Teacher Problem Is Heniford's
Subject In Talk To Rotarians
Citizens of Tabor City and the
South must take immediate steps
to see that their teachers are
better paid or face the fact that
their children soon will be under
the instruction of inadequately
trained personnel, the Tabor City
Rotary club was told Monday
night by Lewis Heniford of Lo
ris, a member of the local high
school faculty.
Declaring that he was plan
ning to stay in the teaching pro
fession because he likes it, Hen
iford told his listeners that the
economic side of the picture is
forcing him to go north where
he can make "more than sub
sistence." This will be his last
year in the Tabor City schools,
Heniford said.
Pointing to the fact that the
Tabor schools are well staffed
at present, Heniford declared
that it probably will not be long
—maybe this year—before Su
perintendent Pinner will have to
get out and scour the woods for
teachers to fill certain positions
whether they are well trained or
not.
The speaker said that Pinner
enjoys 100 per cent cooperation .
from his present teaching staff
and that "if you people can hang
onto some of the good people
you have teaching here, you're
going to have a good school."
However, he pointed out, a
$1,500 salary is inadequate for
him and soon others may be for
ced to take the step he is in
seeking a job that offers more
economic security.
The teacher declared that the
local schools have long had the
support of the townspeople and
expressed the opinion that steps
taken to improve the schools
further are up to the people
themselves. y
W. W. Woody, program chair
man, introduced Heniford.
Highway Patrolman Allen,
Merchants Executive Secretary
Hubert Davis and Horace Bul
lock of Chadbourn were guests.
Reece Burroughs and Richard
Gordon were welcomed as new
members.
Reynolds And Town Make Settlement
The long-standing dispute be-;
tween the Tabor City town
board and Engineer R. E. (Pete) ι
Reynolds was settled last week ι
when Reynolds accepted an of
I fer made by the town of pay-!
ment of $1,700 for completion of;
plans and specifications for three ι
projects—water, sewer and '
I streets.
Reynolds had turned down
the offer at a meeting of the
town board Wednesdan night
but accepted - Thursday after a
different method of payment
ι of the $1,700 was agreed upon,
i Originally, the town had of
fered one hall' of the $1,700 upon I
completion of the sewer project 1
und the other half upon com· ;
pletion of the street project. i
The revised method of pay-!
ment is one-third upon comple
tion of the water project (which
is already finished) and one
third upon completion of each
of the other two projects.
The $1,700 was half of the
amount which Reynolds claims
was due under contracts between .
the town -and the firm of Euts
ler and Reynolds.
■ The town, on the other hand,
claims that the contracts had
been voided and that in making
he agreement wun neynoms
or completion of the projects
tn entirely new contract is be
ng entered into.
The three project« lor which
Reynolds is preparing ρ Uns
end specification* are a part of !
a Federal Works Agency pro
gram is which towns are fur
nished long-range plana lor
civic improvements without
immediate outlay ol cash.
The engineers are paid with
funds advanced from the Fed
»ral Government and the money
is not to be repaid until the
town actually starts work on
the projects,

Starting pitchers this year will 'J

rred Soles. Fipps and Soles, ν
vhen not on the mound, play
iecond and short respectively.
Sill White is a candidate for the
nound staff along with Jennis
rurbeville this year. Earl Stan
ey, regular third baseman who
ilso did some hurling last year,
nay see some action as a relief

last year «Ü« very capable
receiver. Fowler'· understudy
is his brother Lloyd, who
shows great promise as · cat·
eher» Orbin is starting his
third year as a catcher. He has
a good arm and is a good hit
ter.
First base will be neia aown
by Sam Jackson, a regular from
last year. Sam is a fair fielder
and hitter. Bill White will be
Jackson's understudy.
Second base will be a weak
spot when Fipps is on the mound.
Although it's highly possible
that Burmie Stevens or Andy
Jernigan could develop into the
man for the job when Fipps is
in the box. Fipps is a good
fielder and a consistent hitter.
He is the fastest man on the
tc%n and a constant terror on
the base paths.
Shortstop will be well taken
care of by rtttrtn Fred Soles,
who evidently knows his way
around the short field due to
tha fact he had a chance to
sign with the Wilmington Pi·
rates of the Tobacco State Lea
gue. Soles turned down the ,
offer to hold his amateur stat
us. Fried Is a good fielder
and the heaviest hitter on the
team. Maxie Watts is also
working out in the shortstop
position.
Third base will find Earl Stan
ley holding down the well
known hot corner. Stanley was
a regular last season, a good
fielder and his hitting improved
considerably last summer. This
year Earl should be one of the
leading sluggers on the team.
Ben Elliott is also a candidate
for third.
In left field will be Harold
Ward, a holdover from last year,
a good fielder and a fair hitter.
Center field will be patrolled by
Ford Fowler, who can pull down
a long hit ball, and when he
connects at the plate, hits a long
ball. Right field will be patrol
led by Drew Mills, another reg
ular from last year's squad.
Last but not least are Mana
gers Bill Rogers and Marion
Baxter.
