Harrison Plant To Put Stop To "Junk Stair 1 * Hep. Bun' P. Harrison is planning to offer legislation in Congress to make so-called "Junk" mail pay its way. The 7th District Representative said he applied the term primarily to "unsoHcited advertising material 'which now enjoys a subsidy in the form of bulk rates." •Mr. Harrison emphasized he was aware of other subsidies in the postal rate structure and said: “Although many economies in mail-handling could and should be made, the tremendous continuing postal deficit is traceable largely to huge subsidies being received by various types of mail other than the first-class letter. In talking with citizens in many communities during the adjournment of Congress, I have found particular resentment against the uniordered advertising matter which clutters mail boxes each day. The public has become increasingly aware that its tax money is helping pay for the transportation of such material. ■ “Direct mail advertising: is a legitimate business, but the citizens with whom .1 have talked see no reason why it should not pay its way at first-class rates—just as do regular personal tad business cor. respondence—and neither do L "In the legislative consideration of this problem, I believe the claimed justifications of all other subsidies provided by cut-rate postal charges also should be {scrutinized before- we talk seriously about raising the 8-cent postage rate on first-class snail. First-class mail does not contribute to the postal deficit, according to the books of the Post Once Department, but. even shows a profit” Miss Lefia Gentry Awarded One-Year Kroger Scholarship Miss Lelia Gentry of Vlktt Hill has been awarded a one-year Kroger scholarship to VirginiaPolytechnic Institute, it has been announced by Dean L. B. Dietrick of the school of agriculture. Miss Gentry, daughter of'Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Gentry, is now attending the university’s school of home economics in Blacksburg. The $200, award is based on scholastic achievement and leadership in school, church, youth, or agricultural activities. A 1955 graduate of Rappahannock County School, Miss Gentry was valedictorian, and vice president of her class. She was winner of the Betty Crocker “Homemaker of Tomorrow” contest this year.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia DIAL: WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE i. Publish,, Warren County PTA Outlines Pros and Cons of Gray Plan Introduction This is a time for serious and responsible thinking. The action of the Supreme Court in May, 1954, which prevents a state from denying to anyone the right to attend any public school because of race, has brought about a grave situation here in Virginia, where the public schools have been operated on a separate but equal basis. A commission was set up by the Governor, headed by Senator Garland Gray, to study the situation and to recommend a program to pre vent enforoed integration. The thirty-two members of this commission, all legislators, deliberated r for fourteen months. When the Gray Commission proposals were made public, it was seen that they were fraught with implications. It was fitting and proper that the , Front Royal PTA should have recognized its obligation to help the public to inform itself on both aides of the issue, and to have the opportunity to hear all shades of _ considered opinion. Therefore, a committee was set up by the PTA, including citizens from different sections of Warren County, to study the Gray report in an effort to understand its impact on the^ welfare of our children. It is only 1 natural that, in a group which represents various shades of opinion, . there could be no unanimous agreement for or against the Gray proposals. Those who felt that the adoption of the proposed constitutional amendment would be to the best interest of the public, have set forth the reasons for their conclusions. The members who felt that the adoption of the amendment was detrimental to the best interest of the public, have stated -their .reasons. BcckfronJ What does the Supreme Court, In its action of May 17, 1954, say? , It does not say that public schools must be integrated. It does say that no public school can deny any fchild admission because of his race. ' What does the Gray Commission recommend? 1. Jt recommends that local school boards be given more power a. Power to assign pupils by reason of ago, aptitude, welfare and the child's own best interest. Under the pupil assignment plan, a parent who is dissatisfied has the right to appeal to the local circuit court. • b. School boards to have more control over pupil transportation. c. Wider authority in assigning teachers. 