The school has steam heat, dome lights in the classrooms on the east side, floor to coiling windows on the west and an intercommunica tion system which enables contact with the main building. The school was built at a coat a i Congressman Oralun A. Har den, speaker at the afternoon Ded ication. told hit listeners that the United States has developed the greatest education lystem on the face of the earth. Tlut system u better than it ever has been "and we're going to want to make it even better with more equipment and more facilitiea." he declared. Referring to Newport's new ele mentary school, he said that the people should keep clearly in mind that taxpayers from all over the United States built the School "Any money spent wisely and hon estly for schools, public roads and hospitals are dollars the American people will never regret spending." he continued. Referring to a bill he haa intro duced to coordinate the federal government's education agencies, the congressman said that in get ting information preparatory to in troducing the bill it was learned that Uncle Sam spends four billion dollars annually In the field of ed ucation. He said it costs that much to run the nation's entire public educa tion system. The purpose of the bill is to coordinate those federal agencies with a view to cutting the cost. A champion of vocational educa tion, Congressman Barden said that he felt no one was educated until he learned how to earn a liv ing. He commended Newport on its vocational agriculture program supervised by C. S. Long. Branching into phases of other problems that confront the coun try, the congressman remarked that "swords are rattling all over the world" and he does not know what may be the outcome of the Indo-Chinese situation. It's a war in which this country has already become involved and ahould the United States have to embroil it self in another war, he said Con gress should be the body to say whether war shall be declared. He emphasized that voting for approximately $122,000 with $121, 000 U that cost met with federal funds. The balance is being paid by the county. PttjWLin grades 1 through 3 and In qttlfetiori of fourth g?a.1<*oc rupj iMieuilding. I war is a dirt responsibility on the Dart of a Congressman and that he does not consider such a duty a pleasure. He firmly staled that he does not want to see another war but i/ it must come, it should come only with the approval of Con gress the representatives of the people. "It may be a thin wall." the speaker remarked, "but Congress is the only thing that stands be tween us and dictatorship." Referring to labor unions and pressure groups that attempt to influence Congress. Mr. Barden said that properly-lecf labor unions can be fitted into the American way of life as easily as civic organ izations. Some, however, want to be given special treatment and in the end overrule government, and, he continued. "As long as I am a member of the House labor com mittee, I will see that those people do fit into our way of life." Commenting on Communist in filtration, Congressman Barden de clared. "I am totally intolerant of allowing a group to come in and tear up our country and then claim the constitutional rights afforded a free America." He declared that he is not pessi mistic about America or the situa tion in Washington. He said it never has been easy to keep a free America and a free people. In conclusion, he suggested, "Let's guard well our privileges Police Order Eight To Appear in Court Eight persons hive been ctled to court by Beaufort police.
