The growth of the schools Is awrealed to us by the Increased >molIment. During the school year 1924-25 the total enroll- aaent was 8,876. The enrollment lor-1984-S5 was 9,678. The aver- Skge attendance for the 192 ■easlon was 6,466 and the ave^- ace attendance for the year 1924-35 was 7,584. The high schools show the largest Increase In average daily attendance over the .ten year period. In 1924-25 there was an average dally at tendance of 380 high school pu pils as compared with 1,113 pu pils In average dally attendance during the 1934-36 session. Our system of transportation has grown very rapidly during this period. Ten years ago our equipment consisted of 24 con tract, buses. They traveled 364 miles per day and transported * -499 children. Last year 49 buses were operated. They traveled 1.- 796 miles each day and trans ported an average daily number of 2^'974 children.

Paw’s Well Drilling Busine^ Has Grown Remarkably in Past Several Years; Many Satisfied Patrons Hundreds of homes and a number of busines.s establish ments In western North Carolina can give credit for their pure, wholesome and bountiful water supply to U. E. Faw, N'orth Wil- keeboro citizen w.'io make.s deep well drilling a business. Like many other successful North Wllkesboro enterprises, Mr. Faw started his business on a small scale and with only one well drilling machine. Soon it ij^ame generally known that Mr. y%w’s method of obtaining a wat er supply gets the desired re sults and he has frequently added to his equipment until at the present time 'ne has several ma chines on vaviousr jobs in sever al Northwestern North Carolina counties. Mr. Faw adds to his equipment only the most modern well drill ing machines that he can depend on for highly satisfactory service. One of the jobs he completed recently is a deep well at Home Chair copipany in this city and still a more recent one is the well for Forester’s Nu-Way Serv ice station. A te.st run at this well shows that 3.000 gallons of pure water are available each hour, with only a 20-foot drawdown. This well is 238 feet deep. It is estimated that it will supply 150,000 gdllons of w'ater a day. Mr. Faw is a man who has confidence in his- ability to suc ceed at the job. he tackles and many years of experience en ables him to assure his customers satisfaction. Then, too, the suc cess of his husine^is is clearly demonstrated by the fact that a large number of homes of many of the county’s best known citi- sens, many of whom were unsuc cessful in previous efforts to provide a good water suppli’, are now enjoying water from a deep well drilled by Mr. Faw. By having several machines, Mr. Faw is able to enter upon ? new Jobs promptly, which makes - bis services all the more appre- ctoted by his patrons.

Established 192 3, the fuel^^e- partment of this organization was co-joined with the ice manufac- tnr.v, which had been a going feature for the past thirty years. They are operated as one con cern, in a single unit. During the course of twenty-four hours the concern turns out 22 tons of ice, which has won a splendid repu tation locally for thb purity of its product. Fifteen people are on the payroll. One thing that has impressed the writer while at North Wilkesboro. is the trucks delivering the products. The driv ers are active and alert and no doubt imbued with that sense of service that the management has inculcated into their routine duties. The founder and president of the business is Mr. Frank P. Blair, w.ho built the establish ment upon solid foundation. The Secretary and Treasurer is Mr. Frank> Blair, Jr., who is active in the management, supervising all the details that go to make up its daily affairs. As a son of its founder, he has received that training in detail and larger management that stands him in stead so well today. Speaking to The Journal-Pa triot, Mr. Blair declared, "It is a basic policy of the North Wil kesboro Ice and Fuel Company to make the house wife’s require ment of llrst consideration. Courtesy, service, and good will are part of our dally duty. To carry that on effectively, w© have six trucks to give the best of service.” * LOTS LEFT.
