Children Take
Charleston Tour
(The Special Education classes
at Boundary Street school were
taken on a tour of Charleston
last Wednesday. The trip was
sponsored by the Civitan club
of Newberry, of which Furman
Garner is president. Mr. Garner
has written the following inter
esting letter about the trip.)
Spring is here in a big way and
this time of year makes each of
us want to be out in the open.
That is exactly what 48 of us did
this past Wednesday, March 27.
At 7:15 A.M., a group of excited
school children boarded a Trail-
ways scenic cruiser at Boundary
street school here in Newberry
and soared off on a wonderful trip
to Charleston. Gee, you will never
know the joy that was experienced
by those children of the Special
Education classes as they rolled
down the highway at a rapid pace
and in such luxury.
The grade mothers and teachers
were very generous with cookies,
peanuts, potato chips and fruit
for the children to snack on as
they viewed the beautiful country
side while migrating toward their
destination.
By ten o'clock we were strolling
through one of nature’s wonder
lands, the Magnolia gardens. With
these gardens in spring splen
dor, the children were beholding
for the first time, for most of
them ,one of the most beautiful
flower gardens in the South. Oc
casionally we would take pictures
of the children, using the mag
nificent flowers as a background.
After viewing the gardens, we
motored to the zoo where a var
iety of unusual animals delighted
the children and adults alike.
While they were enjoying the zoo,
Civitan John Eargle, my wife, the
bus driver and I spread a delicious
picnic lunch already prepared by
Fowler’s cafe of Newberry. The
sightseers were called to lunch
and everyone ate his fill of chick
en, pork and beans, pimento
cheese and peanut butter sand
wiches, with potato chips, and
candy for dessert. We were now
ready o proceed to The Citadel.
At U. Citadel, Mr. Johnny
Halfacre, a resident of Newberry
and a member of the junior class
at the school, was our host. He
boarded the bus at the entrance
of the campus and guided us thru
the grounds. He explained all the
buildings, statues, and memorials
as we passed, thereby making the
trip much more enjoyable.
Mrs. Eargie’s class, along with
chaperons, then proceeded to the
Museum and later made a shop
ping tour downtown to buy souv
enirs for remembrances of their
trip.
While this group was touring
the museum, Mrs. Pugh’s class
enjoyed a boat ride to Fort Sum
ter. All the grou penjoyed view
ing the old relics of wars gone by.
All the classes were reunited
at four P.M. for a trip across the
Cooper river bridge and out to
Sullivan’s Island. This war one of
the most enjoyable segments of
the trip for the children as they
took a walk along the beach find
ing seashells of all shapes and
sizes. For most of the children,
this was< the first time to ever
see the ocean with its continuous
waves lapping the shore.
Darkness was fast approaching
and a tired but happy group
trooped back to the bus for the
return trip home with no little re
gret. Box lunches were served on
the bus and the trip homeward
began.
Arrival back at Newberry was
a happy occasion as a large group
of Civitans and parents were on
hand to meet the vacationers.
Happy to be home, but with fond
memories for years to come, the
youngsters scrambled into wait
ing arms for their short trip home.

The Nation’s 'Pilot Model*
THE NATION’S CAPITAL
city, once described as the “pilot
model for the Nation” and as
“integration’s show window,”
has become a cesspool of con
flict, corruption, and crime with
in the past decade. For several
years all evidence that the
“show window” was falling
apart was well suppressed. At
tempts to point up Washington’s
troubles, such as the 1956 in
vestigation of the D. C. School
System by the House District
Committee, were scoffed at and
played down. In the past 2 years,
however, the evidence has been
bursting out at the seams.
CRIME STATISTICS, espe
cially street crimes such as
yokings, rape, and robberies con
tinue to soar and highlight na
tional crime statistics. Last
year. Senator Robert Byrd (D-
W. Va.), a liberal and a friend
of the District, conducted an in
vestigation of the administration
of the District’s Public Welfare
Program. The Senator found in
a fair investigation of 236 cases
selected at random that approxi
mately 60% of those receiving
aid were not even eligible.
THEN, THE BOILING under
current of an “atmosphere of
lawlessness” in the public schools
—where “fear rages through
many school buildings” and there
are acts of “violence, assaults,
disrespect of teachers” — burst
into the open in the Thanksgiv
ing Day race ‘riot at D. C. Sta
dium. The facts on the riot were
brought out by a biracial citi
zens committee. It showed that
hundreds of white persons were
attacked—as were some Negroes
who sought to defend the whites
—after a high school football
game. The investigation uncov
ered the problems teachers have
been having since the D. C.
school system was suddenly de
segregated to serve as the “pilot
model for the Nation.” Many of
the committee’s recommenda
tions and findings were very
similar to the ignored 1956
House investigation. In one rec-
ommendatioii, the committee
suggested that the schools be
given a code of conduct “to
allow teachers to return again
to the field of teaching instead
of fulfilling the role of police
men.”
THE CONTINUOUS IN
CREASES in criminal acts,
which the Attorney General now
describes as “explosive,** certain
ly cannot be attribnted to » lax
police effort or capability. The
Washington police force’s record
for solving crimes is among the
Nation's best. Chief Robert
Murray attributes the crime sta
tistics to court decisions which
protect and pamper criminals.
He has said: “Our convictions
are constantly being reversed by
5-to-4 decisions in the U.S. Court
of Appeals on technicalities—
not on the evidence. The criminal
is being afforded more protection
than the ordinary citizen.”
D. C. POLICE have been
greatly hampered in their work
by the court rulings which limit
drastically the time a suspect
can be held for questioning,
which require proof that the de
fendant is free of mental disease
or defect, and which prohibit in
vestigative arrests. Then there
is the large number of cases
which are never prosecuted be
cause of pressure from the
NAACP, CORE, and other Ne
gro-groups. In fact, politics is
the key to the entire mess in
which the District finds itself to
day—it is the play for the Negro
bloc vote, and this has been go-
ing on under the Truman, Eisen
hower, and Kennedy Adminis
trations.
POLITICAL PRESSURES and
the national policy of creating a
welfare state are responsible for
the public welfare cheating by
the recipients and the overly
generous administration of the
program. Beyond any doubt, the
pell mell rush to desegregate
Washington schools has been re
sponsible for many of the Dis
trict’s school problems. In fact,
desegregation has now brought
on resegregation, not only in the
schools, but in residential Wash
ington as welL In 1953, the year
before the desegregation deci
sion, the D. C. schools were 57%
Negro. Now they are almost
84%, as whites continue to move
to the suburbs.
NATIONAL ADMINISTRA
TIONS have demonstrated that
they will not face up to the basic
causes of Washington’s prob
lems. The play for the 18 million
Negro votes will not permit this,
no matter what the facts show.
So, the Congress must act, under
its Constitutional authority and
responsibility to get at the root
causes of D. C. problems by in
vestigations void of political
overtones and approval of legis
lative proposals which can extri
cate our National Capital City
from the blackboard jungle into
which it has been permitted to
sink.
Sincerely,
