Senator Ervin, Co - Author Of Southern Statement Terms It As "Moderate' U. S. Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr., one of the autnors ot a statement wnich Soutnern Sen ators made public tms week on tne matter of acnool segregation cases, described it as "a lamp of moderation." "1 hope this statement will receive earn est consideration by .reasonable people every wnere and wui be a lamp of moderation m these crucial days," Mortn Carolina's senior Senator declared. Senator Crvin was one of three members of the Senate who were asked to prepare a statement setting forth the attitude of soutnern Senators. Otner authors were Sen ator Russell of Georgia and Senator Stennis of Mississippi. The spotlight was turned on the docu ment, entitled "Declaration of Constitution al Principles" which was presented to Con gress tnis week bearing the signatures of Id other Senators and 77 Representatives. In a statement made public by Morgan ton's Senator, he said; "While the Supreme Court decision is de plorable from the standpoint of constitu tional law and ought to be reversed for that reason, it is not as drastic as many people think. The decision permits the races to at tend separate schools on a voluntary basis? the best course to follow at this time. "As one who knows and loves the South, I am satisfied that thoughtful Southerners of both races can find satisfactory solutions for all our problems in. an atmosphere of good-will, patience and tolerance if agitators will afford us an opportunity to do so. Our problems can be solved only in such an at mosphere on the local level where men and women live, move and have their being. Problems of this nature cannot be solved in any other plkce or any other way." The full text of the "Declaration of Con stitutional Principle#" follows: The unwarranted decision of the Supreme Court in the public school cases is now bear ing the fruit always produced when men substitute naked power for established laws. The Founding Fathers gave us a Constitu tion of checks and balances because they realized the inescapable lesson of history that no man or group of men can be safely entrusted with unlimited power. They fram ed this Constitution with its provisions for change by amendment in order to secure the fundamentals of government against the dangers of temporary popular passion or the personal predictions of public office hold ers. We regard the decision of the Supreme Court in the school cases as a clear abuse of judicial power. It climaxes a trend in the Federal Judiciary undertaking to legislate, in derogation of the authority of Congress, and to encroach upon the reserved rights of the States and the people. The original Constitution does not mention education. Neither does the Fourteenth Amendment nor any other Amendment The debates preceding the submission of the Fourteenth Amendment clearly show that there was no intent that it should affect the system of education maintained by the States. The very Congress which proposed the Amendment subsequently provided for seg regated schoolp in the District of Columbia. When the Amendment was adopted in 1868, there were 87 States of the Union. Every one of the 26 States that had any sub stantial racial differences among its people either approved the operation of segregated schools already in existence or subsequently established such schools by action of the same law-making body which considered the Fourteenth Amendment. As admitted by the Supreme Court in the public school case (Brown v. Board of Edu cation), the doctrine of separate but equal schools "apparently originated in Roberts v. City of Boston . . . (1849), upholding school segregation against attack as being violative of a State constitutional guaran tee of equality." This constitutional doctrine began in the North ? not in the South, and it waa followed not only in Massachusetts, but in Connecticut, New York, Illinois, In diana, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsyl vania and other northern States until they, exercising their rights as States through the constitutional processes of local self-govern ment, changed their school systems. In the case of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 the Supreme Court expressly declared that under the Fourteenth Amendment no person was denied any of his rights if the States provided separate but equal facilities. This decision has been followed in many other cases. It is notable that the Supreme Court, speaking through Chief Justice Taft, a form er President of the United States, unani mously declared in 1927 in Lum y. Rice that the "separate but equal" principle is " . . . within the discretion of the State in regulat ing its public schools and does not conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment." This interpretation, restated time and a gain, became a part of the life of the people of many of the States and confirmed their habits, customs, traditions and way of life. It is founded on elemental humanity and common sense, for parents should not be de prived by government of the right to direct the lives and education of their own children. Though there has been on constitutional amendment or Act of Congress changing this established legal principle almost a cen tury old, the Supreme Court of the United States, with no legal basis for such action, untertook to exercise their naked judicial power and substituted their personal polit ical and social ideas for the established law of the land. This unwarranted exercise of power by the Court, contrary to the Constitution, is creating chaos and confusion in the States principally affected. It is destroying the amicable relations between the white and Negro races that have been created through 90 years of