At the time of his acceptance, a I 1 1 . . . _ 1 .. 1 ? - J aenaior uranam naa expidmeu that "all engagements during tnc period when Congress is in session are made subject to my Senate duties." The reason for his inability to fill the speaking engagement was a parliamentary tangle on tfre floor of the fcenate regarding the oleomargine tax bill which was up for vote and the Senator felt it his duty to remain for the crucial vote. Engagements were also canceled at Franklin, where he was to have spoken to the Franklin Chamber of Commerce, and in Raleigh. The Senator expressed the hope that he would be able to make the address sometime early in February.

The Board has submitted to The Herald the complete proposed building program for the county as recently authorized and approved by the State Board of Education. While the final proposed plan is not what the local Board originally had in mind, it is the only plan the State will authorize at this time. The local Board would like to carry out a much broader improvement and new building program, but available funds will only permit the final authorized plan. The Board has available $668,339.93, and the proposed plan calls for expenditure of. $668,000.00. This amount comes from the following sources: State of North Carolina, $371,339.93; county bond sales, $285,000.00, and probable property sales, $12,000.00. This fund is in addition to the amount already spent for fhe new building at Barker's Creek and the remodeling of Sylva Elementary Building. These two projects were rushed due to the necessity of having to meet requirements imposed by court action after the buildings had been condemned. * t ^ No ?tate funds can be used"in a program of this kind, if geographically possible to consolidate, except where the completed building (new) or the remodeled building will meet the State School requirements for standardization. This means a minimum of at least one teacher per grade for the first seven grades. It is for this reason that the State demands of the local fc>oard certain consolidations of schools and abandonment of oth* ers. The State Approved Building Program is as follows: 1. Scott's Creek, new building, consolidation of Beta, Addie, Willets, and Balsam. The new building plans are almost complete and it will be located at Addie. 2. Canada, new building, con* solidation of Sol's Creek, Charley's Creek, Wolf Creek, Tennessee Gap? and Rock Bridge. Location to be ??? /^lf) ViaI/1 %T?1 iTirV IICCU VIU VICiU Wt/ UliU w?v ? Mountain.
