Pine Level started the scoring in and members of the board of County Commissioners met Saturday afternon at 3 o'clock in the Smithfield school auditorium. The question discussed was whether legis lation should be enacted to ease re strictions on the spending of special tax funds of Johnston County school districts. . The meeting was opened by- W. H. Call of Selma at 3:18 o'clock. .. "Gentlemen as you know there is a crisis in the Archer Lodge school," said H. B. Marrow, superintendent of Johnston County schools.

"Archer Lodge is not a high school and therefore is not eligible for voca tional training," explained Superin tendent Marrow. "The cost of voca tional training in small schools is almost prohibitive," During the two-hour meeting Superintendent Marrow called on all the principals present for short talks. A majority of them spoke as being satisfied with the present distribution foul I of the special tax money. Howard V. Gaskill, of Selma in re porting 'on the Selma school stated: . . .

He stated that New York state Was confronted with the same problem. ; "I do not think there is any doubt that we need more class rooms," stat ed Senator Adam J. Whitley, Jr. "I am in favor of the proposed 50 mil lion dollar State appropriation to build additional class rooms. About this matter of diverting special funds, I would like to have some clarifies tion on that matter." One man present stated that he thought it ridiculous that the state should set up an eight grade school at Archer Lodge and then only supply seven teachers. Representative G. Troy Page, asked Superintendent Marrow if the teacher load could be reduced at Archer Lodge and thereby create an opening for an additional authorized teacher. The county superintendent explained that the teacher load in the rural schools is lower due to tha population. "In view of possible aid from the State and Federal government for our schools, I see no need of spending local funds which could be saved," declared Representative Page. Mr. Marrow agreed that in event of outside aid, local funds would be' needed to match State and Federal money. "It certainly would be appropriate for you to use this money for any purpose desired," declared Represen tative Ronald Hocutt. "I favor leaving It to the local people to spend It ai they see tit. I am wholeheartedly in favor of this amendment. I believe we are going to receive some aid from the State for our Schools. I believe also our Federal government is going to also help our schools." The re presentative mentioned taking tne matter up with the State - Attorney General.
