Instead, the Warren, Board of Education voted [Monday night, they will con ] jtinue to get some help from schoolmates. Board members were unani mous in ruling that a rate in crease in school insurance be spreadly evenly over the en | tire student body in each school in which pupils engage : in high school interscholastic football. j Announcement Monday' t night that insurance prem iums in white schools in the county would jump from $1.50 per student to $2.00 caught board members by surprise, but members agreed that stu dent spectators should pay the same rate as student players. This has been the policy adopted during the past few years. Dr. S. H. Massey of War renton said it did not seem fair to make a boy pay $15 or more each year to play football, when fellow students derive much enjoyment from watching the contests. Other members were of the same opinion, and voted to dis tribute the cost. L. E. Taylor, insurance agent for the Walker Agency, Inc., of Charlotte, told mem bers that no rate increase in which school insurance would be forthcoming if football players were offered separate policies at considerably higher costs than the standard pol icy. He said the increase was the first for Warren County "in about four years,' and that the hike- was caused by an increased number of claims during tlie past school year. Insurance premiums in the county's Negro schools, where football is either not played or where students take out separate policies, will rise from SI 25 to $1.50, the agent ' announced. In other action taken by the board, the transfer of eight Negro elementary stu dents to John R. Hawkins High School here was approv ed, but the board took no ac tion on a request from Hali fax County that seven Haliwa students be. assigned to the Haliwa School near Areola. Members instructed Superin tendent of Schools J. R. Peeler to inform the Halifax superintendent that the stu dents will be taken provided space can be provided.
