Bond Ponders Session Challenge i
ATLANTA CUPI) - Negro
Rep.-elect Julian Bond and his
attorneys are considering filing
a court suit challenging the
work done by the Georgia Gen
eral Assembly.
Bond, who was denied his
seat in the House because of
his statements on Viet Nam,
contended Friday that the work
of the assembly was invalid. He
gave as his reasons the fact
that his district was denied rep
resentation and that the pri
mary object of the session
under federal court order was
further consideraton of reap
portionment and no reappor

Nix Seeks To Keep Funds
ATLANTA (UFI) State
School Supt. Jack P. Nix has
asked the Georgia Congression

Nix made the request Friday
after the state Board of Edu
cation adopted resolutions re
questing the support of Georgia
senators and representatives in
Congress.
"The reductions reflected In
the federal budget for fiscal
1967 would seriously affect vo

Willie James Hunter, 19, en

brother, Charles, 15, was con
victed of voluntary manslaugh
ter Thursday by a predomi

Mrs. Davis Talks
BPW Club Marks
19th
The Griffin BPW Club cele
brated its 19th birthday Friday
night with a banquet at the Elks
Club. Mrs. Thelma Davis, well
known Oriffin educator who has
held high offices in the National
Education Association, was the
featured speaker.
More than members and guests
were on hand to help the club
celebrate.
Mrs. Davis used the BPW
club’s program of “Say Yes To
Youth, Education and Service,”
during her talk.
She said that America, geared
to youth, has left its young peo
ple a staggering pile of problems
to solve.
She called on this nation to
give support and encouragement
to young people who face a wor
ld that is changing rapidly.
Mrs. Davis described some of
the students she had found dur
ing a visit to Berkley. Calif,
where the University of Califor
nia is located.
She told of visiting the street
where students come to demon
strate in front of a newspaper of
fice. Mrs. Davis told of the
“beatnik” type students she saw
in a restaurant during her visit.
“You couldn’t tell the girls
from the boys,” she said, des
cribing the long hair some of the
male students wore. Mrs. Davis
indicated some of the students
such as these beatniks were
throwing away their opportunity
for an education.
She compared their opportun
ities with the students she found
in Egypt and Greece during vis-

Bond said.
The 26-year-old public rela
tions director of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Com
mittee, also protested a Fulton
County decision to have only
one polling place at the county
courthouse for the special Feb.
23 election to fill Bond seat.
Bond is the only candidate who f
has filed for the election.
The county is allowed to limit
polling places to one in special
elections with only one candi

Education Act budget.” I
The resolutions passed by the
board and sent to the Georgia
delegation said that the state’s
appropriation under the Voca
tional Education Act of 1963
faces cuts totalling $1.5 million
and that the President’s pro
posed budget includes a pro
posed reduction of $101 million
In school lunch and special milk
programs which would virtually
eliminate the milk program in
Georgia schools.
Both resolutions ask that the
delegation give strong support ,
to restoration of the funds. A
third recommendation calls for
a supplemental appropriation of
$47 million for fiscal 1966 to
cover a shortage of federal im
pact funds.
The conviction of the younger
brother was the first known
case in Georgia in which a pre- '
dominantly Negro jury sat in
judgment of a Negro charged
with killing a whte man. The
court stipulated that both
youths serve their terms in a
state training school.
Willie James entered his plea
as a large number of prospec
tive jurymen crowded into the
Schley County courthouse for '
his trial.

sented the NEA.
A small group of students can
gather on a street in an Egyp
tian city and in no time grow to
a mob of thousands, Mrs. Davis
said.
Turning to education, Mrs.
Davis said that the cornerstone
of learning is a good teacher.
She emphasized the Importan
ce of having qualified teachers
to lead the young people of to
day.
In some African counries,
they have teachers with third gr
ade educations t eaching first
graders, she said.
Mrs. Davis, a member of the
BPW Club, commend the club's
program of service. She said its
base was broad enough to be of
real value in a number of areas.
Mrs. Hope Avery, president of
the club this year, welcomed the
guests and presided at the an
nual affair.
