer pi eh for school improvements. This plen was reported to the County P.-T. , A. meeting at Washington on January 22. The plan calls for the building of a new high school for the county at Flat Woods. Since this is a matter of great importance to the whole county, the P.-T. A. grot p instructed the writer to select a committee of five to work on it. Of course the committee will not he an official group and can only make recommendations. Membership in the mittee was planned as follows: 1 member from Board of Supervisors, 1 member from School Board, 1 member from school teachers, .2 members from school patrons. In accordance with instructions given me at the P. T. A. meeting, I have appointed the following committee, with you as temporary chairman: J. P. Cook, Member Board of Supervisors; J. Maurice O’Bannon, member School Board; H. B. Winfrey, Principal Rappahannock High School; Mrs. John Davis, and L. J. Kilby. The members of this committee will receive a copy of this letter. The committee is urgently re questea w mane a repviw w County P. T. A. group at its meeting in Fefruary. The work as outlined is: 1. Determine whether or not a new High School is needed and give reasons. 2 If a new High School is need* ed, plan its minimum size, bearing in mind the fact that the county is not growing, but also keeping in mind future requirements for an accredited school. 3. Select the building material and get general estimates on one or two building lay-outs. 4. From above estimates, report the approximate amout of money that the county will need to borrow and reflect this in our tax rate. NOTE: Any present school indebtedness should probably be reported as to its purpose, size at beginning, and size now. NOTE: There are a number of people who advocate some direct jtax for schools in order to a: Equalize the burden; b. Improve interest. (Our Poll Tax now yields about $2,300. per year, and sale of tags fd* dogs about $2,300.) Yours very truly, C. E. Johnson, Jr., President, _ County P. T. A. Letter To Editor Sir:— , In order to secure the $100,000 so called “Battle Fund,” with which to erect a new high school building, th5s county will have to raise $150,000 or more to build it as per the present State demands for a high school. No contractor will now build for less than 10 per cent on the cost and as contractors are human, the bids would be enormous. Making the jail escape-proof cost approximately $21,000. To raise the $150,000 needed for the high school building would mean bonding the county with a staggering debt; to keep up the interest on these bonds would mean doubling the county 1-vy of $2 on $100 of assessed property; the schools get $1.75 of each $2.00 paid in taxes. There are now 1000 less people in the county than were ten years ago according to the last census. The “Battle Fund” money was paid into the State Treasury in excess taxes and should be returned to the counties to use at their discretion. This money would build the two additional rooms now needed. If this cannot be done, send the graduating 1952 class of nineteen or more, by bus to Warren county. The two counties' are under one superintendent who with a little ingenuity could work out a feasible plan to take care of them.

Among the latest crop was one from a gentleman in Italy who , wishes to correspond with “some young, cultured dynamic woman of the City of Washington, Vir- ; ginia” and he states quite frankly that his object is matrimony. He describes himself as being quite handsome, and sent a picture of himself. The photo now reposes on the bulletin board of Rappahannock News office and everyone is invited to come and pass a critical eye. (All “young, cultured, dynamic women will please form in a line on the right.) The pipe-smoking printer at the office has taken a good look at the gentleman and has already drawled, “What's wrong with him . that no woman in Italy will marry him?” . ♦ * * There is another letter, also posted on the bulletin board, which states that a firm in France is looking fof prospective markets and wishes a list of distributors and importers of wines and liquors. Someone suggested that they wanted to undermine the industry of the county; that apples are the product here, and “applejack” is the proper means of wetting the whistle. Therefore, those frenchmen should keep their grapes—or whatever the product —at home and not interfere with Rappahannock's business. * * * One of the first fan-letters that arrived in the county came not to the ladies in general, but to one lady in particular.

