The young woman's mother, Mrs.
Florence Willgrass, came from
Norwich to be at her daughters

Mrs. Willgrass and Delcoure
then agreed the daughter and wife

Letters from the husband and
father-in-law in Norwich brought
news that he had found a job there

Among those signing this affida-
Wit were the mayor of Hudson,
members Of the town council, the
county accountant, chief of police,
and the tax collector.
A statement, prepared by Fritz
explaining his method of supple
menting teacher pay, was read to
the board by Max Wilson, Cald-
we'll attorney who introduced the
teacher salary increase Dill in re
House of the last legislature.
Acted Openly
Wilson repeatedly told the board
that Fritz acted "openly and
above board" and that his ac-
tons were familiar to County Su-
perintendent Robinson, teachers,
and others associated with the
schools.
He was followed by Judge Sam
Erwin Of Morganton, CORNER US.
Congressman and a member of
the legislature. Erwin also said
Fritz's actions were well known.
Following presentation of Fritz's
statement. Fritz and his attorneys
left. Considerable discussion fol-
lowed. D. Hiden Ramsey of Ashe-
vile, board member, refused to
vote Cor revoking the certificate,
saying, Fritz has been a gooa
school man professionally, and
am not willing for one offense,
so far as we know, to deprive
any man Of the right to earn his
living"
At the time, DR.. Erwin losed
this question to the board: Sup
pose we are not upheld? What will
be the effect on the board in the
long run? This is merely a ques-
ton on a matter of policy"
No Comment
When told of the boards action,
Fritz found in his hotel room had
one answer mo comment" to two
questions: do you have any
statement to make on the board
action?" and what do you plan
to do about your post as NCEA
PRESIDENT"
The NCEA bylaws have no pro-
visions for the removal of any o.
ficer for misfeasance.

also had mo comment" to make

CAMERAS DRAMATIC
GROWTH OF PLANTS

WINNETKA, III. W.D-Perfect-
ing a movie camera technique so
you can see flowers grow has been
a 20-year job for john N. OFT, Jr.
It's not a new trick. But OFT
has reached the stage where he
believes the one-time stunt can
be used by industry and science
on a big scale.
Pictures Of several plants can
be lined up side by side to COM
pare movements. You can study
the effects of heat, water, bacteria,
weed-killers and soil.
The idea is the reverse Of slow
motion movies. A plant is photo
graphed" few shots at a time over
a long period. When the strip is
run in a protector, you can see
the movements a plant makes
when it grows.
AS plants get bigger and sprout
in different directions, the cam
eras automatically follow them,
the way OF has them geaYed.

HOUSTON. Aug. 5.-[P-A Brit
ish war bride was enroute home
today-unaware that she is a vic
tim of a disease which doctors say
gives her only a few months to
live.
She is Mrs. Charles Billie Del
coure, the former Nina Maude
Willgrass of Norwich, England,
whose husband is an air forces
veteran who was stationed neal
her home while overseas.
Delcoure and his war bride and
their 4-month-old o left Houston's
Ellington field yesterday on an
army CAT on the first leg of the
long return trip to Norwich.
She doesn't know how serious
her condition is" a veteran ad-
ministration official who aided the
couple said today. Physicians
identified the disease as cancer.
Physicians advised against her
being told and her husband ar
ranged for the return to Norwich
after telling his wife he had a job
waiting for him there" the Off
cial, who declined to have his
name used, said.
After being advised that news
papers had published a story about
the couples departure, the VA
representative expressed concern
Mrs. Delcoure would learn the ma
ture of her illness.
Physicians said they didn't
know how she would react to such
information and advised strongly
against telling her" he said.
Delcoure, a sawmill worker at
Magnolia, Tex, brought his bride
to the United States shortly after
his discharge. The son was born
four months ago at a Conroe, Tex,
hospital.

tenn of payroll supplementing, ap-
pear before it at its September 4
meeting, and answer charges in
the record Of the investigation.
Fourth Resolution
Fourth and final resolution Of
fered by the board was that the
findings, special audit of the
school accounts, affidavits and
testimony be given the office or
the state attorney general for sucl
action as ''necessary.'
Meanwhile, considerable doubt
as to the legality of board action
in revoking Fritz's certificate ex-
listed in the attorney generals Of
flee and in educational circles.
State Attorney General Harry
Mcmillan said today that he could
find no expressed provision in the
general statutes Of the state au-
thorizing the State Board of Ed
ucation authority to revoke certifi-
Gates which it alone car issue.
This authority rests with the
State Superintendent of Public In
s~truction, DR.. Clyde Erwin. But
even this is restricted.
Initiating action must come
from a district school committee
or from the board of trustees of
a city administration unit. They
have the right under law to dis
miss a teacher or principal for
Immoral or disreputable conduct
in the community, or for failure
to comply with the provisions Of
a contract"
Legal Ruling
Approval Of dismissal must
come from the county OF city sup
erintendent of schools, whose au-
thority is vested on approval of a
committee or board of trustees.
Then the state superintendent has
the right to revoke the certificate.
Such a circuitous routing Of a
petition for dismissal might not
occure in the Fritz case. Many
leaders in his community signed
a petition which was offered to-
day in an affidavit, and these
leaders asked the board to take
no action. They said Fritz haG
conducted the Hudson schools in
an deficient manner" since his
taking over in 1885. And his loss
