Seek To Put
Pressure ft, Court
A group of some 450 to 500
school patrons will attempt to
bring pressure on the courts
to take action supporting the
Warrenton and Littleton special
school district when Warren
County schools open next
week according to plans made
at a meeting at the Shadow
Club in Norlina on Thursday
night of last week.
The Warrenton school unit
and the Littleton-Lake Gaston
school unit, separate from the
Warren , County system and
created by special acts of the
last General Assembly, were
placed under an injunction by
U. S. District Judge Algernon
L. Butler of Clinton.
The group, called Citizens
for Better Education." decided
to use a method of "confron
tation," which one member said
was "designed to bring pres
sure on the courts to take ac
tion supporting the districts."
According to an official of the
organization, students who had
been assigned to the Warrenton
school district and the Little
ton-Lake Gaston district before
the court injunction will go to
the schools to which they were
assigned in the special districts
and will remain at the schools
the number of hours required
under state law.
A spokesman said that at
least 90 per cent of the par
ents present t the meeting have
children who nad been assigned
to the new school districts. He
said a large number of their
children already had paid fees
to attend schools in the new se
parate districts.
Total Integration
In addition to the injunction,
an order also was signed by
Judge John Larklns of Trenton
and Judge Butler directing the
schools of Warren County to
abide by a total integration
plan the county submitted
last December.
An organization spokesman
said four suggestions were
presented by the Citizens for
Better Education Board at the
Tuesday night meeting.
The first was to send children
to schools in the Warren Coun
ty system.
A second suggestion was to
send them to a private school.
A third was a boycott pro
posal.
The first three were ditched
tor the confrontation plan that
was adopted.
Private Academy
The group was told that the
Warrenton Academy, Inc.,
which opened Sept. 15, already
has 120 students enrolled and
more are expected.
Macon Wemyss of Norlina, an
ABC store employee, is presi
dent of the citizens' organiza
tion and presided at the Thurs
day night session. Bill Reid
of Littleton is vice president,
the Rev. Ray Ward is treasurer
and Mrs. A. J. Bobbitt of
Norlina is secretary.

'Txtixm.frail:
Words cannot express my
thanks to you and your friend
for your help following my acci
dent on July 5. I hope you
realize just how grateful I am
for your kind help, without which
1 don't know what would have
happened. Your wonderful help
in such in efficient manner and
in the quickest time possible
saved me from much suffer
ing.
I was transferred to the Rich
mond Memorial Hospital on
July 7 where 1 remained until
July 16. I then went home on
crutches and I have been doing
well ever since. My leg is still
in the cast due to the broken
ankle and it will remain in
the cast for another four to
six weeks. 1 can really hobble
around on my crutches. My ribs
have all healed. The onlv sore
ness I have is where the breast
bone was broken and that. too. is
coming along fine.
1 am enclosing a check as a
contribution to your capable
volunteer Rescue Squad. It is
little compared with the help
you rendered to me but 1 hope
it will be oi some use.
As soon as 1 can drive again,
I will be down your way and I
will certainly call on you.
Please read this letter to
your squad at your next meeting.
My thanks again for a real
friend when 1 really needed
one and with all good wishes,
1 am,
Sincerely yours,
