Practice Teachers
At Millers Creek

the three high schools in Wilkes
county qualifying as a training
school for practice teachers from
Appalachian State Teachers Col

these teachers are working for
the entire three months in the
schools designated. After two
weeks of observation, thpy start
teaching part time, but before
the period is over they teach the
full day. The director of student

in science and social studies. Mr.
Lyle Cook is working in physi

doing very good work and are
getting valuable experience. The
faculty of Millers Creek is glad
to have these young teachers

Lawsuit May Bar
Rural Road Plan
Raleigh.?A Durham contrac
tor's lawsuit to prevent the State
Highway Commission from going
into the road-building business
may wreck North Carolina's
$200,0^0,000 rural road pro
gram, State Highway Commission
Chairman Henry Jordan said to
day.
Nello Teer of Durham yester
day asked Wake County Super
ior Court Judge Henry Grady
to issue an injunction preventing
the commission- from spending
any part of the $200,000,000
bond issue o n road-building
equipment. The commission has
14 days to show cause why the
order should not be issued.
"This thing is going to tear
our% program all to the devil,"
Jordan said. "Even if the final
order is not issued, I think it
will cripple us for those 14 days."
Jordan explained the commis
sion had been counting on spend
ing the money for machinery,
and already has programmed its
funds. He doubted whether any
of the bond money could be used
for any purpose until the suit
was settled.
