Major David Revine Sir Frederick an industrialist farmer, owner of an aviation cufp oration. and other transportation facilities, told of the government of his country.

The quick-witted businessman, and official, brought a roar of laughter, when he answered: "Why ask me that about my people when j the answer is not known even in.

Cae Mountaineer Want Ads . > j MORE ABOUT Senator Medford (Continued from pace 1) Pearsall Plan leaves the matter j entirely in the hands of the peo-i pie. After hearing it discussed thoroughly in the special session 1 of the General Assembly, I am convinced that it is the best plan available for this state." Senator Medford reviewed the decision of the Supreme Court on segregation, explaining that the! Court in 1955 put the matter back into the laps of the District courts. He explained that the decision does not say that there must be integra tion. but that it is illegal for seg regation to be based upon race. He explained North Carolina's position in the nation as being one of three states that carry the ' burden of education at the state ' level, with the counties furnishing 1 only the facilities. Senator Medford | said: "All that has to happen in North Carolina to abolish public schools is for the General As- i semhly to fail to provide money to pay the teachers. We do not j want to go back to the county sys- i ti m such as we had in the late 20's. when the counties, paid the t( aehers and in many instances j teachers carried county vouchers for several months before being able to cash them. "Th e advisory committee, of which 1 was a member. was charged with finding a way to preserve public schools, and I never saw a more dedicated group ol men undertake the work. 1 Senator Medford explained the program of the amendment, which would give a school board or pa- ' Irons of a school district, upon 15 per cent signing a petition, au- j Jhority to call an election on the j question of closing a school. He said that had there been any integration -it the time the 11155 General Assembly was in ses sion. in bis opinion many mem bers of the General Assembly would have voted against provid ing any funds whatsoever for the j operation of public schools in this : state. Senator Medford went on to ex plain that education expense j grants. tentatively set at $135 a year, could be provided when the ? following conditions were met: <l> Mixing of races in schools; (2> where parents object; (3> when I here was 110 public school in ; which the races were not mixed : lo which the pupil could be con- | h nienlly transferred; 14> must at- j U nd a private non-sectarian school. ! Senator Medford said that about 2b per cent of the students in North Carolina were colored, and I hat the program calls for con tinued and improved education for (lie colored, pointing out that much progress had been made in public education in North Carolina, which is just 50 years old. He also pointed out that the Federal Constitution does not say tlie state has to provide educa tion. In his opinion, the Senator 1 said, "the vast majority of citizens in North Carolina do not want integration, but they do want their ; children educated." The Pearsall j I'lan. he explained, puts the mat ter of education in the hands of the local community where prob lems would exist. As he explained, j "When the public schools in North ' Carolina are closed, let the peo ple affected close them by voting. 1 believe there will be very few schools closed and very few educa tion grants." "The program takes effect only when there is integration and only J then in the communities that ob- [ jeet " The amendment makes exception in the compulsory school attend- j ance law for cases where schools have been closed. The speaker was presented by j Lawrence Leatherwood, county superintendent of education. ?ORE ABOUT Election (Continued from page 1> cratic judge; the third, the Repub lican judge; and the fourth, the j Democratic alternate judge; Aliens Creek?Mrs. Bill Hem hree, Dewey Brendle.
