(Continued from page 1)
the School Board, in regard
to an incident concerning his
son, William McDonald, and
Mr. Irie Leonard, Principal
of the High SchooL Mr. How-
arth discussed the matter
with Mr. M(d>onald and sug
gested that he could bring
the matter before the School
Board at its meeting on Wed

Mr. A. C. Dawson, Superin

"The Superintendent start

officials have conferred daily
with Mir. Leonard and other
interested parties.
"Ori Wednesday, Novem
ber 14, Mr. McDonald, Mr.
Howarth and Mr. Dawson
had a very cordial and help
ful discussion of the matter
for more than an hour in
the Superintendent's office.
After the discussion the
school officials requested Mr.
McDonald te confer with
them again after talking
with his wife. Mr. McDonald
staled that he would do so.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Mc
Donald elected to take the
matter out of the hands of
the school officials and to
place if in Ihe court.
"On Monday night. No

everyone conc^ned.
This is the t?xt of the state
ment released by the board
yesterday (Wednesday) morn
ing:

A JLi-X
called RlRv, is being developed in the laborato
ries of the tuberculosis research center of the
North Carolina Sanatorium System located at
Chapel Hill, and tested in animals along with
four BCG vaccciiies which are used widely in
countries where the death rate from TB is ex
tremely high. The project which led to the de
velopment of the RlRv vaccine was made pos
sible by dollars contributed to the annual Christ
mas Seal Sale of tuberculosis associations thru-
out the country. In the top picture, a rabbit
vaccines being tested, and later given live TB
germs, is getting its regular X-ray. In the pic
ture on the left, a guinea pig is receiving its
RlRv vaccination. On the right, Mac Vandiviere
(right), director of laboratories and research at
the Chapel HiR center, is shown discussing X-
rays of rabbits with a physician. According to
Vandiviere, the strongest of the BCG vaccines
did not give as much protection to the animals
as the new RlRv vaccine did.

David Bailey Joins
State Honor Society
David E. Bailey, son of Mr. and
Mrs. D. E. Bailey of South Bennett
street, is this week the recipient
of the highest honor which can
cornel to an undergraduate engin
eering student. He is being initiat
ed into membership in Tau Beta
Pi, national engineering honor so
ciety, equivalent in its field to
Phi Beta Kappa in the field of lib
eral arts.
David, a senior at N. C. State
College, Raleigh, is majoring in
nuclear engineering. Last year he
was elected to membership in Sig
ma Pi Sigma for honors in physics.
He is also a member of the
Scabbard and Blade and of Nu

Heading the slate of officers for
the Pinehurst Forum, now enter
ing its 17th year, is General Stuart
Cutler, president. Other officers
include: Max von Schlegell, first
vice president; John A. Tucker-
man, second vice president; Miss
May Chapman, treasurer; Mrs. Al
bert S. Tufts, recording secretary;
Miss Shirley Dana, assistant re
cording secretary; Mrs. C. L. von
Tacky, corresponding secretary;
and Miss Anne Hotchkiss, assist
ant corresponding secretary.
Preceding the initial Forum
meeting will be the Country
Club’s first weekly buffet supper
which will be served in the club
dining rdftn at 7:00 p.m. As al
ways, advance reservations for
this popular social get-together
will be required.
“A” conference, while undoubted
ly stiffer than that in the six-man
league, is probably not so stiff
that the Blue Knights couldn’t
hold their own. One official point
ed out that Red Springs joined the
conference this year for the first
time and had a good year, winning
about half the games on its sched
ule.
No schedule has been worked
out at present, although dates for
the games have been tentatively
set. All that is lacking is to de
cide which games will be played
in Southern Pines.
Leonard said the biggest de
termining factors in converting
to the 11-man program were (1),
most athletic scholarships are
awarSed to boys who play on li
man teams, and (2) more boys
would be able to play with the
larger team.
He said that prospects for next
season’s outlook were dim, citing,
the fact that most of the players
on the first two teams this year
I would not be back “We feel,
I however,” he added, “that within
la few years our younger boys
jwill have gained enough experi
ence to play on an even par with
the best in the conference.”

The county, loop seems better
balanced this year than any in
recent times, particularly in the

Leonard said he thought Aber
deen, Robbins, Carthage and
Southern Pines would probably
be the top four teams, though he
did not discount the possibility
that one of the smaller schools
might field a surprisingly good
team.

program.
The Cape Fear Conference pres
ently is composed of Chadboum,
Red Springs, Elizabethtown, Hope
Mills, St. Pauls, Fairmont and
Shallotte, though there is some
question, as to whether Shallotte
will remain in the conference.
Massey Hill has also been a mem
ber but will not be next year.
The conference is in the “A”
classification, as viewed by the
North Carolina High School Ath
letic Association. Class “A” means,
generally, that a high school has
less than 350 students, both boys
and girls. Southern Pines, ac
cording to Dawson, has about 220
at present, with an expected en
rollment the next school year of
some 240.
Irie Leonard, who coaches foot
ball and baseball, and W. A. Leon

that the official invitation to join
