Hughes School Changes Name and Adds Four Trustees
Four new members joined the Hughes Memorial Home board at a busy session. The institution renamed from Hughes Memorial School to Hughes Memorial Home and adopted a rotation plan for trustee elections. New trustees are Clyde S. Cassels, Charles R. Haynsworth Jr., Rural E. Meadors, and C. Miller Vernon. They join George K. Aron, R. G. Clarke, Dr. Walter C. Fitzgerald, T. Cy Laramore Jr., W. E. Link, D. A. Overbey Jr., Joseph M. Taylor, C. Stuart Wheatley, and Landon R. Wyatt. The Class of 1967 will be Aron, Laramore, Taylor, Wyatt. Class of 1968 will be Clarke, Dr. Fitzgerald, Link, Overbey, Wheatley. No member may seek re-election immediately after a term but may be chosen after one year. Overbey, home president, cited Lincoln to note a federal edict bars welfare departments from using Hughes facilities for white- trace children, while the home does not aid distraught colored families. He quoted Lincoln on strengthening the strong and lifting the wage earner by not harming the powerful, stressing admissions limits per the founder’s will. Pollard noted the backers’ will restrict admissions to white needy and dependent children of Virginia and North Carolina. Overbey, newly elected to City Council, questioned why the city Social Service Bureau is denied Hughes facilities despite substantial Danville tax funding. He also warned inflation is affecting Hughes Memorial, despite a large endowment. Pollard said the home has served about 1,000 children since its founding.
