The Board of Education, reappointed
by the Legislature in its belated
passage of the omnibus bill, met for
the first time Monday and the most
of the session was devoted to the
transaction of routine business which
had accumulated during the period
in which no official board of education
existed. Considerable time was
also devoted to the study of the new
school machinery act.
S HULLS MILLS MAN RAPS
SELECTIONS OF LOCAL BOARD
Editor Watauga Democrat:
'Twas a terrific shock to me Friday
when I witnessed the departure ,
of a school bus loaded with recruits
to the President's Reforestation,
Corps, for in that vehicle were several
fellows who. strange as it might
seem, came from Boone's most prominent
families,?young men who have
never been depended on for one
mouthful of the food they ate. These
boys, as I understand it, are to send
$25 per month back to their parents^
to help keep the wolf'' from their 1
family doors.
Ill my utjiixiiiuiivty til ere arc several
young men "who applied for these
jobs?boys whose families have been
vn corn-bred ration far ths ;
but r-~. they vere turned down
ilatly at the local welfare office, ancl
scions were picked from Boone's aris tocracy
to go to reforestation camps
in Western North Carolina. It is my
oelief that the money they earn during
the next six months will be sent
back holm- to he saved for amusement
and foolish purchases when the
boys get back.
Of course there were a few of the ?
boys who actually deserved the jobs,
and I am sure that the money they J
send home can be used to good advantage
by their destitute families,
but why, in the name of the J^ord,
didn't the local welfare office confine
its selections to poverty-ridden people?
Why didn't they send men who
had been on .charity during the past j
winter? Why didn't they pick a few
men in Boone Township, outside the ,
Town of Boone? And, finally, why
didn't they co-operate with the President
in a work which was destined
to rid the public of a great many total
dependents in this section? Will
someone kindly answer?
1 have a great deal of faith in the
PrwsirtAnf tirid hplipvp that hp is do
ing everything in his power to re- j
I store the country to a healthy ecoi
nomic condition, but I emphatically
3tate that so long as relief matters
are handled in the biased, unfair man,
ner which exists here, many of his
weil-directed plans will come to
naught. However, I am sure that
there have been a host of things
misrepresented to the welfare workers,
and it is the duty of the citizens
to co-operate instead of trying
to get everything for themselves.
