School Bus Row May Develop In Two Mile Ruling stair Commission Says Trucks Will Not Transport Students With in Two Miles. Cleveland county citizens were complaining today over the first mistake some believe they have found in the new state-wide eight months school set-up. That com plaint is heard from several sec tions of the county in connection with the ruling of the state school commission that school trucks will not transport children to and from school who live within a two mile radius of the school building. According to the ruling trucks may not pick up children within a distance of two miles even if the trucks are not loaded. Heretofore under the county system in force until the state took over all schools, trucks transported pupils who lived beyond a one and a half mile rad ius. Citizens and school patrons in quiring about the matter today were informed that it was not a local or county ruling but a strict regulation set up by the state school commis sion at its meeting in Raleigh. First complaint about the ruling was heard in this county due to the fact that Cleveland schools open Mon* day, or earlier than any others ir the state. J. H. Grigg. county superintend ent, who was in Raleigh the first part of the week about school affairs stated that he asked the secretary of the school commission about the bus ruling and if it would not be all right for a school truck to stop with in two miles of the building and P'rk up students if the truck was not loaded. He was told that such should not be done as the line had to be drawn somewhere, that vio atmg the ruling would lead to further stretching and violating and I _ at truck costs had to be cut down ! n ier the former county plan | ticks not. loaded stopped and pick-' up children within a hrie and a ah but they were not counted in e expense list for TnavoidaMe The state commission was quot'd 45 sa>''ng it regretted »o - aVe th' move but that the r.llov'\ transportation had been cut. ^» « fourth and that the more. - -;-s rot available for the expend1!!' ■ nf ®ore, and that therefore ;-o ‘He ruling was unavoidable.

States Will Brush Up Their Old Dry Laws If Repeal Goes Through Nullification Of National Prohibi tion Would Put Liquor Control! In Hands O* State Officials. Washington, July 21.—A lot of old liquor control laws that have been buried under the 18th amendment will be brought out and put into use again if national prohibition is discarded. Although Alabama and Arkfoa&s voted for repeal liquor could not be sold in either state legally even if the 18th amendment were already out of the constitution. The pair were dry before the Volstead act became effective. Dry they will re main after it has gone—unless they change state laws. Repeal would again leave to the individual states the question whether they want liquor sold. While they are making up their minds, those that were wet would remain wet the dry states dry. The federal laws affecting ship ment and taxes that were in effect before prohibition would automatic I ally go into effect if It were re ! pealed since they have never been i taken off the statue books. I Among them is the Webb-Kenyon J law prohibiting the shipment of liquor from wet to dry states. Under I this, the government co-operated : with the states in its enforcement.
