Teachers Legislative Body
Endorses Longer Schools
Raleigh.—The legislative committee
of the North Carolina Education
assoc lai ton. in session in the asso
ciation offices Saturday agreed to
ask the 1929 general assembly to
provide for a minimum eight
months school term, supported by
local taxation and a very substan
tially augmented equalization fund.
The committee, composed of
school men and women from all
parts of the state, thought that the
Connor decision in the Guilford
county case opened the way for
the legislature to provide an eight
months' term, and that since this
was characterized as the paramount
educational need of the state at. the
present time, the sooner piovision
could be made for the extended
term the sooner the schools could
be put on a more efficient basis.
In 1927, while no opinion had been
rendered by the supreme court, the
legal authorities of the state
thought that the legislature did not
have a right to command a length
of term longer than the constitu
tional limit oi six months. The
Connor decision gives the legislature
this right and caused the committee
from the teachers' association to
back the movement for the longer
term In the immediate future,
without waiting for a constitutional
J amendment.
Members of the committee were
of the opinion that enactment of an
eight months' term law should be
accompanied by such substantial in- |
creases in the equalisation fund that
the two additional months should
not be a financial burden on the
land of the state. While the word
ing of the resolution adopted by
the committee does not definitely
state that the additional revenues
needed shall come from indirect
sources of taxation and not from
property, the committee was unan
imous in its opinion that additional
revenue should not be sought from
rural property or from real prop
erty anywhere in North Carolina.
The committee did not, at the first
session go into the question of
sources of revenue, and as such
probably will not do so, since the
tax commission Is making this study
and will submit Its report to the
next session of the legislature.
The only other matter that re
ceived the endorsement of ti e com- \
mittee was calling for adequate legis
latlon and support for the employ
ment of supervisors for all schools
of the state.
The members of the committee
present were:
John C. Lockhart, Raleigh, chair- j
man; W. A. Graham. Kinston; R
G. Fitzgerald, Greenville; C. A.
Teague. Sanford; B C. Sirke. Ken
ansville; K. J. Cothrane, Roanoke
Rapids; N. F. Stippe, Marion; An
nie Cherry, Halifax county: Bennie

- OPEN OCT. 21!
^.arge Purses Are Offered—Auto
mobile Races To Feature Every
Day Of Fair.
Raleigh. Oct. 9.- While it is gen
erally conceded that the new mam
moth North Carolina state tair will
open here with a bang on October
22. opening day as well as closing
day. will be accompanied by the
' foar of nearly a score Of racing cars
piloted by the greatest celebrities of
American dirt tracks, who will be
seen in competition in seven races
cn each day. ttnder the direction,
and control of the contest hoard of
the Amrican Automobile associa
tion
Large purses have been the stim
ulant to attract a large and repres
'* entative field of entrants, and the
races over the new track, and the
most brilliant array of talent ever
seen outside of the speedways will
compete on the opening and clos
ing days.
Numb°red among the celebrities
is rob Robinson, the recognized
peer of all pilots over the half mile
ovals, and Robinson comes to Ra
leigh fresh from bis victories over
the eastern speedways, where he
has recently defeated Ralph De
Palma, the celebrated veteran of
twenty years competition, and Ray j
Kerch, the pres'nt holder of th«*
world’s record of 207.55 miles an
hour for straightaway speed made
j when he hurled h s Triplex over
the sands of Daytona Beach at that
unheard-of sp^ed. Robinson is no
respecter of competitors, and when
he gets his car away from the tape.
* it is a battle worth watching to see
him joeSiey for the leadin g position
end drive like a madman to hold
his mount in first place. Robinson
accumulated the greatest string of
victories during the 1927 season that
has ever been recorded in the A, A.
i A. annals, when out of a total of
33 races he finished first in 31 of
them. Strangely, he was beaten on
both occasions by a pilot who will
compete against him in the state
fair races—Doug Wallace of Chat
i tanooga, Tenn., one of the leading
figures of nationally known racing |
events, and as both of these boys j
are Southerners—Robinsons home!
is in Jacksonville, Fla.—the battle |
for supremacy between these two
should provide one of the features
'on the program that will be brim
ming over headliners.
“A Bit O’ Thought”
_ i
“Sunshine Givers.”
(By Lloyd Msuney.)
There are a certain people
That smile and cheer and bless,
And give the world it's sunshine
It's beauty and the rest.
There is a certain moment
When we shall meet these folks,
And listen to their planning
And share their cheerful jokes.
These people bring the sunshine
Into the weary soul,
They seem to work forever
Toward this one lone goal.
V call them “Sunshine Givers”
And long to hear their call.
They bring to us the pictu.e
Of Love and Peace for all.
They heed not sound of hardship
But work to win their goal,
They give to us as ever
The sunshine in their soul.
We need but work together
In time of need or pain,
And then we’ll heed the calling
And join the Sunshine Gan*.
