Matheson, Morris Seek
Re-Election In Primary
Two encumbent members of the Transylvania county Board
of Education, E. B. Matheson, chairman, and Eugene M. Morris,
announce for re-election today, subject to the Democratic primary
in May.
Their statements follow:
Mr. Morris Speaks
Matheson Statement
“When I accepted appointment
as a member of the Board oi
Education to fill the unexpired
term of S. E. Varner, Jr., I did
so with the feeling that I should
offer for reelection at the end
of the term. I feel that I have
just begun to learn something
about the office after serving the
past year. The experience I have
gained in that time has helped
me and should be of some value
to the Board if I should serve
another term. With that in mind
I have decided to become a can
didate for election to a full term
on the Board of Education.
“I am deeply interested in the
welfare of our schools. 1 realize
that it is going to take a lot od
study and time and effort tc
keep our school system develop

“The Board of Education and
the people of Transylvania Coun
ty will face many and difficult
problems in the next few years
in connection with our school
system. Our schools are already
over-crowded. With the expected
influx of cildren accompanying
the industrial expansion and
growth of our County, new space
and new facilities will 'be needed.
How to provide them and where
to place them will present prob
lems requiring many hours and
days and months to decide.
“Having served one term I
felt that I should be glad to step
aside and let some one else
wrestle with these problems.
However, a number of my friends
have told me that since I have
acquired the experience of one
term I should stay on the Board
and give the County the benefit
of such experience as I may have
acquired. At their insistence, and
with the feeling that if I can be
of service I should do so, I have
decided to become a candidate
for renomination as a member of
the Board of Education.
“It has been a privilege to
serve as a member of the Board
for the past term. The office has
required a good bit of time and
work, but I feel that I have gain
ed a great deal from the exper
ience. I hope that in turn I have
been able to render at least some
service to the people of Transyl
vania County.
‘Tf you see fit to renominate
and reelect me I promise you my
best and most faithful service. I
shall appreciate your support
and shall consider it an honor
and a privilege to serve you
again as a member of the Board
of Education.”
