Children Need Maximum
Protection At Hallowe'en
By L. B. HARD AGE
Extension Chairman
Give "maxl" protection to the
"mini" set when readying the
youngsters tor Hallowe'en fun,
the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) advises all
parents.
There is no "midi"—not
half-way point-when it comes to
fire safety at Hallowe'en time,
says NFPA, Here are some
life-saving tips from the international
fire safety organization
that parents should keep
in mind when planning costumes
and their parties:
1. Be sure ready-made costumes,
masks, wigs and beards
carry a "flameproof" label.
2. For home-made costumes,
stay away from flimsy materials
and outfits with yards
and yards of material in
baggy sleeves and billowing
skirts. A touch of flame can
start th":n burning.
3. Children should never
carry a pumpkin lighted by a
wax candle. Don't set a candlelighted
pumpkin on a doorstep
where it could be brushed by
children's costumes. Don't use
them Indoors, either, in places
where they could set fire to

curtains or table decorations.
4. Clothing - even sturdy
dungarees - can burn. So be sure
children understand they must
stay away from any open (lame
—Bonfires and burning leaves
outdoors, fireplaces and stoves
Indoors, and things like lighted
matches and cigarette lighters.
For traffic safety and general
accident prevention, NFPA advises,
costumes should be
short enough so children won't
trip on them, and light enough
in color to make them clearly
visible to motorists. Masks
shouldn't interfere with children's
vision. Safest Is the "natural"
mask of cosmetic makeup
or charocal applied directly
to the skin.
Finally, cautions NFPA,
smaller children should be in
the charge of and in sight of a
responsible older person at all
times during their trlck-ortreat
rounds.

or put It another way - whether
or not there la power to assign
and bus students to a
particular school on account of
race-changing school assignment
zones, and neighborhood
schools were the issues before
the United States Sivreme Court
last week when the busing cases
from Charlotte, N. C., Clark
County, Ga., and Mobile, Ala.
finally reached the nation's
highest tribunal.
I sat In ♦he Supreme Court
room for the better part ot two
days seeing and listening
for myself during this first
basic reexamination by the
Supreme Court of school desegregation
and forced integration
problems since its 1954
ruling outlawing all state Imposed
segregated school systems.
The decision In these
cases as to just how much further
the courts can and will
go In implementing that Brown
decision could have a farreaching
Impact on every public
school system in the country.
The amicus curiae or friend
of the Court brief, which a number
of us here in the Congress
filed with the Supreme Court
in the Charlotte case, concentrates
on the legislative Intent
of the Congress when It placed
in Title IV, Section 401 (b)
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
the following language: " 'Desegregation'
means the assignment
of students to public
schools and within such schools
without regard to their race,
color, religion, or national origin,
but 'desegregation' shall
not mean the assignment of
students to public schools in
order to overcome racial imbalance."

Amendment.
As an attorney, I know the
hazard of try In* to predict a
Judge's position by the tone of
his questions. Often he serves
as the devil's advocate In a controversy
to get the facts and
hear all arguments.
However, the oldest member
of the Court at 84, Justice Hugo
L. Black, long an ardent opponent
of public school segregation,
and discrimination in
any form because of race, asked
many searching questions
and made a number of comments
Indicating sharp disagreement
with those lawyers
who argued that the neighborhood
school concept is a mere
"fiction" or "more sophisticated
type of evasion."
Justice Black disagreed with
such assertions when he said:
"I think there is something to
the concept of neighborhood
schools." "What'I am interested
in" and have been "from
the first case" In 1954 Justice
Black said, "is plain discrimination
on account of race. We
should correct that, but it disturbs
me," he continued, to go
beyond that and "try to challenge
the whole arrangements
ami living practices of people
all over the nation. You want
to haul people miles and miles
and miles in order to get an
equal ratio in schools," Justice
Black continued. With emphasis,
he said, "It Is a pretty
big job to assign us, Isn't it?—
to try to re-arrange areas in
the United States where people
have congregated. How can
you re-arrange the whole country?"
Our legal brief points out how
the lower Federal courts have
distorted the plain meaning of
the law by assigning children
to certain schools on a racial
balance basis. This brief is
now a part of the Supreme Court
record and will, I sincerely
hope, be carefully read and
studied by each of the nine
Justices.
In view of the outrageous
extremes to which some Federal
Judges have gone, I
was pleasantly surprised when
the Justices displayed such an
active interest and concernnot
only as to the actual facts
but also as to how far their
powers extend under the "equal
1
I hope each Justice will note
the significance of the questions
posed by Justice Black.
As our legal brief pointed
out, "a vast reservoir of racial
good will still exists. The
opportunity to move ahead thus .
remains. If reason rules,
progress will be great. But,
if it does not, then a harsh
night of disharmony, disruption,
and discord will
descend upon our land as a
new era of Reconstruction—
this time Judicially Imposed—
rends the nation assunder once
again.
If this comes to pass, who
can seriously argue that the
cause of education for Black
Americans, or for that matter,
for any American, will be advanced?"
Vance Truck Responds
To Gin Fire Call Here
A Vance County fire truck and
personnel responded to a call
from Warrenton on Wednesday
afternoon of last week but found
their services not needed.
The company was summoned
after fire broke out In a mote
bin at Warren Cotton and Fertilizer
Company but Warrenton
firemen were able to contain
the blaze without heavy damace.
According to a spokesman for
the ginning company, the fire
was confined largely to the bin,
which had some damage, to cotton
in the bin and one other
bale. Damage was estimated at
around $100.
The fire is believed to have
originated from a small piece of
rock in the cotton being ginned.
A company official explained
that a grit or piece of metal
striking the saw blades of the gin
sometimes resulted in a fire.
It was explained that one
reason Warrenton put out the
alarm for volunteers in area
cities was that the Warren
Rural Fire Department was out
on another call at the time of the
blaze. Coming back into town
from the other call, however,
they and the Warrenton department
were able to contain the
fire with little difficulty.
