Vote-Count Machines In March 13 School Board Referendum Ltabertan- The Rolpun County Board of Commissioners decided Tuesday that the county will use its new automatic^ vote tabulating efuipment for the county wide school bond referendum on March 13. The board took the action despite objection from Charles McDowell, chairman of the oounty Board of Elections. McDowell had asked the board to use paper ballots for the S16.2 million bond issue. "After all the hullab?ioo over getting our vote counting rauchnes, 1 can't see why we shouldn't oar them for an issue as large as this," said Herman Dial, chairman of the boarl of commission ers. McDowell contended that the county would save money by using paper ballots since there is >nlv one issue in the election. He could not make cost estimations support his claim, however. The vote to use the equipment came after a scheduled public hearing on the bond issue at which aobody appeared. Turning to other matters. State] Senator Sam Noble, former chairman of the board of commissioners, was asked by the board to be on lookout in the North Carolina General Assembly for any effort to redistrict Robeson County schools.

Maynor said applications have been made for up to 200 additional public housing units to be scattered through out the county. * Pembroke State University, Dr. Reising Chosen For Advanced Placement English Workshop Dr. Robert W.
