SPECIAL ELECTION CALLED
FOR ADDING 12TH GRADE
TO WAKELON SCHOOL
Continued from front page
afford to add this extra advantage,
which will greatly increase the fa
cilities of our own school and
greatly increase the advantages
that our own children can get here
at home.
Some of the citizens in the com
munity who have discussed this
plan think that it is the greatest
step the community has ever tak
en along the line of school advan
tages. We believe all of you will
see this in the same light that
those who have the responsibility
of shaping the school policies see
it, and if you do we shall have no
trouble in uniting our efforts for
securing this extra advantage for
the children of this community.
We are working solely for the
twelfth grade, with the advantages
it can offer, rather than for a
ninth month. In a farming com
munity the twelfth grade seems to
be more advantageous than a ninth
month.
The tax rate in Wake County is
now seventy-five cents on the hun
dred dollars valuation, one of the
lowest rates of similar counties in
the State. The fifteen cent spe
cial tax now submitted would only
make a ninety cents rate, which
would still be one of the lowest
rates in the State.
The election wi.l be held Satur
day, May 21st, 1938, with the
registration book being open on
Saturday, April 16th, 23rd, 30th,
