Thad Reece, well known Yadkinville man, was reelected Moderator of the Yadkin Baptist Association on the opening day of their meeting yesterday at Sandy Springs Baptist chtfrch. Mr. Reece was first elected Mod erator in 1933 and has served since that time. The election yesterday was unanimous. Mr. Reece is a son of the late Attorney D. M. Reece. He is a lawyer himself, but has devoted the past several years to the school system of Yadkin county as school superintendent. •The Yadkin Association is composed of 5,000 members and the election of Mr. Reece to the post of Moderator again bespeaks the high esteem in which he is held by the association. One of the highlights on the speaker's program yesterday was the address in the afternoon of Dr. Smith Hagaman, superin tendent of Baptist hospital, Win ston-Salem. Topping a long list of speakers today was an address by Dr. I. G. Greer, superintend ent of Mills Home, Thomasville. The association closed its an nual meeting yesterday afternoon after two days of work and it was pleasing to note the optimis tic trend of all who took part in the convention. Are to Appeal School Ruling (Continued from Page One) district were inadequate for the needs of the children. "But that the house bill 247 is a local act as it applies to Yad kin conuty and by means of such the legislature has undertaken to set up indirectly a school district. "That the bill conflicts with provisions of Article 2, section 29, of the constitution, prohibiting General Assembly from passing any local, private or special act or resolution establishing or changing the lines of a school district. "Therefore, the act of the leg islature is void and the Yadkin county board of commissioners have no power in law to issue bonds and levy property tax." Judge Ervin took the case un der advisement following a hear ing July 6 on the temporary re straining order obtained in Yad kin county superior court by six residents of the Jonesville school district. These citizens, J. S. Hinson, Carl Rose, John Colbert, R. S. Walters, H. L. Evans and J. S. Lyons, alleged that the bond issue election u-s not conducted in conformity with the North Carolina laws; that the board of education failed to give the county board of commissioners sufficient information on the tax able value of the Jonesville prop erty; and that some officials ap pointed to assist in the election were neither residents, freehold ers, taxpayers nor qualified vot ers of the district. The election, to issue $40,000 in bonds for the district, part of the cost of constructing the school, carried by a vote of 635 to 355. At the present time Jonesville district grammar and high school students are attending the same school, which is crowded, accord ing to officials, and becoming more so each year. The proposed new building was to have been erected near the present school for use of high school pupils.
