L Why Not Help Handicapped?
v.. -
^ In this busy world of ou,rs today, we are interested in education
for our youths, and recreations to. sometimes at a great cost, but
tow many of us ever stop to think what it means to a handicapped
person to have t,his education and recreation to.
. Just take a survey in your county and counties surrounding
ypii and see the number of people, young and old alike that could
really use help in special training.
W hy can't there be a fund started to build a school and buy
equipment for victims of Cerebral Palsy and polio etc. in your
Cfiunty? Therefore families of these deserving pople will not have
tp. move miles away to seek this help.
I'm sure that the counties surrounding you would join hands
in.hflping raise a fund for such a worthy cause, as they to could
benefit from it.
Please consider this thought in behalf of the less fortunate.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Halden

'A few days ago In Elizabeth

did ..he garden? For the fresh
vegetables, yes, but mainly be- J
cause of the self-satisfaction re
vived and the feeling of success.
A few nights ago a laJy called,
full of enthussiasm for her new

"During the war I recall giving
first prize in a garden contest to

Maries May Be
Used To Teach
Schools In Va.
Virginia segregationists may
dauble as movie producers in an
effort to teach -students whose
public schools are closed to pre
vent integration.
While live TV is being used in
Little Rock, one possible plan in
the Old Dominion calls for pro
duction of a series of educational
movies.
Hie films could be shown to
students on closed circuit TV sys
tems or with regular motion pic
ture projectors set up in tempor
ary. segregated classrooms.
The plan is the brainchild of
Charles W. "Nick" Carter, Arl
ington segregationist and member
of the State's Coordinating Com
mittee to Maintain Efficient Edu
cation in Virginia. This 19-nvan
organization advises local groups
that are seeking to maintain seg
regation by establishing private
schools.
Lewis S. Pendleton, chairman
of the committee, explains that
educational films already in ex
istence also could be used. He ex
plains, however, that at the pres
ent time the plan is still in the
speculation stage.
Carter sees his plan as much
more than a stop-gap teaching
measure. He believes it could be
used when the integration crisis
blows over to help reduce the in
creasing number of teachers need
ed to operate Virginia's school
system.
The Carter plan calls for mak
ing movies of instructors that
show them teaching various basic
subjects like English and science.
A complete series of films would
be made of each course
Then the films would be tele
vised or circulated among schools
for showing on classroom motion
picture screens. Carter explains
that subjects which had been film
ed would riot be given to pupils
each day.
Instead, students might watch
a filmed English lesson one day,
a math lesson on the next and a
course in physics the following
day. The rest of the school day
schedule woiild be filled with
exams on the movies ajid courses
for which no films were available.
Carter believes his system would
be a boom for teaching students

amount of teaching space avail*
able after a public achMl cloaun

But the use of films would al

The main duties of teachers in

Carter explains that a state
