Sit-In Staged
At White House
WASHINGTON (AP) About
a dozen civil rights advocates
staged a sit-in demonstration in
the White House Thursday.
The demonstrators, whites and
negroes, entered the executive
mansion with the regular flow of
tourists and, once they got into
the ground floor hallway, sat on
the floor and began chanting, “We
Shall not be moved.”
The unique demonstration —
nothing like it ever happened be
for at the White House — began
just before noon.
At the noon hour, the people
still were sitting on the corridor
floor. — Atlanta Journal.

What's Going On
In Your
White County
By Telford Hulisey,
THE ADVANTAGES OF
A SCHOOL SYSTEM'S BEING
ACCREDITED BY THE
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF
COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS
The Southern Association
Colleges and Schools is a
educational agency which
public and private schools in
southern states. This
was organized (to IMPROVE
tional condition in the south
tiring about closer relationships
between schools and colleges.
The association has operated in
the belief that education should
be continuously concerned with the
changing needs of its people. Pro¬
grams of association have included
studies in educational research,
graduate study, preparation of
teachers, the improvement of in¬
struction, and studies of the so¬
cial, scientific and economic fac¬
tors that affect the region.
The first step in school evalu¬
ation and accreditation involves
concise determination and state¬
ment of the school’s purpose. After
this purpose is defined, then it is
possible to select criteria which is
indicative of the soundness of the
school’s operations and accomplish¬
ments.
The central purpose of evalu¬
ation and accreditation involves
determination of a level of quality
of excellence in the school pro¬
gram. The degree of excellence
which a school shall attain to hold
membership in the association is
determined by measuring its pro¬
gram in terms of general purpose
deemed sound for schools in the
southern region and in terms
certain requirements necessary
this purpose is to be accomplished
by a school.
Accreditation is sought on
VOLUNTARY basis, The
ment of accredited status
fies that the institution has
the standards established by
association. The White
Schools are planning to seek this
accreditation. This seeking of ac
creditation will enable the schools
to seek improvements and to try
to meet the minimum standards of
the association.
The minimum standards which
the schools must meet will require
improvement in several areas of
our school program. These stand¬
ards involve requirements pertain¬
ing to the Superintendent of
Schools, the Board of Education,
the Curriculum of the schools, the
use of community resources, sched¬
ules for teachers and students,
qualifications of teachers and other
school personnel, the physical
plant, of the school (building and
playground), school environment,
financial support and experimental
programs.
If we are to meet the standards
in each of the above areas, we will
be progressing toward higher de¬
grees of quality and excellence in
our schools which we have not at¬
tained heretofore.
School In Probe
Gets New Reins
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)—
Gibbs Junior College, under in¬
vestigation in connection with
the federal student loan program,
is under new administration.
The Pinellas County school
, board voted unanimously , to . place ,

■ministration of St. Petersburg

tinue.. The school was founded in

A hearing has been scheduled
by Rep. Edith Green, D-Ore., head,

mittee, to probe the school’s hand¬
ling of the federal fund. No firm

Women, too. Wont
Right to Shoot
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) _ Xexaa
women are on the “equal right*"
warpath again — and this time
they’re aiming to cut off a man's
defense of justifiable homicide if
he kills his wife’s lover.
A woman doesn't have the same
privilege in this state. If she
catches her spouse in adultery
and shoots the other woman, she
is charged with murder.
State Rep. Bob Bass of De Kalb
thought he had a remedy. In a
bill introduced early in the ses¬
sion, he advocated giving men and
women the same shooting privil¬
eges
He admitted to the House
Criminal Jurisprudence Commit¬
tee, however, that he guessed In
a sense the bill “was legalizing
murder.” He asked approval of
a substitute which would take the
justifiable homicide excuse away
from men entirely. The bills
went to a subcommittee.
Hermine Tobolowsky, a fre¬
quent spokesman for the women,
said “We consider killing a seri¬
ous matter any time. Any
civilized country should take a
long, hard look at letting any kil¬
ler go scot free, except in self
defense.”
’eople Warned
Of Flouridotion
The Editors: 1 would like to
warn the people of Atlanta about
the danger of flouridation of our
water. This is not hearsay. This is
from personal experience: I have
lived where the water was fluori¬
dated and I suffered terribly.
Healthy people may get by with¬
out it killing them. But what about
our many elderly, weakly, sick
people with allergies? They have
to have water, too.
Let the onels who want the
fluoride put it in their water. I
think the majority of the tax
payers would appreciate this, too.

Unodillo Banker Dies
Following Beating By
Two Negro Teachers
Tom C. Woodruff, 71, president
of the Bank of Unadilla, died af¬
ter two bandits kidnapped him
and took him to the bank where
they beat and shot him in an effort
to get into the time vault. Two
negro school teachers were
charged.
Right to Keep Arms
Vita! to Oor System
The Editors: In the discussion
of gun licensing, one pertinent
fact seems to be overlooked. The
right to keep and bear arms is
protected by the second article of
the Bill of Rights. The federal
government, nor any government
receiving its power therefrom, has
no more right to deny a citizen
firearms than it has to deny him
the possesssion of opinions.
The right to keep and bear arms
is not only for
criminals, but is an important part
of our system of checks and balan¬
ces. Our ancestors had just been
through a war in which a tyranny
was overthrown by men armed
largely not with firearms made
in a g0VWMBeBt tot ^
their personal weapons. They re¬
alized that the best constructed
(constitution would be no proof
against a would-be tyrant who,
with the aid of soldiers, could
override every legal protection
of our rights; but that an armed
citizenry was a strong deterrent
to the ambitions of such a would
be- domestic tyrant
