ADAM KENDRICK, JR.
LANDS SOME BIG ONES

Adam Kendrick, Jr., son of the
late Adam Kendrick of Freezing,
modestly claims the distinction OF
having hooked the most fish of
large size of any fisherman in
his section during the present
fishing season.
Among his catches, he num-
bers many catfish of unusually
large size, as we'll as some of the
largest rock bass. His latest catch
was a 3O-inch cat a few nights
ago.
The secret of his success is his
patience. perhaps fishing for
hours without a nibble at his line
and then suddenly being reward
ed by hooking a large fish.

Poll Tax List
Largest In History
Of County

Printing of the poll tax list for
Dickinson County for the current
year is nearing completion and
will soon be ready for posting at
the various voting precincts.
The poll tax list for this year
contains near 5000 names, the
largest in the history Of the
county.
Democratic candidates say
that a check-up shows that near
ly 700 persons whose poll taxes
were paid and for which the
Would-be voters have receipts
have been left off the list. 1t is
understood that they will start
legal action as soon as the list is
posted, asking that those left off
the certified list be placed on the
corrected list.
Treasurer McFall, on the other
hand, says that in making up the
list he rigidly complied with the
law, placing the names of only
those believed to have paid their
poll taxes personally out of their
own funds on the list.
It is pretty certain that htiga-
ton over this matter will con-
tinue for several weeks.

All County
Schools to Open
Next Week

Practically all schools in the
county opened this week with the
exception of the local high school
and other small schools served
by the buses operating in this
section. 1t is thought by school
officials that all schools in the
county will be ready and open
for work Aug 9th. provided 9TH
er vacancies do not occur by the
date D.M.H.S. is definitely sche-
duled to open on Aug. 9.
Reports from adjoining coun-
ties indicate that scheel superin-
tendents are experiencing as
much or more difficulty in secur
ing teachers as local authorities.
At the meeting Of the school
board here today, routine bust
ness was handled chiefly by the
board. Several requests for addi-
tional transportation routes were
through necessity not established
by the school board. A ruling
from the office of defense trans
portation prohibits school boards
from extending any route or adj
ding mileage to any route al
ready established. 1t is the re-
quest of this governmental ag-
ency that bus routes are to be
shortened wherever possible.
Paul w. Skeen, principal of the
local high school, was granted a
leave of absence for the duration.
He reports to Camp Lee on Aug.
81. Until such time as a princi-
pal may be secured the board all
thorized the supt of schools to
assume these extra duties If per
mission could be secured from
the State Department of Educa-
ton. Pending such permission,
James NJ. Skeen will be in
charge when the school opens
next Monday. Other members of

tive Service headquarters called on
local draft boards in Virginia yes
terday to deliver for induction dur
ing October every known available
Ia nonfather" and after that to
complete their October quotas with
pre-Pearl Harbor fathers.
Indications are that practically
every board in the State would have
to call some pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers to comply with the october
quota.
Some local boards, after the initial
calls. we're led to- believe they could
get through october without calling
fathers, but it appears that local
boards have not yet had their total

The November call has been re-