patient effort by the good peo ple of both races. It has planted hatred and suspicion where Aere has been heretofore friendship and understanding. Without regard to the consent of the gov ernment, outside agitators are threatening immediate and revolutionary changes in our public school systems. If done, this is cer tain to destroy the system of public educa tion in some of the States. With the gravest concern for the explos ive and dangerous condition created by this decision and inflamed by outside meddlers: We reaffirm our reliance on the Consti tution as the fundamental law of the land. We decry the Supreme Court's encroach ment on rights reserved to the State and to the people, contrary to established law and to the Constitution. We commend the motives of those "States which have declared the intention to resist forced integration by any lawful means. We appeal to the States and people who are not directly affected by these decisions to consider the constitutional principles in volved against the time when "they too, on issues vital to them, may be the victims of judicial encroachment. Even though we constitute a minority in the present Congress, we have full faith that a majority of the American people believe in the dual system of government which has enable^ us to achieve our great ness and will in time demand that the re served rights of the States and of the peo ple be made secure against judicial usurpa tion. We pledge ourselvesr to use all lawful means to bring about a reversal of this de cision which is contrary to the Constitution and to prevent the use of force in its im plementation. In this trying period, as we all seek to right this wrong, we appeal to our people not to be provoked by the agitators and troublemakers invading our States and to scrupulously refrain* from disorder and lawless acts.

Pass these cards out to the young drivers and adults alike. , Whenever anyone sees a traffic violation, let them fill out the card, giving all details. We suggest the cards be collect ed and handed The Mountaineer for tabulation and publicizing the number and type of violations ? without using names of drivers. Then the cards would be passed on to the police and patrol, and they would follow up with a per sonal call or visit to the person who violated some traffic law?be he a pedestrian or driver. The warning call from the officer would not constitute being cited to court. 1 We young people would be will ing for our records to be compared with those of the adults. We want tq prove we are not as bad as some times pictured. Then we further propose that a night traffic class be started, with police and patrol in charge. Every traffic court making it mandltory that each defendant found guilty of a traffic violation attend the classes for perhaps four sessions. In addition to that, we would like for the police and patrol to set up a driving clinic, whereby a driv er would have to meet certain driv ing tests at some designated place. The officer in charge would rate each participant. Drivers of all ages would take part, with the re sults having no bearing on one's driver's license. ur? its? *? it. - " c nuuiu imvner u&e ior me highway patrol to prepare a list of about 50 questions on driving?with some toughies, but similar to those asked in a driver's license test. We would like to have the officers give the test to all young drivers, and then go to every civic group of both men and women and give the same test, to be followed by a compari son of grades. These proposals are not expen sive, in fact almost nil. We feel they will stimulate in terest, and make all of us mindful to be on our P's and Q's when it comes to driving and walking on the streets and highways. Some have mentioned a drag strip for racing. We have studied that rather thoroughly and And it impractical, and certainly no so lution to our campaign for safety. First, ft will be too expensive for the average fellow to participate. No highway could be used. Only the latest model cars could pasg the test, and the official drag race would just bring on, we feel, more highway racing, since not all cars would be allow ed on the track due to safety meas ures. We are opposed to such a plan. We do feel, however, that the adults of this community and county, should make provision for more recreational facilities for the young people. There should be places to skate, and swim, that many of us now have to travel i many miles to find. Although we enjoy swimming at the lake during the season, there is not much pleasure to be derived from the sport in winter, and only Canton has an indoor pool. We are not demanding a thing. We have just proposed several things which we feel will give Hay wood county an ideal safety pro gram, and speaking in behalf of the young people, we know that we will do our part in putting it over in grand style. We do not say our proposals are the best, or that these are the only methods of going about a safety campaign, but in the absence of any program being announced by the adults, this is something to MRS.

Roy Wright, local manager for Carolina Power and Light Com pany, read a statement, saying that his firm, a donor of $500 towards the buildings, would not object to. a change in the locations. Several others spoke briefly, pointing out that the Welch Farm site is without sewer, and water, while the Horse Show place has both, plus two barns, a horse show ring, fences, and two paved streets leading to the property. All of the Horse Show site h level ground. The Welch Farm site has 15.39 acres, the Horse Show property has 15.48 'acres. Both were sold for $13,000. The commissioners said they were always glad to have views of taxpayers on such matters, and would take the proposal under consideration.
