GOOD START A. B. Latta, local poultryman of the Schley Community, in coop eration with the North Carolina Experiment Station, is conducting a field trial with some hybrid strains developed by the College’s' experimental farm. 163 of these pullets were placed with Mr. Lat te on February 16th. On that same date he secured 500 White Leg horns and 300 White Americans from a commercial hatchery with whom he had been doing business for some time. During the brood ing and range period these birds received- the same attention: According- to Mr. Latta and sev eral of the neighbors who have seen,, the flock, the l#oat hybrids are much - better developed 'and show more maturity than the nther^reeds - Fpom the ISO hybrid# he is already getting about 3 dozen eggs per day. On an equivalent Bumhtn'fcibMW , the Leghorns are producing about 1M> dozen eggs per day. and the White Americans, which are a much heavier breed, are producing about one dozen BRAKE Adjustments May Save Your Life At Herring-Conners Hillsboro per day. .

What is a local ^option unit?,. ■ A. Under this program of Gover nor Hodges and the Advisory Com | mittee on Education, your admin j istrative School Board maf create i what would be known a,- "local [ option units.” A local option unit would be any county or city school administrative unit or any subdivision thereof. 15 Give me an illustration. A. If your County Sfhool Board wanted to, it could make a local ] option unit out of the immediate area that® your child's school ! verves. ) 16. If the people in my area de cide to close my child’s school, : could I send, my child to school ; in anothojv unit? A. You may not. However, you many move your home into anoth ; er unit and your child could go J to a public school there, or you can get a grant. j * 17. What about the compulsory i school law? A. It remains in the books with one change. Under this change you .fetljd not be forced to send yfiur child to school if (1) the- only public school available to you is! integrated „ and (2) no approved private school is available. 18. Did the U. S. Supreme Court - have the right to disturb our long I established school system like this? A. We think not. We believe it took power unto itself that actual ly rests in the hands of the people of a state. The Supreme Court’s continued assignment unto, itself of unprecedented and illegal pow er is causing grave and growing i convern throughout the United States, But until the Court is curb ed„iis decisions are the law. 19 Do these questions on which we will vote get around the Su preme Court’s decision? A. Again we are not attempt ing t|' defy th.e "Court. We are law abiding, decent people. It is our prayerful wish to continue a pub lic school system for those who want it and yet preserve our tradi tion's. 20. Who determines when a con dition i • "intolerable” and a vote on closing the school is requested? A. The word ‘intolerable” "is not included in these bills. Howev er, it is up to the people in a lo cal option unit *to determine whether their school's °P$rati<SH has become intolerable. THe vote of the people in the unit will de termine this question. If the vote is to close the schools, then the condition is intolerable. If the vote is to keep open the schools, then the condition is evidently not in tolerable. 21. What will become of school buildings no longer used for pub lic school purposes? s *."« A. Public school buildings be / , adrfiinistra,h and therefore to th* » live in that unit. Lawf* been to the books for * provide that local school may lease or .-ell schoo no longer necessary School purposes. « W 22. Why should I vote? A.
