SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
In an effort to expedite a seemingly long pending applicat-
ion for Federal assistance in solving its sewerage financing
problems, Mayor Nicholas Cm-son and the members of the
Charles Town CiLy Council, accompanied by J. Robert C, n,
superintendent of municipal works for Charles Town, went to
Washington earlier this week. The purpose of the visit was
to call on Senator Randolph and Byrd, and Congressman Stag-
gers, and find out just why the application for a federal loan
to finance the planning stage of a sewerage program was
being delayed. According to the city authorities, the applicat-
ion for the loan was made about fifteen months ago and
according to a news report that was put out last week, pre-
sumably with the approval of the city authorities, the city
has beeen getting the run-around .ver since.
We commend the City Fathers for discussing this matter
with our representatives in Washington, and we hope that
the visi will indeed expedite some final action on the pending
application. But in fattiness to Senator Randolph we feel the
record shouhl show that until the City Fathers made their
visit this week Senator Randolph was not aware of the diffi-
culties the City Fathers were encountering. We print this as
a fact because there is a plain inference that Senator Ran-
dolph has not been properly attending to the needs of his con-
stituents.
Few men who have been p vileged to represent this area
in the Congress of the United States have ever been more
attentive to the needs of this area than Senators Randolph,
Byrd and C mgressman Staggers. On any problems or re-
quests within their power. We have always found all three of
them prompt to reply and equally prompt to act.

Gentlemen:
I am enclosing my cI cck for
$5.00 as renewal ubscription for
the paper.
I have agreed pro and con on
the Subject. As you may know I
was born and reared in Jefferson
County, but after forty two years
away, there are few people that
I am familiar with, excep my
near relations, whom I try. to visit
every summer. I always enjoy
coming back "home", and of cou-
rse I'm interested in anything
that affects Jefferson County, so
I guess I'll just have to keep on
getting the Advocate.

Dear Mr. Brown:
We as American peopl'e find it
very convenien to be able to ex-
press our opini ons through free-
dom of speech and freedom of
press. But, in expressing our
opinions to the public, we should
be concerned about expressing
real truth, and facts,~ tha~ are not
misleading to our American pub-
lic.
Last week in reading a letter to
Vhe editor, the author of the arti-
cle men ioned something about
the sChool board runniing a con-
test for the :enaming of Page-
Jackson School. I wonder if he
knows who Mr. Page and Mr.
Joekson were. These were two
Negro educators who contributed
much to the development of chil-
dren in this county. They did
much toward the field of educa-
tion. not only h)cally but their
great expanse of knowledge ex-
tended beyond the borders of
Jefferson County. you just
erase great men's numes when
they p ss from [he scene of ac.
ion? I say no. If the author of
last week's article, could have
found out who the two men
were. He would have been a
little more reluctant to mention
bout renaming Page-Jackson
school. I wonder what name he
has in mind. If people expressed
themselves through basic truths,
there would be confusion and
strife in his great tend of Amer-
ica, and a better understanding
among all people.
Thank You.
