nounced today. The school has an en-
rollment of approximately 800 chill

In addition, two teachers were alb

year. The Henderson high school was
the first to close, suspending two

lowed by Zeb Vance, Aycock and

Several Names Men
toned as Possible Op-
ponents of Mayor
Powell; Terms o f
Half of CounciEraen
Expire Same Time as
Mayors

Just ten weeks from next IT, S.
day, or on May 2, voters of IIender-
son will go to the polls to elect a
mayor for the following two years.
At the same time they will elect four
new members Of the City Council,
one from each of the four city
wards, and all Of them will assume
their duties the first Monday in
June at p. m.
Mayor Henry t. Powell is round
ing out his first two-ye2r term as
the city's chief executive, and is gen
orally expected to stand for re-eicc-
ton. The four altermen whose terms
expire are j. w. Gill in the first
ward; D c. Loughlin in the second;
F. p. Hight in the third and c. M.
Hight in the fourth.
Just how many, if any opponents
will enter the contest against the
mayor is as yet entirely uncertain,
but number have been mentioned
in that connection. One of these is
G.. l.. Finch, who on previous oc-
casionS has been talked for the place
He has made no public statement as

councilmen whose terms expire this
June will seek reelection.
But with the election drawing near
and with spring just around the ccT-
ner, municipal politics wall be NEE
ard more in the minds of citizens,
with a definite lineup in candidates
,n"rinr later. No formal announce
ments are expected, however, IN
