It is not the responsibility of this newspaper to tell the people of Madison County how they shall vote we would not if we could; and we could not, even if we would. For, happily, most Madison Coun ty people do their own thinking. The Special Session School Amendment, often referred to as the Pearsall Plarr, is the vital question to be settled by voters in North Carolina this Satur day. When you apd I stand in the voting booth Sat urday, we cannot shift our responsibilities to others. After reading the complete Pearsall Plan and read ing both arguments as to the merits and dangers of the School Amendment in many newspapers, we are still puzzled as to the best course to take. We have heard many learned men speak in favor of the Plan ; we have also heard and seen many great thinkers and leaders express opposition to the Pearsall Plan. We feel confident that each "side" is sincere in trying to maintain our public schools in a peaceful and progressive manner. After all is said and done, whatever way we think about the matter will not change your thinking.. We sincerely hope that each of our readers has read carefully the proposed amendment and will let the dictates of their con science direct them at the polls Saturday. Personally, we can find many "unanswered questions" in the Pearsall Plan. Will the Pearsall Plan stand up in a Federal Court? The only way we can absolutely guarantee the continued operation of our free public schools is to find a legal and con stitutional way of maintaining segregation; OR, by finding an acceptable way to accomplish integration. The Pearsall Plan reminds this writer of a per son trying to battle a forest fire with a small garden hose, or as one of our friends said that it (the Pear sall Plan) reminded him of a person taking an as pirin tablet to temporarily relieve a severe headache which would sooner or later require an operation.

Pick Good Seed (Continued From Page One) Annual Merrell Reunion Sunday The annual Merrell Family Re union will be held at the old Mer rell Home near Mars Hill on Sun day, September 9. "Bring all your friends and join us on this occasion, Zeb Mer rell and Charles Phillips, chair men, stated. says .that farmers need to plan now for even higher yields in 1956-57. He believes that the ap plication of sound principles will continue the upward rise in av erage state yields that has been going over the last 20 years. Spain claims that one of the ba sic sound principles is the selec tion of a good variety. He points out that the varieties of many crops are quite specific in their requirements of a proper environ mental condition. The varieties of small grains recommended by the Experiment Station at Ra leigh have been tested for several years over a wide range of condi tions, and these recommended va rieties have excelled over other va rieties under the average of these conditions. Your county agent can give you a list of the varieties recommended for your particular area of the state. 1 No less important than the se lection of a proper variety, says Spain ,is the purchase of the best quality seed available. For, he adds, the crop produced can be no beter than the seed you plant. Spain believes that certified seed is one of the best bargains you can buy as you plan your next yfear's crop of small grain. !!:; asm- Your Subscription To The News-Record Don't Forget to Renew r'". ft Don H.
