CprsTT yesterday, at a meeting of the Staun-XJlS I tlLj OI 1 ton Public School Board, the question of how to plan for future high school instruction of Negro children was brought up, but as has been the case heretofore no decision was reached. One question is whether Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta should Unite their efforts and erect a Negro high school which would be attended by pupils of all three divisions. As a result of discussions, during the past year or more, the county and Waynesboro appear to be In support of such a development.

Staunton Is not on record In a clear-cut manner, but "has not appeared favorably inclined," to repeat phrase used again yesterday. Mr. Woodworth takes his kit of can history in the Library of Congress exhibits.

Heretofore, the Staunton board has taken the position that Booker T. newest school plant in this city adequately serves the need of Negro Children.

Taking Council somewhat by surprise he left this item for the end of the meeting Mayor Grubert said he had been in contact with the League of Virginia Municipalities. (This organization acts as a clearing house for municipal information.) The attorney for the league, according to a letter read by Mayor Grubert, said a city would be within its rights to pass a law requiring sprinkler systems. Mayor Grubert did not elaborate on what buildings would require would help the traffic situation." Doubts Value Of Light Mr. Kivlighan maintained that "regardless of the light it would not move any more traffic." Regarding the underpass, Mr. Burnley said the state was inquiring about the degree of aid the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad might contribute.

Council made no further comments on this matter. Mr. Burnley said he is now trying to find out what a traffic light will cost. An earlier estimate was $560. Two other requests for traffic lights were discussed.

One was for Greenville Avenue and Hampton Street; the other for Churchville Avenue and Augusta Street. No action was taken. However, Council seemed more inclined to favor the installation of a light at the corner of Churchville and Au- RELIGION-IN-LIFE. That's the title of a rather formidable magazine published in New York. It undertakes to show huw real religion Is a part ot rather than apart from daily living.

But that's not what this spiel is aiming at. Not at all. I mean the magazine. I have Just witnessed a singularly bold and impressive motion picture for the third time. I shall see It again and again if opportunity offers.

Its title is, "The Next Voice You Hear." If you have not seen this picture you have missed drama, human-Interest, comedy, family life, love and religion all mixed up in a ribbon about an hour and a half long that Just gets you stirred up no end. There are no actors with big names in the story. In fact I think I have never seen any of the cast, except the boy of the family. And yet even from the standpoint of pure acting, the picture would rate high. The critics whom I have read have pnted the picture extravagantly, so mis is not just my odd enthusiasm that FOUR CLAIM MANUSCRIPT Last September a census was made of the Negro population of potential school age in all three school divisions, with the result that It was shown that there are 1,138 Negro children in this county between seven and nineteen years, inclusive; and a grand total of 1,746 children one to nineteen, Inclusive.

In the frst category (seven through nineteen) Staunton has 410, Waynesboro 278, and Augusta, 450. In the overall total (one through nineteen) the count was: Staunton, 675; Waynesboro 405, Augusta 266. However, in all three high school departments, on the basis of the last count, there were only 250 children Waynesboro, 68; Staunton, 124, including 36 from the county; Augusta, 58, in the first two years at Augusta Training. The rather small number of Negro high school pupils in each division is considered a significant point in planning for the future. A further consideration Is that the Negro population is not showing a gain anywhere, but rather a loss from year to year.

In its long-range planning the Augusta School Board Included 100,000 In the budget it transmitted to the State Department of Education for its information and approval. Staunton likewise has set aside some state and local money for improving facilities for Negroes; but has not said "yes" and has not said "no" on the consolidation idea. The most recent state study commission report recommended that Staunton, Waynesboro, and Augusta unite their supervision and resources and erect a high school east of this city to serve all the Negro children. The tentative cost was placed somewhere near $300,000. This report has been studied by all three, individually and collectively, but the upshot, thus far, has been no affirmative action.

In the Library of Congress is the two-page manuscript which Lincoln held in his hand while making his address to some 15,000 people at the dedication of the soldiers' cemetery at Gettysburg. Not generally realized, however, is the fact that the "reading copy" is but one of five manuscripts of the classic written in Lincoln's own hand. Two are in Washington, the third in Springfield," Illinois, the fourth In Ithaca, N. and the fifth in Havana, Cuba.

Agreed to pay sheep claims made at the last Council session to this date. What puts these and other school administrators and boards in Virginia on the spot is this pertinent question: How much longer do we have to make up our minds? As 1950 was about to pass out or the picture, there originated a news article in Richmond which said that Negro school patrons will ask the courts this year to throw open Virginia schools to classes made up of both white and Negro students. It was stated that such litigation would hinge, not on the old Issue of "equalization," but on the word, "non-segregation." A Virginia Negro attorney for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People indicated that the association believes the time has come to make a determined fight against segregated classes.

No new suits were filed. There was, however, plenty of Investigatory work done, by attorneys for Negro students; this will undoubtedly lead to new suits in the future. The Gregory Swanson decision, because of its practical implications, is considered by attorneys the more significant of the two decisions reached. This federal court decree, entered on Sept.

5, held that Gregory Swanson, a Negro lawyer practicing In Martinsville, was entitled to enter the University of Virginia to pursue graduate studies. Negro attorneys, in a move which probably did not get the publicity it deserved, subsequently asked District Judge Albert V. Bryan to require' admission of Negro senior high school pupils to the white senior high school in Arlington County. Judge Bryan, entering the Judgment which restrained Arlington County from discrimination in the schools, declined to go so far as to impinge on segregation. But the Richmond attorney, who has supervised handling of the schools cases since early in 1949, made it plain in an interview since then that he believed the and even then only by printed in present.

Councilman J. Kivlighan, noting the parking and traffic situation, recalled an incident which occurred recently.

Deploring this situation, Mr.

Kivlighan said it was necessary that the city take steps to help solve the traffic-parking problem.
