Consolidation Of
Seven Schools Proposed I
From a meeting held in the
Warsaw Elementary lunch
room Tuesday night, the fol
lowing information was sub
mitted to the newspapers for
publication.
At the request of the Duplin
County Board of Education and
the Superintendent of Schools,
the Division of School Planning
of the State Department of
Public Instruction arranged for
a survey of certain schools in
Duplin County on July 14, 19
64. The purpose of the survey
was to study the advisability
and practicability of merging
the North Duplin High School
with James Kenan High School
and to consider the possibility
of discontinuing the Elemen
tary schools at Faison and Cal
pso and transferring these
?upils to the North Duplin
ligh School plant.
The survey staff specifically
uggest that consideration be
[iven this merger. It also sug
;ested that because the elemen
ary buildings at Warsaw were
>bsolete that they be replaced
>efore too many years.
The members of this survey
Committee were Mr. P. 0. 3
Byrd, Jr., Superintendent of
Cumberland County Schools:
Mr. Joe L. Cashwell, Division
)f Instructional Services, State
Department of Public Instruc
tion; Mr. D. J. Dark, Bus
Route Supervisor, State Board
of Education; Dr. J. L. Pierce,
and W. L. Latham of the Divi
sion of School Planning.
This suggestion of transfer
ring the Calypso and Faison
elementary schools to North
Duplin was generally accepted,
but the transferring of North
Duplin students to James Ken
an met some opposition.
Because of the obsolescence
of the Warsaw buildings, the
interest shown by the Magnolia
parents in bettering the facili
ties for their children and a
similar problem of combination

Chamber Ot Commerce
Speaks Out On KKK
?
]
The Rose Hill Chamber of Commerce at its
regular meeting November 10, 1964 unanimously
concluded that the activities of the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan do not enhance the peace, har
mony, or good will of our beloved community.
The Chamber of Commerce realizes the right
of persons to peaceably assemble on private prop
erty, but we as a body wholeheartedly agreed that
the activities of the Klan do not create an accep
table atmosphere for the development of our in
dustrial and agricultural potential.
As far as the Chamber of Commerce can
determine, no local body, group or association
either invited, assisted, desired' or condoned a
meeting of this nature in our community.
The Chamber regrets that the meeting took
place in our area.
The statement above was is
sued by the Chamber of Com
merce in reference to a meet
ing of the Klan held on the
outskirts of Rose Hill on High
way 117 Saturday before the
election. The rally was the first
'-public appearance of the Klan
here since the 1920's. Exactly
how the meeting happened to
be scheduled for the particular
time and date and place is a
matter of speculation, but it is
noted that similar sessions of
the Klan were held in other
Eastern Carolina communities
in the final days before Tues
day's election. The principal
speakers at the rally were
James R. (Bob) Jones, Grand
Draeon of the North Carolina
KKKK, and his state chaplain,
the Rev. Georve Dorsett.
Hie Rose Hill Chamber of
Commerce is composed of the
merchants, and the business
and professional men of the
community looking towards the
development of the area and
especially the attracting of in
dustry to this section to
promote fuller employment of
all the people.
Tuberculin Skin
Testing Program
In Schools
The Duplin County Health
Department nurses are in the
process of completing the coun
ty wide Tuberculin skin test
ing program in all of the first
and ninth grades. The Tuber
culosis Association purchased
the tuberculin tine test.
The children with positive tu
berculin test will be x-rayed at
the Health Department and
followed if necessary by the
public health nurse in her
area. The families of the child
ren with positive skin test will
also be x-rayed if they are 14
yrs. or over and the children
under 14 years will be skin test
ed and if positive will be x-ray
ed.
Hie x-ray clinic is held every
Wednesday from 1-nn to 4-00
p. m. The first vraders were
chosen because they have re
cently left home situations and
this is a good means to find
new undected tuberculosis cas
es. The ninth graders were
chosen because they are in the
adolescent group and this age
group is more susceptible to
tuberculosis.
