The Student Council is still working on a seal to be proposed as standard for NCHS. The im portance of such a symbol is so great that the choice takes time. With basketball ending and spring weather appearing a day or two now and then, the track season will soon get under way. Bennett Bryant, NCHS senior, constructed a snowman during the recent abundance of the white precipitation that could be called the “biggest” in the county. His “abominable snowman” stood 10 feet tall, four feet across the chest, and two and one-half feet from front to back.

AT THE Courthouse in Jackson, N. C. For the purpose of hearing complaints as to the value of real estate for tax purposes. All property owners who have complaints will please file same on or before Mon day, March 1 . 1966. MELVIN C. HOLMES Tax Supervisor By EULA N. GREENWOOD INTO SUMMER. . .Although the State requires 180days of school - nine months, 20 days per month - each term, some systems fear they may not make it this year. Scattered schools, mostly from Wilkes County west, have been closed for about 20 days, or a solid month. Reports reaching Raleigh are that a few have missed more than a month. So, knee-deep into June they go-andSaturdays, too - in an effort to get In the required time. But we have snows and bad weather on Saturday, too, so don't be surprised if wecome up lacking here and there on 180 FULL days. BABY BOOM SUBSIDES. , ,A few years ago it appeared this State would never be able to have sufficient classroom space for the ever- swelling school population. In 1961, for example, there was seven per cent more students en rolled in North Carolina public schools than In the previous year. In 1962, we had nearly seven-and-a-half per cent more than in 1961. But now we are running less than one per cent gain over last year. VIET NAM, . .Note: Educators tell you off the record to keep an eye out for another good Increase in school population about 1971- 73. How and why? Additional marriages and babies in 1965 and 1966 to avoid the Viet Nam draft. These children will go marching off to school some five and six years hence. AND VOTE DRY. . .Raleigh does not rank anywhere near the na tional capital on per person drinking, but for a lowly State seat it never has taken a back seat. There are many parties here, not all of them Democratic, and cocktails are served before the big dinners. And, Increasingly we note, various types of wines are being served at some of the meals. At the receptions now, also, we see beer available for those who do not choose the whiskey route. Well, Will Rogers remarked about North Carolina some 35 years ago that we would vote dry as long as we could stagger to the polls. But we seem to be voting wetter and staggering less. At least we are certainly getting wetter, with about 70 per cent of us only a few blocks or a few miles from a whiskey store. THE RECIPE, . .Now for people, agencies, or other groups hav ing cocktail parties, the experts tell you just how to determine the amount of whiskey to buy. They say to figure on three drinks per person, as an average. Some will have four; a few will have two; and you might have about one out of 25 who is a teetotaler. You can get. It says here, 18 drinks per fifth. So if you have 100 people for a one-hour reception before dinner, you can figure on 300 drinks. Say 18 Into this, and you come up with the necessity for about 17 fifths of whiskey. Some will drink Scotch and some bourbon. The cost will average $5 per fifth, or a total cost of about $85 for the dinner. And this doesn’t include peanuts, popcorn, and potato chips. HARDEST PART. . .We hear from up in the hill country that Evangelist Billy Graham, despite some little bouts with bad health last year, Is continuing his vigorous exercise routines - every day and Sundays,too. He has been advised that this Is the best way to combat heart trou ble. The Rev. Mr. Graham warms upfor 15 minutes, and then really goes at It for two miles, much of it in a trot. Do you know what part of this daily program has given him the most trouble? Not the knee-bends, or the hills, or the push-ups. 'The hardest part,” he recently told friends, “was getting used to being stared at. ” And that, coming from a man who has probably been “stared at” more than any other man living, is quite a mouthful.
