Dr. Clarence Poe
Opposes Proposed
School Amendment
RALEIGH. Oct 20 Or Clarence
Poe, editor of the Progressive Farm
er. ami one of the outstanding ftg
ui cs in agricultural thought in tlx
nation. and ? former sponsor of the
pi 1 1 jm j cil .school unit n((mt-nl to the
State Constitution, today released
a statement in which he oxprcaan
"serious alarm over the dangers U>
which tills amendment will subject
tlK whole public school system of
North Carolina."
It ts not my nature to be against
something but for something, to be
constructive rather than destruc
tive." Or. Poe says "Nevertheless. I
believe a fully constructive resuli
may grow out of the opposition of
those of us who find ourselves un
able to support tin.-. immnmiBl
"Certainly." the farm editor ex
plained, "this campaign has awak
ened the people to the need tor
remedying two grave defects in our
present educational machinery: ill
conflict and contusion in the con
trol of the state school system caus
ed by too many interfering boards
and 'U> final selection of textbooks
by State officials who have no
special qualifications for this work.
Declaring that public sentiment
in the State was aroused over this
issue. Dr Poe expressed also the
opinion that "our educational lead
ers can persuade the next Oenerai
Assembly to submit a new amend
ment which will avoid the dangers
In the present amendment by por
viding :
"'1p For staggered terms of Board
members to prevent domination by
any one Governor;
"<2> For eliminating the provis
ion requiring a majority to be per
sons trained and experienced in
business and finance' and proiding
instead for fairer representatoin of
educators, fanners, laborers and
pofessional men on the board.
"i3) For minority representation
on the State Board of Education.
"Certainly it will not be sensible
for those of us who admire the
present Governor as I do," Dr. Poe
also said, "to vote on t-liLs amend
ment in the light of the appointing
powers it gives him for his brief
stay in office. Rather we must vote
on it in the light of the fact that
other Southern states have elected
Bleases and Talmadges and Huey
Longs as Governors and we cannot
be sure North Carolina will never
elect a demagogue. 'Many people
would ^ay that already we have come
perilously near to it on one or two
occasions.")

uYou FIRST,. .Uncle Samf"
This is the kind of spirit we all must show if we are to keep vital
long distance telephone lines clear for urgent war calls. Never
before have long distance lines been so busy and played so
vital a role in our nation's history.
But war calls are not the only calls. Calls by civilians and
non-war businesses? calls that are not a/ways necessary ?are
also increasing. The result is crowding of long distance lines
and equipment, threatening war calls with serious delays.
YOU can help avert this threat to vital war communications
by beginning now to voluntarily rction your use of long distance.
There is urgent need now for a special effort to avoid mak
ing "long hou!" calls, lhe greater the distance you talk the
greater the possibility of delaying vital war calls, because the
"long haul" lines are the most heavily crowded with war business.
