C."

To do so would mean ruin to the county, an unexcusable lack of fulfill ment of its duty to its children, and financial ruin to many of its citizens. We might as well face it. No industry is coming into a county without a public school system. No doctors are coming into a county without a public school system. No new people are coming into a coun ty without a good school system and without medical care. And few people arc willing to remain in a county in which educational oppor tunities are not provided for their children. And while Warren County citi zens are facing possibly the great est tragedy the county has ever known, they might as well face some other facts. The fact that they must face is truth; no matter how un pleasant that may be to many per sons. And this hard fact and this truth is that the dual system of scnools in the United States is doom ed and with it a caste system and second class citizenship. And the still harder fact that must be faced is that there is absolutely nothing that the South can do to prevent the abolition of slavery. Whom we elect as governor, or whom we elect as President is not going to reverse this trend, wheth er the next president be Hubert Humphrey, Richard Nixon or even George Wallace. The sooner we realize this truth and adjust to it the better off we are allgoingto be. Immediately delaying the opening of our schools is the inability to get six teachers to volunteer to teach in the Negro schools. We will not sit in judgment on those teachers who refuse to volunteer for personal and family reasons to teach in these schools, but we will point out that seldom has a person had a great er opportunity for service to his county than that now facing our teachers. We hope for the sake of our children and for the sake of our county that there will be the neces _ sarv Volunteers.

Holt of Warrenton, with whom I have been able to maintain friendly relations for more than a gen eration, last week took his pen in hand to make some mild criticism of a newspaper article In that we failed to men tion the size shot used by a cer tain husband as he shot his wife in the "posterior." Mr. Holt said that whether the husband used birdshot, rabbit shot, or duck shot would help the reader a great deal in evaluating the results obtain ed. Believing that Mr. Holt may have had a point, I interview ed the Sheriff of our good coun ty last Thursday, who informed me that the husband told him he used No. 4 shot. In order to save Mr. Holt and other read ers the trouble of an evalua tion of the results of the shoot ing I will use Sheriff Davis' testimony. He said that as the result of the shooting the wife was unable to sit down and had to lie on her side or stomach. Mr. Holt also praised the paper mildly for "going on and upward" in that we used the word posterior where in a form er similar case we used the word behind. He suggested that the next time we might even use the word derriere. As a matter of fact, in writ ing the story the word, derriere did occur to us, but we thought that the use of derriere was rather a big jump and we should take it more gradually, work ing upward and onward, as Mr. Holt suggested. Besides, we didn't know at the time how to spell it. It has been said that a rose would smell as sweet by any other name, which may be true enough, but it might not sound as well. We thank Mr. Holt for, first, reading our newspaper; and second^ for taking the time to write us a letter, and for his diplomatic suggestion as to how the paper might be improved. We have always welcomed sug gestions made by Mr. Holt in his too infrequent letters to the editor, and for his contributions and suggestions and interest In his hometown newspaper. We trust that . we will soon be favored with a further contri bution.