2. It recommends that the compulsory attendance law be relaxed so that no child of either race be compelled to attend an integrated school over his parents’ objection. These two recommendations of the Gray commission can be adopted without changing the constitution- « 3. The third recommendation of the Gray ommission would authorize the use of public funds for tuition, grants for private school education. These would go to children in localities where the public school was abolished, and to children who refused to attend public integrated schools. a. Local school boards must exert every effort to assign pupils before making tuition grants available. b. Recipients of tuition grants can us^ them only in nonsectarian segregated schools. c. Safeguards to be set up to insure that grants are used for education purposes only. The proposal to provide tuition grants cannot be adopted without revising our State Constitution. Section 141 of the Constitution specifically forbids 'the use of public funds for private education. It is this section 141 and only this section which the Gray Commission proposes to amend. The Gray Commission would permit each locality to exercise its own discretion as to the integration of its public schools. What are we voting for? i 1. A vote ‘for’ the amendment means that section 141 of the constitution will be changed to permit the use of public funds for private education. 2. A Vote ‘against’ the amendment means that the State Constitution remains as it is now. Reasons ia Favor of Amending Tm Constitution 1. It will undoubtedly save the public school system in many counties of Virginia. If the amendment is not passed, people in Virginia will be faced with the alternatives of integrated public schools or no public schools at all. In some section* of the state where the Negro population is high, sometimes approaching or exceeding fifty percent, the people are adamant in their refusal to conduct integrated schools. In Prince Edward County over 1200,000 has already been subscribed to finance segregated private white schools. Thus, in such areas of the state, there would be no public schools if the amendment is not passed. White children would be educated in private expense. Negro children, in these same areas, would receive no education unless they were in a financial position to pay for it ( a. Passage of the Amendment will make these things possible: (1) Those who wish to attend integrated schools will be able to do so. < (2) It will assure an education for those children whose parents object to an integrated public school by making possible tuition grants for private education. These would be available equally to colored children who parents oppose their attendance in an integrated school. (3) It would make possible gradate aid to Negro students who wish to pursue their education outside the state. (4) It would restore tuition grants for war orphans who are ■ being educated in private schools. (6) It would ,provide teacher scholarships for young people who are attending private colleges and wish to make teaching their professions. (6) It would make possible the continuance of the mental and physical • rehabilitation program such as the one being carried on at Woodrow Wilson Hospital. How would the program of private education be financed? Tuition grants would be made Ufl of the amount now paid by the state for the education of each child in a county plus the amount expended by that county for each child. In Warren County this grant would amount to $166 per child. The cost of private school education will be borne only in part by public funds. The difference between the amount of the grant and the actual cost of private education will have to be paid by the child’s parents. In tome areas It is certain that groups of parents will join in incorporating a private school for the education of their children. 2. Passage of this amendment will accomplish the primary objective of preventing enforced integration. The practical result of the U.S. Supreme Court decision, together with the present laws and Constitution in Virginia is enforced integration, since there are very few people who can afford to pay tax. es to support a public system and at the same time pay to send their children to a private, segregated school. In effect, the only alternatives they have, if they continue to support the public school system, are (1) to send their child to an integrated school or (2) deprive him of an education. Passage of the amendment would give each parent a third alternative, that i3, to send his child to a private nonintegrated school. The expense would be borne in part by public funds, which he has himself contributed to, and in part by additional funds he would be called upon to pay. It has been charged that there is an infamous plot afoot to do away with our public school system in Virginia. The governor of our state and members of the General Assembly have pledged themselves to support the continuance of the public schools. Surely these people have acted in good faith in supporting the proposals of the Gray Commission, and can be trusted to protect t our public schools. 