Successful Outcome of Special Tax Proposal Yesterday Brings Karly Prospect of Consolidation HIGH SCHOOL PI.ANINKU Funds Soon Available, and ' Tentative Plans Drawn for Third Large School in This County A momentous victory for improved rural education i-i Pasquotank County was scored yesterday through the successful outcome of an elec tion to determine whether i gpcciid school tax of 30 cents per $100 property valuation be levied in four small school districts in the territory ad jacent to Elizabeth City. The vote was 91 to 6 in favor of the special tax. Klcveii of those who registered failt d to vote, and therefor** counted against tin* proposal. in cffect making the vote 91 for mid 17 against it. The school districts in which the olec'lon whs held w? re Cor inth, Xixonton, Ranks and Small's. Thcae had returned favorable* ina- 1 joritlcs in a similar election hold September 1, with a view to coo-! solldatlon of all the small dig- 1 trlcts about Elizabeth City, but : they had been voted down In some ! of the larger dislticts, notably! Forks and Uerca. The importance of yesterday's , victory is seen In the circumstance that the Couuty Hoard of Educa tion Is empowered, at its dlncre- i tlou, to cooHolldato these newly formed special tax districts with 1 other such districts already in ex- 1 Istence, and build a single large central school for them all. Thin i in contemplated by the hoard. Anticipating; a successful out- j come for the election, the Hoard J of Education, at Its last meeting, tentatively approved plans for a modern high school, probably to bo erected somewhere In the vl- \ clnlty of this city on a site to lie selectrd on the Hertford High way. The board also lias ar ranged to borrow funds from the State to finance erection of a , school of the type proposed. IJarrIng eventualities not fore- , seen at present, the County Itoard 1 of Education proposed to have j ready for occupancy a large, mod- , em high school in this territory ndjacent to the city by the open-1 Ing of tho 1 U26-27 scho'-l term. The board Is particularly nnvlnusj to accomplish this by reason of an announcement by the Hoard of | Trustees of the city schools to the effect that no out" of town pupils will he accepted in Elizabeth City High School after the present ses sion. The carrying into effect of this plan means virtual completion of the consolidation of Pasquotank's rural high schools in threo larg? units centering about Wreksville, Newland and Corinth. Only a sihhII territory is left out. and It, Is anticipated that this will he ab sorbed normally Into the new dis tricts about Elizabeth City In the early future.

Nov. 18 ? Quick action and clour thinking ;on the part of Dexter Snow of i Powells l*olnt is probably all that saved himself and two others from drowning In Currituck Sound last Thursday night when the launch in which they wore going from ,Currltuck Courthouse to Swan t Island Club struck a snag and 'poked a hole in her hull, sinking almost immediately. Mr. Snow. who is gain - warden in the vicinity of Swan Inland Club, had been to Currituck ; Courthouse landing to meet A1 Poyner. superintendent of the club, and also George Whltehnmt They wore returning to the club when engine troublo developed and the boat began to drift with the wind. The night wan stormy and the boat was drifting at a great rate of speed when it struck a snag In the edge of the Chan n**l. Seeing that the boat wan sinking, Mr. Snow quickly wound i-d the water and discovered that there was ton feet of water on one side and only five on the other, lie quickly throw the an clior as far a* he could on the shoal and putting all his strength and weight on the cable he suc ceeded In getting the boat into shallow water before It sank. This was about 6 o'clock and the three men were then forced to cling to the hull of the boat until 9 o'clock, during which time they were subjected to one of the worst storms that haa been seen in some time, Finally a boat go ing to Mundenn Point. Virginia, picked the three men up and cared for them until ihey were returned home. It Is aaid that efforts will be mud<? at once to raise and re pair the sunken launch. PA1NLEVE LEARNED FROM GEN.

The Commission met in Joint session with tho City Council Tuesday night with a view to ward fonnululing a city zoning ordinance. The only man present who seemed to have directed his Ideas Into definite channels wan City Manager M. W. Ferebee. Mr. Fere bee had been studying the city zoning ordinance recently adopted by Norfolk and with a map of Kllzabeth City before him had cer tain concrete suggestions as to what flections of the ell y should be denominated as ('lass A. for residence buildings only, i Class H for business and class C for industrials. Members of the Planning Commission however, had not given the problems which' he suggested sufficient thought to he ready to make any commit ments. The City Council stood pat. having no sugKestions to offer, hut taking the position that the time for the Council to function was when the planning body had a concrete ordinance to offer. After a half hour's desultory! discussion without anything be fore the house, the planning com-1 mission adopled a motion to meet Hi ;i Inter date. after members have read up on the subject of city zoning. and attempt to draw up a city zoning ordinance "In the rough." When the City Plan ning Commission has worked out Its plan, it will swap Ideas with ' City Manager Ferebee and then will tackle the Job of undertaking to put the rlty zoning ordinance In form for presentation to the City Council. Members of the Cliy (Manning Commission are (J F, Seyffert, W. Ren flood win. F. K. Kramer, and Marshall If Jones, with Mayor MrCahe ex officio members.

These !a>* t few days should be filled with action by those who are anxious to earn the Hudson coach or one of the Ford*. There ia still plenty of territory to cover thnt haa hardly been scratched. Neither Hertford nor Kdenton have been convsssed. apparently. Plymouth ought to be worth working, all of Gates ia practical ly untouched, and the same thins Ih true of the Shiloh and Old Trap sections of Camden. Even right here in Elizabeth City there are many subscriptions to be had. All those folks who still pay 10 cents a week for the paper are Rood prospect s for a year's sub scription. They will not only save a $1.20 a year by subscribing In advance but they will save them selves the- annoyance of answer ing the door on Saturday evenlnga when they are busy and have to stop and pay the carrier boy. The newsboy appreciates these paid-in advance subscriptions too. Contestants who would make the most of these remaining few days of the campaign should not fail to call at the cumpalgn office and be supplied with a Hat of folks here in the city or outside whom- subscription has recently expired or ahout to expire. A list of subscriber* now taking the paper street by street may also be had and many of these folks will gladly pay in advance for six months or more If they are so licited. So far this week things have, been rather dull as far as work accomplished by the different ones listed are concerned. Records In dicate that the majority on the list are titling back resting after a wonderful finish during the past week. Aa stated some two days ago. the opportune time for get ting ahead on the list will be dur ing the days that remain of this week. Next week all will no doubt llnlsh strong, but this week, with votes given on subscriptions a lot higher, all are urged to bring In what remaining promises they may have. As a special Inducement for the more nmbltious ones to carry on now at this most vital time the campaign manager will Issue to those contestants, who turn In a second subscription for s sub scriber. the same number of votes as thought that subscription were turmd In during the first period when the most votes were given. Go back to some of those folks who have already subscribed for six months or more and have them give you another subscrip tion and you will be given the sam? number of votes Just as though the big voting period were still In effect. AMEIUCAN STUDENTS SUPPORT THE LEAGUE London, Nov. IK. ? American students are among the most ac tive and staunch supporters of the league of nations at Oxford uni versity They had a large part In organising the Oxford Interna tional assembly, a body modeled upon the league form and repre sentative of all the states and na tion*. and several have presided over its meetings. A number of Rhodes scholars have conducted league meetings and rallies In the rural land industrial districts In aid of the movement to popular ize the league and make It a real force In the guidance of English foreign policy.
