ixams Coming
Before Christmos
As in previous years,
exams are being scheduled
before the Christmas holi
days.
As Nash County is princi
pally rural, many students
move to different commu
nities at the beginning of
the New Year. To keep
these students from having
to take exams under differ
ent situations and differ
ent teaching instructions,
exams are being scheduled
December 17-18,
Last year Baiioy High
didn't follow the regular
county schedule because
she opened later than the
other county schools.

COUNTY M^iY CALL
FOR SPECIAL ELECTION
Voters of Nash County may
be called upon next spring
to decide upon the future
of the Public School Music
Program of the county.
Principal Weaver announces.
When the program was first
introduced into the county,
PTA officials proposed
that these teachers' sala
ries be paid out of county
tax money. The County Com
missioners agreed to the
proposal,
RULING
When it was ruled that
salaries for extra teach
ers could not come from
tax money unless voted
\:pon by the people, some
other source of revenue
had to be found to pay
this year's salaries, ABC
funds were tapped for this
purpose,
PUNS
At a meeting of the PTA
officials this week it is
expected that the group
will formulate plans to
petition the County Board
of Education and the Coun
ty Commissioners to call a
special election to let
the people decide if they
want to increase the tax
rate 10 per cent to con
tinue the Music Program,
This figure is in part
determined by the $32,000
required for salaries this
year.
