Barbour of the N. C. Department of Conservation and Development and by Richard C. Dynes, chief of the Local Division of Industrial Development and Planning of Virginia. Unless counties bordering the Gaston reservoir?containing 350 miles of shoreline and stretching from the foot of the Roanoke Rapids Lake to the mammouth John H.

( The completion of this pro- i posed sidewalk would provide , a sidewalk on all sides of the court square, and the commiesioners agreed, would help ' traffic flow and parking as j well as protect the courthouse , lawn and be a convenience to J pedestrians. The commissioners agreed ( that if the county would pro- , vide the materials, estimated , at some $400, the town would , provide the labor and supervision of the proposed walk. This, they said, would bring the town's contribution to about one-half of the total cost. Action of the- board was taken at the request of a committee from the Warrenton Oarden Club which is now engaged in beautifying the court square through ! a free, shrubbery and grasa planting project. The commiaalonere also j agreed to provide two free parking apacee for the book- ! mobile on west Market (treat, in order that the vehicle may not be forced to park on the court aqua re immediately back of the library.

Dr. Holt told the patrons that Warrenton and Macon would enter into such a consolidation plan and invited Afton-Elberon to join in the program. Meeting at Warrenton on the same night the Warren County Board of Education tabled consideration of the plan until reports of action at Afton-Elberon and Macon could be received. In the event the plan goes through the board of education would be charged with the renovation of the Macon school building. At Macon the PTA gave "an enthusiatic endorsement" to a plan which will send the pupils of its first six grades to Warrenton and pave the way for establishing a junior high school in Macon this year. The largest attendance of the year was present at the meeting. W. R. Drake, trustee and member of the local school executive committee, gave a detailed explanation of the plan. He pointed out that the seventh and eighth grades were moved into John Graham School last fall to facilitate an experimental junior high program. He said that results of this experiment, plus the fact that moving the first six grades this year would eliminate all combination grades, "has convinced parents and teachers that a great forward advancement was made in the consolidation of two districts" Drake said that according to present plans, shuttle busses will operate between Warrenton and Macon to transport junior high students. There would be no change, he said, in their schedule for leaving ' , and arriving home. Following Drake's explanation, the Macon PTA adopted the following resolution and ordered that it be conveyed to the chairman of the Board of Trustees, the County School Superintendent and The Warren Refcord: "TTrv^n j wpvtt lilvilUll UU1J 11MMV and unanimously adopted, the Macon Parent-Teacher Asoosli tion, in regular minting this thirteenth day of March, 1M1, does hereby unanimously and enthusiastically endorse plane of the Executive Committee of District No. 1 to establish a Junior High School at Macon and to eliminate all combination gradee in the ptmunt Macon Elementary School by transporting these pupils to the Miriam Boyd and John Graham Schools in Warrenton.
