A Dangerous Philosophy . . . In a letter written from a Birm¬ ingham jail, Martin Luther King wrote: “There are two types of laws, just and unjust. One has not only a legal, but moral re¬ sponsibility to disobey unjust laws. >> Such a philosophy is dangerous when carried to its logical con¬ clusions. Take the instance of a man who has beenunabl e to accumulate any sizeable amount of property. Un¬ der this philosophy, what is to pre¬ vent his taking the position that all property laws are unjust and then proceed to violate them? Or take a disturbed college stu¬ dent who might decide it is un¬ just laws that outlaw obscenity and free love, and proceeds to violate them. Or take a person who decides that laws governing traffic lights and stop signs to regulate traffic are unjust, and then proceeds to ignore them. Or take a criminal whose mind becomes so warped that he feels that laws protecting homes are un¬ just, and then proceeds to violate them as a moral responsibility. On and on we could go about the breakdown of our society and government if every man were al¬ lowed to decide what laws are just and what laws are unjust— what laws are to be obeyed and what laws disobeyed. There have been two instances in American history where laws have been openly flouted and re¬ belled against. The first was the rebellion of the Thirteen Colonies who fought a way to the finish for freedom from the British laws they felt were unjust. The second was the Civil War when the South rebelled against the laws of the Union and fought a war in futile effort to win free¬ dom for thiose laws they con¬ sidered unjust. Thus we must assume, in the light of our own history, that any effort on the part of any group to free itself from laws this group feels are unjust is a rebellion against established authority. One of three things can follow: l)the rebellion, can be put down with whatever force necessary as was the Southern rebellion 100 years ago; 2)such a group can win its independence as was the case with the Thirteen Colonies almost 200 years ago; 3)or the righting of so-called unjust laws can be made by due process or law and action of the courts. But it still remains a dangerous philosophy for any person or group to take the position they have the right to determine which laws shall be obeyed and which shall be ignored. —Dublin Courier-Herald JULY 16 1965 What's Going On In Your White County Schools By Telford Hulsey, Superintendent SCHOOL CALENDAR FOR 1965-1966 School begins Friday, August 27.

Bath In The House The little mountain town of Cleveland, Ga., had two hotels, one bank, a railroad and a fu¬ ture. The depression closed the bank, fire burned down the hotels, and the railroad left town (taking up the tracks as it went). Cleve¬ land then had only a future. The 500 townspeople, however, lived for the most part in the past. You could hardly blame them. The present was no place to live. Cleveland had no side¬ walks, no sewage system, no gar¬ bage collection, no waterworks, no fire department, no farming, no industry, no employment, not even a funeral parlor. By 1944 the town had accumulated so many negative characteristics that it was generally known as “the most God-forsaken town in Georgia. 91 Today things are different. Back in 1944 an 85-year-old man named Henry Wiley, who had been sta¬ tion agent before the railroad left town, read that the Georgia Power Co. gave advice and help to communities that were trying to improve themselves. He wrote a letter to the company’s presi¬ dent. He wanted somebody to come in and offer a few sugges¬ tions. The power company sent a man in. A bunch of Clevelanders held a meeting and listened to what he had to say. Meetings got to be a habit. Old Mr. Wiley made a rather touching speech at one back in 1945. “There’s one thing I want before I die,” he said, and that’s to take a bath in my own house.” The townspeople of Cleveland did more than talk. In between meetings, they worked. Three years after they had first assem¬ bled to pull themselves together, Cleveland was a Dogpatch no longer. It had sidewalks all around the court house, and some paved streets. It had a new bank. It had a junior college and a Ki wanis Club, and a number of new buildings, including a movie house. It had a fire engine and a funeral parlor. It bought a uni¬ form for its policeman, who stood 7 feet, 4 inches tall and had never had a uniform before. In 1948 the town won first prize in the Georgia Power Co.’s “Champion Hometown” contest, on the basis of all-around improve¬ ment in a period of one year. In time its achievements inclu¬ ded the creation of a planing a dry klin, and a chicken factory. In 1950 it establish¬ an airport. Last year its com¬ spirit attracted Talon, Inc., set about building a zippier Last week the town got' its news. Because of its progres¬ spirit and willing hands, the Ames Textile Corp., of Lowell, Mass., had decided to build a $2,000,000.00 woolen mill in Cleve¬ land. Wiley wasn’t around to appreci¬ ate the latest development. He died in 1959, with the satisfaction of finally getting a bathroom in his home. — NEWSWEEK, June 15, 1953. ’fW! m Remem 0 8 r /'A Si:! .a i : V jn THEY ' to r i EXAMPLE iSv EaUbliahed 189ft Dr. King and Vietnam . . . We hope that Dr. Martin Luther King will rethink his decision to seek to use the civil-rights move ment to bring about American withdrawal from Vietnam. For there is reason to ask whether this might not be a dangerous line to follow and one which could damage the American Negro’s ef¬ fort to win full rights and be judged wholly on the basis of his citizenship and not on that of his color. As an individual Dr. King has every right to make his views on American ___ foreign, policy known. It is even understandable that he, like many American negroes, may see an. element of racial preju¬ dice in the fact that so many of America’s recent foreign steps (Vietnam, the Dominican Repub¬ lic, the Congo), have taken place in nonwhite areas. But we can see at least three pitfalls in Dr. King’s efforts to use the civil rights movement to end the United States’ armed resistance to Com¬ munist aggression in Southeast Asia. There is still much orderly prog¬ ress to be made before the Ameri¬ can negro attains full economic opportunity in the United States. This attainment alone would seem to be a big enough Challenge for Dr, King and the Civil-rights move¬ ment. It would be tragic if, in- the light of the progress which the American negro has made dur¬ ing the past few years, the action of Dr. King or of any other negro leader should arouse doubts on the American negro's commit ment behind America’s difficult but. necessary foreign policy of resistence to Communist imperi¬ alism. There are presistent reports, particularly in the south (the la¬ test stemming from a legislative commission report to the Alabama Legislature) that Dr. King is either Communist-controlled or Communist - advised. Although these reports are unproven, it takes little imagination to see how Dr. King’s move on Vietnam can add fuel to these reports. Dr. King is, of course, right when he states that America can best __ help democracy work abroad by making it work at home. For this reason we believe that Dr. King would serve both America and worldwide democracy best by devoting his undoubted talents to the orderly progress of race re lations in America. —Editorial in the Christian Science Monitor. The Showgirls Bare Their Busoms Again SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — The bosoms of Broadway were bared again today as bawdy North Beach celebrated the acquittal of its top¬ less dancers and fashion models. Two separate juries brought in the innocent verdicts Friday, vindi¬ cating nightclub owners and their busty showgirls of police charges of lewd conduct. “Show time,” bellowed colorful attorney Melvin Belli as a jury of eight men and four women found Off Broadway nightclub owner Voss Boreta and three of his em¬ ployes innocent. They were nude model Yvonne d’Angers and bare bosom waitresses Kay Star and Euraine Heimberg. In another municipal court room downstairs, another jury brought in a similar verdict of innocent in the case of the Con¬ dor nightclub, its owners, and top¬ less dancer Carol Dota, whose en¬ dowments include a 44-inch bust Both juries returned the ver¬ dicts after judges directed them to find the defendants innocent. “No police officer can substi¬ tute his personal feelings of right or wrong,” Judge Leo R. Fried¬ man told the jury. “The test is not what a couple of people feel. The test is what the people of San Francisco feel. n> Hr is .=1
