COUNTY OF WARRRN n r rtnm a v tttt v aaao School Board Members Explain Bond Issue In Letter To Taxpayers J. Rodger Peeler, superin tendent of Warren County Schools, was the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Afton-Elberon Ruritan Club on Tuesday night. Pinch-hitting for Board ot Education Member Dr. Sam H. Massey, Jr., Peeler discussed the $400,000 school bond issue, told the members why it was called and how the money would be spent if the bond issue is approved by the voters. He told of the county's ef fort to eliminate small Negro schools in the county, and how part of the proposed bond is sue would be used for this purpose, and showed pictures of the small schools. Following the showing of the pictures. Peeler invited ques tions from the Ruritans, sev eral of whom expressed them selves as being in favor of the bond issue. Peeler's talk was a part of the campaign of information on the bond issue being spon sored by the Board of Educa tion whose members are ac tively supporting the bond is sue. Working under the chair manship of Dr. Sam Massey, the board members as a com mitee last week sent out let ters to a large number of War ren County voters asking sup port of the bond issue, and telling of the needs for its passage. In an enclosure tell ing "why the County Board of Education supports a bond is sue for Negro schoolhouse construction," the members told of the needs for a consol idated Negro schol, its costs, reasons for its construction, and other needs of the schools. The information in the bulle tin is as follows: We believe in "separate, but equal." schools for the races; and although much progress has been made in our Negro schools during the past ten years, a gross inequality still exists in the operation of nine small Negro schools which are housed in old frame buildings, use "pot bellied" stoves, out Joor water pumps and privies. Several of these schools have ;hree grades per teacher; one school has four grades for one teacher. The boycott of the Snow Hill School last fall and the subsequent transfer of the pupils to the Hawkins School caused an overcrowded situa tion here. No further transfer pf pupils to Hawkins is possi ble. The Haliwa School is a 10 teacher school housed in a frame building of very poor construction. It has "pot bel lied" stoves and outdoor type privies. All classrooms are substandard in size and arc overcrowded. The Board of Education leases the Haliwa School property from the Hal iwa Indian Club. The nine small Negro schools are as follows, with the name of the school, the num ber of grades, the number of teachers and the number of pupils, respectively, listed: Afton?1-6, 2, 52; Axtell Special?1-6, 2, 47; Bethlehem -1-4, 1, 32; Burchett Chapel? 1-5, 3, 102; Coley Spring?1-7, 3, 102; Cool Spring?1-7, 3, 85; Hecks Grove?1-7, 5, 163: Mayflower?1-6, 2, 50; Stoney Lawn?1-7, 3, 99. The Health Department has informed us that all but one of the wells are contaminated. If they are to be used in the future expenditures of eonsid erable extent will have to be made. The County Board of Educa tion proposes to use the pro ceeds of the bonds in the fol lowing manner: 1. To build an elementary school in the southern section of the county to consolidate Afton, Axtell Special, Coley Springs, Cool Springs, May flower and Stony Lawn schools. This new school would cost approximately $200,000. 2. To add four or five class rooms to the Northside School to consolidate Burchett Chapel School. This addition would cost $40,000 to $50,000. (The two mobile classrooms now lo cated at Northside would prob (See SCHOOS, page 10) Blocks Donated For JG School Bleachers Funds for more than 3600 cement blocks for the building of permanent bleachers at John Graham High Schol Ath lectic Field have been donated by local citizens and business 1-buses, Peyton B.

HAITIICOCK, who retired from the highest job in Warren County at the end of this year's fire season, on Monday stood on the steps of the fire tower which she had climbed for 17 years for this picture. (Staff Photo) Mrs.E.D. Haithcock Ends Tower Service Wilbur R. Davis, Fores ranger for Warren County, thi: week announced the retire ment of Mrs. Bessie H. Haith cock as lookout at the fin tower near Liberia, When th< new season begins next Tall some other person will servt "as the eyes of the Fores Service," he said. Davis said that since 194J Mrs. llaithcock had kept watcl over the county for smokes and when in her opinion a smoke needed checking she had at her disposal two pick up trucks furnished by the Forest Service to go to any part of the county. The trucks are connected to the tower by two-way radios. Mrs Haithcock is believed to be the first woman to operate Forest Service fore tower in the state, although now most of the towers are operated by women, Davis said. The tower was built in 1932 and Mrs. Haithcock's husband, the late E. D. Haithcock, was its first lookout. Following his death in December, 1940, the tower was operated in turn by Eddie Ellington, Lawrence Rob ertson and David Hight. Mrs. Haithcock began her duties in 1945 and completed them in June of this year. The watch tower was built on one of the highest spots of ground in Warren County and from its top one commands a 11 view of the county. But its 3: location and its steel tower " lend themselves to high winds ? j and violent electric storms. !)Mrs Hai.thcock remembers ! I both. Sitting on the porch of > j her home this week, she re !i called Hurricane Haiel. _ yM [ though it blew down her stable | and ripped the roof from her i! home, she said that she was ijnot frightened. But bad elec > | trical storms are another mat i ] ter. j The lower is struck almost ! every time there is a bad elec I trical storm in the vicinity, ; Mrs. Haithcock said, but the ? tower is grounded and usually ' I no harm results. But she rg I called once when the lightning i; jumped from the tower to II wires leading into her home, 11 burning out electrical appli ; ances, and severing wires. "I 11 was truly frightened then," she j said. At another time a storm put out all the lights in her home and put the telephone out of commission. Mrs. Haith cock was alone at the time and was unable to call anyone dur ing the night. "That was a nerve racking experience," she said. But storms were only a part of her experience, and remem bered with them are the years of service and the part she played in reducing fire losses j during the 17 years she served as the eyes of Warren County.
