W. D. Reynolds, county chairman
of the March of Dimes campaign
ter polio funds has announced that
: ur towns in the county have se
ll.red more than their quota of
funds for the year. St. Pauls, Red
Springs, Rowland and Pembroke
have all more than doubled last
pear’s contribution with St. Pauls
and Pembroke ahead by a larger
percentage than any other.
St. Pauls with a quota of $1200
has raised $1883.56 and Pembroke
would hate even worse for its
readers to miss seeing an odd-
name item in Green Grove
School Notes.
So here:-
“The tenth grade student are
happy to have Rucious Hunt
return to school the second
semester. Rucious completed the
first semester in Philadelphia.
We aren’t sure but we think rhe
climate had lots to do with .he
transfer—and there is a rumor
that Rucious was home-sick
for Lucious, his twin brother.”

The bills, introduced by Senator

Under the present method of
electing members of the board the i
General Assembly, in joint session
of the House and Senate, elects the
100 members at large, 25 of them
every two years. This results in
many counties having co represen
tation while other counties are
represented by several members.
The present composition of the
100-member board is illustrative.
The members come from 62 of the
State’s 100 counties; 38 counties
have no representation. One county
(Wake) has five members; two
counties (Guilford and Durham)
lave four members; five (Edge
combe, Forsyth, Gaston, Lenoir,

are 18 counties (Mecklenburg
