The projiosal submitted bv Kenneth Haddock, urepresen Talive of the V, S. Office of Education, was that the oper ation of the Littleton school be continued with students from Itoth Halifax and War ren Counties, and that the Haliwa Indian School would continue to operate its elementary school but stu dents would have to go to other high schools in their respective counties. This information was re leased to the press by Rep. L. H. Fountain in a telegram received on Tuesday, rountain has been working closely with school authorities in trying to work out snags that have de veloped between local school authorities and the Office of Educat ion. Members of the Board of Education in rejecting the pro posal said they felt that fur ther effort should be made to keep the Haliwa High School in operation. They instructed Supt. J. Roger Peeler to again contact Haddock to ascertain tf this could be done. Action of the I'nited States Office of Education in permit ting the operation of the Lit tleton school and the Haliwa elementary school was in the nature of a compromise work ed out between local school authorities and the federal office. Part of Warren County's troubles in regards to the two schools arose when it was ruled that students from Hali fax County would no longer be permitted to cross the county line into Warren Schools. A good portion of Littleton's stu dents are from Halifax Coun ty. The Warren County Board of Education for sometime considered building a high school in Warren County near Hollister for Haliwa students (See SCHOOLS, page 2) Little League Ball Team Planned Here Efforts are being made In Warrenton to organize an Of ficial Little League Baseball Program affiliated with the National Little League of Wil llamsport, Pa., the Rev. Ted Wilson said yesterday. Letters of inquiry and ap plication for a charter have been applied for, he said, and the process of determining if Warrenton can meet the re quirements for national af filiation is being made. Mr. Wilson, who has had some five years experience with National Little League Baseball, is making the sur vey at the "persistent insis tence" of several young aspir ants. He said that the basic mini mum requirements would be approximately 60 boys ages 8 through 12. August ltsthede terminlng date each year for birthdays. These boys can come from the John Graham JSchQol jyst rtct and would not | be confined to Warrenton alone. Adult leadership would in clude four coaches, two um pires, plus the adult organi zation of president, vice prea ident, secretary and trea surer. There must be four teams of 15 each and each team would need a sponsor ing organization such as civic club. Locally the four teams play an 18-game schedule for the pennant and then an all star team Is chosen from the four teams to represent War renton In the district playoffs. Mr. Wilson said that Na tional Little League offers many advantages, the ultimate being the possibility of World Series play In September. A field must be secured and maintained according to Little League specifications. Mr. Wilson said that of course fi nances are Involved and the initial investment may seem a little high but after the program gets underway it will be small compared to the number of boys Involved. Ap plication tor participation may be secured from Beoton fur niture/ company. Mr. Wilton also said thM a number of adults have already voiced enthusiasm and offer ed support In the program and that he believes that It can i | ceed in Warranted.
