Will WES SHOULD BE
USED FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES
f' ■=
The people of Bryan county
should pet behind the school au
thorties and get them to make
neceessa’T arrangements and i ay
the drivers of the various school
busses enough money so that the
school trucks would on'y be used
to carry the children back and to
school.
We understand that the scho< 1
trustees in the 20th, Distiict re
move the school bus bodies from
the trucks when school is over,
and do not allow them to be used
for any other purpose. 1 hat is
right.
But the school buses we are
talking about are those used in
and around Pembroke
We understand that the drivers
receive such a small amount of
monev until they have to use
their trucks for any and every
thing in order to get by.
In fact, one of our school buses!
in Pemcroke is used for every- I
thing from a trash wagon to a col
ored hearse, it will take a bunch
of negroes across tire country at
night and haul the white children
next morning. It hauls the trash
off the atreeg of Pembroke in the
evening and the kids next mom ;
ing.
No one is to blame for this but I
the school trustees. They should !
pay the proper amount for thi*
service and eliminate all this side
work with the school buses.
The children that have to ride
these buses are entitled to b^ttc.
treatment than they are getting

Screw Worm Has
Arrived in Bryan
; '1 he people cf this section have
! been hearing ab?ut the famous
(screw worm. Wei) it has arrived
lm Bryan, and is playing havoc
i with the cattle in this section.
I With the large number of cattle
I that run wild in this county it is
proving to be quite a problem to
handle. Where it is possible to
treat the cattle is has been found
that they could be i-uccessfuliy
c<.inbatted but in Bryan county
we have thr-usand of cattle that
■ are practically impossible to
round up to trial which makes
the job a much bigger one here.
Congress nan parker is on the
job and is endeavoring to secure
Federal Aid in the fight on the
screw worm. The people of the
First District can rest assured
that our Congressman will do
everything in his power to secure
I assistance,
