-MORE LIGHT on the matter of choosing lamps for
vjf'Jr home. Have you noticed how warm and inviting
a home looks when you drive by at night and look
the glowing windows? That is one of the purposes
of proper lighting . . . and this charm should carry
r, to the home and stand up under close inspection.
j’roportion is one of the secrets of charm in a lamp.
Re sure that the lamp and shade are in proportion,
large lamp with a too-small shade looks something
ke the clown wearing a tiny hat. And a too-large
■oade will make a lamp look top-heavy, ready to fall
over or be “crushed” by the weight of the shade.
latch the lamp to the table it stands on, too. A light
'eight, fragile-looking table may be in fact physically
irong enough to carry a very tall or heavy lamp, but
loe combination will look all wrong. Tall lamps look
best on low, sturdy tables.
vS to styling, your taste must be your guide. If in
ooubt, rely on the classic shapes—the urn or pottery
vase, with white and the safest color for the shade.
Mop in and look over our stunning lamp selection
and we’ll be glad to help you select styles appro
priate to your decor.

Half of Faculties
Integrated in County
The Houston County Board of
Education has filed a desegrega
tion progress report in U. S. Dis
trict Court here showing over
half its school faculties integra
ted.
Os 17 predominantly all-white
schools in the county, 11 were re
ported to have one Negro teach
er on the faculty. Two of the five
predominantly Negro schools.
Pearl Stephens and Houston
County Training School, had two
white teachers each listed as
faculty members.
The report showed 507 Negro
students now attending classes
in predominantly white schools.
This is 3.35 per cent of the
school system’s total enrollment
of 15,119 compared to last year’s
1.37 per cent (195 Negro students'
out of a total enrollment of
14.227.)
In a court order last June, U.
S. District Judge W. A. Bootle
extended the student choice per
iod in Houston and Bibb Coun
ties through the opening of school
and stated “wherever possible,
teachers shall be assigned so that
more than one teacher of the
minority race (white or Negro)
shall be on a desegregated facul
ty.” The order also required a
progress report be filed with the
court for Thomas Jackson, the
attorney who filed the desegre
gation suit on behalf of Negro
plaintiffs in the two counties.
Predominantly white schools in
Houston listed as having one Ne
gro faculty member each were
Lindsey Elementary, Northside
Senior High, Parkwood Elemen
tary, Perry Grammar, Perry
High. Perry Junior High, Shirley
Hills Elementary, Tucker Ele
mentary, Watson Elementary,
Warner Robins High, and West
side Elementary.
A total of 15 teachers, II Ne
gro and four white, were teach
ing in schools predominantly of
the opposite race, the report
showed.
The student choice period was
initiated with a letter from the
school board to all parents in
the school system last June 30
in which the parents were told,
“Your child may select any
school” in the system regardless
of whether the school was form
erly all-white or all Negro
| Choice would be denied only on
the basis of overcrowding, the
letter stated.
Os 11,440 choice applications
made, 71 were denied and all
of these were to Parkwood Ele
mentary School which the report
said was overcrowded. All ap
plications denied were from
white students, the report stated.
The Parkwood school has an en
rollment of 709, of which 34 are
Negroes.
A similar report in compliance
with the court order was filed
by the Bibb Board of Education
in late August. It showed 75
classroom teachers in schools of
the opposite race with at least
one in 36 of the county's 41 pub
lic schools.
About 2.5 per cent of the total
enrollment in Bibb are Negroes
enrolled in predominantly white
schools
