Hedrick, who is president of I Greystone Products Corporation of Henderson and who is also the owner of a laundrymat at Oxford, said that he was unable to say just when the building will be completed, due to the fact that he was using a building crew from the Greystone Products Co. which will work on his building during slack periods this summer. He said, however, that he expected to be in operation here seven days a week beginning in the early fall. The laundrymat. Hedrick said, will consist of 4 single and 16 double-load units. It is expected that the laundrymat will be operated by two em-1 ployees.

Amos L. Capps, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, said Wednesday that the reason the county leased the building with an option to buy, instead of making an outright purchase, was to allow the Legislature time to pass a special act enabling the county to make a special levy for building purchase funds, should other funds not be available before the expiration of the lease. It is possible, he said, that such act would be passed in a special session mis summer should Governor Sanford call one for a school bond Issue proposal. The lot may be used as a site for a proposed building Teachers As Warren Goi Eight extra teachers assigned to Warren County under the Sanford school program were assigned to Warren County schools by the Board of Education at its meeting on Monday night. The board also solved a seemingly impasse over the request of three white high schools for one of the two white teachers assigned to the county by agreeing to pay the salary of a third teacher. Under the state plan one teacher was assigned to the county for each 20 teachers in the system. Warren County with 59 white teachers, missed being assigned three teachers by one, and only was assigned two additional teachers. Each of the three white high schools requested that one of these teachers be assigned to their school. Mifekine the ranueet were Kenneth Severance and Bobby Clark for tho Norllna school, W. R. Drake for tbo John Craham school, and Principal L. C. Robinson for the Littleton school.

The main reason for the purchase at this time, i he said, is that the county needs more room near the courthouse, and the commissioners decided that it would be well to purchase the lot when it was available. Capps said that he did not know presently what the bouse now occupying the lot would be used for. There is some possibility that it may be remodeled, if feasable, instead of constructing a new building. The county has the privilege of demolishing the building, or remodeline it under the tense jsigned To inty Schools Graham's teacher load was 0.9 less at 30.1, but as Drake pointed out John Graham was the only white school in the county which qualified under the state formula for an extra teacher as it had more than 20 teachers in its system. He said that one extra teacher would enable the John Graham school to eliminate all combination grades, a goal towards which the local school administration has been working for years. The board members agreed that each school had a legitimate claim for one of the teachers, but that it was obviously impossible to assign two teachers to three schools. The assignment of the six Negro teachers offered no prob -nrm to -nre- ooara. ? was agreed that two of these extra teachers should he assigned to John R Hawking, one to relieve the principal of teaching duties and the ether J^STJZ SrSSJZ North Warren, one to relievo principal of teaching duties and the other to reduce data sUe io thejKinury grades.

Snow Hill school is situated ibout two and a half miles from Warrenton on the Warrenton-Kidgeway road. When [he new school is completed In the southern part of the county, the board of education members said during the discussion concerning a new building. Snow Hill children will be transferred to Hawkins High School, and a number of pupils now attending Hawkins from the southern part of the rocnty, will be transferred to the new school. A request that four children who attended a Negro school last year be transferred to the Ilaliwa Indian School at Bethlehem, was denied because of crowded conditions in the Haliwa school. The board also denied the transfer of two children from the Afton-Elberon school to a Vance County school on the ground that their request for assignment was presented too late. The board also denied a request that the son of Stephen Daniel be allowed to attend school at John Graham High School and ordered that he be assigned to the Norlina school. The board also approved the lists of school bus drivers as submitted by school principals, and ordered a $25.00 a month increase, from $250.00 to $275.00 a month, for Mr*. Frances Davis, a clerk, ale- ., nographer in the office of Supt. Peeler. It was revealed that the water bill last year at Hawkins High School was in excess of $1300. The board briefly discussed the desirability of drilling a well at the Hawkins school, which now buys water from the Town of Warrenton, but action was postponed until the August meeting of the board. Downy Mildew Makes Appearance In Cantaloup Area Downy, Mildew has made its appearance in the cantaloupe area of Warren County. Frank Reams, County Agent, said yesterday that Dr. I?. H. Person made a tour of the cantaloupe area on Monday, July 10, and found considerable evidence of downy mildew. To control downy mildew, Reams said, dust the crop every ten days or after every rain with a dust containing 5% metallic copper derived from basic copper sulphate at the rate of 25 to 39 lbs. per . acre. Reams said that thorough coverage of both leaf surfaces is essential. Dust when the air is quiet, he advised, and use only hone or ir aster drawn equipment or rotary M hand dusters that give a good U "fog" of dust N.
