Plea Is Made For More Vocational Ed. Funding Pleading for stronger support of vocational subjects in Warren County schools and the need for more female participation in non-secretarial subjects, James Andrews, president of the Warren County Chapter of the NAACP, spoke briefly to the Board of Education at the conclusion of its meeting here Monday night. Andrews said that low salaries and low demand for secretaries suggested the need for more girls going into the fields of carpenters, painter;, auto mechanics, and similar fields heretofore largely reserved for males. The NAACP head said that he was pleased with the cooperation of the school administration and the growing good will between the white and black races. He said he hoped and believed that the days of the marches and demonstrations had passed as the races are entering a new day of working together. Andrews asked that the schools remain sensitive to the needs of his people and to continue the fine cooperation now existing between school board and people. There are a few sensitive issues remaining, he said, and he had heard some criticism of the board for suggesting that the president of the Warren Academy, whose children attended the all-white shcool, be selected as the board's attorney. He said he anticipated' no trouble but merely mentioned this as a very sensitive field among blacks. Andrews said his race would like to see more blacks working in the school administrative building. He said they do not ask that white assistants be requested to give up their jobs, but when a vacancy occurs to consider black replacement. Supt. Peeler responded to this part of Andrews remarks by pointing out that department heads in the administrative building had been employed for many years. He said that when a recent ESEA job became available it was not sought after and was only filled by a white teacher voluntering as a public service, and in that job, which is likely to be abolished, Mrs. Shirley White has made an outstanding record. Andrews said that he could understand this, but his people resented that usually no notice of vacancies was given in certain department of the county until they wre filled. This criticism, he said, was not directed to the board, but was mentioned as one field in which relations could be improved in the county. Also present for the meeting were Misses Mattie Arrington and Delbora Kearney, employees of HealthCo, and John J. Hawkins, chairman of the Warren County Republican Party, as observers. Hawkins spoke very briefly about the part that a good recreation program plays in the development of a county, and praised Norlina's program and thanked board member Leigh Traylor for making it possible. Chairman Ernest Turner said yesterday that he had invited the group to the board meeting in a desire to have more public participation in school affairs.

Norlina Game The huge thorn in the side of the Blue Waves Thursday night had to be Ronald Green. The senior hurler retired 15 Norlina batters, allowed only five hits while rapping three hits in four trips to the plate himself.
