Winder and Barrow County
school officials feel that their
plan is as fair as any that can
be devised as they give every
child in the city and county
an opportunity to choose the
school they want to attend. Un
der the present system all stu
dents who live in Barrow Coun
ty or Winder in grades one
through eight may choose from
seven schools, in grades nine
through twelve they have a
choice of two high schools. But
HEW has determined Uiat no
plan is acceptable unless it
doe s away with the dual school
system completely, regardless
of the wishes of the children
or parents.
Notices of an opportunity for
a hearing on the charges have

to seek re-election, Mr. Chan-
ncll said he wanted it known now
in order to give anyone who in
tended to seek election plenty
of time to make liis plans and
announce. He said, “My deci
sion is based entirely upon per
sonnel considerations concern
ing my responsibilities to my
wife and children, my law part
ner and my self. Faced with
the choice of giving up entirely
the general practice of law or
giving up the possible opportun
ity to serve as Solicitor Gen
eral, I have concluded that 1
must do the latter.”

in Mayesville, Commerce and
