An interesling fact was
learned this week from Supt.
H. Lee Thomas of the county
schools, as he announced that
Mrs. Tarba Brown has been
appointed "helping teacher"
for Negro elementary ^schools
under the new state supervi-

sory program.
Mrs. Brown, an elementary
teacher at Carthage for some
years, is hot only the highest
qualified teacher in the coun
ty system nut (as a result)
the highest paid. Holder of a
master's degree and master's
certificate from Columlpia
university, she is paid by the
state at the rate of $341 per
month. Mrs. Brown was also
the highest paid teacher last
year.
Two white teachers and
one Negro teacher, to act as
supervisors, were allotted
Moore County under the new
state program. Miss Faye
Brewer and Mrs. Beulah Mc
Pherson were appointed for
the white schools. They will
assist in the Southern Pines
and Pinehurst units as well
as the county system.
ferring the property to the state
was received last Saturday from
the War Assets Administration. It
now is being recorded in Scotland,
Richmond and Moore counties, in
which the area lies.
Drill for the Blue and White
got down to serious business
Monday when heavy equipment
was issued to the squad.
After an hour’s work on fun
damentals of positional play, fol
lowed with signal drills, and
dummy scrimmage, the squad
went over to the end of the field
to take on the blocking and tack
ling dummies. The workout end
ed with calisthenics and wind
sprints. Coach Leonard, new
member of the high school fac
ulty, was on hand to take part in
the workouts, handling the block

Slum Clearance
For N. Carolina
Ross said a forestry project
might be established in the area
and the parks division might par
ticipate in development of some
of the numerous lakes. Several
lakes now are open to fishing but
no boats are available. Under the
park service, boats and bathing fa
cilities might be provided.
Patton said that his commission
recently authorized the expendi
ture of $20,000 to develop five of
the lakes for fishing purposes.
Boss and Patton also are en
gaged in setting up a joint project
for marking the dividing line be
tween commercial and inland wa
ters in, Eastern Carolina. At
present, these lines are not mark
ed, and in some areas there is
confusion about where commercial
fishing territory ends.
Both the Wildlife Resources
Commission and the Board of Con
servation and Development have
approved the projects. Persons
employed to put up signs will be
paid from appropriations made
jointly by the two departments.

the White team, and from there
out the tow teams joyously
squared off. There were touch

Representative Charles B.
Deane of Rockingham continued
to make news in Washington last
week as he made a speech from
the House floor Tuesday. Mr.
Deane declared that slum clear
ance is a challenge to North Car
olina.
The speech came as the House
debated on a bill to amend the Na
tional Housing Act. These amend
ments, Representative Deane said,
would provide primarily for per
sons in the middle-salary group
who are not already touched by
tthe housing act.
Mr. Deane ipia later interview
stated that it was his hope that
the North Carolina Legislature
could be convinced of slum clear
ance needs at its' next session,
Some 30 states have already pas
sed such an act but North Caro
lina is not among them.
“The great metropolitan areas
are not the only ones where slum
clearance is needed but smaller
areas must also come to face the
slum problem,” Mr. Deane said.
In concluding his speech Mr.
Deane stated that federal funds
are available for slum clearance
if the states provides additional
appropriations to meet the to
tal cost.

SOUTHERN PINES. N. C.
couldn’t be judged. Newton on
the Blue side broke into the open
and raced for a touchdown, and
moments after Baker took a pass
from Andy Page for a second
Blue marker. Ray Copley for the
Whites countered by snagging a
Blue pass out 'of the air to score,
and Page back over with the
White team bulled inside end for
what would have been good for
a touchdown. Dickerson, display
ing last year’s form, swept wide
on a reverse for a score for the
Blue, but the Whites were driv
ing right back when the coaches
called it a day.
Wednesday morning the squad
went back to signal drills and
conditioning exercises, and light
scrimmage Thursday. It is too
early ytet to make any predictions
on what kind or how strong a
Blue and White team will be
fielded this fall. But it isn’t too
early to see clearly that this is
perhaps the most spirited squad
the coaches have had since foot
ball began here five years past.
No starting team has been pick
ed, and Dawson and Weaver have
said that, as far as they are con
cerned, every post is wide open.
That could be seen from Tues
day’s heavy scrimmage as play
ers were being shifted from Blue
to White and position to position.
It is probable that no sure starters
will be picked before the opening
game, and a fierce battle is being
put up now by the boys trying
to get the starting nod of the
coaches. —JAP
