Not a single thing lacking!
A Product a/ General Motors W?
To be completely satisfactory, a motor
car must give you many tilings—and
Pontiac gives them all!
It is big and beautiful—so big and beauti
ful that yon can drive it anywhere, on any
occasion, with pride and confidence.
It performs magnificently—and is the
lowest-price car with General Motors
Hydra-Matic Drive.* . v
It rides and handles so well that the
" longest jonraey is a distinct pleasure.

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of my dear hus
band, our loving father and grand- ,
father, B. F. Britton, who passed *
away three years ago today, May 17,
1945:
We have lost the joy of home,
A life linked with our own,
And day by day we miss you more
As we walk through life alone.
The memory of those happy days
When we were all together,
Your cheerful smile and loving ways
Will linger in our hearts forever.
Dearest one, when our days are over,
And we meet you on the other shore,
Sorrows will cease and joy begin
As we will be together again.
—Wife, Children and Granddaughter.

the April meeting, and upon motion '
being made and seconded, same were ’
approved as read.
The report of the County Treasurer J
on school funds was read and upon 1
motion being , made and seconded,
same was approved as read.
The following items of business 1
were considered: • 1
The secretary presented the three 1
copies of the auditor’s contract for 1
approval. After motion was made !
and passed, the secretary was author
ized to contract with A. T. Allen and '
Company to make the 1947-48 audit. 1
The superintendent stated that the 1
Warrens Grove School had completed 1
the wiring of the building for lights, <
and that the Rural Electrification Cor- 1
poration had been authorized to make
i&e proper connection for service to
this school.
In connection with this item, the
superintendent stated that the Britts
school had $25.00 on hand toward
wiring their building and lacked 1
$25.00 having enough to complete the
job. The contractor will proceed in
the wiring if the Board of Education
will pay the balance of the wiring
cost on or after July 1. A motion
was made and seconded and passed

the wiring job completed and to pay
the balance of $25.00 from the next
year’s budget on or after July 1, 1948.

It has a record for dependability that
is unsurpassed in the entire industry.
And it is amazingly economical, both to
own and to operate. In fact, if you can
afford any new car, you can afford a Pontiac.
Truly—from luxury to economy—there
is not a single tiring lacking in a Pontiac.
And this is always true of Pontiac, year
after year. So, regardless of when you
expect to get your next car, make it a
Pohtiac—and be nmpltttly satisfied! ,
passed, Hie superintendent was au
thorized to have the boiler inspected
for the purpose of having same re
paired or replaced, and to have the
coßt of either one that was necessary
before the Board at its next meeting.
The superintendent reported that
the wood work on the Chowan High
School building, the lunch room and
the agriculture buildings needed to be
painted, in that same had not been
painted but once during the past 13
years, the last time being almost
seven years ago. The Board of Edu
cation made a motion, and the same
was seconded and passed, authorizing
the superintendent to proceed to
have these buildings painted and the 1
necessary repairs done.
The White Oak school building, as
reported by the superintendent, was
badly in need of inside painting and
plaster patched. The Board made a
motion and same was seconded and
passed to have this repair and in
side painting done.
The Board of Education heard a
delegation from the Center Hill col
ored school relative to getting an ex
tra teacher for the next school term,
in that the enrollment was more than
one teacher could handle. It was
pointed out by the superintendent that
the enrollment for the eighth month
was 56, and that the average daily at
tendance was exactly 45, the average
for two teachers. It was also point
ed out by the superintendent that the
average daily attendance in the other
five colored schools was more than
enough to hold the number of teach
ers allowed, and that the State might
allot an extra teacher on the basis of
the total average daily attendance for
the entire school unit. He stated
that no individual school could have a
State allotted teacher on the basis of
the individual school, but that the
entire unit would have to average
enough pupils in order for an extra
teacher, and that it might be that
this term’s average for the unit might
be high enough for an extra teacher,
and that in the event an extra teacher
was allotted, Center Hill school would
be the Board of Education’s first con
sideration in teacher placement.
The Board had Mr. Frank W. Ben
ton, architect, before it with plans
and specifications of the Chowan High
School physical education and garage
building, together with proposed al
ternates. After the plans and speci
fications were studied, and the alter
nates considered, a, motion was passed
authorizing him to draw up adver
tisement for bids to be opened June
7 in the Court House at 11:30 A. M.
The advertisement would cover the
general construction, plumbing, heat
ing and wiring. Motion made by D.
H. Berryman and seconded by J. I.
Boyce.
The bills for the month of April in
the amount of $2,404.77 were ap
proved as follows: Vocational teach
ers’ salaries and travel, $479.00; Vet
erans farmer training program, sl,-
150.768; lunch room program, $201.12;
capital outlay, $30.85; Chowan High
School teacherage fund, $27.93 and
general expense, $515.11.
There being no further business,
motion to adjourn was made and
