Henry Bumgarner

Funeral service was held Wed

$68,000 Is Sum Appropriat
ed For A.ddition to Wil
kesboro Postoffice
The Taylor Dairy, route 3,
Wilmington, New Hanover Coun
ty, reports saving $75 a week in
ot grain feed >by allowing
the cows to grace on soybeana.
Funds to finance construction
of an addition to the federal
•building in- Wilkesboro tvere in
cluded in the deficiency appro
priation biH passed just before
congress adjourned last week.
The appropriation for the Wil
kesboro building is $68,000.
A movement had ,been on foot
locally for the past four years
to convince the. government that
additional federal quarters are
needed locally and the item in
the appropriation bill is assur
ance that the efforts on the par.
of local citizens, Congressman
Walter Lambeth and others have
been successful.
When the postoffice building
was erected in this city an effort
was made to have the plans
changed to include'a-second floor
for a federal courtroom but some
objection was raised to the plan.
It was further learned that the
federal court was established in
Wilkesboro by act of congress.
The federal building in Wil
kesboro baa been considered too
small to accomodate the court
and the postoffice since soon aft
er Its construction. Due to the
fact that the courtroom is too
small federal court has often
been held in the county court
house but it was pointed out
that since the number of court
terms have been increased that
there often is a conflict of courts,
necessitating federal court being
held In . -the federal building
where the gnmd Jury convenes
in the basement.
The exstetj platW for the addi
tion in Wilkesboro have not been
learned locally. Two plans ha^e
been conaidwed: one,- to add a
second floor to 'be need as a court
auditorium with the preeent
coiurtroom being iised. as a grand
jury office; the other to build a
wing addition.' in the rear in or
der to enlarge'^ thi’^conrtroom and
allow moi^ of^ee space. -
To All School# and Eyeryt
thing (s' In Readiness For
The Opening
School bells In Wilkee county
Monday. August 30, will call
back to the scKoolrooms more
than 10,000 children as the term
will begin simultaneously in all
the schools in the county sys
tem.
North Wilkesboro schools,
which operate separately as a
city charter unit, will open one
week later, on Monday, Septem
ber 6. ' '
The uniform opening o f
schools in the county is expected
to promote efficiency In school
administration and will facilitate
the work of making out .payrolls
and reports.
For the first, time In the his
tory of the county the state will
'be furnishing textbooks free to
children in the elementary grades
and no longer will parents find It
necessary to dig into their pock-
etbooks for mone^ with which
to buy or rent books. That is ex
pected to prove to be a great
saving, especially to larger fam
ilies.
High school books will be rent
ed for one-third the retail price.
However, children are held re
sponsible for books allotted them
or for all, damage in excess of
reasonable wear. '
The boo^ Vore received aev-
year. All children are urged to
be present on opening day in or
der that the work of individual
distribution of books may be ac
complished In’ sihort order and
any shortage can 'be made up by
securing additional books at the
earliest possible date. School au-
Uiorities have pointed out the
wiportance of this matter and
have urged that parents make
every ^effort to have their chil
dren enrolled on opening day.
Supplementary readers will be
furnished children in the ele
mentary grades for a small rent
al fee. This is the first time that
the rural schools have bad such
facilities and full cooperation is
urged, C. B. Eller, county super
intendent of schools, said in a
recent interview relative to
schools in the county.

Referring to the fact that one
defendant, Harrison Prevette,
was convicted In "Wilkes superior
court last week for failure to
send his children to school,
Charles McNeill, .Wilkes county
welfare officer, said today that
the school attendance law will be
strictly enforced during the term
which opens Monday. ^
Reports ot unotcused absences
will be closely followed up, he
said, and (persons who wilfully
violate the law may expect to be
prosecuted in the (marts.
. This y»r..#imuy,. pL^he^. most
mbng ‘the ftcn,ees m^fC 'tfoipient*
ly offered Is the claim that the
children do not have books, and
that the parents have co money
with which to buy books. This
year the state will furnish books
without cost to all children in
the elementary grades.
Transportation lines cpver the
county and very few children
have any great distance to walk
to school. School is beginning
early when no inclement weather
will he an excuse for sev’eral
months. Hence the statement
that prosecutions will be made
If investigation warrants such
course soon after reports of un
excused absences are given.
With the many advantages
that children now have for ob
taining au education Mr. McNeill
urged that parents send their
children on opening day and eve
ry school day thereafter in order
that they may take full advant
age of the educational opportun
ities 80 freely afforded.
