viii Not be Announced For
Several Days Yet.

The work of collecting in the bal
lots given the children by every
teacher in the public schools OF
Brunswick, has been in progress since
yesterday and by the end OF the week
1t is likely thta all will be in. Then
consolidation and counting will be
held by Representatives of the Board
of Education and after totalling the
result will be announced.
From Indications those who favor
one session will be in the lead by a
large majority. While there has been
no count made up to the present, it
is understood that, judging from COM
munity conversations, those who
want the two sessions continued will
be In the minority.
The announcing of the result does
not mean that the session will be
changed at once. 1t will require sew.
eral days in which to regulate affairs
in the school rooms to meet changed
conditions. but II viii be effective as
early as possible and It IN to be hoped
that in whatever way the question Is
Settled, 1t win end 1t "for good and

PROBABLE STRIKE
STOPS FLORIDA TRIP
Number Desired May Have Been
Secured, But Unsettled Con-
ditions at Present Caused a
Postponement OF Journey to
a Later Date.

While it may be true that a sufi-
eient number could have been seeur-
ed to make the proposed motorcade to
Florida points success, after mature
consideration on the part Of those
who had assisted Constant Miller
in the movement. 1t was decided yes
terday to call the trip off for the time
being, at least.
The impending strike, wn.ca is sure
to affect every part OF the country, Is
the first reason why 1t was thought
best to wait awhile. II has been ar
gued all along that the middle or lat
ter part of November would be the
best season for the trip and II Is like
ly that date will be announced later
on.
In the meantime. Managing Secre-
tary Fred G. warde, OF the Brunswick
Board of Trade. has written letters
of thanks TO all of lthe cities and
towns which wereyto have been visit
ed by the local party. Several OF
these had arrange for elaborate pro-
grams and entertainment or big.
scale. and these were especially told
of how much their cordial invitations
and preparations had been appreciat-
ed.
One thing has resulted from the
motorcade agitation and that Is a
closer relationship between Drums
wick and numerous Florida cities and
towns.
