After all, we represent you people." At thU point someone In the crowd yelled, "Wnen are you going to start." This brought a wave of applause from the gather ing. Frankllnton attorney Hubert Senter, speaking for the citi zens, told the School Board, "We had rather go to court than to take these suggestions of the team from Washington, who really have no authority to make us do anything." He added, "Let's not be afraid to go to court," and made re ference to the Franklin Counr ty School system being under court order at the present time. "Gentlemen, you are de relict In your duty If you do not abide by the wishes of the vast majority of those who put you there," Senter said, pointing to the stage where the Board was seated. The attorney assured the Board, "You will have the full sup port of everyone here," In emphasizing his request that HEW requests be rejected. At several points, the meet ing bordered on getting out of hand, as tempers flared. Chairman Moore did not call for a vote on the matter at Saturday's meeting. However, he did assure leaders of the citizens group that any action by the Board would be taken In a meeting only after the leaders were given twenty tour hour notice. Meanwhile, plans war* In progress to open schools on time In the district, with stu dents arriving for orientation Wednesday and the first day of school slated for Thursday. In the absence of further action by the Board, the Frankllnton Schools will operate much as they did last year with seven ?gro students attending the predominantly white Frank llnton High School Frankllnton Police Chief Leo Edwards ordered his full force on duty Saturday night as feel ings ran high in the commu nity. Special dfflcers were assigned to guard the horns of Supt. Fred Rogers, who had become a focal po^t In the controversy. It was later dis covered that the Superinten dent was not at home and a search was launched for him. Late Saturday night It was learned that he had been at the school and had by then returned home. While the matter was still the number one topic conver sation In Frankllnton Monday, things seemingly had leveled off a bit. Whether the Board will meet again In the Immediate future was not disclosed. Supt. Rogers said Monday he did not know when another meeting might be held. What action might now be taken by the Washington authorities In light of the rejection of their re quests U also undetermined.
