This is not a political question or a political election. Surely no one can have a selfish interest in wanting to deprive the children of this County of a decent place in which to receive their education. Here is an opportunity for you to do your part to improve the education of your children and other children of our County. Some people may think it strange that I, in my capac ity as president of Ecusta, should be so interested in public schools and education. The answer is this: I ber lieve free education for all the people, through our pub lic schools, is one of the finest institutions in our Ameri can form of Government. To my mind, it is one of the reasons why the United States is the greatest nation on earth. It is a part of our democracy, and its results speak for themselves. By far the great majority of our presi dents, statesmen, professional men and women, leading business men and agriculturalists received the founda tion for their success in life from our public school sys tem. Should this bond issue fail of passage, it would result in putting the children of Transylvania County at a dis advantage as compared with children of other counties. This our children do not deserve, and such a condition you should not permit to exist. We should strive to make our citizens of tomorrow better than those of today, i urge you to give the children of Transylvania County this chance and opportunity, and to vote for better school buildings in this County.

In order to replace this building, about five years ago the county began to set aside funds for this purpose. At the present time almost one hundred thousand dollars is available. As soon as the overall county-wide building program can be started this money will go toward rebuilding our col ored school. In view of the fact that over the past five years the county has made provision for constructing a Colored school, none of the funds derived from the School Bond Is sue will have to bo used for this purpose. ECUSTA MOVIE TO (Continued From Page One) then for the huge task of cutting and editing of the film as well as for the preparation of the story continuity and background of sound effects. The story begins before World War II and brings out the fact that at that time all cigarette paper was made in France and that with the possibility of a war, the neces sity of finding another source of supply was imperative. It also tells of the heart-breaking struggle to find a way to manufacture cigar ette paper from flax instead of from old linen rags and the final success of this method. Following this was the need to find a proper location for the new mill where there would be an adequate sup ply of pure water available at all times. Gorgeous pictures are shown of flax fields, our water supply and of the operation of our plant in the manufacture of the fine Ecusta cigarette paper. Following the pictures of the plant the balance of the film shows scenes of Ecustans at play and portrays many of the activi ties carried on by Ecustans. The purpose behind the great amount of work that hast gone into the making of this film is so the thousands of people who are in terested in Ecusta and in the fine products it manufactures can have an opportunity to see first hand, our plant, its people, and how we operate. So many requests have been re ceived during the past few years for information about Ecusta from various people and publications from all over the country, that it was decided to make this movie as a means of answering their many inquiries. As soon as sufficient copies of the film are made it is expected that we will make the movie available to the many groups who have indicated their interest. voting place near B. A.
