STATE SCHOOL COMMISSION TO HEAR PETITIONS OF SCHOOL PATRONS TODAY Much Agitation About The Two-Mile Limit In Transportation North Carolina's State School Com-1 mission will find itself on a “two mile” spot when it meets here Thurs day. For some days now the commis sion’s ruling that no children living within two miles of a school could ride buses has been the center of a state-wide controversy and yester day a Forsyth County group announ ced it would carry its fight for trans portation for all school children di rectly to the Governor and to the Commission and would ask for a school holiday until the problem is settled. LeRoy Martin, executive secretary to the Commission admitted yester day that the 1933 school law did not prohibit the hauling of children who live within two miles of the school. “As a matter of fact, the law doesn’t say children living within that limit cannot be ridden to school. The law is written in the affirmative, saying the commission shall provide trans portation for children living two miles or more from the school. There are no funds available to provide transportation inside that limit,” Mr. Martin said. The Winston-Salem group, known as the Forsyth County School League on September 21 adopted a series of resolutions demanding that “all pub lic consolidated schools of rural For syth county be closed until transpor tation, is provided for all school chil dren desiring transportation. The resolutions also stated that such ac tion would be asked as of September 25—yesterday—but news dispatches from Winston-Salem last night indi cated that the step had not been taken. The League, through its president, C. Landis Stovall, presented Mr. Mar tin with a copy of the resolutions last week. Martin replied that he would present them to the Commis sion, adding that he felt sure the Commission would be glad to receive suggestions from the League as to how its program could be carried out with the limited funds available for school purposes. A delegation of three persons from Davidson county conferred with Mar tin yesterday regarding the two-mile situation in that County. The delega tion wanted permission to use buses to transport children living within 1.8 miles of school. , i The.delegation told Martin that the; highway over which children had to : walk to schools was a "spedway” for automobiles and said that use of buses would be advisable as a safety measure for the children. Martin said that .Davidson county was contemplating operation of a bus purchased by itself, hoping to secure the necessary funds from col lections on deliquent taxes. “Any county can follow that program if it desires,” Martin said. ’ Petitions have been received from a number of communities other than Forsyth, Martin said. Included are the folowing: Davidson County, asking that the smaler children be allowed to use buses. Durham County, asking that a one mile limit be fixed. Harnett County, asking a one and one-half mile limit. Vance County, asking a one-mile limit. Rockingham County, asking a one half mile limit. “Some of the petitions did not bear more than a dozen or so names” Mar tin declared. “Others, of course, are j more representative.” i Martin said he did not believe there would be many delegations present for the Commissioner’s meeting Thursday. “We already have all the facts,” he explained. BURLINGTON CLASSROOM TEACHERS ORGANIZE FOR IMPROVING CONDITIONS BURLINGTON, SEPT. 25—Organi zation of teachers became a factor in the State public school system, when classroom teachers of this city made public an agrement signed after a series of discussions as follows: “The classroom teachers of the Burlington school unit feeling the need of banding themselves together for the purpose of doing definite work i in an organized way, met in session and formed themselves into a work ing group to be known as the Class room Teachers of the Burlington School Unit. “The organization was perfected for the purpose of working toward the following objectives: "1. To seek to provide for them selves and their families such living conditions as will enable them to give of their best in service for the pro motion of the worthwhile education of the children entrusted to their care. “2. To work for the relief of the crowded and unhealthy conditions in the classrooms which make it impos sible to give adequate training to their pupils. “3. To appeal to the citizens of the district to help them bring about a more sympathetic and a closer rela tionship between patrons, teachers, and pupils. “4. To try and raise the standard of the school to such a high plane that it will be impossible for them to be domineered by a selfish and unsym pathetic minority. “The members of the organization realizing fully the handicaps under which they are forced to labor pledge themselves to give the children, in the classrooms, a square deal in so far as the circumstances justify.” Not Our Troubles —Miss Fowler, county nurse, has asked The Times to state that the case of typhoid fever reported from Vox, and near one of the county schools, became questioned locally. The typhoid vaccine clinics were held throughout the county, and the case reported in last week’s paper comesfrom Virginia.

In America, a pu blic works system has often been justly called a ‘pork barrel’ system. By this system each Congressman tried to get as large an appropriaiton j for his own district as possible, with- i out regard to whether the building, j harbors, os rivers improvements were j really necessary or desirable. No leg-; islator dared to object to the wasteful items of his colleagues for fear of im periling his own share of the gravy. Research men say that in the past a good half of our public appropriations has been wasted in this way. “In recent years a check has been put on such practices by requiring approval of a project by army engi neers or the head of the Federal de partment involved. But the essential evil of the pork barrel, which con sists of basing local appropriations for Federal public works on tempor ary or political advantage, instead of considering permanent national utili ty, remained until the dawn of the present public works program which was approved June 16, last. It is the greatest public works plan ever at tempted. “The idea back of this act, new in Dalton Warren Hardware Co.

V- ( Dalton Warren Hardware Company Sparta, - - North Carolina our national policy, is that Congress appropriate a lump sum and turn it over to the President, who, through a Public Works Administration, may spend it according to a natioanl need and a national plan. “This change is a revolutionary one. It si in line with what students of government have been urging for years. Whether we shall stick to the new policy in the future, or return to the pork barrel, depends upon how honestly, impartially, and ably the present fund is administered. “But the new policy does not change human nature. The appetite for pork, pampered for a century, cannot be legislated out of existence by an act of Congress.” Speaking Of Hogs, Hows This —Mr. A. L. Coomes, ox Ennice, has an unusual record in four brood sows on his place that have raised 34 pigs from a litter of 56 this fall. The pigs are now five weeks old.
