Who Should Be The Judge?
Virginians this week put the news of summit meeting-* and revolutions ana national appointments in the background. All eyes turn, to Richmond where a strange tight drama has been developing. By a vote of 20 to 19, the Sen ate turned itself into a committee: of the whole and has prepared the way for a local option law that, will pass, pre sumably by the same narrow marginTo us it seems absurd for such an important question a> the future of Virginia’s schools to be settled by a 20 to lu vote in Richmond. We are of tne opinion that the -question is one of such a local nature and of such complicated and delicate substance, that eah County should have the opportunite to decide for itself the one great issue remaining: shall we integrate our public schools or shall we .dose them The Senator from Giles County should not decide this for the people of Northumberland county and visa-versa. No should the pattern for the entire state be set, irrevocably, on a 20 to 19 vc.te. This is a local county issue that code! have best been decided on a county basis. B.C.B.Jr.
