New Rental System.
Laurens, Aug. 7,—At a conference
held Tuesday in the office of J. Le
roy Bums, superintendent of educa
tion, attended by the county board of
education and superintendents of the
•everal high schools in the county,
plans were mapped out for inaugu
rating the rental text book system
provided for. by an act of th« 1936
session of the general assembly. This
county, it was stated, had already
given ^ notice in Columbia , that it
would * operate under the system as
required by the law.
During the session Tuesday it was
pointed out that the burden of mak
ing the system effective will fall on
the school officials and teachers since
the five field workers provided fo^
in the law had been reduced to one.
“We shall have to assume this bur
den,” said Mr. Burns, “or the chil
dren of the coupty wilLlose the bene
fits of the rental law.” '
Under tne plan outlined at the
meeting, each high school 'of the
county ii| to be made a depository for
all its feeding schools, and in addi
tion another one is to be established
it the Poplar Springs school for the
benefit of children in .the extreme
western part of the county.
The list of the depcNiitory stations,
as announced after the meeting, was
as follows;

side resort in Norway. She became
an air enthusiast when she flew with
the pilot of the expedition to- rescue
Umberto Nobile, the explorer. She
also flew on a part of the journey to
the far north*^ to search for Andre,
the balloonist, who was lost in the
Arctic. Miss Jakobten has taken nu
