The committee h*o been meeting once • month, on Saturday mornings* The committee wan organized with one representative from each school district, plus the county superintendent. That means that the smaller school districts have a majority of members on the board, although two members on the board, those from Berne-French and Decatur. represent more than two-thirds of all the achool children in the county. Under the school reorganization act, units must be a minimum of 1,000 average daily attendance in size. Only’ Decatur’s system approaches this bare minimum. The eight districts, under the law, would have to be reduced to three, probably. This would not in any way abolish schools. It might cut the number of superintendents or principals. But every school building presently constructed could be used. It would tend to equalize the support of public schools among the people of the county. For example, parents who live in Decatur, and whose children attend parochial schools here, now support Decatur s schools. Likewise for those in Adams Central’s three townships. But those-who live in Preble and Union township support no school—they have only to pay the cost of transferring those pupils who do not attend parochial schools, and do not have to pay towards the building programs, etc., of the local schools. Under the new system, public schools would be supported by all the taxpayers in the county, not just part of them.

Deaths Increasing From Flu, Pneumonia WASHINGTON <UPI» — The Asian flu ipidemic. now striking [victims in almast half the states, is causing an increasing number of deaths from influenza and pneumonia. , . . During the first five weeks of this year, 4.033 persons were reported to have died of flu and pneumonia in 108 large cities, an increase of 44 per cent over the same period last year. The 1960 death total was 20 per cent higher than in the first five weeks of 1958 when the original Asian flu epidemic still was in progress. Surgeon General Leroy Burney said the figures, released Thursday by the Public Health Service. “seem to bear out clinical impressions of some physicians that they are encountering a. mdre than normal amount of pneumonia this year He said that in contrast to the 1957-58 Asian flu outbreak, respiratory infections this year are attacking adults more than children. Some reports indicate most pneumonia and flu fatalities are over 65 years old The health service said the flu epidemic had begun to subside in southern California, Texas. Alabama. Massachusetts and some parts of West Virginia. But northern Texas maintained a high level of flu infections and Mississippi showed an increase.

Blunt Challenge In Churches On Sunday By IXM'BI ( AMBaOJI l'*M fr*.. tatatwaiteaal Protestant churchgoer* across the nation will br confronted Sun day morning with a «erm<*> de tignad to touch them literally where they live. „ Thia unusual sermon, to be read simultaneously from thou sands of different pulpits, will lake the form of a message from the National Council of Churches It was Issued In cxMinrctlon with the annual observance of Race Relations Sunday." As might be expected on such an occasion, it deal* with the problem of segregation But unlike some of the message* which the national council has sent out on similar occasion* in previous years, it is not just a pious appeal for brotherly love which church members can listen to. agree with, and forget. Blu.A Challenge Issued It is a blunt challenge to local churches and individual Christians to do something—direct, immediate and concrete —about opening up all - white neighborhoods to Negro families.

It is addressed primarily to white Christians of northern cities who have been inclined to think of segregation as a southern dilemma. It points out that the average northern Christian has np "race relations" problem simply because he has no Negro neighbors. His church may proudly proclaim Itself "racially inclusive” but the declaration means nothing since there are no Negro families within miles to come through the "open door " The message asserts that segregation in bousing is hurting not only Negro families who are forced to bring up their children in overpriced, overcrowded urban slums, but also white families who "perpetuate or acquiesce in” a system that is patently unfair and un-Christian. Can Use Influence "Many people are concerned about the problem.” it says, but feel helpless to do anything about it. But it contends that there are many "practical” steps that churches and Individual Christians can take, beginning now, to help break doWn the pattern of residential segregation. First, it says, each individual Christian who owns residential property can make up his mind that when he wants to sell or rent it, he will make it available to otherwise qualified applicants “without regard to race.” If the question arises, "What would my neighbors say’,” he can remind himself that he must pot allow “the wishes of a neighbor" to transcend the teachings of Christ. Churches can “use their influence to see that the community guarantees” the right of Negroes both to obtain desirable housing and to occupy it in peace.
