These teachers will be made up of 64 white high school teachers, 181 white elementary teachers, 14 elementary negro teachers, all in county schools, while the remain der will teach in Mount Airy schools. Since the teachers are allotted by districts it is understood that no new Jobs will be open, al though there is an increase in the total allotment for Surry county this year. Last year at tendance and other causes brought a number of suspensions and lay-offs on a number of school faculty lists. Thus this year many of these formerly-em ployed teachers will be given work and no new applications will be in order. Record Crop of Tobacco Forecast (Continued from page one) tion of 124,514,000 pounds com pared with 107„651,000 harvested last year. Commenting on the flue-cured estimate, J. B. Hutson, assistant AAA administrator, said it was by no means assured that much cigarette type tobacco would be harvested this year. He pointed to three factors, enumerating these as a very high estimated yield by acre which he said could change materially; use by the crop reporting board of higher acreage estimates than those calculated by the AAA, and the likelihood farmers would not harvest all they produced if a large crop depressed prices. Hutson added, however, the huge flue-cured estimate made a farmer election on marketing quotas to restrict sales probable for 1940. The growers rejected sales limitations on their 1939 crop in a vote last year. The total tobacco estimate of 1,654,622,000 pounds on an acre age of 1,802.500 acres compared with a total harvest of 1,378,534,- 000 pounds last year, on 1,602,800 acres, and a 10-year average from 1928-1937 of 1,360 400,000 pounds. The average yield per acre was indicated at 918 pounds this year compared with 860.1 pounds last year. Mrs. J. D.

SCHOOL BUDGET SET BY BOARD Total of $22,208 Allotted by Commissioners for Cur rent Expense Fund IS SAID INADEQUATE The school system of Surry county will be allowed $22,208 on its current expense budget for the coming school term, according to figures set up by the Surry coun ty board of commissioners. Superintendent John W. Comer termed the figure "entirely inad equate" for the needs. It is said to be slightly below the anticipat ed revenue for current school ex penses. The Surry schools are expected to derive $25,092 from the lawful sources of fines, for feitures, dog taxes and reim bursements for home economics courses and instructions. However, there will be no sur plus due to this discrepancy be tween the 1939-40 budget and the anticipated revenue, for the coun ty commissioners ordered Supt. Comer to use the adidtional $2,- 784 for the purchase of two new school buses for use in the coun ty schools.

Vaccination Clinics Scheduled for Yadkin The Yadkin County Health Department is offering protection against typhoid fever and dipth eria. Three treatments of ty phoid and at least one of diph theria vaccine are necssary. Each is harmless, practically a certain preventative, and almost painless. Neither causes an open sore. This protects you from typhoid fever for three years, from diptheria for life in 90 per cent of the cases. Dr. E. S. Grady, assistant health officer of the 4-county health district is concluding a vaccination clinic at Hampton ville, which has been attended by over 400 people. Another clinic will begin in the nurses' office in the courthouse at Yadkinville, on Monday, July 17th, at 2:00 P. M., and will con tinue for four successive weeks. All people who need vaccina tion are advised to attend the clinic or to seek the services of their family physician. Thursday, July 13, 1939 SUIT AGAINST TOWN SETTLED (Continued from page one) North Bridge street was widened from 16 to 30 feet, and paved. In order to widen the street it was necessary for the town to use the property on Mr. Graham's side of the street. As a result, Mr. Graham made an agreement with the board of commissioners and the mayor in office at that time to allow him damages in an amount equal to one-half of the street assessments levied against that portion of his property. However, as time passed the board changed members without Mr. Graham being credited with the amount as said agreed upon. It was later taken up with the board, the members of which had no part in making the agreement, with the result that it was put into court in form of a suit for a court decision. In the court's decision, the $733.94 represented street assess ments due on the property ad joining the road. The title to the 12-foot strip of property covers that portion of the street which is now paved, but to which the town has not had a title. | JONESVILLE, R. 1 Miss Leora Bray underwent an appendicitis operation at States ville hospital last week.
