Baptists Will Gather Friday Allotment Is Not Solpcient For Contract Buses All Schools Having TranqMiy tation Cannot Open Next Wednesday ALL OTHERS MAY OPEN High Schools and Several Ele mentary Schools Delayed In Opening Brushy Mountain Association To Convene At Moravian Falls Church The 1934 session of the Brushy Mountain Bentist association will convene at Moravian Falls Bap tist church tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock. Representatives of every church in the association Due to lack of funds to carry on transportation many schools in the county will not open on Wednesday, August 29 th, as planned. Announcement in the delay of school opening was made today by C. B. Eller, county superin tendent of schools, who has no tified the teachers and school commiteemen in the districts af fected. The difficulty has arisen over the fact that the state sqhool commission has not made suffi cient allotment to take care of transportation on a contract .| basis. The county has 20 school buses and the school system as it is now constituted calls for 49 buses. The allotment made# by the state is sufficient only for the operation and maintenance of the buses on a county-owned basis, but will not cover the cost of the contract lines. The state has taken the position that the county are expected to gather there for 1 should either furnish buses or With the !.-.aiv . ■f'ing added to Uio .. The Great Wilkes Fair which will be in progress Sept. 18-22, there is no reason why the fair this year should not . excell any previous exhibition here, is the opinion of W.

The greater part of the people in this part of the state have never seen or heard a first- class military band and the band’s concerts should prove to be an attraction that alone would make it worthwhile for the peo ple to attend the fair.

Mrs. Clements states that she does not again intend to offer any kindergarten training during the summer, and particularly urges all parents of children who will enter school in one more year to enroll them if possibio in order that they may have this pre-school training which will prove a valuable help to them wn hen they enter school.
