In Southern Education
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Nov. Gov.
Battle said yesterday that
Southern States are making an
almost phenomenal increase"
in educational improvements for
their public schools.
Mr.. Battle said he had taken
note of evidence of these i'm
provements during the Southern
Governors Conference, which
ended Wednesday at Hot
Springs. He said he was par
ticularly impressed with reports
from various States indicating

backward in education and are
now taking steps to remedy the
matter as quickly as possible" ;"
he said. This is particularly
true in the case of the Negro
schools"

Face Red!

-: any townspeople have no.
ticed my face is red along with
that of some % the town council
men this week, it can be attributed
to the Christmas light episode,
Mayor w. Horace Carter said this
week.
The town clerk told me and
the board that last years Christ
mas light bill amounted to $500
and l have repeated that figure
to several persons who asked about
the lights. | repeated the figure
in good faith and had no reason
to doubt it. However, it is now
apparent that the town clerk was
in gross error. The light bills do
not itcmiZe the cost of the Christ
mas lighting last year but in a
conversation with the power COM
pany office, | have found that the
bill last year was only $1,000"
Carter said today.
The town clerk did not delib-
erately spread this false informa-
ton. However, he had interpreted
an item simply listed as "other
charges" on an old bill as being
the Xmas light charges. Such was
not the case" the mayor said.
Il know that | owe Carolina
Power and Light Company an
apology along with those people
hom | have unconsciouSly mis-
led" Carter said" and l know that
the councilmen feel the same
way"
