Woodllef was re placed by Jones Wlgston, a gen eral farm supply store operator In Youngsvllle. Woodllef was appointed to the Board last fall by the Demo cratic Executive Committee of Franklin County to fill the un expired term of Richard H. Cash, who resigned the Educa tion Board post to become a member of the Board of County. Commissioners. Actually, the change in school board membership was made by Franklin County Representative James D. Speed. Under the laws of North Carolina, school boards An most counties are elected by the General Assembly and not by the people, even though members must run In elections and be voted on by the people. Speed followed slmllir actions In the past by other county representatives, when he omitted Woodllef s name from the original bill, which Included the names of Horace Baker, who ran un opposed last year and Lloyd West,, who defeated Mrs. T. R. Weldon In last year's race. The published list of school members throughout the state omitted the name of the third Franklin County member when It was originally made. Speed Inserted Winston's name later and the bill passed and was ratified Tuesday by the General Assembly. Winston, 45, Is married to the former Violet Isaac of Lenoir, N. C. They hav'e two children, Linda , 14 and Jones, Jr., 16, both students at Youngsvllle High School. Winston Is a graduate 6f Youngsvllle High School and King's Business College.

He served 5 1/2 years with the Special Services in the Army and Is a veteran of five over seas campaigns. In an Inter view Wednesday Winston said, ' ? I will serve to the best of my ability. I will carry out the wishes of the patrons of the F ranklin County School sy stem." Neither Winston nor Woodllef would comment on the manner In which the , change In board membership had been done. Re presentative Speed, In Raleigh for the Assembly session, could not be reachad, He had Indicated earlier that he would comment In his column which appears weekly In this news paper. Superintendent of Schools, Wjirren W. Smith, who Is secre tary to the County Board of Education reported Wednesday that he had received a letter from House Speaker, H. P. Tay lor, and Senate President, Bob Scott, confirming the appoint ment of Winston for a term of four years and Baker and West for terms of six years each. There has been no reaction thus far from members of the county party executive com mittee, who had approved of Woodllef last fall. One member had voiced some surprise at the move when questioned last week, , saying that he had not been Informed of the proposal. He said that he voted In the meeting last -fall based on the recommendation of the Youngs vllle precinct committee. Woodllef 's name *as the only one presented at that meeting, according to the spokesman. Representative Speed was In attendance' at that meeting an? presumably voted for Woodllef since1 the record shows an un animous vote by the Committee. One unidentified Youngsvllle citizen said that the move was "strictly political" while an other vowed that "the move was Justified because that's the way politics Is played."
