) yield right-of-way, and not with
drunk driving and leaving the

In The Warren Record, issue

freak accident that could not
be detected by the proofreader.

Discharge
Of Byers
Requested
Many patrons are dissatisfied
with the operation of John R.
I Hawkins Negro High School at
iWarrenton. the Warren County
Board of Education was told at
its regular meeting on Monday
night.
Some 20 members of the exe
cutive committee of theNAACP
appeared before the Board of
Education to voice their dis
satisfaction and to request the
i removal of J. E. Byers as prlnc
j ipal from the position he has
held for the past ten years or
more.
The meeting was held in the
Grand Jury Room of the court
house and lasted for about an
hour. The NAACP group was
, headed by Ernest Turner, pres
ident.
The complaints of the com
mittee had been placed in writ
ing in the Grand Jury room,
j But board chairman E. R. Davis
] that they had read the com
: plaints only a few minutes be
j fore and had not had time to
I give it proper study.
The delegation with John Ellis
and Mrs. Ro.bert Ransom act
ing as chief spokesman, with
others adding their comments,
alleged that Principal Byers,
due to his arrogant manner and
dictatorship, had alienated the
support of the patrons, and had
made it impossible for John
| R. Hawkins to obtain qualified
teachers.
Mrs. Ransom charged that his
practices towards both teachers
and patrons were those of a
dictator; that his attitude had
made it impossible to maintain
an effective PTA, and that his
control of his teachers was
tryannlcal. "No teacher," she
said, "Is allowed to call upon
the parent of a child until she
has received the permission of
the principal. They are told
where they must stay, and for
bidden to have a key to the house
where they stay. They are
afraid to teach because they do
not know when a remark heard
over the Intercom system may
result in a call to the principal's'
office and a lecture."
As a result of this, Mrs. Ran
som said, the school has obtain
ed a black-eye among teaching
institutions and teachers are
warned against teaching in War
ren County. Not only has Byer's
conduct. Mrs. Ransom said,
