Thursday AS tfflioon PAGE EIGHT (Second Section)' TIIE UAYNFSYILLE MOUNTAINEER a: ORE ABOUT totter (Continued from Page 1) taken into consideration and given great weight the Survey Coiii mittec. The "joker"' in this appar ent factual condition, however, is the fact that the student body at these two schools is in a great measure made up of children actu ally residing in other school dis tricts whose parents send them to these two schools rather than to the schools near which they reside fQr the simple reason that the fa cilities at their local schools are sd overcrowded, and so totally in adequate to take care of the chil dren who should and would norm ally atlend those local schools, -that, no thinking parenl would insist on ahild attending his local school except as a last resort. This situ ation has prevailed for quite a long time, with the result that the con dition feeds upon itself, with the net result that the smaller schools in the county have gone and are go ing steadily down-hill leven though they remain hopeU'ssly crowded by the children of parents who can not arrange or all'ard vo send them to the bigger schoolsi while the Wnynesville Central especially, and also the llcthe-l School, have enjoyed greater and greater in creases in their respective student bodies and in the facilities for the handling of these additional stu dents. "This situation prevails for a very obvious reason,, and that rea son is the improper and actually unlawful attitude of the Haywood County Hoard of Education which has been repeatedly expressed by the Superintendent as being "Hay wood County is all one School Dis trict as far as we are concerned". Not only does the Comity Board refuse to enforce the district at tendance at the various schools, In the County according to the dis tricting plaii of Hie Stale Board, but it has refused to cooperate the Haywood County School situ ation. It is true that the Waynes ville Central and the Bethel Schools show a very high student census. This fact was naturally Tobacco First Grown In White Oak In 1880 By Mrs. George Boring Mountaineer Reporter The first commercial Burley to bacco crop in White Oak was pro duced in 1880. The introduction of the leaf for business purposes was made by Spaight Clark and his brother,; Dallas P. Clark, and Joseph and Mont Snelson. That was in the days before a market was established in Western ; North Carolina. ' After harvesting the crop, the men hauled it on ox carts to Ashe ville, then shipped It by rail from there, to the warehouses at Lynch- j burg, Va, It's fortunate that they weren't depending on this first crop for, their entire source of Income, how- ever. '.. . . j It took three months for the rc- ' turns from the sale to reach them. The Clark farm produced a to- j bacco crop every year from that j first year until 1920 when Zack Clark died. j After a five-year lapse, his broth-' er, Grover, started growing tobac-' co. . ! This section of Haywood, expert- enced as it was in tobacco growing, j has produced some of the finest j Hurley ever grown in North and ; South Carolina. in any way in setting up or en couraging the organization of Dis-! trlct Administrative Units or com-i mitters as required by Statute. Many of those whom I represent state flatly that all efforts on the part of interested citizens to have the County Board abide by and en force the districting regulations of the State Board have invariably: been met with either point-blank refusals or such tactics of delay ard evasion that it has been im possible to even have a sensible discussion with the Board relative to this. The end result is that some children ride 15 to 17 miles in the had weather of winter to atlend one of the two "favorite" schools of the Board (Bethel or Waynesville Central), and pass not only their own schoolhouses but as many as one or two more small, ocal school buildings on their way to these schools. Obviously this con dition gives rise to a totally mis leading siluation as to attendance, present and prospective, at these two "favorite" schools, and it Is no wonder that the Survey Com mittee was completely fooled by the attendance figures at these two schools and that they recommend ed greatly enlarging both plants. "The people for whom I speak well recognize the values inher ent in intelligent school consolid ation when warranted by the true facts. They do not, however, wish to allow a County Board, which has consistently and repeatedly refused to conduct its affairs according to aw and the regulations of the State Board, to allocate every cent of the initial $250,000 school plant fund to two schools whose present facilities are very probably ade quate to take care of the students who should attend these schools, while the school plants In the peri pheral communities are allowed to deteriorate disgracefully. "The people for whom I spek well know that the State Board will never knowingly be a party to irregular or improper school ad ministration, and they are grate ful for the caution which your Board has already shown in con sidering the Haywood County situ ation before approving the propos ed building plans. It is their pur pose in having me write this let ter only to get on the record some of their feelings and objections since they feel that they have been unable to make these feelings and objections known, or have them considered, through the normal channels, largely because of the complete failure of the Haywood Board to allow or provide for local administrative unit organizations. your Board approve no plans offer ed by the outgoing Haywood Coun- Address ; ty School Board (no member of L which has been re-nomlnated for eiectioni without first having some committee or other representative of your Board meet with the vari ous Parent-Teachers Associations and other interested organizations of citizens in Haywood County, "I regret having had to write such a long communication, but 1 respectfully request that it be giv en the very serious consideration by your entire Board that the good citizens of Haywood County feel it deserve'.
