Lords Approve Bill
On Homosexual Acts
LONDON, May 25 (AP) — The
House of Lords gave approval in
principle Monday night to a bill
to legalize homosexual practices
in private by adult males.
The vote was 94-49 on the
second reading. The main oppon¬
ents were $e admirals and gen¬
erals in the peerage. The bill
now goes to a committee which
can offer detailed amendments.
A similar bill is expected to be
introduced soon in the House of
Commons.
Under the bill, homosexual acts
in public or with men under 21
would still be illegal. Women are
not mentioned, since lesbianism* *
is not illegal in Britain.

THE MARQUEE
The White County High School
paper had an article in the last
issue that I think speaks the
thinking of a great deal of people.
The article was written by Lyn
Boyd and I would like to share it
with you:
A CHALLENGE TO WCHS
Next year, WCHS will be faced
with a problem that has never
existed here until this time.
most of us already know, our
school will be integrated. The 20
odd negro high school students
In White County that were
erly transported to Cornelia
gional School will be enrolled
here next year.
I suppose many of us
that we would never come
agaainst this situation. But,
it’s here and must be dealth with
properly. Naturally, it will be
to the students to get White
ty High over the rough
that will arise during the
few years.
As individual human beings, we
all feel the need to be accepted.
I think that the student body and
faculty of WCHS are intelligent
and open-minded enough to ack¬
nowledge this need. The Negroes
have feelings and brains just as
anybody else has. They are also
capable of using them.
The situation that has arisen
Ss not our fault, nor theirs. It
is the fault of history. Our an¬
cestors set a precedent that has
been and will continue to be hard
to break. But break we must. Now
.that our accustomed way of life
has been legally changed, it is
up to us to help uphold the law
and show that the youth of the
South can alter its beliefs and
feelings to meet new circum¬
stances.
It is for us, students and teach¬
ers, to show the world that we
truly mean to live by the ideals
set up by our forefathers: “We
hold these truths to be self-evi¬
dent, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain in¬
alienable rights, that among these
are Life, Liberty and pursuit of
Happiness,”
Living Costs
In Big Rise
WASHINGTON, May 27 (AP) —
Living costs rose three-tenths of
one per cent in April, the biggest
monthly jump since last July, the
Department of Labor reported to
day.
Increases in the cost of food,
clothing, transportation and medi¬
cal care boosted the consumer
price index to 109.3, a new high.
This figure means that in April
it cost $10.93 to purchase typical
goods that cost $10 in the 1957-
59 base period.
The increase was largest for any
April since 1960.
BARN BURNING!
F'
Not that so you long and ago, yours ‘his would was a starve. serious Bu% cry. not jt here meant in f
White County. Friends and neighbors, even those
of you 1 who were at odds with, would work togeth¬
er and soon a new barn, animals and all, would
appear like magic.
Today, the cry of BARN BURNING! is heard
again. Thi; time if belongs to the small u business
man. Too much of your trade is leaving the
County.

Mr. Jhn Davidson,

Cleveland, Georgia
Dear Sir:
My wife and I (she is the former
Warwick, you know) were
to visit with Henry Warwick
Hollie last Sunday and drive
up the Loudsville Road and
up the Russell Scenic Highway
for 5.1 miles and back down. We
were very impressed by the beau¬
ty of the drive, especially all the
laurel and other wild flowering
shrubs and trees that are visible
from the road.
It was good to notice that the
people had already grassed prac
tically all of the banks to Pre¬
vent . .
erosion and also to mako
them much more attractive. On
the way up we saw two deer
and two partridges which we hope
will multiply in numbers and not
be destroyed.
This will be a beautiful drive
and will be appreciated by all
who travel that way. We hope
there will be some picnic areas
and overlook points on the sides
of the road so these can be en¬
joyed, also.
Appreciatively,
H. Curtis Stephens, Sr.
Standard Telephone
Expands Program 4
Of 'Phone Education
In connection with a program of
telephone education initiated last
fall, Standard Telephone Company
has made special effort to open
its doors to local school groups
for guided tours. Already several
classes of students have accepted
these invitations.
These tours are designed to pro¬
vide what the company feels is
an essential step toward better
public understanding of the lo¬
cal telephone company and its
role to provide total communi
,
cations.
Presently, Standard Telephone
Company is making preparations
to have, on request, a program of
business education geared to the
high school and college levels.
This program is expected to be
available in the fall.

DUBLIN, Ga., May 25 (AP) —
Immediate preparation of separ¬
ate schools for boys and girls has
been urged In a resolution adopt¬
ed by the Laurens County Citizens
Council.
The resolution called upon the
state, county and municipal boards
of education to adopt the policy.
"This should have the undivid¬
ed attention of every person hav¬
ing children of school age, and
should be enforced from the
kindergarten to and through the
12th grade, the resolution de
dared.
