Warrenton's first laundrymat

I here in early fall, V E. Hedrick
of Henderson said here
Wednesday.
Work on the 30 x 50 con-'
crete buildmg is now under-'

I the main 30 x 50 building a I

that an addition can readily
be added should increased
business justify expansion.
Hedrick, who is president of I
Greystone Products Corporation
of Henderson and who
is also the owner of a
laundrymat at Oxford, said that
he was unable to say just when
the building will be completed,
due to the fact that he was using
a building crew from the
Greystone Products Co. which
will work on his building during
slack periods this summer.
He said, however, that he expected
to be in operation here
seven days a week beginning
in the early fall.
The laundrymat. Hedrick
said, will consist of 4 single
and 16 double-load units. It is
expected that the laundrymat
will be operated by two em-1
ployees.

Amos L. Capps, chairman of
the Board of Commissioners,
said Wednesday that the reason
the county leased the
building with an option to buy,
instead of making an outright
purchase, was to allow the Legislature
time to pass a special
act enabling the county to
make a special levy for building
purchase funds, should
other funds not be available
before the expiration of the
lease. It is possible, he said,
that such act would be passed
in a special session mis summer

Teachers As
Warren Goi
Eight extra teachers assigned
to Warren County under
the Sanford school program
were assigned to Warren County
schools by the Board of
Education at its meeting on
Monday night.
The board also solved a
seemingly impasse over the request
of three white high
schools for one of the two
white teachers assigned to the
county by agreeing to pay the
salary of a third teacher.
Under the state plan one
teacher was assigned to the
county for each 20 teachers in
the system. Warren County
with 59 white teachers, missed
being assigned three teachers
by one, and only was assigned
two additional teachers.
Each of the three white high
schools requested that one of
these teachers be assigned to
their school.
Mifekine the ranueet were
Kenneth Severance and Bobby
Clark for tho Norllna school,
W. R. Drake for tbo John
Craham school, and Principal
L. C. Robinson for the Littleton
school.
CoaapUcattag any decision on
the part of the board was the

for the ASC office and other
governmental agencies which
have outgrown their quarters
in the Agricultural Building,
Capps said. The main reason
for the purchase at this time, i
he said, is that the county
needs more room near the
courthouse, and the commissioners
decided that it would
be well to purchase the lot
when it was available.
Capps said that he did not
know presently what the bouse
now occupying the lot would
be used for. There is some possibility
that it may be remodeled,
if feasable, instead of
constructing a new building.
The county has the privilege
of demolishing the building, or

inty Schools
Graham's teacher load was
0.9 less at 30.1, but as Drake
pointed out John Graham was
the only white school in the
county which qualified under
the state formula for an extra
teacher as it had more than
20 teachers in its system. He
said that one extra teacher
would enable the John Graham
school to eliminate all combination
grades, a goal towards
which the local school administration
has been working for
years.
The board members agreed
that each school had a legitimate
claim for one of the
teachers, but that it was obviously
impossible to assign
two teachers to three schools.
The assignment of the six
Negro teachers offered no prob
-nrm to -nre- ooara. ? was
agreed that two of these extra
teachers should he assigned

Snow Hill school is situated
ibout two and a half miles
from Warrenton on the Warrenton-Kidgeway
road. When
[he new school is completed In
the southern part of the county,
the board of education
members said during the
discussion concerning a new
building. Snow Hill children
will be transferred to Hawkins
High School, and a number of
pupils now attending Hawkins
from the southern part of the
rocnty, will be transferred to
the new school.
A request that four children
who attended a Negro school
last year be transferred to the
Ilaliwa Indian School at Bethlehem,
was denied because of
crowded conditions in the Haliwa
school.
The board also denied the
transfer of two children from
the Afton-Elberon school to a
Vance County school on the
ground that their request for
assignment was presented too
late.
The board also denied a request
that the son of Stephen
Daniel be allowed to attend
school at John Graham High
School and ordered that he be
assigned to the Norlina school.
The board also approved the
lists of school bus drivers as
submitted by school principals,
and ordered a $25.00 a month
increase, from $250.00 to
$275.00 a month, for Mr*.
Frances Davis, a clerk, ale- .,
nographer in the office of
Supt. Peeler.
It was revealed that the
water bill last year at Hawkins
High School was in excess of
$1300. The board briefly discussed
the desirability of drilling
a well at the Hawkins
school, which now
buys water from the Town of
Warrenton, but action was
postponed until the August
meeting of the board.
Downy Mildew
Makes Appearance
In Cantaloup Area
Downy, Mildew has made its
appearance in the cantaloupe
area of Warren County.
Frank Reams, County Agent,
said yesterday that Dr. I?. H.
Person made a tour of the
cantaloupe area on Monday,
July 10, and found considerable
evidence of downy mildew.
To control downy mildew,
Reams said, dust the crop
every ten days or after every
rain with a dust containing
5% metallic copper derived
from basic copper sulphate at
the rate of 25 to 39 lbs. per .
acre.
Reams said that thorough
coverage of both leaf surfaces
is essential. Dust when the
air is quiet, he advised, and
use only hone or ir aster
drawn equipment or rotary M
hand dusters that give a good U
"fog" of dust
