Added Month To Edenton’s School* Will Be Decided At Election Held On Tuesday « East Edenton, West Ed enton and Yeopim Pre . cincts Only Affeeted » VOTeTTo 7 Majority of Registered Voters Necessary to Carry Election That there is considerable interest in the election to be held next Tues day is evident by the heavy registra tion of voters in East Edenton, West Edenton and Yeopim precincts to de termine whether or not an extra month of school is to be added to the Edenton Administrative Unit. With an important election in the imme diate past these three precincts, which include about half of the county’s voting strength, will decide the matter of whether the Edenton school will join many other schools in the State having a nine-months term. Ballots for this election have been printed and as early as Monday of this week requests were made for absentee ballots by voters who would not be in Edenton to register their choice in the nffttter. What the voters wiM actually de cide is whether or not taxpayers in the school district favor paying for the extra month of school. School officials calculate that the added cost of another month, can be taken care of by a 7or 8 cent levy, and have placed the maximum amount at 10 cents. A nine-month school, would again place Edenton on the standard ac credited list which was lost in 1933 tvhen eight months ;of school went into effect. It would also provide re organization in the Southern Asso ciation of Colleges and Sunday Schools and would have .the effect of grouping Edenton with Class A rather than with Class B schools in the State. Os the 67 city administrative units in the State about 40 of them have already taken on the extra tax to operate on a nine months’ basis. Some of these are Roanoke Rapids, l £nfie& Rocky Mount, Tarboro, Wil son, Greenville, Goldsboro, Fayette ville, Hamlet, Mt. Airy, Reidsville, and Rockingham.,The only units in ibis immediate section without the nine-month term are Edenton, Eliza beth City and Washington. Only voters who have registered for this particular election will be eligible to cast a ballot and a major ity of this number is required to win L V*. election. Hence any voter who registered for the election and fails to cast a ballot is equivalent to a vote against the proposition. The same voting hours willT>e in effect as at Saturday’s election, from 7 a. m. to 1 p. m.

Holmes, to pass a resolution approving application for $296,000, for a new school on Hicks Field and, other improvements which would. make an attractive and useful center, j It is understood that preferential action will be taken upon applica tions in hand when the program is finally adopted and for this reason Mr. Holmes, as well as others inter ested, has filed in time. There is no legal or moral obligation placed upon the Commissioners in passing a resolution, and when this was defin itely determined by County Attorney W. D. Pruden, the Board agreed to cooperate in securing Federal aid. Providing the amount requested is forthcoming not only Edenton schools would benefit but Chowan High School would also be improved by the addition of necessary rooms, thus providing for added teaching and facilities that would greatly improve the school. Some of these were re cently requested when Superintend ent W. J. Taylor and members qf the Board of Education appeared be fore the County Commissioners. At that "time, however, the Commission ers took no action pending the out come of the government’s program. At the lofcal scholl, too, additions and improvements are n icessary, which also would b< provide
