Um stead T o Sponsor BitI
OnBi-racial Committees
In a statement issued in connec
tion with the passage of tt\e Con
stitutional Amendments on public
schools hi last Saturday’s statewide
referendum, Orange County Rep.
John W. Umtead again appealed
for the establishment of bi-racial
advisory committees in each of the
State s school administrative units.
• During his campaign in behalf of
the Pearsall Plan last week Rep.
Umstead said he would introduce
legislation to require this in the
coming session ol the General As
sembly. These ? committees' would
advise with local school boards on
any questions concerning integra
tion of the races in schools.
“If we should follow thin-proce
dure,’’-Rep. Umstead said, there
would be very few instances jn the
state where “certain provisions of
the Pearsall Plan would have to be
used,"-The latter is an apparent
reference to the possibility of
schools being closed to prevent in
tegration.
Here is Mr.. Umstead's complete
statement:
“In the election last Saturday
the people of North Carolina
said by their ballots .that they
liked the Pearsall Plan for, trying
to solve the problem of segrega
tion of the races in our public
schools;
"I‘ is a well, known fact, that you
can have good schools only with
... less than M5®
for 100 yd. bed
~ equipment to buy or atortS
the large majority of the people
interested in and supporting then!
'1 his is especially true in N. C.
where we have statewide appropri*>
ations by the General Assembly
for running the schools.
‘All Should Lend A Hand'
“In view of the results of Satur
day’s election it seems that all of
the‘ people of our state who are
really interested*in public educa
tion should lend a hand in any way
possible to see that the Pearsall
Plan works and that the schools j
for both races receive the financial!
support that is necessary. „
“It is my. opinion that the first
step to be taken in this effort
to make the Pearsall Plan effec
tive should be the appointment'
in each of the school administra
tive units of the state a -Bi-racial
Advisory ,Committee. *
1 he function of this Committee *
to be to advise with the local1
Board of Education whenever any i
question concerning the inlegra-j
tion of the r^ces should arise.
■'ft is further my opinion that if j,
we should follow this procedure j
here would be very few instances
'n the state where certain provi-1
sions of the Pearsall Plan would!
have to be used. I am certainthat j
ihere. would be no occasion for
such situations as have arisen in
some of the states. >' ’ *i'
' “For my part, both as a private
ifizen and if elected in November
as a member of the Legislature, I
-hall strive to do everything in my
power to see that this disturbing
problem is handled in such a way
hat the schools will not suffer
an^i that every-citizen will be treat- ;
"d fairly."

■ And low first cost
;is only your first saving
Oefore you buy your next truck, look
at both sides of Ford’s story of value.
Check what you get and what it costs.
You’ll like what you see.
Look at the costs. Ford’s first cost is
low. Resale value is high. Modern
Short Stroke engines—V-8 or Six—are
designed for less friction, less wear, lower
running costs. Maintenance costs are
lower, too, because Ford trucks are built
stronger for rugged long life. And a
10-million truck study proves Ford
trucks last longer.
i
Look at what you get and you’ll see
you get more in a Ford. For example,
more horsepower per dollar—proved by
a comparison, of factory-suggested list
prices and net horsepower of all truck
lines. You get more comfort with a «
’’Driverized Cab, and more safety with
Ford’s exclusive Lifeguard features.
Look carefully . . . consider everything.
You’ll agree Ford trucks cost less, give
you more. If you want a great deal—a
great deal more for your money—see
your Fprd Dealer. *
