Thursday, December 23, 1962 Think Before Giving A Pet NEW YORK - Pets are among America’s most ill advised Christmas gifts. Soft eyed puppies, and frolicsome l| kittens, gleefully tumble in r pet shop windows. Hieir ap peal is tremendous. The sales are high. A month lata*, many of those same delightful animals will be cowering miserably in the cages of the local animal pound. Others will already be dead-unwanted and abandon ed to a bleak winter. . \ The simple point here is y that although many people find great happiness in giving a young animal as a Christmas gift, not everybody is so happy about receiving one. And it takes exceptional courage to reject the gift of a helpless, ribbon-festooned kit ten on Christmas morning. Usually, the animal is K received with gracious thanks M and then somehow disappears in a few weeks. Responsible people burdened with an animal they don’t really want take it to a responsible shelter. And shelters all over America have experienced a great population explosion during the weeks immediate ly after Christmas for many . decades now. r Humane jurisdictions re quire that animals in shelters be either adopted by new owners, or humanely euthanized. Other jurisdic tions also force animals to be funnelled off to experiment labs and other cruel ends. Anyone considering a gift of a living creature should also consider the following points: 1. Make absolutely sure the animal is wanted. If this means losing the joy of sur prise, so be it. Better no sur prise than risking tragedy with an animal’s life. . 2. Make absolutely sure the receiver is capable of giving the animal all the care and at tention it deserves. Too often, £ kittens gnd puppies are given to children who are wildly in fatuated about the pet, but are not mature enough to insure that the animal is properly tended. Also, “companion” animals arjjl riowTffSSjtfefifly given to oktepa paopfe who have neithef ÜBWengilkfeor the resources, to provide basic care for those pets. ) 3. If somebody you love really wants an animal, and is mature enough to provide it with good care and attention, why not agree between you to wait a few days, or weeks, after Christmas. Go shopping around the animal shelters in early January, and it’s likely you’ll find many appealing CHICKEN MANURE For Sale —Bag or bulk. Will consider delivery. Call Emmett Winborne • 221- 4204.

These are the cretures which keep the . pounds and shelters full the other eleven months of the year. Gifts From Heart < by Joan Gosper < N.C. State University 1 If your budget cannot possibly be stretched to buy t as many gifts as you would ] like, consider some nocost i gifts from the heart. If a little I thought is given the selection, < they will be greatly ■ appreciated. Give an “I Promise You Certificate,” good for some chore or service, suggests Dr. Thelma Hinson, extension specialist-in-charge of family resource management at North Carolina State' University. This is especially ap propriate for an elderly or housebound person who will appreciate the visit as much as the chore. You might want to offer to go shopping, drive the person to church or to the doctor’s office or to do household chores or make home repairs. Parents will also welcome a promise certificate good for free babysitting. Another gift possibility is the offer of special lessons. If gfcrdedlifg, bread baking, crafts or any other skills are among your talents, there are probably people on your shop ping list who would ap preciate lessons, Dr. Hinson suggests. Gifts can also be made of items around the home which are no longer being used. An older person on a fixed in come may find that the perfect gift for his or her child is an item of sentimental value. "Year Os The Public Schools” Governor James B. Hunt has proclaimed 1962-83 as the “Year of the Public Schools” in Noth Carolina. Public education has come a king way since the state’s first public schools were establish ed in 1766, and, according to the governor, deserve recognition for their many accomplishments. Today, some 2,030 elemen tary and secondary public schools serve more than a million students. North Carolina’s public school cur riculum has grown from in struction in the “3 R’s” to numerous courses concerning English, reading, math, science, social studies, foreign languages, cultural arts, physical education and vocational education. While still emphasizing the basics, today’s public schools teach students to drive a car, man the latest communications equipment, build a house, pro gram computers, etc. And, to day’s classrooms are open to everyone—the dis advantaged, the minority, the handicapped. A look at the past shows that most of the progress in public education has come during the Twentieth Cen tury.

THE CHOWAN HERALD system date back to 1766, the War Between the States in 1860 did much to destroy one Os the best educational systems In the South. During the period following the War until about 1900, the school system had to be reconstructed. During the first quarter of the Twentieth Century, education progressed rapidly. Many new buildings were constructed and old ones bet ter equipped. The Legislature authorized counties to issue local bonds for school con struction and also authorized rural high schools. In 1919, the minimum constitutional school term increased from four to six months. Legisla tion strengthened child labor laws and mandated com pulsory school attendance for children ages eight through twelve. Interest was raised fa* increasing educational op portunities for Negroes. Because of concern for teachers’ qualifications, legislation was passed to strengthen the state’s teacher training institutions. Teachers’ salaries increased and school administration improved. During the 1930’5, voca tional education was introduced in the state’s high schools. Legislation extended the school system’s codlgitege support. More and more children came to school on buses supported by public monies. During the Depres sion years, teachers’ salaries and other educational ex penses were reduced out of the need to cut state expen ditures; however, educational progress continued. In 1935, a plan established state tex tbook rental and, the follow ing year, provided free tex tbooks for elementary grades. Improvements continued into the 1940 s and further changes occurred in the school system. Legislation provided a retirement plan for state employees, including all public school personnel. Further changes increased the compulsory attendance age from 14 to 16, added the twelfth grade, extended the school term to nine months, and created the school lunch program. The State Board was authorized to use public funds for special education programs. During the second half of SOUTHEASTERN PROFESSIONAL COATINGS, INC.

In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against separation of races in public schools in Brown vs Board of Education of Topeka. The following year, the NC General Assembly passed the Pearsall Plan, a bill transferring the complete authority over enrollment and assignment of children in public schools and buses from the State Board of Education to county and city boards. In 1964, the national Civil Rights Act was passed prohibiting discrimination in public education. In the 1960’5, North Carolina implemented an ex perimental statewide pro gram termed the Comprehen sive School Improvement Project aimed at improving instruction at the primary level, with particular em phasis on language arts and arithmetic. The state includ ed high schools in the free textbook program.
