Local 347 was the only U.S. union to receive a gift from a foreign government in recognition of these contributions.

Flinn Sees Savings If Kanawha County Integrates Schools

Supt. Virgil L. Flinn argues that early racial integration in Kanawha County schools could cut about a quarter of a million dollars from the annual new money need for the 1964-55 term. He cautions that full integration by September is unlikely and that a new redistricting plan is essential before progress can be made. A single bus system for both races could yield early savings, while eliminating marginal dual-system schools depends on redistricting.
