In a letter to the principals of all the schools of the county, Superintendent Allen calls attention to the ruling of the State Commission aud stresses the importance of maintaining a high average daily attendance. His letter follows: "I am in receipt of some let;ors from the State School Commission, the substance of which is that the State salary scale for teachers will require more money than was expected and the State School Commission does not see right now how it will be possible for the state to operate the full eight months term in every school and pay full salaries to the end. The Commission r.nereiore is urging swiei etuuuimca in every line in order to prevent the cutting off of some part of the salary of each teacher for the last month. "The Commission has adopted a rule reading as follows: " The Commission at its last meeting adopted the following resolutions: Be it resolved by the State School Commission, pursuant to the authority of Section 3 of the School Machinery Act of 1933, that all schools in the State System be operated for a period of eight months, where such eight-months' (Continued on Page 8) Kidd's Barbershop At Henderson Burns The Central Barber Shop of Henderson, owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Kidd of Warrenton, was one of the four business firms wiped out when the O'Neil building was destroyed by fire of undetermined orign early Tuesday morning. The fire, said to have been one of the worst to ever occur in Henderson, caused damages estimated at from $50,000 to $75,000. The destroyed proijerty was partially Insured. Mr. Kidd said yesterday that the fire caused him damages of around $2500 but that his property was fully covered by insurance. He expressed the opinion that he would not reopen for business in Henderson until a new building was erected by O'Neil & Sons. It is understood here that the O'Neils suffered a loss of around $10,000 in excess of that which was covered by Insurance. The fire began in the Central Shoe Shop and spread to Mitchell's ready-to-wear store, the Central Barber Shop and the O'Neil Hardware company. During the fire, an explosion which firemen said was caused by combustion rolled back the tin roof of the two-story building and blew out one wall toward the postoffice. Telephone and electric service in the area went out temporarily as cables and poles were cut or fell as the wall blew out. Stores And Bank To Close Monday The bank and stores at Warrenton will be closed on Monday in observance of the Easter holiday.
