Sloan, Franklin, attention to the law providing tor 15 days' public notice that a meeting of the board Is to be held to elect a county superin tendent. "I don't think a coun ty In the state ever has observ ed the law, however", he add ed. Remarking that he was not In a position to know what other counties do, Mr. Sloan said he thought "we should comply with the statute", and he moved for postponement of the election until notice could be given. After considerable dis cussion, during which Mr. Houk explained the state's teacher allotment plan, Mr. Browning seconded the motion, and it was carried Raises Diploma Issue At this point Mr. Sloan, act ing at the request of the local post of the American Legion, brought up for discussion the question of Issuing high school diplomas to Macon veterans who entered the armed forces before completing high school, but have satisfactorily passed tests given by the Armed, Forces In stitute. He said the State Board ol Education permits issuance of diplomas, but leaves the decis ion to the local units. Mr. Sloan, quoting Dr. Carl Killian, of Cullowhee, as saying that diplomas are given every where in the state except in Macon county and at Fayette ville, argued that "our veterans should have the same advan tages as those of other coun ties". And during the 30 or 40 minutes' discussion that follow ed, he repeatedly came back to that argument. Mr Houk argued that a high school diploma "really doesn't mean anything", explaining that a transcript of credits is what is required for college entrance, and said that he was opposed to giving a student "what he hadn't earned." Mr. Sloan countered by say ing many veterans have no in tention of going to college, but want a high school diploma; there are many jobs for which a man may not apply unless he holds a high school diploma, he insisted. He added that he knew Macon County men who have gone to Sylva and obtained the diplomas they could not get here. He then moved that the su l . ?Continued From Pip One Draft Board Complete* Its Job After Six Year* laboratory services. , In every Instance these per sons served without pay. Not once, during the board's existence, draft officials said this week, did anyone decline to do anything he or she was ask ed to do to help in the work of selective service; without excep tion, the response was prompt and cheerful. The draft office will remain open temporarily, and wiil ue known as the oilice of selective service records, while the rec ords are being put in order, preparatory to snipmenc to a central depot. The draft board, however, ? as a part of selective service, held its final meeting March 31, and the minutes of that meeting contain the following: "The chairman ... expressed himself as feeling that the board, on the whoie, had done a good job with a minimum of public criticism. ... He said he felt that each member with whom he had served had been most faithful and conseclentious in performing the tasks set for the national and state head quarters. He also expressed thanks to all the clerical help who had served during the six years and more of the existence of the board". To this, Chairman Long ad ded: "I particularly want to express appreciation for the attitude of the general public. It has been splendid. I, and, I am sure, all others who have served on the board, are grateful for the pub lic's cooperation with us in a difficult task. perintendent be requested by the board to issue diplomas on a basis of Armed Forces Insti tute credits. After considerable further discussion, Mr. Houk agreed to issue diplomas, but insisted he was unwilling to give college entrance credits for work not taken. Mr. Sloan agreed that such credits should not be given. At this point, Mr. Byrd sec onded Mr. Sloan's motion and it was carried. MACON THEATRE v WEEK DATS? Matinee 3:15; night 7:15-9:15. SUNDAY?
