( Sunphoto) City Council Voti To Join Midlands planning group BY THE WAY By DORIS A. SANDERS LAW OF THE LAND Ever since the desegregation decision of the Supreme Court in 1954, the public has been brainwashed into believing that a decision of the Supreme Court is “the law of the land.” Nothing is further from the truth. Only the Congress can enact laws. A court decision is simply that—a ruling on one particular case before the court. A decision sets a prec edent which may or may not be followed in similar cases to come before the Court. Prece dent has meant little, if any thing, to their honors now sit ting in judgment in Washing ton. Some decisions made, and precedents set by the current court hopefully will be aban doned by future courts. In his editorial of February 10, 1909 in U. S. News and World Report, David Lawrence makes an effort to set the record straight as to what is really the “law of the land” concerning integration. Wright Cannon was so impressed by this editorial that he contacted f he magazine about reprinting. You will find the editorial in this issue of the Sunpaper and I hope that you will carefully read it—then write to your Senators, Representatives, even the President to ask why the Department of Health, Educa tion and Welfare is going beyond what is required by the law in order to force racial balance in schools. CET THAT MONEY 1 notice that city council has voted to join some sort of “regional planning commiss ion” which I admit I know nothing about, but I gathered from the broadcast council meeting that what interests the gentlemen is that by join ing the council, we have a chance to “get more federal funds. ” I wonder if the time will ever come when ruling bodies on the city, county, state and national levels will realize that those federal funds they are so intent upon getting are our funds; lhi> is a huge chunk of our income that goes to Wash ington and is dribbled back on a much depreciated scale. The council would do much better if it would petition tho ('ongnsc to cut down on fed eral handouts rather than try me ; i get i'm paw into t 1. e pork barrel.

The planning council, which includes Richland, Fairfield, Newberry and Lexington coun ties, is a planning and develop ment agency designed to secure and administer regional plan ning and development projects with state and federal f. G to the municipalities and c- ties in the region. The cost to the city to join the regional planning district is based on a charge of 7b cents for each person in the city limits. A request from the county board of education for rezoning of property adjacent to tlm Newberry Junior High School from a residential to a general business district was postponed until additional information could be obtained. The educa tion hoard plans to build an addition to the school admini stration building on the prop erty. Council approved the in stallation of a sewer line along Deridll Avenue to an area an nexed into the city limits last year at a cost of $0,120. A letter was read from ITS. Sen.
