Proprietors of Bobbe’s Private School in Arlington and the Fairfax-Brewster School Inc. in Fair fax County appealed to the Supreme Court. The suit against the two schools was brought by the parents of two black youngsters, Colin Gon zales and Michael McCrary. The case marks the first time the justices have agreed to rule on the legality of private school segrega tion. Some similar cases are pending in lower courts. Department lawyers said they felt compelled to intervene as a friend of the court because the growth of all- white private schools could retard the integration of public schools. “If private schools . . . may law fully deny admisison to black chil dren on account of race, and thus aid in the creation of two school systems — one private and white, the other public and desegregated — efforts to desegregate public educational sys tems may be seriously impaired,” department attorneys said. They argued that the 1866 statute is constitutional and applies to pri vate schools. The law guarantees that “all per sons . . . shall have the same right in every state and territory to make and enforce contracts . . . ,” de clared the statute cited by the Justice Department. The statute, enacted by a Reconstruction-era Congress, also said all citizens must have the same right “as is enjoyed by white citizens.” gham’s announcement was prema ture and the “decision is not firm.” Marshall Hodge, president of the Oak Cliff NAACP branch, said he thought The Rev. Mr. James’ objec tion to the appeal was based on the feeling that members of the Ken nedy branch had not been canvassed about the appeal. Hodge said he thought the appar ent rift would be quickly resolved and the appeal would be made. Cunningham said the organization was concerned over the plan which left a district in the South Oak Cliff area all black and cut predominantly black South Dallas into two atten dance districts. Meanwhile, the Dallas school board delayed until next Wednesday a decision on whether to appeal the desegreation order. After a 3V2 hour closed door hear ing Wednesday, Hunter told news men, “At this time there is no ac tion.” Judge Taylor’s desegregation rul ing called for the busing of 17,328 students, 8,918 of whom are black. It also ordered the assignment of top school administrators on a strict ra cial ratio. Hunter spoke Thursday at a meet ing of some 100 city leaders and asked them to provide “aggressive leadership” to make the desegrega tion order work. Supt. Nolan Estes echoed the theme, saying the city leaders alone have the ability to see that the court order is implemented smoothly or they alone “could plunge the city into great turmoil.” i Tl\e Shape Tilings mAIRS HAPING EMPORIUM FOR MtN 846-7614 33 I University (Upstair* above Kesami) fi 6 31 SAVE A BUNDLE” Remember the old, Cash and Carry, money saving trick?

Dr. R. L. Skrabanek said Texas has a larger group of older citizens, those 65 years and over, due to changing life expectancies. And Texas has some 175,000 fewer chil dren under five years of age than it did 10 years ago, but the birth rate is starting to go up again, he added. “Foods needed for the older popu lation group are considerations for processors and other agri-business segments of the state,” Skrabanek told Centennial Agricultural Sym posium members at A&M Wednes day. Skrabanek predicted no big change in the residential distribu tion of the state’s population. “At the beginning of this decade, three of every four Texans lived in a met ropolitan area. By 1980, this trend should increase to 78 per cent of the state’s population, barring worsen ing situations in regard to energy and fuel,” he said. Other trends are toward a female-dominated society, particu larly in the older population brac kets, and some changes in ethnic groups, Skrabanek said. sabotage the continuing struggle against the remnants of the bourgeoisie advocated by Mao and the radicals among the party leader ship. Teng, like his mentor, the late Premier Chou En-lai, wanted to minimize class conflicts so that the modernization and expansion of the Chinese economy coidd continue and accelerate. Although the official version blamed the violence in the Peking square on a handful of troublemakers foreign observers in the Chinese capital reported that the crowd of 100,00 persons was angered by the removal of memorial tributes to Chou. These observers interpreted the demonstration as an expression of support for the moderate course he and Teng advocated.

What they need is a friend. Someone to act as confidant and guide. Perhaps, it could be you as a Salesian Priest or Brother. The Salesians of St. John Bosco were founded in 1859 to serve youth. Unlike other orders whose apostolate has changed with varying conditions, the Salesians always have been — and will be, youth oriented. Today we’re helping to prepare young sters for the world that awaits them tomorrow. Not an easy task but one which we welcome. And how do we go about it? By following the precepts of our founder, Don Bosco. To crowd out evil with reason, religion and kindness with a method of play, learn and pray. We’re trying to build better communities by helping to create better men. As a Salesian, you are guaranteed the chance to help the young in a wide range of endeavor ... as guidance counsel ors, technical and academic teachers, as coaches, psychologists ... in boys clubs, summer camps ... as mission aries. And you are given the kind of training you need to achieve your aims. The Salesian family is a large one (we are the third largest order) but a warm one. A community with an enthusiastic family feeling where not only our talents are shared but our short comings, too. If you feel as we do, that service to youth can be an important mission in your life, we welcome your interest.
