Just how much tobacco will be

was every reason to believe that
IL would be the best season from
poundage standpoint in the last
three or four years and Nigh. be
second only to 1916 when more
IMAM ten million pounds were sold
on the Tabor City market.
From a strictly average price

his desire to see the program car

ing to drop sponsorship of the
troop temporarily until another
scoutmaster could be procured.

recent Boy Scout Jamboree which
was held near Los Angeles, Cali
fronia. "Boys from all over the
United States and soma foreign
met each other and
learned how to live together on
the Jamboree," said Cornwall in
pointing out one of the many as
sets of scouting.
Bowers explained the purpose
and need for a successful Boy
Scout Fund Campaign which will
be waged in the very near future.
He called on the club to aid in
the funds in Tabor City.

Conani Text Cited In Support
Of Horny County Jr. College

Support for community junior
colleges has been presented to
Horny County by J. K. East, di-
rector of instruction. in the form
of a book review.
DR.. James Conant, former pres
ident of Harvard UnisveSity and
now a special envoy to Germany.
IN his recent book Education and
Liberty" came out with the re-
commentator that junior colleges
Oc established through America as
an extension of a comprehensive
high school program. The 18th and
l4th years of schooling, or junior
college, will not only tend to edu-
cate more citizens but will give
the senior colleges and universities
an opportunity to tighten the belt
for stranger liberal arts program
This is the argument of Horny
County advocates. The junior
college idea Is designed TO pro-
vide college training for 75G,
Of the county's senior high
schools not able to attend higher
Institutions elsewhere.
AT = recent meeting the County
Board of the Dept. of Education
was requested to secure all infor-
nation possible on the proposed
collefs and prepare a report TO
the p bile as well as the County
BoarC
DR.. Commits program for the
future has been outlined by Mr..
East in ten Categorics. They arc
presented with the footncte: With
in a few years the number of ado
lescants in this country will be
500, greater than the present. Dr..
Conant'S program looks forward
to that emergency.
The ten-point outline:
CD We do not expand our four
ycai colleges either as to number
or as to size.

counter Rockingham in the sea-

The Red Devils will be relying
On several inexperienced players
in the line to fill the vacancies
created last year when several top
notch players were lost via the
graduation route.
Caruso will find a team with
an exceptionally strong backfield
but the depth in the line will be
missing. If the inexperienced
players live up to preseason ex-
pectations the season should be a
highly successful one.
The backfield is loaded with
talent and poses scoring threat
to all corners. Sam Walden, side
lined Tor the first part of the pre-
season sessions, is back in the
swing of things and will be the
field general for the local team as
ne operates from the quarterback
slot. He will be called on for
triple servicc-r inning, passing
and punting. \ veteran - three
years varsity experience, Walden
IS touted highly as All-Confcrcnce
material.
Other backficld men equally as
capable of performing their duties
are Captain Weldon Gore, the
speed merchant of the organiza-
ton, Sammy Rogers, Jerry Cart
rette, and Ben Spivey.
Veterans in the line are Sonny
Sanders, six foot five inches 1875

to do a large share of the pass

This school fight started back in
September 27, 1851, when DR.. r.
B. Phillips, then president of the
local branch of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of
Colored People, filed suit in behalf
of the association, against this
school board, when it refused, to
admit Negro students to white
schools; stating, "The action of the
school board has given us no al
tentative"
The case was first heard on Feo-
ruary 3, 1852 in Judge David w.
Ling's Federal District Court, but
was postponed to the following
Monday, after three-judge court
declined to accept jurisdiction in
the cases.
Judge Ling heard the case ar
gued by attorneys Loren Miller of
Los Angeles and Bill Mahoney of
Phoenix, which was taken under
advisement by the Judge and later
ruled that the case was one for the
lower courts to decide.
The case is still pending in State

SEGREGATION ABOLISHED IN HIGH
SCHOOL BY CITY SCHOOL BOARD
Motion to Desegregote Carried
Three to Two. Dr.. Norman Ross and
Joy HYDE Abstoined from VOTING

A historical meeting of the
Phoenix High School and College
Board, which met Tuesday eve
ming on the Phoenix College cam
pus, brought to an end the long
fight to integrate white and Negro
students in Phoenix High Schools.
The board voted to open, come
September, all the districts high
schools to all high school students
regardless of race.
The motion, when made by
Frank Haze Burch, to change
Phoenix long standing school pol
icy, was supported by Mrs. F. A.
Bons, who has constantly advo-
Gated desegregation, and DR.. Trevor
Brown the boards president The
other two members refused to vote
for or against. According to re-
ports, this is their reason for not
voting: Mr.. Jay Hyde said, II will
not vote against your motion be-
cause l think it is morally sound.
1 will not vote for it because I re-
sent being made the scapegoat of
other government agencies that
should have solved this problem,
and instead have constantly by
passed it," DR.. Norman j. Ross
said, II am not going to vote be-
cause don't have enough informa-
ton to know how to represent the
people of the district on this ISSUE"
Further arguments by the two
dissenters, Mr.. Hyde and DR.. Ross,
in refusing to vote for the change,
were in effect they urged other
board members to wait for a deci-
sion by the state supreme court on
the constitutionality of the law
pertaining to segregation in
schools
They further claimed that end
ing of segregation might force
Negro students out of school, con-
tending that, the pace has already
been set in the white high schools
and that Carver students might not
be able to keep up, thus making it
difficult for them to continue their
studies.
