to approve withdrawal of the
property of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
M. Wclburn from t h e South
Talent Sanitary Sewer District.
.lool Reeder, representing the
Welburns and Mr. and Mrs.
George Schuler at a public
hearing yesterday said the Scliu
lors had decided not to seek
withdrawal from the district.
The Medlord lawyer said he
would file a paper stating litis.
The Welburns said they have
a good septic tank, Wclburn will
retire soon and the sanitary
district assessment would work
n hardship on them.
Reeder noted thai t h e dis
trict's board of directors have
no objections to the withdrawals
of Hose M. Thorpe, Joseph P.
Dug.in, Pat Dugan, Robert M.
Mullin. An order will be drawn
approving these withdrawals, it
was decided.
Earlier this month the County
Court decided against allowing
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kdward
James to withdraw their prop
erty from the district. They said
a sewer service would benefit
the property which has been
plaited already Into subdivision
lols. The law gave them no
choice, the County Court mem
bers said.

Court approved withdrawal of
21 properties from the district.
Monday residents within the
sanitary district voted down a
proposed $165,000 bond issue al

"to stay even." Beckon spoke
of Ihe thousands of jobs being
rendered obsolete through auto
mation and said thai is pre
dicted that, by 1970 women work
ers will number 50 million.

Integrationists
Win In Chicago
On Oct. 22, civil rights groups
In Chicago staged the largest
school boycott ever called In the
nation.
A total o( 221,700 pupils were
reported absent by school offi
cials out of a total enrollment of
469,7:13 in the 1st through 12th
grades. It involved 47 per cent
of all Chicago public school stu
dents.
The students who plaved
hooky were protesting "dc facto
segregation" which Negroes
contend exists in Chicago
schools. They also opposed
School Supt. Benjamin C. Wil
lis. His ouster was demaned in
repeated demonstrations all
summer. Mass arrests were
made.
One particular sore point with
Chicago Negroes was the use of
mobile classrooms so-called
"Willis Wagons" in Negro
neighborhoods to relieve crowd
ed schools. Negroes saw this as
an attempt to further "dc facto
segregation" by keeping Ne
gros hemmed into their own
neighborhoods.
Cost of Ihe boycott: An esti
mated $470,000 was lost in state
aid school funds, bused on over
age daily attendance in schools.
Integration leaders won a big
victory last week when Willis
invited parents of 16.000 child
ren In overcrowded schools lo
make transfer applications In
underused s c h 0 0 Is in other
neighborhoods.
The overcrowded schools were
split evenly about half pre
dominantly white and about half
mostly Negro. Most of the un
derused schools were predomi
nantly white.

school integration, the Rev.

will take 99 years to integrate
the nation's schools fully.
Overall progress Is slowest in
the South. No Negroes are en

government to back up with
