The big three auto manufactur ers have notified the AUW Un ion they will terminate work con tracts late this month.

Union leaders express confidence" they will eventually work but new agreements with the manufac turers.'' . A Congressional committee has worked out a compromise meas. tire calling, for increased postal rates and a .wage increase for postal employees. Letter rates, under the law, will be four cents.

A "pupil-parent" occupational survey is now being conducted by the Perquimans Board of Education to determine the pos sibility of Perquimans County being eligible to receive funds from the Federal Government during the 1958-59 school term.. Under Public Law 874 and 811 a county may be eligible to get funds providing at least three per cent or more of the school population has parents employed on federally owned property or if employed and paid by federal agencies from fed eral funds. A number of counties in this area are now receiving such funds and the Board of Educa tion approved plans for con ducting the survey in this coun ty to determine the percentage of county pupils coming under the requirements of eligibility. Survey forms will be given each school pupil this week to be taken home and filled out by the parents. The Board of Edu cation requests each parent re ceiving one of these forms to fill it out and return it to the school not later than Friday, May 9. Application for such federal funds must be placed not later than June and the county of ficials are now planning to ap ply for the funds in the event the survey reveals Perquimans County has proper eligibility. J. T. Biggers, County Superin tendent of Schools, reported a preliminary check of school en rollment cards gives a sufficient amount of information to be lieve the county is eligible for the funds but it will be neces sary to complete the occupa tional survey to determine the complete situation. The Board of Education is of the opinion the county school population is such that between' $8,000 and $10,000 may be se cured for this county for opera tional expenses of the schools during the coming year.
