BARREN' ENFIELD As an aftermath of a Civil Rights struggle in this pea nut capital which has been plagued with much racial unrest for two years, finally culminating in the dismissal of one teacher from the staff of the Thomas S. Inborden High and Elementary School, there has been much unrest among the patrons regarding what some term the lessening of the quality of the education being given in some sub jects. Following the firing of Mrs. Wills Cofield Johnson after 12 years as head of the English Dept., citizens complain that one or two substitutes have been employed to instruct the student in that vital course.

Public Safety Director Wil- | non Baker said the injunction, issued last July, was removed i from state Jurisdiction and plated in federal court by a Justice Department suit against city and county officials.
