Miss Hattie Parrott, state supervisor of schools, told 55 mem bers of the Washington County Teachers Association, who attended a meeting here Tuesday afternoon. There are four such combinations of grades in the Plymouth schools; that is. there are two different grades in the same room and taught by a single teacher This is brought about by congested conditions, scarcity of teachers, and some grades having too many students for one room and one teacher but not large enough to re quire two. Miss Parrott made the assertion about the combination upon ques tioning after she had made a talk on reading. Miss Dorothea Tucker, a represen tative of tire State Blind Commis sion. explained how the teachers might examine tire eyes of the stu dents and report the visual defections found. Dr. S. V. Lewis followed her with a talk on what his district health organization was doing in the schools. H. H. McLean, superintendent of county schools, presided over the meeting and presented the speakers. Survey of Turnpike Promised This Year 'Continued from page one!* a group of men from Pantego. Bel haven. Wenona and Pungo., who vis ited Highway Commissioner E. V. Webb in Kinston this week. Proponents of the improvements to this road—known locally as “The Turnpike”—say that Commissioner Webb was very encouraging in the conversation they had with him this week, and it is believed that some thing will be done to remedy condi tions in this section within the next year or so. This stretch of road becomes im passable at certain periods of the year, particularly during a winter such as the last one. If it was sur faced, it would become an import ant feeder from Hyde County and Belhaven to the Albemarle Sound bridge. Secretary Darden presided over the conference held with Mr. Webb, out lining the purpose of the gathering, and Fred P. Latham, of Belhaven, made the principal speech. A dele gation of about 20 persons attended the meeting. Advises Planting Tomato Seed Now Tomato seed should be planted next week, according to A L. Alexander, who contracted with farmers for the growth of about 125 acres in Wash ington County and 150 acres in Tyr rell. He said he would like to make contracts for about 100 more acres. Farmers are urged to plant early so that the crop will be ready for harvest while the best prices are pre vailing on the markets. Mr. (Jawan, a New York broker, to whom Mr. Alexander plans to ship green-wrapped tomatoes, was in Plym outh Friday en route to Columbia, and w'as reported to have advised farmers to plant an average acreage. The green tomatoes will be wrapped in Columbia and Roper for shipment to northern markets, while ripe to matoes will be canned at Roper by Carroll Crockett.
