Bonds Slated
To Hit Market
In December
The County Board of Com
missioners acted last nigh!
at a special meeting to get
i one million dollars of the
voter - approved school bond
issue before the buyers.
After hearing representatives of
the County Board of Education
they determined to have County
Attorney W A. Johnson to seek
bids on the offering of the bonds
for sale.
The chairman of the school
board, Sidney G Thomas, and
Robert Baggett, a member, advised
this. They suggested that specula
tions on the reception of the bonds
could only be answered by putting
them on the market. ,
' The Commissioners had been de
laying a final decision about offer
ing the bands yhile investigating
the market reactions at present
to Southern school bond issues.
It is believed in some quarters
that the decision by the Supreme
Court on segregation is affecting
buyers of such bond issues.
Last spring the voters here ap
proved a two-million bond issue,
and the Commissioners actions last
night was directed toward the sale
of one-half of this.
Glenn Proffit. county superin
tendent of schools, said today that
part of the money to be raided by
the bonds will be needed by Jan-
Advefrusing the bofSfts fill' ifttt
a month, so bids can be expected
in December if the machinery is
pet in motion now
Proffit suggested that five pro
jects contftmplar'ed under the bond
issue could be completed by ne#
fall, if pushed.
These projects are:
Two new consolidated colored

COUNT YOGI
"Hogan Cdrit Shine
My Shoes " He Says
Count Yogi, “The Legend and theVpradition,” gave a
golfing exJpfcition at the Chicora Country Club on Sat
urday. The advance posters suggesting that the Count

jtatement.
y i
Yogi is a lean, bearded, hammy
creature, and he may well be the
greatest trick golfer of the age. Ail
this pales beside the majesty of his
convictions. These are mostly con
victions about himself. Yogi has
decided, and we would not honestly
tell you that he is just hunting
publicity either, that no one oa
this continent, past or present-,
quite compares with him.
"Hogan.” he says, "could not
shine my shoes.”
This is one of minor claims. Yogi
is the first golfing exhibitionist we
know of who has billed himself,
quietly and with dignity. "The
greatest man of all times,”
We set out to interview him,
but he has dealt with shifty-eyed
newspapermen before. He let us
know right off that he doesn't an
swer questions. We asked the ques
ions anyway, but true to his word,
he answered nothing.
“Let me get in a point,” Yogi
likes to say. He gets in about fifty
five points a minute.
One of them is that in an en

tion every day, his show has not

As Cabinet Meets

Townsend drove boldly through

LONDON HP) An English cler

Canon C. T. Kirtland of Coventry
and Canterbury added that “here
she contemplates a deliberate af
front to her religion, to the church
and to those who love her.”
It was probably the most bluer
ecclesiastical attack on a member
of the royal family since the Bish

divorcee, in a speech in 1936.
