Jo* Lanier Son i -< Opinions are like some other things. Most people hgve at least one. My opinion on the school delay is that it should have been. The schools are just before asking Duplin County citizenry to sacrifice half-a-cent on each dollar they spend so the schools can have more money, rhe schools are already sucking up like a giant?vacuum cleaner the largest single portion ot the Duplin County tax dollar. In ever state in the union, in every district,, in every study, it is always'the same. "More money (foes not make a better educated child." But ? I am getting off the point. The point is. .' .oerhaos it would have been good public relations to delay school to show the schools really do have the community in mind. . .The community is in trouble as the tobacco crop is the latest gve'r. .the weather advisors say August is to be hot and humid.. .So, air conditioners in those schools that hgve them will be running'at full capacity, using lots of electrjcity, . .Lots of electricity costs lots"of money ? money that would be used to heat these same schools this winter. . .Those school rooms that are not air conditioned ? Wow! As I heard the possibility of closing discussed, here is what I heard from each* member *. . .beginning, left to_,right. . .Jimmy Strickland. . .We should delay school opening so those working tobacco fields can continue to help the farmers. After all. we are a farming community. . . .Bill Richards - Well, it will mess ud taster.vacation. . . Carl Pate - If we delay the opening, football will begin before school opens. . .Riddick Wilkins - I think there are more loafing the streets than are working tobacco. . . .Joe Swinson - The crop is behind all over the county. . . .L.S. Guy - The schools are big business. If you delay the schools, we may mess up our alloted snow days and move teacher workdays ahead so they will not have as many holidays or workdays during the school year. . . .This was one time they could have acted like a school board and it appeared to me they were more interested in their personal feelings. .. So, schools will begin as scheduled August 22. The farmers, as always, will have to make out the best way they can. When the complaint is raised again ? "Farmers are not hiring school students for field work like they used to ? they are importing migrants," ? I guess we might remember this and say, "Well, what do you expect.'" We all know when a farmer must do his thing, he must d<? it. It does not wait, as somethings could. ***** Remember, if the half-cent sales tax becomes a reality in Duplin County, boycott those counties that do not ioin in. Spend your money in those counties that will help Duplin. Don't forget the meeting on the'sales tax proposal August 23 at 8 p.m. at the Courthouse. It is being held for your . input ? whether you favor it or are against it. . .
