Greensboro, N.C., Sept. 7 (AP)—Children attending the Sylvan High School at Snow Camp, Alamance County, carried their drinking water with them in jugs and bottles when the term was started this morning. This was in accordance with the request of school authorities who were forced to adopt this method or postpone school because the source of supply formerly used has been dry for some time as a result of the pronounced drought.
While the lack of rain is noticeable throughout this immediate section, it seems to be a little worse in and around Snow Camp than elsewhere. The bottom of many erstwhile streams are dry, springs and wells are likewise, and some of the big trees in the forests are dying.
