Officials were to pick up Lewis
and the truck they have charg

steal a truck, in fact he was
sure he was driving a red and
white pickup that belonged to his
father, he parked the truck, and
when he returned, the color just
wasn't the same.
Parents Oppose Reorganization Of School Units
Duplin County parents are
showing more Interest for the
future education of their chil
dren. Many of these Interested
parents have met with die Co
unty Board of Education. They
were courteously received, th
eir suggestions were welcomed,
and they were invited to go ba
ck to their communities |oa dis
cuss the situation and return
with any workable solution.
Some of the comments from
throughout the area aret
Mrs. Patsy Pope, co-owner
Of Popes Variety Store at Mag
nolia, "I can't see the purpose
of sending children elsewhere
to school as virtually all the
school buildings fea the county
are rated inadequate. However,
Magnolia does have new bath
rooms and our principal spent
his Christmas vacation Reply
ing paint he purchased himself.
We do need a new heating sys
tem. I say. lets not stop any
one from learning beacuse of
race, creed or color - nor sh
ould a person be paid to go sit,
and take up room when he has
no desire to learn."
iM: is -jfiii'i* ? r&i.
Al Smith owner of Florist Gi
ft Shop In Warsaw said, "Chil
dren should remain In their Bfl
community until they reack^M
school age. then they need OCT""
solidation to prepare them for
Collage. Children should he
in schools that Include ail age
span of only two or three years.
Each community should lnte
frate and handle its' own pro
lans.
Had I chosen to live at the
county tine I would expect my
children to be bussed to scho
ol. But 1 chose to live in War
saw within a few blocks of the
school. I realize some chil
dren already are bussed 35 mi
les or so, and they should have
adult drivers to keep order on
the bus. The private school
in Golds boro is not the answer
because-there too, you have the
trrfflc problem."
George A. Smoke, Sr., main
tenance mechanic for Quinn
Wholesale, has no children of
school age but is vitally inte
rested in education said, "Th
ere is just no sense in bussing
children 20 miles away. Lets'
live by freedom of choice."
Mrs. Melvin Herring of War
fcsaw commented. "Our main
Pconcern should be the level of
education. We have three chil
dren. one In the first grade,
one in the tenth and one in
college. Our chlldrenfirst need
the best education poadbfe, and
second, to learn to live with
people."
Mrs. Grade Cavenaugh,W
ner and operator of Grade's
Beauty Salon in Magnolia said,
"I'm afraid what is about to
happen is that every parent fin
ancially able is going to send
their children to private
schools. A bus from the Golds
boro school will probably make
a trip here morning ana after
noon. People with small chil
dren are most upset. My you
ngest Is in the 9th grade."
Mrs. Rosa Williams of War
saw has three children in sch
ool. two In Douglass and one
at James Kenan, "I want my
children in school at home be
cause I believe they get along
better in their own school.
Douglass Is a good school and
the teachers there are most
helpful to the students. I sure
ly don't want them sent away to
some other school."
Mrs. Woodrow Blackburn of
Warsaw has a daughter in ele
mentary school. ''Quality edu
cation concerns me much more
/plan the building where educa
tion is administered."
Mr. and Mrs. Emmons Gar
ner. owners and operators of
Ghayhelle's Grill, Wars aw, wo
uld like to know why freedom
of choice can't work in Duplin
as well as in other places.
Ghaynelle said, "Parents must
take more Interest in the sch
ools - in fact they should have
been more interested all the
time. Most children net by
with everything they can/' )
Alfred Herring - Chrysler
Plymouth dealer in Wars aw sa
id, "l attended the meeting in
Kenwsville because Ihadheard
that a school to accommodate
1000 or more students would be
built to take care of Faison,

that plan has been changed. I
feel that the board may be mo
ving faster than facilities or
organization can take care of.
Local buildings need replacing,

W. E. Smith, principal of

am not in favor of the plan.
We have adequate room here A
our school and the small chil

to be made."
