trolmen who resigned in connec
tion with the beating of a recap
tured white convict who escaped in
Halifax county, he reinstated One

TOBACCO PRICES SAME
Eastern Njrth Carolina fluc
cured tobacco prices today contin
ued at about the same levels as Fri
day. Primings, lugs and cutters
were steady to slightly higher. And
the majority of leaf and smoking
leaf grades were firm or showed
small declines. There was a strong
demand for most grades on the
North and South Carolina border
belt. Most advances on the border
belt were from one to three dollars.
Some of the better quality grades
reached their highest levl of the
sason.
The plantation system of growing
rubber was not established until
1912, previous rubber supplied be
ing obtained from wild trees.
Already bursting at its seams, the
U. S. school system will have a big
ger job this fall than ever before
in its history.
Educators cite these factors in
creasing the school load:
1 A bulge in the American
birth rate that started in 1941 will
put increasing numbers of children
in primary grades.
2. Veterans wil continue to use
Government benefits to remain in
;he classroom.
3. Appreciation of the benefits
of education has been stimulated
in Americans until increasing num
bers of people are making strenu
ous efforts to continue their educa
tion. Handicaps Cited
The increasing classroom load
finds the schools handicapped.
Among difficulties troubling the
educators are:
1. Salary scales which have be
come too low because of sharp in
craoses in living costs.
2 Sharp reductions in the num
ber of people taking teacher train
ing just at the time when more
teachers are needed.
3 Deterioration of school build
ings and facilities during the war
years.
4 Sharply increased building
costs, curtailing repairs, replace-
mcnts and additions just at the
time when the need is greatest.
5. Shortages of building mate
rials. (i. Shortages of books.
Growth Predicted
The pinch will increase this fall,
but is expected to continue for at
least six years. Dr. John W. Stude
baker. U S. commissioner of edu
cation, estimates that in those six
years there will be about six mil
lion additional elementary school
pupils in the country, about a mil
lion more in secondary schools and
half a million more students in col
leges. The drive to meet the emergency
situation has long since started
throughout the country. At least 44
state legislatures have made ma
jor adjustments in school laws.
Many communities have adjusted
teacher pay with or without state
aid in an effort to hold teachers al-

Nearly all states made some pro

ware. Indiana and Nebraska pro.
vided state funds for school build
ing. A proposal to stagger the tradi
tional three-!, inths vacations so
that the schools can operate the
year around has been widely dis
cussed. But educators do not pretend
that measures so far adopted will
meet the emergency fully.
Dr. Studebaker says the emer
gency calls for "heroic action." But
he insists that the country can meet
its educational needs on the same
scale that it met its war needs so
that every child can be given a first
rate education.

composed of the heucs of all civic
clubs, with representatives from
the chamber of commerce and the
junior chamber, and for a time, as
Warren explained, the mayor and !
sion sat in. But those two officials
later were eliminated, since they
held public office.
Warren was president of the Ex
change Club at the time of organi
zation of the Presidents Round
Table, and was its first president.
Since then he has served as presi
dent emeritus.
"To show how the system works.
the Legislature at its last session
created a port authority and an avi
ation authority, to meet the grow
ing needs of the community," War
ren said. "The bills provided that
the Round Table should submit the
names of ten men for each, and
that the governor should appoint
five members from each nominating
list. In that way we got good men
and not politicians. The Round
Table idea has since been adopted
in many other Florida cities, and
not one word of criticism has been
found with their work. Of course,
it might not have suited the old
time politicians, of whom we are
happily rid."
Warren, who was guest of Paul
Davis, told the Lions if clubs else
where were interested in the sys
tem the Round Table secretary.
Francis Sack, who has served in
that capacity for the twelve years
of its existence, would be glad to
send copies of the bylaws.
"I can't resist taking a little
more of your time," Warren said,
"to tell you of the growing interest
among Florida folk in this Waynes
ville and park area. More and more
business people are coining here,
and a group of my friends with me
at the Piedmont and at High Hamp
ton are talking a lot, and seriously.
