j Superintendent Walker Talks Of
Schools To Worthwhile Club Women
Mr. W. Howard Walker, sup
erintendent of Watauga County
Schools, addressed Jhe Boone
Worthwhile Woman's Club at its
gerneral meeting last Thursday,
in the Baptist Church. His sub
ject was "The Needs of Watauga
County Schools." He showed
photographs of the beautiful new
consolidated school buildings now
completed, Green Valley school
a year ago. Parkway school last
fall, in each of our eight school
districts.
Since the building program be
gan soon after 1934, the first was
built, like Blowing Rock and Be
thel, are again in need of atten
tion. Many need cafeterias and
playgrounds, a library and room
for visual aids. He stressed the
need for an attendance officer.
Many wealthier counties in the
State and many-cities supplement
the salaries of their teachers, Mr.
Walker said.
In training and grade ot cer
tificate, Watauga county teachers
now rate with the best in the
State ? in 1926, it rated 92nd, In
1934, eleventh. How long can the
county hold the teachers without
supplement? Mr. Walker asked.
In 1953. only 17 cents of the tax
dollar was allowed for the
schools.
In .the discussion which follow
ed, the group felt that the citiz- ,
enry of the county, who them
selves attended the one-teacher
schools which were consolidated
feel these stone and brick schools
are ?astles, and our county com
missioners are always elected un
der the pledge of extreme econ
omy.
Then again the college, in our
Boone Demonstration school, and
the State and Federal agencies,
for all the others, have given us
these buildings, and our chief
contribution has been wise ad
ministration,' using our opportun
ities for betterment. We have
never had to adopt responsibility,
or to work for the improvements
ourselves, as we shall need to do
(in to future to maintain our gains,
! Superintendent Walker warned.

BREAKFAST TIPS ? "You
con't eat liko a bird and .work
like u horse." Scientific research
proven yon do n better job if you
eat a good breakfast every day.
So bje sure that everyone in your
family ? from grandpa to school
youngsters ? eats a good break
fast. They need it to do tht.'ir boat
work whether it's their brains or
their muscles they'll be using
Just any breakfast is not the
answer. Make it a good breakfast.
Include (1) fruit; (2) cereal or
bread, or both; (3) one or more of
these: milk, ham or other lean
meat (not bacon? that is classed
as fat, not meat); (4) coffee or
tea for adults, if they want it
The mornings ynu don't eat an
egg or some loan meat, be sure
to drink a glass of milk. These
protein foods help to keep up
your energy and stave off hunger
for a longer period of time.
The few minutes extra sleep
will not pay off the big dividends
that getting up in time to eat a
good breakfast will.
An easy way to poach Severn'
eggs at once is to break each egg
into a greased custard cup or
muffin tin in a pan containing ?
small amount of hot water. Covi "
pan with a lid of aluminum 'oil
so as to hold in steam. Cook on
top of stove or in the oven untl'
eggs are the firmness desired.
For an extra special breakfa-'t
make coffee cake ahead of time.