S" Flint Hill P.-T. A, Discusses Education Mr. John B. Boatwright, Jr. fiec’ty Commission to Study a Foundation Program in Education Richmond, Va.. k- Dear Sir; ■■ At our regular P.-T. A. meeting January 9, 1951, We held a panel discussion on the* three questions set forth in your letter of November 20, 1950, and our comments are as follows: 1. What courses are most important for the public schools to te;ach? • Courses and Reasons for teaching: ( Arithmetic—Basis for all coputation. Develops reasoning power. Arts—(To sense objects truly. English—To use and appreciate . accurate language. • Geography and History — To have at least an elementary ‘ undertanding of other peoples; their habits, locations and backgrounds. -4 Health-—An essential 'factor for all other learning. ‘ ( Physical Education—By use of playground equipment' ,< Reading—Medium of all learning from books. Spelling and Writing—To correctly interpret ourselves. Our main emphasis should be on basic skills that can be carried over into (whatever field one en. ters. To read well, to write well and to speak effectively are skills that are used in every occupation. 2. What, in your opinion, are the . objectives , of the public - schools? The basic object of the public schools is to educate each individ■ ual so lie may experience a better adult life. To obtain this objective we feel all pupils who are capable of receiving basic elementary training should be given this opportunity. For these pupils who are not able to acquire this training, an educational program incorporating manual training ahquld be .given. There are many localities that are not able financially to support this type of training—for these localities we suggest that the compulsory school law be-revised to allow those who should be taking manual training to discontinue schooling. This would be. an important step toward raisings | ' FOR SALE | MACK TRUCK Model E-H, 1944 i 176-in. wheel base; stake body 10.00x20 tires—'air brakes | WILL SELL REASONABLE H. H.

(e) As parents <we expect teachers to so behave as to commend the respect of their pupils; to create interest in the text and to develop in them a desire to learn. We feel that discipline, obedience and thoroughness are important elements in the school as well as in the home and should be the joint responsibility of both. (b) We feel that the objectives of the schools are to educate boys and girls—to develop all their powers, .mental, physical and moral—and that the responsibilities of the home and school are interchangeable. Anything that aids or retards the development of a child is the joint responsibility of the home and school. We recommend closer association and more frequent conferences between the teachers and parents. FLINT HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Mrs. John S. Browning, President P.-T. A. Women Over Eighty— “Mia. Lizzie” (From North Wilkesboro. N. C., Journal-Patriot). If the day is warm and you’re near the corner of Tenth and B Streets in the mid-afternoon, keep your eyes open. You’ll see Miss Lizzie come switching by. Not walking, you understand, but switching. If the day is rainy , you may see her but not recognize who she is; she’ll be so bundle up in ^ain-gear and those blessed galo-T shers. If the day is windy, you . needn’t look for her; die won’t be out. Who la this “Miss Lizzie’’? It is Mbs Lizzie Hizle who is the representative for the Northwestern Mutual Insurance Company. If you art saying to yourself, “She eouldn’t possible be over sixty MISS LIZZIE HISLE five," I beg your pardon. She was eighty last year! On September 25, 1869, Miss Elizabeth Lioyd Hisle was bom in Sperryville, Virginia, a town west of Alexandria, in the Blue Ridge Mountains between Luray "twai For thriftier fara bautbsg— > NEW INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS njMtyoo money' 1W« «f •7 different basic International it.

