Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO Clarke Women Voters Hear Talk On Legal Problems In School Combine BY RANDALL COUCH Comparing respective education al provisions of the state Con dtitutions of 1887 and 1945, Robert G. Stephens spoke on “Legal Problems Involved in Consolida tion of City and County Schools” before the members of Clarke Coln:z‘g:men Voters Tuesday at one in regular meeting at the Holman Hotel. “Neither advocating nor oppos ing such action,” szid Mr. Ste pheusln“l am here merely to pre sent as much as possible, the legai aspects and problems involv ed in city-county school consoli dation.” Section eight of both state Con stitutions, 1887 and 1945, deals with gxblic education. Essentially, said the speaker, there is little difference in the provisions ex cept in certain terminology. As an example he pointed out the fact that the word “children” is used in the older document with regard to recipients of state educational benefits, whereas he word “citi zens” is used in the Constitution of 1945. “This,” said Mr. Stephens, “would indicate a broadening ed yucation program.” Explaining that certain legal background seemed necessary un der the circumstances to establish a basis for further discussion of existing problems invovlved in the consolidation of schools, Mr. Ste phens stated that the Constitution of 1945 provides that no addition~ al independent school systems may be set up in Georgia, although such systems (the Athens City School System, for example) were provided for in the past and at the present time may continue to function legally as originally es tablished. Legislative Act Authority to hold elections with in the confines of the independent district for the purpose of deter mining the desires of the qualified voters in such a district with re gard to the consolidation of schools has been delegated, said the speaker; however, it appears that such action would require an act of the legislature repealing the original provision for independ t systems, according to the zcn.ku, to render such an action legal and without possible con flict, ol b Both the old and new state Con stitutions, said Mr. Stephens, pro vide for a state board of educa tion made up of one member from each congressional district ap pointed by the governor, for a state school su{»erintendent elec ted by the tgeop e for a term equal to that of the governor and deter mined at the same time and in the same manner as that of the gov ernor, and for a county system of publie schools. } The county system provision, as | authorized, states that the respec tive counties must establish and maintain free public schools and set up county boards of educa tion consisting of five freeholders (property owners) elected by the county grand jury to serve five years, the terms to be staggered. Also, it is provided that a county school superintendent be elected bympmlctomwtoratour year o In the event of consolidation of the city schools of Athens and the schools of Clarke county, stated the speaker, the independent city system would necessarily becornhe a part of the eounty system, the city board of education being dis solved and the county board and superintendent assuming overall authority for the maintenance of the eonsolidated school. Possible Problem A problem which might possi bly arise in the event of consolida tion here, said Mr. Stephens, would be the &r:sent bonded in debtedness of cﬂwstem {for the new high school Iding) and msibly similar indebtedness of eounty system. m?xstwncd as to the advantages disadvantages of consolida~ +% * ¥ X ¥ x TRUCKS * ;::wwxmu-n . $695 * 1% TON ......... 9995 KOSy x L R R T J.

One disadvantage emphasized was possible transportation difficulties. Several visitors were nt at ‘the luncheon meeting. Mpxl Dutson of Arizona commended the organ ization for considering the possi bilities of consolidation and for general interest in the problems of the schools. Mr. Ray of Towa, brother-in-law of Mrs. L. M. Sheffer, vice-president of the Vo ters group, also commended the organization and spoke briefly on the education facilities of his state. Mrs. Willim J. Russell, treasurer, announced that Mrs. L. M. Sheffer was recently appointed to the County Board of Education. Mrs. Sheffer, presiding, announced that the next regular meeting would be a candidate’s luncheon, all local candidates in the coming election being invited to appear. [ . .

Separation Asked Of Regents ATLANTA, May 10 ~=(AP)— A proposal to make the Criffin Experiment Station part of the University System was presented to the Board of Regenits Agricul ture committee yesterday. The suggestion came from a Grifin délegation headed by bank- ‘ er David J. Arnold and Quimby Melton, publisher of the Griffin News. Arnold told the committee: “We recommend to the Board of Regents that it take immediate steps to make the experiment sta tion an independent unif of the University System just as the €ol leges, Junior Colleges and Georgia ‘Tech are niow independent units. L Wt s imsortan‘t that the station be relieved of the handicap of University polities.” Farlier in his prépared state ment Afnold declared that the delegation did not believe the sta tion could operate efficiently un des “remote (grntml” from Birec for Harry L. own in Athens. The banker told theé committee the direetor at the experiment sta tion should be placedt in position to “submil his problems as freely as the president of o junior eol | lege.” There should be no necessity, said Arnold, for the director to ' liave to ditect his regquests and [suggeseﬁ‘ons through Brown at ' Athens.

