Prepare Your Child
’ For Vist To Clinic
Some useful suggestions for
parents who take their children
to hospital clinical facilities in
the community.
Cynthia Butler
The clinics in our
community provide adequate
services for both the adult and
child at a price that puts
potential good health within
the reach of all people.
In order to make it a better
experience for your child, you
may want to adhere to some
firm and fast rules.
1. Explain to your child
WHY he is going to the clinic.
2. Tell your child WHAT a
clinic is.
Blacks Banned
From Swimming
Pool
The Department of Justice
filed a civil suit and an
application for a restraining
order yesterday to require the
•' operators of a Leesburg,
Georgia swimming pool to
allow Blacks to use its
facilities.
Attorney General Elliot L.
Richardson said the suit and
restraining order application
against Lee County Social
Club, Inc., were filed in U.S.
District Court in Macon,
Georgia.
Also named as defendants
are B.E. Gunter, president of
the club, and O.W. Collins, the
manager.
The suit charged the
defendants have denied,
discouraged and prevented
Blacks from using or
attempting to use the pool
facilities by falsely representing
to them that the pool is a
private club for the exclusive
use by members only.
The suit said that in every
year since 194, the pool
management has made the
facilities available to the first
200 white persons who apply
for membrship cards. The pool
is the only one in the county.
According to the suit, there
are no membership dues, no
membership list maintained,
and each member-cardholder
must pay a thirty-five cent
charge each time he uses the
pool’s facilities.
The restraining order, if
approved by the court, would
temporarily stop the pool’s
operators from refusing to
allow Blacks to use the pool,
pending disposition of the
Department’s suit.

Miss Reta Jo Lacy, librarian

College, Atlanta, Georgia is
attending the National
Convention of the American
Library Association. The
Convention is being held in Las
Vegas, Nevada, from June 24
through June 30.
This is an all - expense paid
trip for Miss Lacy granted by
Morris Brown College. She is
traveling with the Georgia
Library Association, who
sponsored a complete
chartered tour to the
convention, including travel
service, hotel accommodations,
meals and entertainment.
The program for the
convention will cover every
phase of librarianship including
the major advancements and
setbacks which are confronting
libraries and librarians today.
Companies whose products are
used by librarians will be
represented at the convention’s
vast exhibition. This display is
most beneficial to librarians
because this is the only time
when they can examine,
observe and inquire about
most, if not all, of the products
which are useful to them in the
field of librarianship.

to demonstrate why it should
not be forced to desegregate all
schools in the district.
Except for rare instances
where geography divides a
school district into substantial
portion of the district will
suffice to support a finding by
the trial court of the existence
of a dual system.
“Os course, where the
finding is made, as in cases
involving statutory (Southern)
dual systems, the school
authorities have an affirmative
duty ‘to effectuate a transition
to a racially nondiscriminatory
school system’,” Justice
William J. Brennan Jr. wrote
for the majority.
In so ruling, the high court
applied in the North some of
the legal principles used in
desegregation cases in the
South. However, the Court
stopped short of formally
distinquishing between de jure
(by law) and de facto (actual)
segregation, in spite of appeals
by Justices William O. Douglas
and Lewis F. Powell Jr.

BEFORE JUNE 12, 1973 -‘TM JqJ
brought by Wilfred Keyes, a
black school teacher, against
the Denver, Colo., school
board, concluded that while
there have never been laws
requiring separation of the
races in Denver schools, a
deliberate action by the school
board resulted in constructing
schools and setting attendance
zones which isolated blacks in
certain schools.
According to the Court, this
move amounted to an
unconstitutional act.
Previously, plaintiffs had no
trouble proving a
constitutional violation of the
law in the South, where the
age-old practice of
desegregation existed by law.
However, under the recent
ruling, plaintiffs in the North,
where segregation does not
exist by law but rather in
practice -- such as housing
patterns -- must prove that a
deliberate and official act of
segregation has occurred.
Justice Brennan pointed out
that such proof can be
obtained even in a state like
Colorado, where there is no
history of de jure segregation
and which is forbidden in the
state constitution.
Once the discriminatory act
has been proven in court,

however, Brennan said, school
board protests about
neighborhood school policies
alone will not serve to prevent
wide-ranging student
reassignments.
Attorneys for the NAACP
Legal Defense Fund cheered
the Denver decision, although
the ruling is not expected to
have an impact on cases in
cities such as Richmond, Va.,
where a longstanding history of
de jure segregation and
organized resistance to
integration attempts failed to
move the high court to uphold
a lower court ordre to merge
the city (predominately black)
school district with two nearby
suburban (predominately
white) districts.
In the 7-to-l decision, the
Court voted to reverse the
lower court’s findings that the
Denver school system as a
whole was not segregated, but
did not order the lower court
to return a finding that the
school system is, in effect,
segregated and, therefore,
revise its earlier finding.
Justice Byron White, a
former Colorado resident, did
not participate.
The lone dissenter, Justice
William Rehnquiest, said the
Court “has taken a long leap in
this area of constitutional law
in equating the district-wide
consequences of
gerrymandering individual

attendance zones in a district
where separation of the races
was never required by law with
statutes or ordinances in other
jurisdictions which did so
require.
“It then adds to this pot
pourri,” Rehnquist added, “a
confusing enunciation of
evidentiary rules in order to
make it more likely that the
trial court will, on remand,
reach the result which the
court apparently wants it to
reach.”
Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr.
concurred in sending the case
back to district court, but, in a
partial dissent, stressed that the
courts should stop maintaining
a double standard in
desegregation cases in the
North as opposed to those in
the South and should develop
and implement desegregation
solutions which are not so
dependent on busing.