Her father, Lloyd HUle, was a Confederate veteran who ran the Hotel deHiale in Sperryville, twenty miles from any' railroad. - * When Mias Lizzie was in her teena she began to help her father in the hotel. It was here that she met her lifelong friends, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Smoot. Mr. Smoot had a tannery in Sperryville at this time and he would stay at Mr. His. le’s hotel whenever he was in (Sperryville on business. During the summers, Mrs. Smoot would bring the children over from Alexandria to spend their vacation at the Hotel de Hisle. Miss Lizzie would help care for the Smoot children while they were at the hotel and would often go back with them to their home in Alexandria when they left the mount-/ dins in the fall. Sometimes she’d visit a few weeks, sometimes until Christmas; but whenever she was there she was like Santa*Claus to the children. The tale is told that when the Smoots were in Alexandria, Clinton was a member of a band of spirited boys. Their chief delight lay in tormenting a cantankerous old neighbor, Mr. Griffin, who had a beard down to his waist. These boys, equipped with a notched spool, a nail, and some string, would stealthily put a "tick-tack” on long-suffering Mrs. Griffin’r window. When he heard the tictack-tick-tack begin at the window, Mr. Griffin, beard flying in. the wind, would pursue the gang. As the boys scattered, scrambling over the high board fence to reach their respective homes, Miss Lizzie would open the hack door of the Smoot’s home and wait open-armed to receive and protect young Clinton. Miss Lizzie has always had a store of love to give out. Perhaps she acquired her ability to lov^ and to forget herself when others need attention becaue «Ji® was the oldest child in a family of three sisters and a brother. More likely, she was just born and unselfish person who always turns the focus of attention from her ■elf to another. Even m her teens, •when someone commented upon her soft, hazel eyes, she’d quickly boast upon the beauty of one of her sister*. Miss Lizzie looks much the same now as she did many years ago when she attended Miss Annie Power’s one-room school. Her hair now grey and wavy, was thick and dark brown' in her youth. It was. long enough to reach to her ahkles, and she wore it then as she does now, in Cornet. style with two braids around her head. She has so much vivacity now that it is not hard -to imagine her in her teens** Can’t you see her enthusiasm as she packed fried chicken and cakes and helped get the other children ready to go to an all-day Camp Meeting? No doubt her eyes were serious when the preachers took turns exnostulating upon God’s goodness and Man’s need for repentance; but how they must have snapped when they looked out under the trees and saw long tables full of hams and pies > piled two feet high! - * , . At harvest, when a neighbor built a platform ou* in bis field for square dancing in the moon-' light, Miss Lizzie was invited. She was too friendly to be shy, but too independent to be coy. In 1896, Mr. Smoot built a tannery in North Wilkesboro, and he and his family moved here from Virginia. At the death of her father of whom she was so proud, Miss Lizzie came to live permanently with her dear friends, the Smoots. Until this day, Miss Lizzie has not lost her love of teasing, or her sence of humor. It is said that she has considered resigning from her book club because she is so busy, but that it members won’t let her do so because she adds spice to the meetings. She is an interesting conversationalist and well informed on current events, Her knowledge and love of literature and history gleaned from Miss Annie Powers’ schoolroom still enriches her personality. If you really want to exeite Miss Lizzie, casually mention the Northwestern Mntal Insurance Company. The late Mr. Waltei'-Gyyn sold her on the idea of becoming a sales-woman for this company , in the 1920s. She how has a sales talk which, if copyrighted could easily sell for a million. She be-* stows the same love oik her “product” that she does on all children. and her close friends. Her policy is the perfect policy, she’ll assure you — and what’s more, you will go away convinced. She baa never failed to sell the yearly quota set by the officials of the company. Each sale is like a booster shot for her. Those hazel eyes snap with excitement and give you feeling1 that you just made the wisest purchase of your life. Many the time >he has walked to Wilkesboro to sell a policy to some lucky client. ' Going “down the street” is one of Mias Lizzie’s greatest pleasures. ; She has to make her contacts for Northwestern and see what’s the latest thing in clothes. Don’t think Miss Lizzie wean somber browns. Her spring purchase was a pair § of green wedge shoes. ■letter to Editor A» it appears to an innocent bystander, the trouble and congestion in our schools was caused by lack of fore-thought and overcentralization. We have tried to use a system probably suited to j a town or city, but unfit for a rural community such as ours, ■where the children are widely scattered over a rough, mountainous country and serviced by bad roads. Our overlords, sitting in their offices, formulate a system without regard to conditions that exist in different sections. They concentrated the pupils and expanded overhead costs by discarding the .-small schools and hauling the children back and forth over the highways and hogpaths, to dawdle around an institution of noise and confusion. They have made several changes in the last 25 years, each .for the worse as far as education and expense are concerned. I suppose they think that cost doesn’t matter, that our country is headed fo. bankruptcy, anyway. But I do think we should spend .our cheap dollars on something practical, rather than ornamental. I expect it will be difficult to unscramble the omelet we now have. I sincerely hope our representatives will give this matter of building enough thought to realize that at this time, with cost oflabor and material at unheard-ofheights and rising, federaal taxes confiscatory and war threatening, to build now is folly. We should also realize that the grants, gifts, etc., from state and federal government are paid- for with our own money and are Very similar to the artificial bait used to catch the greedy fish. I suggest that we appoint a committee of four, composed of a representative of the school authorities, one of the patrons, one of the taxpayers, and a competent architect. Have them make a thorough survey of our school situation, such as buildings, population, distribution, transportation, etc., and publish their report and suggestions in the News. " Our people would then have • some basis upon which to form an opinion *and express their wishes and not be forced to jump from the frying pan into the fire, as in the past. —D. Lyle Miller. If you don't know Miss Lizzie Hisle, you're missing one of those dimples in life. Make it a point to be on the corner of B and Tenth Streets tomorrow afternoon about four o’clock when she passes by. You’ll know her, just look for a little grey-haired lady who walks as if she stops and chats at length with every other person, then dashes on with great purpose in her steps, you’ll know that’s Miss Lizzie. And if you haven’t met her, be sure to get someone to introduce you. You might be a prospect for Northwestern Mutual!

