FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1961 NUMBER 351 Mart Has Fine Opening, Afton-E. School Patrons Full Sale, Good Quality Estimated Aver&ge 66c The Warren Tobacco Market, had one of its best openings- in . the history of the market on Thursday morning with all ] houses full of tobacco, mostly of good quality, and averages the highest in the history of the market. ~ : ~? The?average, not?computed at press time yesterday after noon, is estimated to be ap proxicately' 66 cents a pound. A tabulation of 100 piles of tobacco selected at random over the Centre Warehouse floor, where the first sale was held at 8:45, showed ah aver age price of ,65.87, with 72c being the top price. Experi ence has shown that such sampling is amazingly close to the final tabulations. Farmers were jubilant and j Warehousemen were highly pleased as pile after pile of tobacco hit the 72 cents mark and even common grades were bridging double the price of only a few years ago. Customer satisfaction was per haps accurately expressed in an overheard remark of one i colored woman who said, "We should?hurry?home?and?get, some more ready to sell." Of the 100 piles of tobacco sampled more than half sold for 70c or better, and 38 piles of the 100 reached the top price of 72 cents a pound. The ! average was pulled down by some common tobacco, but this sold surprisingly well and no turned tickets were in evi dence. Edgar Wood, sales super-j i visor, said yesterday that sales ! would begin on the market at 8:45 o'clock each morning.

Aotion of the pupils in not reporting for school followed a meeting of the school pa trons on Monday night when it was decided that this action should be taken as a protest of the physical condition of the school.

Nineteen of sue! schools have been consolidated during the past four years in Peeler Suggests Bond Issue At Rotary Meeting J. Rodger Peeler, superinten dent of Warren County Schools, told members of the Warrenton Lions Club here Friday night that he believed a $300,000 bond issue Js needed to put Warren County schools in good shape. He said that he believes that this size bond issue can be retired without any increase in the tax rate. Peeler, guest speaker, was presented by Nat White, who was in charge of the program. He discussed conditions of the schools and the physical needs of the school. Peeler explained that his belief that the bond issue-Could be retired without any increase in the tax rate was based on the fact that funds for interest on and re tirement of the bond would re place a present capital outlay tax. Except for the buildings, Supt Peeler said that he feels that Warren County schools are doing a good Job and com pare favorably with schools in jurroundlng counties. He also spoke of the improvement in both the curricula and in the quality of the teachers.

Rodger Peeler has heen superintendent of schools, and the board has been striv ing for several months to work out some feasible plan to build another consolidated school in the Southern part of the coun | ty and the final elimination of this type school. So far their efforts have not been success ful although the study is con tinuing. 1^ Malvin Tunstall, a patron of the school, said Wednesday afternoon that the patrons had decided at a meeting Monday night to boycott the school in the hope that some relief would be granted. Tunstall, past president of the PTA and chairman of a committee for better schools, said that only three pupils out of some 60 enrolled appeared at the Snow Hill school Wed nesday morning. He said that the school was operated by two teachers, with three grades, to the teacher. The' reason given for the boycott at this time, Tunstall said, is that the I|oard of Edu cation has not given the relief they petitioned for earlier in the year. At their meeting on Monday night, Supt. Peeler and Board members, said they had no comments to make on the boy cotting of the school. Tunstall was a member of a delegation of Negro school patrons appearing before the board of education at a' hear ing in the court room on May 15 to ask for further consoli dation of the small Negro schools. Tunstall said that he did not speak at this meeting [ because the ground was pretty j well covered by other speak ers. Superintendent Peeler and the Board members told the f group that a large number of j these schools had already been consolidated and that a con solidated school would be built! in the southern part of the I I county as quick as money could ] , be obtained. Money is already | being accumlated for this pur-' 'pose hy the county commission-! ers through an annual levy, ( the delegation was told.
