Citizens For Better Schools Moot-Yohrorton Victim Of Circumstances Approximately one hundred persons attended the "Duplin County Citizens For Better Sc hool" meeting at the County Courthouse Tuesday night. The spot on the program de signated "Well Chosen Words" was used by President James Orengla to warn the group that fear Is paralyzing American Citizens and that communism Is Steadily Infiltering the Amer ican way of life. He urged the group to think, and to make decisions for themselves. During the business session a count showed 1,697 names on a petition now circulating in the county for tb? removal - of school superintendent Ch arles H. Yelverton, who they allege did close school and ar range busing in violation of laws, and was unable to bal ance funds and other failures. Circulation of the petition is expected to be completed by the next scheduled meeting. A statement was made in the meeting that "the super intendent is probably a victim of circumstances but should be removed to show that we mean business." Yelverton, said that he is aware of a petition to oust him from office. He said the charges made in the petition being circulated by the group pretaines to action taken by the Duplin County Sch ool Board and not Yelverton personally. "I do not make decisions governing the schools. I pre sent facts and possibilites to the Board of Education who makes all the decisions govern ing the school" said Yelverton. The -petitions says in part: "During the summer of 1969 in direct violation to North Carolina Public School law..... he closed schools and arranged busing..,.." Yelverton said the Duplin Co unty Board of Education was under court order to create a "unified" school system. The order was handed down by Fed eral Judge Algernon Butler. The plans were ordered to be In court hands by August 1, 1969. The court order super ceded a previous plan accep ted by the Department of Hea lth. Education and Welfare (HEW). Open meetings were held in every school community. The board considered several al ternate plans and finally after much discussion and delibera tion decided on the plan now in Use. This plan included the closing of Branch School, Teachey Sch ool, P. E. Williams and Warsaw Elementary School. Branch and Teachey were negro schools. The plan which seems to be working very smoothly in the county, complies with the court order as well as the civil rights law. A further charge in the' peti tion says "during the 1968-69 school year Mr. Yelverton was unable to balance county funds appropriated for janitorial and maid services with'tfhe county schools".

On November 4, *an election will be held on the question of levying a in sales tax in this county On the same date voters in all 100 counties will vote on the same question. If a majority of the voters in this county approve, a 1% county-wide sales tax will be levied effective March 1, 1970, on all sates now subject to the State aales tax. Coorties which fail to approve this lo cal tax wfll not share in the revenue. tax will be collected by the State and Vt the revenue collected in this county will be returned to tne county and its municipalities. The re mainder of the revenue will be "ported" with V6 the rev enue collected in all taxing counties and allocated to this and other taxing counties and the municipalities therein on the basis of population. The Commission feels that this local tax will: relieve the mounting tan burden on the property owner; more equita ble distribute the rising cost at - local ^oveAment among afl citizens who benefit from local services; provide'needed rev enue to improve fire, school recreation, hospital and other services. The Commission urges the citizens of Duplin County to vote in favor of this tax on November 4. 7.-j "V~r wpcf ., Rose Hill Police Chief Elton Taylor, second from left, with the Rose Hill Auxiliary Police force left to ri#ht: Melvin Dixon, ' ' ' '' '* ? 1? i.