The Irish- potato crop for 1950 totaled about 440,000,000 bushels. Main sources of supply in February wilL be Maine, Idaho, Minne■ sota, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Colorado. Increased egg supplies are expected to show up on February markets, and for an attractive meat buy, the home agent suggests broilers and fryers. Turkeys and fish are other meats on the plentiful foods list for the month. Cottage cheese, peanut butter, and honey also will be plentiful. Instead of a wedge of cheese on the plate with apple pie, or grated cheese on top, how about melted cheese? After the pie is baked, lay thin slices of cheese or sprinkled grated cheese over the top. Then put the pie in a very moderate oven until the cheese is melted. Serve at once. If you wonder how to press a wool garment — on the right or wrong side—you'll be interested in this tip from clothing specialists* try a small place to see which gives best results. Usually it’s best to steam-press on the wrong side if the wool is likely to shine from pressing, or if the weave has a raised pattern. But if the wool is thick it may be best to press on the right side. After school is “hungry” time ifod mangr fchildren. They may want and need a light snack to “ carry them through until the evening meal. Janet Cameron, extension nutritionist, at V.P.I., points out that , this is a first-rate time to build up the daily milk qupta. Instead of serving milk “as is,” she suggests dressing it up^ sometimes— as a special treat. Eggnog has long been a favorite, and is packed with nutrients. Keep serving average in size in „ order not to dull the appetite for the evening meal. Eggnog is easy to make. Beat an egg thoroughly, sweeten very lightly, add a few drops of vanilla and then add the milk. Turn into serving glasses and add a sprinkle of nutmeg of cinnamon, or a little whipped cream. Vary the flavor as you wish by adding fresh or canned fruit juice, vnalted milk, or fruit syrup. Don’t ask the motor of an electric mixer to pull too big a load. When the beaters slow down, you have the first signal of an overloaded motor. Then, if you 'can’t hold the palm of your hand on •the mixer head—which contains the motor—you can be sure it is overheated. TRUSTEE’S SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE ' .

God gave us a wonderful mother, One of the world's best; And when her work on earth was done, God called her home to rest By her children, ROBERTA RUSSEL!*, FANNIE E.

