Schools In
County All .
Sel To Open
School bells will ring for the
first time this fall in Haywood
County when pupils in the Canton
District report to classes at 8:30
a.m. Tuesday.
For students in the Haywood
District, classwork will not com-1
mence until Wednesday morning.
With many of the schools to be
used as voting places for the beer
and wine election on Tuesday, offi
cials decided there would be much
less confusion if opening date Was
postponed one day.
Everything is in readiness for
the pupils, however. Changes in
the teaching staffs have been com
pleted; most of the schools have
been improved with renovations,1
new paint, and other necessary
work: the football teams have been
practicing to be ready for opening
games which start right along with
classwork; school buses have been
getting final check-ups; children
standing fearfully in doctors' of
fices to get their immunization
shots; practically every pupil has
been buying new clothes and get
ting together supplies.
Early indications are that regis
tration will be above that of last
rear, with most schools having a
slight increase in enrollments.
