Children Needed On Farms To Help Harvest Big Bean Crop During August. Schools of the Waynesville dis trict will not open this year until August 30th, according to a joint statement issued by M. II. Bowles, district superintendent, and Jack Messer, county superintendent of cduent ion. There is a strong possibility that county schools will not open until August 30. Mr. Messer said. The opening date had previously been set for August second, but with the shortage of labor in pick ing beans, and several other crops during August, the school authori ties decided to forego opening of school in order to aid the funnel's and war effort in matter of har vest ing. Another factor entering into the postponement of the opening has been the lack of parts for repair ing the school busses. Mr. Messer said yesterday that it would be al most impossible to get the busses in shape for use on August second. Details as to registration dates for all schools and classes will be made later, the two school officials said.
