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, (Continued on page 8) 16.

C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2 TWO HILLED |T 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.

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 (Continued on Page 8) Senior Play To Be Given Next Week The senior play of the John Graham High School will be presented in the auditorium on Friday night, March 6, at 8 o'clock.

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.
