Town Getting Ready For Primary April 22; Discuss Hotel Report Discussion of the primary of April 22 at 8 o'clock in the Court House and the appointment of a registrar and judges of election for the May 7th town election, held brief attention of the board of commissioners on Tuesday evening. Other matters, with the exception of a brief hotel report, were mainly routine. Little opposition has been heard to any member of the present board, and unless an active campaign is waged indications are that the primary of April 22nd will be short-lived and without particular incident. The board, of course, did not go into the political phase 4-U/x winffor Knf iYto mounr nn- 1 vl tile inatvci) uuu vnv ***?.*j v* tified them that the primary had been called for that date by W. T.

Mr. Serls thought something skould be done about unsightly as well as unsanitary spots?even on private property?and the police officer was instructed to confer with Dr. Rodgers and act upon his recommendation in regard to any and all such places.

Citizens Asked To Give Clothing For Near East Relief Citizens of Warrenton are requested to make up as large a bundle of clothing as possible for relief of destitute persons in the Near East. These bundles should be placed on their front porches before noon on Wednesday, April 10, Mrs. L. B. Beddoe, local chairman, said yesterday. Clothing left on Bundle Day will be called for. While it is not feas - " f? -i-i-U! i.: j IDie 10 Call lor Ciuuimg uuuuue ui town, Mrs. Beddoe said yesterday that the committee would be pleased if others living outside the town who felt like contributing to this worth-while cause would send their bundles to Warrenton. "The orphan children and those whose parents are poor refugees in the Near Eastt need clothing," Mrs. Beddoe said. "Winters are very cold in Armenia, and even the summers are not very warm in the mountain regions. These children are thankful to receive any discarded clothing of American school children (except shoes, which are not needed) and their elders can use old clothing too, cast aside by the older citizens. School children of this State have in years past contributed generously so that thousands of the destitute in the Near East might have clothing. Now, on April 10, comes another Bundle Day. It will be the last one held by Near East Relief, we understand, so we hope our citizens will help to make this the greatest bundle day of all."

Y, APRIL 5, 1929 !; " ~ SCHOOLS1 Wm AFFECTED Authorities Believe There Will Be Little Change In Warren High-Schools HITS LITTLE SCHOOLS < ] Warren county high schools will . be but little affected by the new ] school law in the opinion of school 1 authorities at Warrentoij. Rumors that a drastic cut in number of teachers and possibly loss of high schools was declared to be without foundation by Superintendent J. Edward Allen yesterday. . Vocational departments will also be maintained it is believed. However, Mr. Allen said, "we ex- ' pect to find it impossible to maintain schools in which the number of pupils in average attendance 1 for one teacher is less than approximately 17; and if the aver- * age attendance for two teachers is 1 less than 35, one teacher only will be permitted, by the new school 1 law." j Four county elementary schools j will be affected, the Areola school with two teachers, and one-teacher schools at Oakville, Churchill and Grove Hill. The salaries of principals of high schools are only slightly changed; it is probable that the salary of a principal of an accredited Wgh school will be $200u, unless there are more than twelve teachers altogether. The law prohibits paying any bonuses or supplements, by county or districts, over 5 per cent of basal salary. Fatally Hurt In Motor Accident Mrs. W. H. Jenks, of Richmond, Va., was fatally injured and her husband suffered a fractured thigh when their automobile skidded on the wet pavement of route 50 a miles north of Norlina early Saturday afternoon and ran down an embankment, overturning and pinning them beeath it. Mrs. Jenks died in Mario Parham hospital Henderson, shortly after 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon and her husband is still in a critical condition.
