Section 1 the Coastal Plains, such a *> pea- j nuts and tobacco. Mr. Hewlitt! stated that this interdependence! creates markets for products | within the State. He stated that a Wj«’-vt«vr Ms to 'earn this d't-j tern of interdependence for he is; i-alied to decide matters that are not related to his home region at all. Mr. Hewlitt stated that, each sect'on levn’n? about e?c v > ] other will make the future of, the State a glorious one. Drawing on his background i i •he State Legislature, Mr. Hew litt discussed some of the prob lems facing North Carolina. “Without an educated popula tion. you are without a future.” he stated. He cited a visit to the Philippines he had made af ter World War 11, and observing them efforts to have a democracy with an uneducated populace. Mr. Hewlitt reminded his listen ers that “just to keep up is a tremendous job.” He told his audience that North Carolina has about 20,060 additional s Nool children each vear. wlroh routes "coessary about 800 to 1,000 ad ditional class rooms, not to mon ‘;on teachers. But rather than lust keening up, he pointed out.' North Carolina must go forward in the realm of education. He pointed out some of the efforts made by the 1957 legislature in the realm of education. One ws the rroerarn for mentallv retarded children, who are con sidered trainahle: another was •he program of community col 'eges, which makes higher edu cation possible for persons who are not able to attend colleges 'wsv p-om thrir home. Another ~*udv being made concerns us ing 9phool facilit'es diming the ’? months of a year, and another ’tudy is being made concernin'* -he merit system for teachers. The sneaker injected his person al opinion in this matter, stat mg, “I don’t know any teff de vised to measure the concern of a teacher for pupils.” A study is also being made concerning the talented student, in order that the particularly talented student can be educat ed to his maximum potential. “These are just beginnings,” stated Mr. Hewlitt. Also the State Board of Education is mak ing a study of school curricula. “We should keep our focus on the child and his need, and help him realize his full potential. The State must see that the stu dent has the facilities to meet lis potential whether it be teach er, doctor, or other profession. We must inculcate in our chil iren a desire to know. It is the duty of North Carolina to go forward in education, but always with the focus on the child and vs: need,” declared Mr. Hewlitt. Another need discussed by Mr. 'dewhtt concerned agriculture. He pointed out that 28% of our People earn all or a part of its, income from farming. He stress d that the State has a duty to go forward in the realm of agri culture as in industry. “We must provide a healthy climate f or agriculture,” he said. Mar keting is one item mentioned by Hewlitt, who admitted that the subject was hard to deal with but easy to talk about. He pointed out that we in North Carolina live in an area within a range of 41% of the nation’s copulation, but furnish only 3.3% of the products to feed that pop ulation.. “We must go forward in trying to see tha wte get our share of this market.” he stated. Mr. Hewlitt stated that North Craolina has a very low per capita income, especially east of Raleigh, but that this fact is re ceiving the attention of the In dustrial Commission. He empha sized that small towns in East ern Carolina need industry to employ the overage from farms. “This drive for industry in the eastern part of the State needs to be carried on with enthusi asm,” ,he stated, pointing out thak when our people are mak ing money, the whole economy feels it. He stressed that we must go forward in all of these realms, but with responsibility. “Th-H is our past; it should be our future,” he stated. “Our greatest need,” he s’at ed, “is that our cbizens con tinue to take an active interest in affairs of Government.” He pointed out that the cost of State government is about sl,- 200,000,000 including the federal portion. ‘"Diat shows the fi nancial magnitude of the State,” he. said, ‘Tmt the financial side is not all: it calls for action and continued of all citizens; nnlv in that w**y •cap we go forward and realize our full po tential; if do th<s we can THE CHOWAN HERALD.