The head of the Depart ment, Dr. E, M. Coulter is l‘em nized as one of the world's lead~ ing authorities on the Civil War. His latest work, The Confederate States of America, 1861-1865, has received the most lauditory re views .in the New York Times and other leading papers and historical journals. Other members of the department are acknowledged au~ thorities in their fields and authors of important historical works.

De Renne, Archivist.” (Continued trom Page One) Since 1938 he has been head of the Art Department of the University of Georgia in Athens. He first gained national recognition in 1939 when he was awarded the second prize for contemporary American art at the New York World’s Fair. At about the same time he had his work included in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and since then his works have been acquired- by collectors and museums throughout the country and he has exhibited on more than 300 occasions. In the interim he has spearheaded an art movement throughout the South—llecturing, organizing art associations, ar ranging exhibitions, serving on ex hibition juries and, of course, teaching at the University of Georgia and building its art de partment from eight students to the present 1200 with several ex tension divisions. The Georgia ‘Museum of Art recently founded on the ecampus, is a result of his efforts. Winner of many awards, his works show a deep under standing of that portion of the South in which he lives. His major purpose, apart from reaching for something greater in his painting, is to bring art into the life of more people and to dignify the status of the artist in this country.” (Continued frela Page One) would do my utmost to see that this new discovery was used in a way which would make the world a better place to live in. “Nothing that has happened since 1945 has shaken my resolve to see that great force used for peace.” In a separate statement, Mr. Truman said the act, creating an independent agency to promote scientific research, will add to the supply of knowledge which is “in What's wrong? Plenty! For you won’t find a single one of your tax dollars “working” for the Southern Railway System. That’s because railroads are self-supporting. They stand on their own financial feet — not yours. They pay the costs of building and maintaining their “highways” . . . including bridges, tunnels and signals . . . out of their own pockets—not with your tax dollars. Unfortunately for you ... and for the tax paying railroads . . . that isn’t true of other forms of commercial inter-city transportation. dispensablea to our continued growth, prosperity, and security.” “The fact that the v&rld has not found post-war security in no way lessens the need for the National Science Foundation,” he empha sized. “©n the contrary, it under scores this need.” The Poeatello speech followed a solemn foreign policy address last night at Laramie, Wyo, in which he promised ultimate vie tory for the free nations in thely struggle against the “new and ter rible tyranny” of Russia. “This is a long-time project,” the President asserted. “I know that the American people are im patient. But in this instance, we must be more than patient. “The conflict that exists in world affairs will be with us for a long, long time. “There is no quick way, no easy way, to end it.” He gave assurance, however, that “the non-Communists nations together have two-thirds of the world’s people and three-fourths of the word’s productive power” plus “the greatest attraction of all —human freedom.” “I say again that we have a long task,” Mr. Truman declared. “It may be many years before we can be sure that Communism is no longer a threat, that our goals of stability and peace have been at tained. But those goals are clearly within our reach.” Midwest (Continued from Page One; century,” said the eommissioner Math Dahl. Highway Damage “ Damage to highways, bridges | and culverts from the floods in Grand Forks county alone was es timated at nearly $1,500,000. | In northern Minnesota, flood waters menaced Little Fork and Floodwood. The Red Cross set up hundreds of cots in a new unoccu pied creamery building to care for some 350 of Floodwood’s 600 resi dents who were driven from their homes by the St. Louis River. More than 10,000 residents of St. Vital, south of Winnipeg, were ordered to evacuate their homes by Friday. More than 15,000 other persons already have fled their homes in southern Manitoba as the Red River and other streams spill ed out over some 200 square miles. At Winnipeg, the Red River's level was 28 feet, 10 inches, nearly 11 feet above flood level. Most of greater Winnipeg lies five feet or more above the river’s present level. Almost the whole western three-fifths of the area of 350,000 people is on even higher ground. Guard rails in tmowinf houses will prevent many baby pigs from being crushed by their mothers.
