Former Dean Of Women Will Visit Morehead The bridges on ' Lower Lick Fork were washed out due to the iligh waters Mo~day aft~rnoon, preventing the Craney ' teacher, Leo Ball, from reaching his school Tuesday. This creates an emer-gency, ,due to the fact, since the bridges are out, people , cannot even get to a doctor in ' case of sickness. Something should be done immediately to relieve this situation. The number of children in the cens'.lS this year is 2,22~. This is an increase of 104 over last year. We have every reason to belie~e the em'oll-ment will be far greater than last year. The NYA boys, under the su· pervision of .chas. E. Jennings, are making many needed repairs to the Rowan County School buildings and grounds. They have been cleaning flooded school-houses, wells, putting in windows and window lights, oiling 'floors, and in general getting the school-houses in a sanitary condition for the scilool children. They have al-so been salvaging lumber from the three schoolhouses that were wash-ed away and wrecked by the flood July 5.
