Shearon, Manager. Lieutenant Governor Scott said al long last, the power companies and the co-ops sat down and negotiated an agree ment to their differences. "Your side had to give a lot ' and the other side had to give ? a lot." "Now/'' he added, "a third party comes along and s^ys 'We don't 'like it.' Bar gaining Is a give and take pro position and they're n6t -willing, to give anything," v. Scott said most of the cities' V and towns' fears are based on what might happen. The League of Municipalities , contend that legislation introduced to imple ment an agreement worked out ; by co-ops and private power companies violates municipal franchise rights in determining who shall provide electriepow er.

School Board Abolishes All Districts, County Unit One The Franklin County Board of Education, In a special called meeting Tuesday night, passed a resolution making the Frank lin County administrative unit, one district. The resolution, when approv ed by the State Department of Public Instruction, will abolish the present si* district struc ture under which the schools have Operated since 1933. A move was requested by the Board of Education, of all ad ministrative units in North Carolina, to define thedlstricts In their county. This was ne cessary, according to the State Department, for proper teacher allotments for the fall opening of schools. Sines North Carolina signed the Health, Education, and Wel fare Department cpmpllance to the Civil Rights Act request, teachers can no longer be allocated by race. They will now be alloted by districts with out regard to race. Board members Horace Baker and Lelan Woodllef, who com posed the Committee to study the district problem, presented the Board of Education with a recommendation for a single district. After thorough dis cussion, the resolution was passed una,namlously. The abolishment of district lines in the county, will cause an ajustment In local school committees. The State Depart ment is formulating a bill to be presented to the legislature soon, whereby local committees would be designed as Advisory Councils for each school or groups of schools, For the time being, Tuesday's action by the Board, does not change the status of local school com mittees. In other actions Tuesday night, the Board made a preliminary' study of the 1965-66 budget which is to be presented to the Board of County Commission ers In April and received a re port on the agenda of business set for the next regular meet ing. . Th* Board is scheduled ta meet Monday for its reorganl-' zational session, but, a delay In the omlnus bill In the state legislature, which elects school board members, will probably cause a postponment of this meeting until the bill is enacled Gardner To Speak Jim Gardner of Rocky, Mount, who catfte close to unseating Representative Harold Cooley In Congress, will be the featur ed speaker at a meeting of the Young Republican Club at Louisburg College scheduled for next Tuesday night.

' . by CLINT FULLER Part V Note: This series was originally Intended to explain some of the problems with which Franklin Coonty Schools are faced and to specifically relate to the problem of compliance to the 1964 Civil Rights Act and to the proposed long range building program as planned by the County Board of Education. Since this series was begun, Superintendent of Schools, Charles F.Carroll, has ordered a stop to all compliance plans until the Federal Government clarifies their request and the Board of County Commlsioners has denie<La request for funds with which to carry out the long range plansT ? ' The survey of Franklin County schools, which did not include the Frankllnton City Unit, was taken in December of 1963 by .1 team of experts In the business of school planing. The survey was done by request of the Citizens Committee for the Study of Franklin County Schools, an organization of representatives from, every community in the county, appointed by?the County B<&r<i of Education. The recommendations ?of the Survey Team, consisted of a 36-page release, which was studied by the Committee and/ the Board. The Coifimlttee, in due course made the recommendation that certain portions of the report be adopted as Franklin County's long-range plan. Among the portions recommended by the Committee and adopted by the Board was a 12-step plan of building and renovafyon which was designed to bring Franklin County up to "minimum staie^ requirement^." This plan was estimated to cost $3,094,000.00. Realizing that this amount of money would be too long in coming under the county tax structure, the Board began a long period of study and discussion aimed at curtailing this amount and at the same time to accomplish as much of the end result as possible The Survey Team recommended the following twelve .step*, not. necessarily In order of their urgency: (1) A lunchroom addition at Perry's School; (2) A lunchroom addition at Gold Sand, (this has been done); (3) A- new elementary plant (grades 1-6) of approximately 15 classrooms to.house pupils presently attending Maplevllle, Cedar Street, Riverside, and maybe Youngsvllle Elementary. (4) A new secondary school plant (grades 7-12) of approximately 650 capacity to house pupils presently attending Gethsemane School arxj part of Riverside; (5) A new secondary school plant (grades, 7-12) of approximately 650 capacity to house pupils presently attending Perry's and part of Riverside Schools (6) A lunchroom addition to.the Riverside Schoolplant, (this has been done); (7) A four classroom, one library and one lunchroom addition to the Gethsemane School plant; (8) A new secondary fchool plant (grades 7-12) of approximately 650 capacity to house pupils presently attending Bunn and Edward Best. C9> A new elementary school plant (grades 1-6) of approximates 15 classrooms to house pupils presently attending Loulsburg Hlgh^ (11) A six classroom and one library addition to the Youngsvllle High School plant and (12) A lunchroom addition to the Edwa'rM Biest School plant. One additional recommendation was added later, to put new heat in Perry's school. V What this plan boiled down to was two- new high school buildings for those now attending negro schools and.one^neto high school plant for those now attending Bunn, Edward Best, part of Gfcld Sand and Youngsvllle, utilizing the Loulsburg High School plant as the second white high school. Under this plan, all suitably buildings would contl'rtCe to be used. Bunn, 'Edward Best, Gold Sand, Epsom, and Youngsvllle present high school buildings would have been used as elementary schools Riverside would also have become an elementary school. The locations oflhenew Loulsburg Elementary building and the new white high school were not named. This plan has not been abandoned*by the Board, but funds are See School page 4 * t ? _ _ CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS ON TWO NEW Bll/ILDINGS IN LOUI8BURG IS SHOWN ABOVE AT LEFT, THE NEW COLLEGE LIBRARY ON NORTH MAIN ST AND AT RIGHT.
