Market C
Brings O]
Farmers, warehousemen and
business men were?jubilant over
the fine opening of the
Warren ton Tobacco Market on
Monday. Not in many years has
hnwn 1M]T(1 so much satisfaction
Oppressed here by many!
CjjtiljMg^ as on Monday and J
r I
The market had a block sale
but sold 311,894 pounds of tobacco
for an aberage of 55.89
^ cents per pound, and paid out
to farmers a total $174,321.51.
These are official figures as
compared with higher "estimated"
figures for some other
markets in Tuesday's dailynewspapers.
Few tickets were turned
during the day and very little
tobacco went into stabilization.
A veteran buyer said Tuesday
that he figures five per cent
or less went into Stabilization,
but cautioned that this was:
only an estimate. This is quite,
in contrast to sales on this
and other markets in recent I

a
Warren County schools began
a full-day schedule of
r work on Wednesday, following
registration on Tuesday, in
what Supt. of Schools Roger
Peeler yesterday decribed as a
most satisfactory opening of
schools.
Peeler said" that teachers
meetings were held on Monday
and registrations on Tuesday
and as a result teachers and
children were ready for a full
day's work on Wednesday, the
first official day of school.
This year the Warren County
school system for the first
time has a supervisor of libraries,
Miss Emma Lewis
Whitakers, as well as a new
school supervisor, Calvin C.
White.
Peeler said that the supervisors
would serve both white
and colored schools.
Calvin C. White, the new
school supervisor, is a native
of Louisburg. He has had experience
as a teacher, coach
and principal. He earned the
4 B.S degree at Wake Forest
College, and the Master of
Arts degree in administration
and supervision at East Carolina
College.
Peeler said the work of a
general school supervisor is
varied and useful. Perhaps, he
said, the primary function of
supervisions^ is the "improveinunt
n f tho tnioViinr/.lonrninrt
infill V/t IIIC IVaVlHUg-JVBI IU"b
situation." The following list
is indicative of the ways and
means by which improvement
may be made:
1. Becoming aware of the
needs of Warren county teach?
ers, pupils, and schools.
2. Visiting in the schools for
the purpose of evaluation, observation.
and improvement.
3. Helping teachers with
specified problems and needs.

July, followed by extreme heat
In August, much of the tobacco
was light, some of it was
trashy, but this tobacco brought
a good price. There was, however,
some good tobacco on
the floor that sold for around
70c a pound, some piles for ai
penny or two more, but 70c
was just about the top figure.
One farmer had a row long
ways on one ,-of t the tobacco
warehouses Ibat ^averaged 70c.
Taken as a'whole, the tobacco
was not^ of the quality offered
here during many years,
but the price was good, grade
for grade, and general satisfaction
has been expressed.
Much of the money turned
loose here Monday found its
way into trade, and merchants
generally are pleased with both
the price received by the farmers
for their tobacco and with
the business here on opening
day.

teachers that will help them
in their work.
5. Working with ore-school
eliiucs and beginner days.
6. Carrying out a countywide
program, such as the
Science Fair.
7. Giving assistance in the
county-wide testing program.
8. Assisting principals in the
instructional program as the
need arises.
9. Helping teachers in their
self-evaluation in order to improve
their practices.
10. Working with others to
constantly make the teaching
profession alert and worthwhile.
The duties of a supervisor involve
co-operative relationships
and democratic processes, Peel
er continued. His job will take
him over the county many
times, in and out of schools, to
meetings and conferences,
working with individuals and
groups. There will be much
planning in order that sound
actions and practices may follow.
Evaluations will be made,
and courses of action will be
chartered. "It is the aim of the
supervisor," Peeler concluded,
"that these teaching aids,
conferences, planning, and overall
view will result in happy
relationships with school people
and better educational opportunities
for th? ch'ldren "f
Warren County. It is apparent
that a good foundation has already
been laid for this accomplishment.
Much good work
has previously been done in
tats respect in?ottr- county."Miss

Thieves bored their way

night, lowered themselves into

Norlina police, left without
a clue to work on, called it "a

robbery "the best planned and

bored, one beside the other
until the section was cut loos<
