Sum Opens With l,20i \ A record-breaking enrollment. of 1243 EtudentK for the? ?fith I Summer School session at the A. and T. college was reported last week by officials at the college. While this figure represents the largest enrollment in the history of the program, the registration period is slated ,to con- . tinue for at least three* more days in order to accommodate teachers whose schools closed last week to enroll. This year's Summer School plan at A .and T.. falls for two ' five-week sessions rather than six-week sessions of previous years. Studepts will receive full credit for the summer program by-including Saturday classes for the two sessions allowing them to get in 12 full weeks of work in a period of 10 weeks. Th^ first session is scheduled to end on July 14; the second term, beginning July 15, will c.ontlnue through-August 18, as has been' announced by Dean "Warmoth T.

Survivors, other than his wife, are five children. imer Session 0 Enrollment outset the project, was largely a teacher-training plan with major activities pointed towards credit tor teacher certification. However, in recenj years the trend has been towards the workshop idea. Approximately 100 in-service teachers and principals are participating in the current educational workshop. These teachers have brought their specific problems growing out of their experiences for study, clarification and solution. BASEBALL CLEARED The suspicion that ^ big-time gamblers have been attempting to fix football games and boxing matches h$s caused the officials of baseball to redouble their determination to keep the game, above suspicion. Ford Frick, president of the National League, pointed out earlier this year that in seventy years of organized baseball, some 75,000 games have been play\d and that of 7,000 players. "onlA fourteen have ever been found\guilty of trying to throw or having knowledge of a thrown game . \ . and not a single umpire has\ever been accused of dlshonestjrvor found guilty of connivance.\ THE? E 01 MSBORO, N. C., SATURDAY, J toro Mure IS SLAIN >OWNING * / Taxi Cab Drivers Pay The Cost In Municipal Court Johnnie Prince Briggs, 100S Perkins street, switchboard op-, erator at McRae Taxi company. Monday was charged with costs in Municipal County court, along with three other McRae cab drivers, for careless and reckiess driving. Briggs, who is a brother-inlaw of Editor Johnson, of the FUTURE OUTLOOK, related his story as follows: He and the oilier drivers involved had been to take some of the Maco Beauty college students to*the residence of President E. D. London, where they were to be entertained by Mr. London. Thegirls, he said, were so gaily attired and gave them such a good time that theyj thought' they'd air out a little on Benbow- road. Briggs said he was driving the newest cab, so he was asked by the other drivers to take the lead, which he did at the rate of 60-75 miles per hour, until he saw a speed cop parked beside the'road underneath a tree, and tfho overtook him after he had slowed down to 45 miles per hour. The cop nabbed him, and Monday morning found them forking out eleven samolians in court. It would be beneficial, perhaps, to such drivers as these to read the back-page ad in theJune 14-21 issues of the Future Outlook, which might give them an idea of what this habit can, cost them. Such drivers not only endanger their own lives and the lives of passengers they carry, but also the lives of pedestrians. When a passenger engages a cab, it is with the confidence that the driver will use discretion in driving and deliver him safely to his destination. When we think of the large number of people dying from reckless driving, airplane crashes, -and violence, 4t behooves each of us to think on the way and to use every precaution to not only stay within the speed limits, but. to also be watchful of others on the streets and highways in order to cu.t down the rate of deaths caused from such mishaps. CORRECTED "Pass farther down the ,car, please," said, the conductor to an old man and a boy who had just entered.

William Miles. G4, janitor of Charles Moore School, was killed, apparently with a hammer or other heavy instrument 'around 7 a. m. on February 22, 1940," in the basement of the school. After trial in Guilford Superior Court, John Henry Gaston, who lived on N. Regan Street, was sentenced to life imprisonment at the .state penitentiary, Raleigh, but the man who allegedly was with him at the time of the murder, was not apprehended. Police wll seek to bring Davis back to Greensboro to stand trial on the murder count and also the cha.ge. Shortly after the mur der last year, local police put on record in FBI headquarters a description and fingerprints of Davis and it was through careful check of prints on persons jailed throughout the United States that the FBI was able to identify Davis as the man wanted in Greensboro, officers said.
