Thomas, Broadway, W. M, Pearson, Cbal^eate Springs, Charles U. Skinner, Dunn, W. E. Nichols, Goats, and W. A. Johnson, Lillington, met In the county offices of the board on the evening of July 13 to consider the opening dates for the 1948-13 school term, and other ma jor items of school business. After a thorough discussion of the rural problems in relation to the school opening, the 'board decided to set two optional dates, August 24 and' September 1, for the white schools, and allow each district to select the date best suited for their local situation. No doubt the busy tobacco season near the end of August will Influence some to -wait until the first of Sept ember. The season is earlier this year th^n last year, and some farmers may hope to clean up Cteir fields be fore the summer is past. The pro-, longatton of the summer vacation will help to accomplish that. The colored schools of the county are to open on September 7th. All of the schools-will observe the following holidays: Thanksgiving, 2 days, November 26th and 26th; Christmas, 7 school days 'l,tglnnlng on December 18th and endlug Dec ember 29th; and Easter Monday. The board received the resignation of Mr. E. H. Boat of Erwin who has ■been chairman of the Erwin School Board for 29 years. Pressing duties at the Erwin Mills -where Mr, Host is general manager was given as the naln reason for the resignat.bn, al though Mr. Host wished a younger man to serve as school committee man. Following the acceptance of the resignation, the board . passed the following resolution commending Mr. Host for his long and efficient serv ice: Resolved, that the Board of Edu cation wishes to express its apprecia tion to Mr. Boat for the fine and ef ficient manner in which -he has serv ed Erwin Schools in particular and the county schools In general as chairman of the Erwin School Dis trict Committee tor a -period of 29 oreara. Mr. Boat’s leadership in this field of service has been outstanding. Mr. Z. £. Matthews was appointed (o take Mr. Boat’s -place in the Er win District. The -board appointed as attendance officer for the coming year, Mr. Cad G. Collins. Lillington R-3. With about six weeks remaining in the summer -vacation, most of the county’s school are staffed and ready for the opening date. Some of the huilding program finds several un finished structures, and some schools may re-open -with construction work still in progress. In -Lillington,.-the new gymnasium foundation and floor has been laid cntf brickwork about to begin.

The four, markets Which believe that they need to ho classified with tho Eastern ]^lt are Aberdeen, Car thage, Sanford, and Fuquay-Varlna.

Game Commission Abolishes Lay Days In Entire State The North Carolina Wildlife Re sources Commission at a recent two- day meeting in 'Raleigh voted to abolish lay days during the 1948-49 hunting^ season, A lay day was. a day In which certain game could not 'be hunted, and each county -had wldqly. divergent dat-ds ■which they enforced. The abolition of this idle day -means that North Carolina hunters can hunt game in every county of the state during the hunting season on the ^tate-wido 'hunting licenses purchased. "The abolition of lay days on all species of game,’’ Executive Director Clyde P.‘ Patton said, "was done to a^ompllsh a three-fold purpose. By applying to the entire state, the .ruling bn removing lay days elimin ates discrimination by permitting all who fbuy a state-wide license to hunt ,ln all counties on any day of .the season. Their application to all game species will make possible more ef fective and efficient law enforcement. The removal of lay days can bo proven'biologically sound as a'con servative measure.” The commission believes that all North'- Carolina sportsmen should have an equal opportunity to hunt regardless of place of res^eneq. The 1948-49 hunting regulations of interest to Harnett sportsmen are as follows: Quail—November 26 10 January 1-0' inclusive;,, dally bag eight,'pos session liiqit 16, season 100,'effective over entire state.
