What's Going On
In Your
White County Schools
By Telford Hulsey, Superintendent
WHITE COUNTY HIGH
As I visited Mrs. Shaddix’s Chem¬
istry class last week they were
working with the characteristics
of elements and the changes that
take place when they are com¬
bined. They were doing a very fine
job keeping up to date material
to work with.
MODERN GEOMETRY
I visited the math lab and found
Mr. Black teaching modern geom¬
etry. A new teacher and modern
geometry seem to go together very
well.
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF
COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS
The visiting committee will come
to the high school the first week
in November. They will study and
evaluate the school’s program, the
administration, the policies of the
County Board of Education and
take a close look at the school’s
self study which the school has
been working on since last spring.
From these the committee will
make recommendations for White
County High to follow in order to
be accrediated by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools.
A Woman Scorned
London Violet Watts, 43,
heard that her husband had been
seen with another woman.
She found her husband’s girl
friend in a market on the firings of
East London and poured a can of
black paint over the girl’s new
white car.
Then she smashed all the car
windows with a four-pound ham¬
mer.
She was just about to cut off
the girl’s hair with a pair of
scissors when police intervened.
In court, Mrs. Watts, a mother
of four, pleaded guilty to possessing
offensive weapons.
Mrs. Watts, who said she had
reconciled with her husband, was
put on probation.
Paper Suspends
Publication
In Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indinap
olis Times, an afternoon news¬
paper tradition here for more
than 77 years, suspended publica¬
tion with Monday’s edition.
The Scripps-Howard newspaper
had long suffered what editor Tom
Boardman described as “a long
period of increasing deficits.” He
said that even with recent increases
pi circulation and advertising,”
revenues had fallen increasingly
short of more rapidly expanding
payroll and production expense.”
When the decision was an¬
nounced to Times employees, there
was weeping as staffers returned
to their desks to put out Monday’s
edition, which carried a story and
an announcement headlined, “re¬
gretfully and reluctantly.”
Why Newspaper
c Advertising?
One of the countless reasons why
the response to newspaper adver¬
tising is so outstanding is that
women EXPECT to see advertis¬
ing in their hometown newspaper
— The Cleveland Courier.
This special advantage of The
Courier, which we have pointed
out so often, is now buttressed by
a research project which has con¬
cluded: “getting a woman to see an
advertisement is not enough —
A woman pays attention to adver¬
tisements when they’re where she
EXPECTS to see them — (in the
Cleveland Courier”

Arrogation of Legal
Power by Congress
Defies Constitution
Augusta While in Augusta at
court, I have read your reply to my
letter of Oct. 7 as contained in your
very courteous, but pointed column
of Oct. 12.
Your thesis seems to be that
our American form of government
— supposed to be a constitutional
republic — has degenerated into
one in which Congress can enact
any law it pleases and the courts
will ratify it. That thesis is directly
in the teeth of the axiom: “This is
a government of laws not of men.”
It seems to me that it is a very
dangerous thesis for if our lives,
our liberty, and our property, are
to be controlled not by a written
constitution but by the will of the
majority, then the lives, liberties
or properties of today may be a
minority of tomorrow.
And, if the Congress, in defiance
of the Constitution, arrogates unto
itself the power to try and punish
men accused of murder, arson,
rape, robbery, burglary, and other
crimes, hitherto thought to be
within the domain o*f the state
governments, will it exercise that
power in California (Watts, for in¬
stance) as well as In the South?
Or will it, as it did in the so-called
Voting Rights Act of 1965, confine
the exercise of its newly discovered
power to punishment of the states
of the South?

About People J
On "Hard Times it
The Editors: It seems that
every time we pick up a paper
we read of the hard times
various peoples in our state are
having. They can’t find jobs, go
to school or find a decent place
to live.
These are the people we read
about.
We never read about people who
want the same things, but are not
too lazy to find the job they want,
go to school, or fix up the place
they now live in. However, you
will find the ones who don’t really
want these things, but just want
to cause trouble riding around
in nice cars.
I came from the so-called wrong
side of the tracks, one of six
children of a minister (he did his
work in the church and not on the
streets), who made very little. We
saved our money, made by selling
papers, until we could buy the
house we were renting. We didn’t
have a car in the driveway, but
spent any extra money fixing the
house up.
To make this hard, my father
died when the oldest was less
than 20 years old, so don’t tell me
it can’t be done if one wants to.
