i Officials Considering pian
x0 Make Up Time Lost
Due To Bad Roads
15 not yet decided
I stfi'ok in Warren county may
03f:ate oil alternate Saturdays to
ES-e up the time that has been
I 'f t this year due to bad weather.
I' Whether or not the six-day
I schedule is put into effect depends
I ipon the district committees.
In a letter to all principals yes
.war. Cour.iy Supt. J. Edward
^ a -f
I Sen' points out that tne .tsoaru ui
Education is empowered to grant
permission to operate on Saturday
and says that the system will pern-It
teaching at this time provided
jj j$ done on alternate Saturdays.
' His letter states:
I -Referring to the matter of makI
jr.? up lost time in our schools by
I teaching' on Saturday, let me adIH
rise you that this can be done if
I found necessary. The Public School
IL3W of 1935 anticipates that the
I Beat" of Education shall be emI
powered to grant permission for
I tiis purpose, and it can be done
I then it approved by the District
I committee.
-In a system wliicu is entirely
I dependent upon transportation,
IT this will give rise to some problems
I which will have to be solved by
I systematic planning, and I invite
you to assist in this. For instance,
each bus driver will be paid for 160
working days and no more?eight
months at the state rate of pay of
58.50. and the state will not provide
anymore for any of them. The
county drivers' supplement fund
*3 not permit the county to do
rhon fniimr the state. This
t-uic l"?" ??
I means that there will have to be
I teaching on certain Saturdays and
not on certain other Saturdays.
Moreover, the shop will have to be
fept open on the days on which
teaching is done.
And again, this system will permit
teaching on Saturdays with the
understanding that it shall be done
i only on alternate Saturdays. No
1 teacher will teach six days in any
I tir: weeks in succession, nor oe
pax ior such teaching.
Therefore, remembering that the
Easter week end comes on April
11-12, I suggest that we set up a
schedule something like this to go
by:
"Teaching will be done if desired,
on March 7, 21; April 4, 18; May 2,

AUTO ACCIDENT
Another Dies In Hospital;
Maryland Car Crashes
Into Abutment
TWO OTHERS INJURED
Two persons were killed instantly,
another was fatally injured, and
two otiiers were cut and bruised
when a Maryland automobile containing
a family of five and a dog,
which was also killed, crashed into
an abutment at Double Bridges,
near the North Carolina-Virginia
state line on Sunday morning about
12:30 o'clock. ..
The aead are Mr, and Mrs. H
B. Dodge, Sr., of f'^rt Meade, Md.,
anil tneir 5-year-old granddaugnter,
Eloise Bell. Their daughter,
? it? ?n? ht 1 orr ; i

broken arm and minor cuts, and
H. B. Dodge, Jr., 16, was cut about
the face.
Following the accident the bodies
of the dead woman and child were
brought to the Allen Funeral Parlors
in Warrenton and the three
injured persons were carried to
Maria Paiham Hospital, Henderson,
where the senior Mr. Dodge,
who was operating the car, died
Sunday afternoon from head
wounds and internal injuries. H. B.
Dodge, Jr. has been released from
the hospital and his sister is expected
to recover.
Speed and slippery roads are
thought to have been responsible
for the accident, termed by Coroner
Jasper Shearin as "the worst
car wreck I have ever seen." The
coroner stated that his investigation
revealed that as the car started
around a curve in the road it
skidded and crashed into a post
on the right side of the highway,
then careened to the left side of
the road where it struck another
pole and then slammed into the
abutment of the bridge. He said
that the car was evident# traveling
between 50 and 60 miles an
hour when it left the roadbed.
The lack of caution, the coroner
stated, was probably due to unfamiliarity
with roads conditions. He
said there was no snow and ice on
the Virginia side of the line and
that the driver was probably unprepared
for the slippery road he
struck just after crossing the line
into North Carolina. The road on
this side of the line, he said, was

of North Carolina Extension
Division for an exhibition in the

on the work of Eleonora
Kissel's flower paintings gave a;
true insight in saying, "They are [
a compromise between naturalism
and artistic design in that they appeal
to both the botonist and art,
lover." The five landscape paintings
to be included in this exhibi
tion give a peep into the colorful,
landscape in New Mexico. The entire
group is modern, most pleasing
and very refreshing.

40 CONTROL FOR
TOBACCO CHOP
ieorgia Prove* Unwilling
To Enter Compact Between
Tobacco States
IEED LOAN GIVEN VETO
Present indications are there will
e no government action to control
ae 1936 crop of tobacco and that
irmers will not be able to turn to
'ncle Sam for money to finance
aeir crops this year.
Hope of control through a cornact
bill virtually died early in the
reek when a conference of tobacco
tate officials met in Washington
nd it was made known, following
stormy session of the committee,
bat there was no chance of
Georgia entering the proposed
ompact this year.
The proposed bill required that
Irginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia become memers
of the compact before it
uuiu ucvuuic uyciouvc aval liuoured
tobacco, and the memberhip
of Kentucky and Tennessee
efore it would become operative
or burley or dark-fired tobacco.
Georgia's failure to enter the
greement seems to have been,
aused by unwillingness on the
iart of Governor Eugene Talmadge
>f that state to call a special sesion
of the Georgia legislature for
my purpose. It also appeared
rom newspaper accounts of the
Vashington meeting that Governor
Ihringhaus was not over anxious
o call a special session in North
Carolina.
Governor Ehringhaus expressed
he opinion 1937 would be the
:arliest a compact proposal could

The Warren Record was in error
when it stated last week that the
driving license of Macey Taylor of
Littleton was revoked when be was
found guilty in Recorder's court on
a charge of reckless driving. The

was delivered up," but investigation
at the clerk's office this week revealed
that bis license was later

conviction of reckless driving had
been registered thereon. This newspaper
took the court's phraseology