3. Teachers who go into private schooling as a result of the Gray Commission’s program, will maintain their present status in the state retirement program if the school is non-sectarian. Their social security status would also remain unchanged if' the private school operates on a non-profit basis. Our legislators are responsible men who will recognise their duty to enact measures that will be in the interest of the public. If some proposals prove unsatisfactory in practice, they can be changed or even abolished entirely. A question of the constitutionality of the proposed amendment has been raised by the opponents to the amendment. The expressed aim of the Gray Commission was to find a solution within the bounds of the law. It diu not, and does, not, “defy” the Supreme Court. In deliberating the Commission had the advice of soine of the most eminently qualified constitutional lawyers in Virginia, and in their opinion the proposal is constitutional, and under the law as it now is, will withstand attack successfully. It ’has been charged that Virginians are being rushed into making a decision on such an important matter as the question of amending the Constitution. Actually, Virginians will have ample time to consider the question carefully. They will have to vote twice. On January 9th they will vote on the question of calling a referendum election to decide whether or not to Vote a second time when they elect their delegates to the constitutional , convention. Even then, the delegates to the convention are not necessarily bound to adopt the proposals of the Gray Commission. Undoubtedly, there will be considerablf debate in the constitutional assembly itself. The alternative method of amending the Constitution is a lengthy one which would have delayed action until well into 1958. , It is the duty of every Voter to bear in mind that no matter what action is taken in Warren County, we shall most certainly be affecte jf by what happens in other sections of the state. To vote for the Constitutional Convention means that our legislature will have the power to ameliorate' a situation that may well be charged and explosive. • ! Reasons Against Passage of the Amendment 1. The proposed amendment has as its avowed purpose the avoiding' of immediate integration. This could t>e done without resorting to such radical measures as using public money - for. private education. 2. There was no reason for the precipitate haste in placing this question before the public since the Supreme Court allowed for the special problems in some areas and did not demand immediate compliance with their decision. 3. In the opinion of eminently qualified lawyers it is provable that the Gray Commission recommendations, if adopted, will be invalidated by the. Supreme Court. 4. Graduates of Virginia schools private or public, under this system, will risk exclusion from accredited colleges. 5. Public schools will probably become sub-standard by reason of the diversion of funds for private schools. >' 6. Many fly-by night private schools with poor standards, inferior teachers, poor buildings and inadequate facilities can be expected to spring up. No plan has been set up for their supervision. 7. There will not be enough private schools to accommodate the number of children who may wish to avoid integration. 8. The amendment would encourage the development of a caste system, whereby private education would be available to the few who could afford to pay the difference between the tuition grant and the actual cost of private schooling, and unavailable to the many whose parents cannot afford the additional expense. 9. Normally, Virginia favors a conservative fiscal policy. How can it support a proposal that can not but mean increased taxation for all? 10. The United States nas an important position to maintain in the world society of, nations. We are the champions of democracy. The tl.S. has advocated the cause of equal opportunities for all peoples. The Communists will surely seize upon this example of discrimination and undemocratic action by Virginia, “the cradle of democracy”. 11. Virginian* are being asked to endorse a blank check when they are asked to support a proposal with no definite plan of action mapped out, no estimated fiscal policy, the very constitutionality of which fnay be challenged. 12. It is dangerous to set a precedent of diverting public funds for private use. 13. It can be expected that many public school teachers will be lost to Virginia because they will wish to avoid the possible loss of benefits, poor working conditions, and the certain confusion that will ensue. 14. It is probable that education for all children in Virginia will deteriorate. 15. The leaders of all the major denominations oppose the passage of this amendment on moral grounds. Encouragement of bias and prejudice is contrary to all religious teachings. 16. Important questions merit answers: a. Where would be found to accommodate any great number of children who want private education! b. flow can the state finance the cost of maintaining public schools in areas where the localities refuse to support them! c. How can the non-sectarian status of a private school be defined and determined! d. How will acceptable standards of education be maintained in the private schools! ' e. What safeguards against the misuse of funds for private education have been set up? Conclusion - When Jthe people go to the polls to vote on this question on January 9th, it should he borne in mind that they are not voting to retain our present public school system.

Just last Sunday received a call for Dr. Wake In the past 30 days requests from Rappahannock farmers made through the county agents office amounted to $570.00 to veterinarians all for work that should mean a paying investment to the farmer.
