Hicks, chairman, A. C. Oakes and
W. H. Graves—and B. L. Davis, sup
erintendent of schools, appeared be
fore the Building Committee of the
State Board of Education last Wed
nesday and requested the adoption
of a building program which they
wanted to substitute for a state-ap
proved plan to consolidate all the
white high schools in the e< u ity with
the Snow pill school.
The program which Supt. Davis,
Chairman Hicks and their colleagues
espoused calls for the following im
provements:
Erection Of a six-classroom pri
mary building, with facilities and
cafeteria (with necessary plans for
additional classrooms and auditorium
when money is available) at Snow
Hill,, at a cost of $95,000.
Construction of a cafeteria at the
Walstonburg school, costing $35,000.
Construction of a cafeteria for the
Maury school at a cost of $35,000.
Construction of a cafeteria at
Hookerton at a cost of $35,000.
Erection of a high school unit for
the Greene County Training School,
colored, at Snow Hill, to cost $185,
000. The unit will comprise 12
classrooms, home making department,
science room and gymnasium.
Greene county officials have been
notified by State Supt. Clyde A. Er
win and John Cameron, director of
schoolhouse planning and surveys,
that the substitute program offered
by the county had been approved.
At its meeting on Tuesday of this
week, the Board of Education au
thorized its architect, William Cole
man of Kinston, to draw plans and
specifications for the new buildings
and to prepare them for letting of
contracts as soon as advisable.
The board requested the architect
to have the plans for the primary
building nt Snow Hill to include 12“
classrooms with an alternate plan of
six classrooms with the understand
ing that if the six additional rooms
are built the cost would be paid by
the county and would necessarily
have to be approved by the County
Commissioners.
The Board of Education requested
the Commissioners to provide funis
for the purchase of a new site for
the Snow Hill building. The site sug
gested is composed of approximately
26 acres in the eastern part of town
near the old railway station. George
W. Edwards, secretary to the Beard'

board had agreed to the purchase of
the land, provided the price was sat

At The Rotary Club
Carter Darrow, a Rotarian and an
executive'of the Carolina Telephone
and Telegraph company, from Tar
boro, Tuesday night outlined some of
the problems faced by the telephone
company in its effort to render the
best service to the greatest number of
people.
Darrow explained that under the
system of free enterprise,'there were
two main groups, tile competitive and
the regulated. The telephone company
fall£ into the latter group and is to
some extent controlled by both the
Federal Communication System and
the Utilities Commission.
Commenting on the proposed rate
increase of 12 per cent being sought
by the Carolina Telephone and Tele
graph company, it was necessary
that the company show the Commis
sion that it was operating economi
cally, but needed a return on its in
vestment; and that it was the duty
of the Commission to see that such
rates were charged to allow the com-'
pany make a fair return on its invest
ment. According to Darrow, the cur
rent rate based on a year’s earnings
amounts to approximately 4.04 per
cent, whereas with the new increase
taken into consideration, it will run
something like 9 tier cent. Darrow
was introduced by Jack Darden, pro
gram chairman.
Club pianist, Mary Leah Thome,
received the attendance prize and the
fellowship prize went to Russell Mi
zelle. /■
Edwin Coates had as his guest Ed

sided.
