Football Season Opens Friday Night At Louisburg, Franklinton Little publicity has been given thus far to the opening of the 1067 high school football season In the county on Friday night. Perhaps due to delayed school openings and short schedules, details of preparations by the Frankllnton Rams and the Loulsburg Bulldogs have been slow In coming. However, according to the schedule announced earlier, Loulsburg Will meet the Yellow Jackets of John Graham High School, War rent on here Friday night with game time set at S p.m. Although school opening has been delayed one week, due to the Board of Education's ordered compliance with a federal court ruling, the Loulsburg-Warrenton will be played as originally scheduled on Friday night. An announcement earlier this month from Coach Hlrlam Guedalla of the Rams said that Frankllnton will meet the Spring Hope Raiders at Frankllnton Friday night. Came time there is usually set at 8 P.M. Highway Safety Promoted RALEIGH? State Highway Troopers arc preparing for a heavily traveled weekend, as North Carolina and the na tion celebrate Labor Day. From the Department of Mo tor Vehicles comes a re minder that excessive speed and drinking drivers usually have an unwelcome part In holiday traffic accidents. Officials pointed out that last year 19 persons never returned from Labor Day trips. They were killed In accidents resulting from speeding, reckless driving and other violations of the law. "This Labor Day weekend," says A. PUston Godwin, Jr., Commissioner of Motor Ve hicles, "the Department of Motor Vehicles and the State Highway Patrol will be doing everything possible to stem the flow of blood that tra ditionally accompanies this holiday." Mr. Godwin said that the Patrol has been Issued "standard holiday orders." This means a maximum of number of patrolmen on the roads working maximum hours to detect violations and protect motorists. Commissioner Godwin em phasized the fact that patrol cars will be equipped with modern radar to detect and identify high speed cars. "Breathalyzer," chemical test equipment will be used, he said, when driving under the Influence is suspected. Colonel Charles A. Speed, Commander of the State High way Patrol, when interviewed In Raleigh, said, "In my opin ion, the Drinking Driver is the greatest menace to safety on our highways." He pointed out that half of the fatal crack-ups last year were the result of combining drinking with driving. "If you DRINK," he urged, "DONT DRIVE1" Both officials urged the co operation and support of all motorists in helping to save lives and prevent Injuries this Labor Day weekend.

Sims Visiting eastern European (Communist) countries Is not nearly as difficult as most Americans think. If you are In Europe and haven't made earlier plans to Include a trip Into eastern Europe, It can be arranged easily. Perhaps the easiest country to enter Is Czechoslovakia, though Poland and Hungary are rather easily entered also. A few years ago, out of curi osity, I drove to a border crossing between Germany and Czechoslovakia and wat chad the flow at traffic. Soma U. S. tourists arrived at the gat* without creden tials and Czech border offic ials provided them a visa and sent them on their way?Into Czechoslovakia? In less than an hour. Sometimes It re quired only thirty minutes. The Czechs solicit American tourists In U. S. papers such as the New York Times, stat ins Id their ads that visas may be obtained at the bor der! This Is a far cry from conditions of a few years ago. Yet the border between the Communist world and the free world, aside from the few road* which crose and which are used by tourists, Is a closed border. The ugly part of It Is the wide cleared strip on the 'other side* of the fence. The border between East Ger many and West Germany Is the ugliest of all. Both hare regularly-spaced towers and armed guards who walk with dogs on the other side to prevent unauthorized crossings. On the East Ger man side Communists have laid thousands and thousands of small mines, big enough to sever an arm or leg or kill a small animal. Occasionally In winter one can hear them explode as an unknowing wild creature steps on one In the snow, or as something else trips one Into exploding. Yet once In awhile refugees get through. But for American tourists the story is not grim. The eastern Europeans want American dollars. Americans should expect to find fewer cars, roads In various states of repair but nice driving and beautiful scenery. Food In the hotels and restaurants will not be exciting, although adequate. One can cross Into Hungary rather easily Just thirty or forty miles east of Vienna and visas can be Obtained in Vienna without too much delay. Or one can drive north from Vi enna and cross Into Csechos lovakia. For some reason, there is more tension In East Germany , and the American seems to be more suspect there than In other eastern Communist countries. Per haps It Is because we are allied strongly t o the West Germans, who naturally hope some day their country will be reunited. The Practical One She?

Governor Names School Study Commission Times Editor Clint Fuller, a member of the County Board of Education at tended the Governor* ? Conference on Public School Education last Friday In Raleigh's Memorial Auditorium as representative of the county school system. The Governor announced the appoint ment of a 17-member commission to study every phase of public school education In North Carolina from text books to buildings. The governor told the group that Dr. James H. Hilton of Winston-Salem would head the study group authorised by the 1867 General Assembly. Moore told the commission Its task would "necessitate change In estab lished patterns, not for the sake of change but for essential improvement." "Our goal Is a child well taught," Moore declared. "We seek for every child full opportunity to develop his God-given abilities In our public schools. "It makes no difference whether this child lives in the country or In the city; whether he Is white, Negro or Indian; whether he is rich or poor; he must have the fullest educational opportunity." Dr. Hilton, director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, Is a former dean at agriculture at N. C, State Univer sity and a former president of Iowa State University. Moore told the crowd at the conference that the school study also will "Involve each of you and thousands of other citizens of this state." Subjects the governor asked the com mission to study Included: (1) financing the schools, (2) the supply and demand for teachers and other school per sonnel, (3) need for greater flexibility In assignment of teachers, (4) merit pay system tor teachers, (8) procedures tor selecting and distributing textbooks, (6) school consolidation (7) school lunch rooms, (8) school transportation, and several others. Moore told the (roup that "If our public schools are to be Improved In the years ahead? and they must be then greater financial resources are essential." He expressed the opinion "more local governments should participate to a greater extent" In support of the schools. "We must train more and better teachers and we must keep them in North Carolina," Moore asserted. "We especially need more men to come Into the system, particularly In elementary education, and to make a career of teaching. I believe more Incentives must be found to keep good teachers In the classrooms." Moore urged the study group "to consider merit pay systems and new Job titles and classifications." He added that "ways must be found to Identify and reward competent teachers for their efforts." The governor said the advantages of school consolidation are generally ac cepted. The study commission, he said, " should consider ways of speeding up the process. I believe this should Include not only the merger of county and city units, but also the merger of some of our smaller countv units." Discussing school lunches, Moore said "The main consideration Is to Insure that no child In our public school system goes without proper nourishment. Whatever needs to be done to provide for these children must be done." Moore told the commission to study the status of lunchroom employes and recommend whether they should be paid by the state.
