School Boards
Pass Resolution
At Joint Meeting

Following a ruling of the at.
torney general requiring school
children to attend the school in the
district in which they legally reside
the Mcdowell County Board OF
Education and members of the Ma.
rion City Board of school trustees
held a joint meeting to prepare a
resolution regarding this ruling.
The resolution provides that
school children shall attend the
school in the district in which they
legally reside except those students
who attend a school outside their
district prior to the school year
1946-47. It also states that ere
quests upon the State Board of
Education for pupil transfers shall
not be made or considered after the
close Of the school year 1946-1947.
According to the resolution a stu
dent who has attended school out
side his district during the past
school year may continue to attend
the same school for one more year.
It was explained that this enables
pupils who are seniors to graduate
with their. classes, and for any ad-
justment in courses of study that
may become necessary when chill
dren return to their home school.
The State Board of Education,
which has broad powers over school
is authorized under the
law, according to recent decision
of the attorney general, to require
school children to attend the school
in the district in which they legally
reside.
Following the attorney generals
ruling and regulation by the State
Board of Education it became nee
essary for the local school boards
to take joint action whereby school
children may continue for the pres
ent school year in the school in
which they had previously enrolled
if they so desire.

For Youth Foundation.

The date for the annual en-
ployer-employee banquet was Sc
for November 7, at a meeting Of
the Marion Merchants Association
last Thursday evening. The name
of the speaker for the occasion ane
other details of the entertainment
will be announced later, it was
stated.
A motion was also passed to dec
crate the business section of Mari
on with Christmas lights during the
holiday season.
Carl Whiteside, assistant county
farm agent, addressed the mer
chants on "The Mcdowell County
Youth Foundation. The purpose
of the foundation, as outlined by
the speaker is to place purebrec
cattle in this county. He pointed
out that one-half of the milk con-
sumed in Mcdowell county is pro.
duced in Wisconsin and stressed the
Importance of producing an ade.
quat supply in the county for the
need.
'Livestock farming is the most
profitable farming you can have,'
he said. He then proposed that
the Merchants Association purchase
a purebred calf to be placed with
a boy in the county, recommended
by the Mcdowell County Farm
Youth Foundation. with other
local clubs and organizations do
mating money with which to pur-
chase calves under this plan an
adequate supply of milk can be
furnished from purebred cattle,''
he said.
Following the address members
voted to donate $3.50 with which
to purchase a calf to be registered
in the name of the boy to whom
the calf will be assigned.
Under the Dairy Calf agreement
the foundation will purchase calves
with money appropriated by local
organizations and place each with
a boy approved by the foundation.
The boy appointed agrees to breed
heifer or COW as recommended by
the County Agent, Assistant Coun-
ty Agent or Agriculture Teacher,
and return the first female off
spring to the Foundation at the
age of four months, in good flesh
and we'll cared for and fed milk

vided, however, if the first two off

Clarence Smith
New Commander
Of State Guard
State Guard Will Be Reorpan-
lied To Conform With Ma
tional Requirements.

First Lieutenant Clarence O.
Smith was promoted to Captain
and assigned Company Commander
of the local contingent of the State
Guard last week He succeeds
Cecil B. Dobson.
Commander Smith announced that
the local organization will be COM
pletely organized with a view to
meeting the requirements of the
National Guard. He explained that
in order to meet the requirements
of the State Guard the local or
ganlzation must complete one stage
of work, but to meet National re-
quirements it will be necessary to
complete eight stages.
He believes reorganization and
becoming a part of the National
Guard will be definite asset to
Marion and Mcdowell county for
two reasons. He estimated that the
payroll under the national set-up
would total approximately $1,5OO
to $4,000 in a three month period,
thereby increasing the income of
the county. A National organiza-
ton is also permanent organiza-
ton.
In addition the local contingent
could be called out for any ma
tlonal emergency. In time of war
the national contingents are sub
ject to the President of the United
States as we'll as the State Cover
nor.
He said he will need men in the
age group of 1885 with prior ser
vice and men 20-35 without prior
service. He emphasized the i'm
portance of selecting men of good
Judgment and good character. -
The new Company Commander is
head of the spinning department of
the Marion Manufacturing COM
pany, and has been employed by
this company for the past 40 years.
During the first World War and
after he served in the U. S. Navy
for period of three and one-half
years. At the time of discharge he
was First Glass Petty Officer. Prior
to World War II he was a reserve
officer in the National Guard for
a period of Is years.
An inquiry by Smith regarding
the requirements necessary for the
local contingent to comply with ma
tional regulations brought the fol-
lowing reply from j. B. Nets, ad-
jutant general:
marion has shown such a splen-
did interest in the State Guard and
having expressed a desire for a
unit of the National Guard l am
counting on some type Of such Or
ganization for that community. 1t
is hoped that we will be in position
very soon to actually begin our
organization of these units in the
several communities in the state.''
Smith explained that at the end
of stage eight, the unit will be re-
quired to have it's complete author
lied strength, 1000 officers and
warrant officers and 500 enlisted
men.
'1t will be the policy of the State
to require that those units which
are provided a maximum strength
of less than 100 enlisted men, may
be initially organized for Federal
Recognition at strength of 80
men and those, the maximum
strength of which is to be over
100 EN-, at an initial strength of
40 EN-. This, that they may be
able to take over the functions Of
the State Guard unit, as a State
protective force and that the latter
may be relieved
