Item 1a: Paige Young: Candidate for House of Delegates
Item 1b: “What do you mean, / we can’t decorate / his headquarters on / Sunday?”
Item 1c: “No, Susie- / state vs. federal / not church vs. / state.”
Article 1: The Free Lance-Star /September 12, 1967 / Young Hits State’s Impact-Aid Policy / Paige Young, Republican candidate for the area House of Delegates seat, has criticized the state’s policy of withholding approximately 50 per cent of federal impact-aid funds due localities. / Speaking to a group of area and Mary Washington College Young Republicans last night, Young said, “I am opposed to the policy of the state government deducting funds allocated by the federal government to impacted school areas.” / Under this policy, he said, the state pays localities, which are due impact-aid money from the federal government, only about half the funds allocated. / The impact-aid funds, he noted, are intended to help localities which have a high percentage of children of civilian and military government employees in their school systems, thus creating a burden on the systems that would not be present if federal installations were not in the localities. / Young contended the state policy, in effect, of taking half the money before distributing it increases local tax burdens in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Stafford – the area constituting the district from which he seeks the house seat. / In Stafford County, which gets far more impact-aid than either the city or Spotsylvania, School Supt. Howard O. Sullins said the county will lose $90,000 in revenue this year because of the state policy of deducting an amount from regular state funds equal to half of the impact-aid funds due a locality. / Sullins and other Stafford officials have voiced opposition to this policy on numerous occasions. The loss to Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania is considerably less. / Meanwhile, two Mary Washington College Young Republican officials, Bari Anne Holdren, chapter president, and Barbara Bailey, platforms and elections chairman have returned to school early in order to make plans for 300 members of the college chapter to aid in the Young campaign upon their return to school next week.
Article 2: Our Readers Speak / Religious Leaders And Government / To the Editor: / As a student of political science, I am greatly interested and pleased to see our religious leaders taking an active interest in government. / Our country has a heritage and tradition of religious leaders in government positions and this heritage is part of the very foundation which has made our nation great. / Examples of religious leaders in government can be found from our earliest American history to the present. The first speaker of the House of Representatives, Frederick A. C. Muhlenberg, was a Lutheran clergyman; John Witherspoon, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and a member of the Continental Congress was a Presbyterian clergyman; Roger Williams, founder and head of the colony of Rhode Island, also a great advocate of religious freedom and democracy, was a clergyman. / These are but three outstanding examples which can be found of clergymen taking an active part in government. Several examples can still be found in our Congress today. We have had many others serve in both the House and Senate, as well as innumerable local offices. / I, for one, feel that this tradition has been a factor in building clean and honest government which is so important today as our country faces an unprecedented array of problems both foreign and domestic. / ALICE HAILMAN/Mary Washington College.
