Principals of all the high
schools in Wilkes county have
been re-elected to serve during
the 1936-37 school term, it was
learned today from O. B. Siler,
county anperlntandWif’BP'hfiliilihte:^
However, since being re-elected
by the central district commit
tee C. M. Cook has resigned as
principal at Roaring River to ac
cept a position in an Iredell coun
ty school and the vacancy at
Roaring River has not been fill
ed.
The principals who will again
serve their schools are: Wilkes-
boro. T. E. Story; Millers Creek,
R. V. Day; Mount Pleasant, S. B.
Matthews; Ferguson, G. E. Tes
ter; Honda, W. L. Bowman;
Traphill, Carl Hendrix; Moun
tain View. E. R. Spruill.
High and central schools will
open about September 1. accord
ing to present plans of the
county superintendent and the
board of education but smaller
schools, especially in the moun
tainous districts, will be allowed
to begin the term one month
earlier or about August 1.
The early starting date for
schools who desire to begin the
term early will enable them to
complete the term before much
of the severe winter weather, it
is pointed out, and should there
be another winter like the one
just past the schools starting
early would have quite an ad
vantage in that children would be
better able to attend regularly.
Teachers have been employed
for practically all the schools in
the county, Mr. Eller said, and
there will bo very few changes
in faculties throughout the coun
ty.
Owners and tenants of airprox*
imately 900 farms In Wilkes

The farmers who expect to

three leading tarm'ers were select
ed as community committees and
the chairman of each will be a
member of the county executive
committee. An alternate was also

not be able to perform the pre
scribed duties. The committees
are as follows;

to check the farms of those
who have signed work sheets in
order to ascertain compliance

soil conservation act, which is
replacing the triple A ns a farm

PAID OUT OF
DOG TAX
People Warned To Observe
Law; Dog’s Head S«it to
Raleigh Tuesday
Dr. A. J. Eller, county health
officer, Tuesday mailed a dog’s
head to the state labratorles at
ftalelgh and issued a public warn
ing to people to have their dogs
vaccinated against rabies accord:
Ing to law. _
There is a false impression. Dr.
Biler stated, that dogs only hare
to be vaccinated but once to be
immune from rabies and he
pointed out that the vaccination
holds good for one year only and
that all dogs should be vaccinat
ed yearly. It really cost a dog
ojfner nothing to have his dog
raccinated because the cost is
deducted from the dog tax to the
county, the health officer said in
placing emphasis on the fact that
he wanted all dogs vaccinated
against rabies in order that the
danger of contracting hydro
phobia be lessened. —
In urging dog vaccination Dr.
Eller explained that rabid dogs
are a fatal menace to children if
they are not given the Pasteur
treatment soon after they are bit
ten by the dogs. He went on to
say that the Pasteur treatment is
quite painful, especially for chil
dren, and that no person should
be so negligent as to fall to have
dogs vaccinated.
The dog’s head was brought
into the office of Or. Eller by
J.. ^M._ ,
«l^=^y€*if-bfdroir vtas bltteii
by a dog, which was killed for
fear it bad the dreaded disease
and had possibly passed it on to
the boy.

performance of duty in combat
with the enemy during the world
war. Captain Foote upon his re
tirement has been promoted to
