Commissioners
Concerned About
School Busses
Send Report of Grand
Jury to Sergeant
George Dail
After reading the report of the!
Grand Jury for the December Term
of Superior Court, the County Com
missioners on Monday took special
notice of the following:
“The Edenton white busses were
very dirty, the students playing in
them during school hours and lunch!
periods. There are several (racked
glasses in each bus. By interrogation
we find most of this damage is done
on the school grounds. Shortage of
busses due to the war makes it very
necessary that these basses be taken
better care of. Chowan High (white)
and Edenton colored busses are
O. K.”
In the discussion following, several
of the Commissioners asked whose
duty it is to see that these busses are
kept in a proper condition from one
term of court to another, and subse
quently ordered M. L. Bunch, clerk to
the Board, to send a copy of the
Grand Jury’s report to Sergeant
George Dail of the Highway Patrol.
A copy of the report was also sent |
to John A. Holmes, superintendent of
the Edenton Administrative Unit, and
W. J. Taylor, county superintendent,
last week.
Upon receipt of the report, Mr.
Holmes informed the drivers of the
busses coming to the High School that
more care muFt be taken in keeping,
them sanitary, which fact evidently
didn’t set so well with the drivers
because the trouble was caused while
the busses were parked or the school
grounds.
The drivers later went to County
Superintendent Taylor’s office for
their pay, but Mr. Taylor, sensing
trouble, said he would not issue any
checks until the matter was straight
ened out, leaving shortly thereafter.
The drivers then returned to the
school and informed Mr. Holmes that
they had not received their pay and
therefore refused to drive the busses
home. “All right,” said Mr. Holmes,
“let them stand. I can drive a bus
home, so can Mr. Love and Mr. Swain,
and I’ll call the State Highway pa
trolmen to drive the others home.”
Sergeant George Dail was subse- 1
quently called and two of the drivers
were replaced.

Chowan Farmers
Seek Protection
Oil Peanut Price
■
Feel That Government
Should Subsidize
Prices
»
Peanut growers of Chowan County
feel very definitely that the United
• States government should go with
old peanut growers on a program that
will protect their allotments, market
quotas and also give a fair price for
oil peanuts. A committee consisting
of R. H. Hollowell, T. L. Ward, J. E.
Baker and T. >A. Berryman, with the
county agent, C. W. Overman, at
tended the peanut meeting held in
Tarboro last week.
Chowan County peanut growers
feel that allotments and marketing
quotas for old peanut growers should
be protected, leaving the price of
edible peanuts to be supported by the
present legislation. They also feel
that the government certainly should
be willing to subsidize the price of
peanuts for oil at a price which the
growers can afford to produce them
and realize a small profit.