It sum* up, so admirably, an intelligent and patient approach to the so* lotion of racial problems that we commend it warmly to allow readers.) By Davis Lee The more I travel, listen and observe, the more convinced I become that the Negro has been grossly misled in this matter of integration and civil rights. It appears to me that the first things should come first, and that our economic .well being is of greater sigificance than the pri'ilege or right to attend a white school or to- associate with white people on an equal ocial basis pro* vided by Supreme Court decisions and pressure legislation. As a Negro, and an American, I naturally want to see my race enjoy every right, privilege and opportunity enjoyed by any other American, but I am opposed to any type of agitation designed to deprive the other fellow of a right to be associated his own kind exclusively, if he desires. I would like to reserve such a right for myself and definitely would not want it encroached upon by a Supreme Court edict or any other kind of interference. The right granted to one or two Negroes in Virginia or some other Southern State to enter a State graduate school is of no benefit to the millions of our people who are in need of the bare necessities of ife, and when the fortunately situated members of the race conduct such campaigns of agitation for selfish gain, the needy masses suffer. wnue the south does not pro* tide ample or adequate modern school facilities for Negroes everywhere, neither does it protide completely modern facilities for— white schools, because the money is not available for such a vast undertaking. However, rapid prog* ' ress has been made and in Montgomery, Ala., and several other communities the Negro schools far exceed the white schools in modernization and physical appearance. Neither do the majority of Southenr Negroes nor the majority of the whites approve of the present program to disrupt a custom which has served both races Well down through the years and contributed so much to the Negroe’s economic security. Just what would be the future educational status of the Negro in the South if the Legislatures of all the Southern states would enact legislation withdrawing the State financial support from all schools of higher tearing, starting at the high school level? Not only, is this possible, but if it should eome to pass, the Negro would be unable to finance his own educational program. Negro financededucational programs have been a failure in the past and nothing miraculous has happened which would cause a normal person to assume that the future holds any better prospect. No race or nationality in this nation has excelled or equaled the Negro in educational attainment and achievement, but this educational opportunity was not only created by white dollars but has been financed by white people throughout the nation. It is an unfortunate' fact, that Negroes contribute very little to their own community well being and improvement and this fact should be taken into account by these agitators before .uey initiate their program for demands in the field of education. Instead ol snending thousands of dollars tr finance unnecessary court fights for priviliges which will cost the race millions in lost valuable friendships and racial goodwill, our leaden should go into the Negro ghettoes and force the local grocer to carry prime meats and sell to .ur people grade A products whit.lx will make ua healthy. * It is no wonder that the death' rate is so high among Negroes. When one considen the food situation plus inadequate hbusirig, it -i* a wonder- that- the- death -r« - not higher. _ : , It is "Very apparent to me that the Negro leaders of this nation have a distorted sense of real values. They appear to be more interested in breaking down racial barriers and conducting expensive : campaigns of agitation, in spreading hate, than in directing their efforts, energies and money tor wards the attainbent- of the tangible' essentials of life. I -was in Atlanta recently and was greatly impresdfed by the large number of outstanding and progressive Negro businesses. Atlanta is strictly a segregated city. I was in several New England citias where there is not supposed to be $ • any segregation, and I found hot one creditable Negro business. The one owned and operated Negro radio station is hot in New York, but in Atlanta. Segregation «» not only given the Negro in. .tit* South an opportunity to carve out' his' industrial and economic destiny, hut it has forced him to the fore as the most substantial and economically secure Negro in the world. The Negro in New York, Newark and other supposedly liberal - centers may enjoy the privileges to eat where he pleases or go to any theatre or public' place of amusement but a Negro can’t get a license in Newark to operate a liquor package store, and there are any number of fields that he can’t enter business in other Eastern and Northern cities. But this is not true in the South, a Negro can enter any kind of busi-. ness he wishes and Southern whites will even lend -the money. Some of the largest contractors in the South are Negroes.. ■ Northern Negro dollars spent to force Southern white universities to admit Negroes will certainly not .contribute anything towards continued good race relations in the South, and race relations were' definitely on the improve until all of these school suits started. I find more race prejudice in the East than I have found in Georgia or Mississippi. Two weeks ago 10 tourist camps refused to rent me a cabin just outside of 'Pittsburgh, and Pennsylvania is one of the first states to enact a civil rights law. If the NAACP is really interested in correcting a real evil in the school situation then it should direct its efforts toward the schools in Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, which is a little closer than the nearest Southern school target. The American race situation has not only taken on added alarming proportions hut has developed into a serious problem (which could explode and create a national crisis. Instead of trying to find peace in Korea and other foreign lands our leaders, both white and colored, should try to find a panacea for the racial ills and establish peace at home before advocating it abroad. We are not in a position to teach the .other fellow how to establish unrty in his bailiwick when we don’t have it in our own.
