High federal participation was due to the high percentages of de- the ESEA appropriations, Na tional Defense Education Act funds for science, vocational prived families in the four coun ties. The total 1966-67 expenditure for current operating expenses of the public school system in North Carolina was $471,- 860,768.77, according to there- port compiled by W. W, Peek, director of Statii^lcal Services, from records submitted by all the superintendents. He warned against placing too much em phasis on the per pupil expendi ture, saying that this is not al ways a reliable indicator of the quality of education offered be cause there are too many var iable factors. For example, a rural school system showing a high expenditure per pupil may be spending a large portion of its funds on the transportation of pupils while a smaller and more urban system with less per pupil expenditures could be spending more on instructional services. In 1966-67 no county or city administrative unit in North Carolina spent, from all three sources combined, as much as the national average. “The real purpose of intelli gent conservation is simply to guard against willful waste so that future generations need not be handicapped by woeful want,*^ - John Hays Hammond, CCMPARISON OF DATA: 1966-67 and 1965-66 Per Cent 1965-66 1966-67 Increase Per Pupil - State $ 276.70 $ 292.18 5.6% Per Pupil - Federal 29.62 65.66 121.6% Per Pupil - Local 62.47 68.45 9,6% Per Pupil - Total 368.79 426.29 15.6% Percent State 75.1% 68,5% (Decrease) Percent Federal 8.0% 15.4% (Increase) Percent Local 16.9% 16.1% (Decrease) Cotton in crease yieids w P'“"rpen'.

CHEMAGRO CORPORATION MISSOURI 64120 WOODLAND - Postmaster General Lawrence F. O’Brien an nounced that a contract has been awarded to build a post office at Woodland. The building will be owned by John C. and Ruth M. White, 515 Hayes St., Ahoskie, who will lease it to the Post Office Department for 10 years with renewal op tions running through 20 years. It will be located on the east side of Main St., opposite Mulberry St, Preliminary estimates indi cate that the initial investment in the project will total approxi mately $48,125, This represents the lowest re sponsive bid of nine received by the department on a competitive basis. The new one-story building will be air - conditioned and offers more working room than the pres ent building. It will have an in terior space of 2,592 square feet, compared with a total of 1,397 square feet in the present build ing. The new post office is expected to be completed by approximately November 1, Space inthebuilding located on the south side of Main St. will then be abandoned for postal purposes. Postmaster General O’Brien explained that the additional space and equipment will mean greater efficiency in line with President Johnson’s directive to provide the best possible postal service at the least possible cost. Because the building will be privately owned, the land will stay on local tax rolls. The Post Office Department’s capital investment is limited primarily to postal equipment, Mr. O’Brien said, “The na tion is experiencing a dramatic expansion in mail volume and ser vices. Post office construction and remodeling are undertaken in areas showing the most urgent needs. “Our 40,000 postal locations will handle about 83 billion pieces of mail this year, an estimated loo billion pieces by 1976 and 139 billion pieces in 20 years. To handle this tremendous amount of mail, the department is ex panding its efforts to put mech anized tools into the hands of the nation’s postal workers in areas where it is economically justi fied.” War Still Gets Results JACKSON-Operation “Smash- Up” was termed a success by those participating in a week-loiig intensified war on illegal liquor stills in Northampton County last week, A total of 8,750 gallons of mash, 32 1/2 gallons of non- taxpaid whiskey and other equip ment was either confiscated or destroyed and two men were ar rested, Harold W. Smith of Como and Edward L. Garris of Boykins were arrested during the week at liquor still sites and were arraigned before a U.S. Com missioner and bound over for court action under bond. Working in the week-long op eration were Ewell Pearce, Northampton County ABC ofiicer, special agents of the ATU divi sion of the federal government and ABC officers from Halifax, Wilson and Bertie Counties. The special agents involved men from Elizabeth City, Wil liams ton, New Bern, Rocky Mount, Raleigh and Fayetteville, consisting of seven teams of men. Also seized in the smash-ups were 960 pounds of sugar. In addition to the destroying of upright boilers, tanks and vats, the group also confiscated water pumps, half-gallon jars and flexi ble hose pipe, Pearce said the illegal stills had a combined total capacity of over 15,000 gallons of mash and at full operation they could produce 2,500 gallons of whiskey per week - which would have been about $36,000 worth and repre sented a federal tax fraud of $22,000 and another tax loss to the state of $3,300 per week.
