Romans y.- Oil and Running The Kings Mountain Reclovolop- ment commission is now off an-J tun ning towarci fruition of the uritan irdc- vclopmcnt project in the Cansler Street area. The promised funding of the pro ject has been done and the commis.sion is now ready to purchase properties where dwellings or other buildings are to be razed. The principal .goal is to provide citi zens now living in suit-standard and derelict housing upgraded quarters. Fact that at least 180 houses in the 110-acre area are to be demolished is indicative of the need. The ground rules show that tlie benefits for the families to lie displaced from their current quarters are all to the good, both as to end point and fin ancial supplement. On page 1 today, the Herald ciuol ""s examples provided bv Gene White, the commission's executive director, ex plaining t'he financial ‘deal”, both foi present home owner and present tenant. The homeowner qualifies for major help to own a standard dwelling: The tenant qualifies for major help to rent a standard dwelling, or, if he wanf.s to become a home owner, major h-clp it) that category. It’s a can’t-lose financial deal for he relocatecs. Much of the soon-to-be-razed acre age is ear-marked for re-sale for iiov. homes, while the remainder will lie put to use for park areas, widened streets and other benefits. Thai's a phis for both individuals and the whole community. Mr. White points out that each caso will tend to be different, based on the commi.ssion’s guidelines. But he also estimates that 40 per cent of the dwellings scheduled for bull dozing are in the base category—an other indication of need for this rc-de- veiopment project. The commission's word; "We’ll help you relocate. Those who can relocate themselves will speed the project.” It's ver.v good news that this pro ject is off and running. GUEST EDITORIAL N. C.'s Lagging Sixth Grade7S Greensboro Daily News OvoICifl On FO?/'s Perhaps snap judgments are not yet in order on the reasons for the abysmal performance of North Carolina si.x- graders in the “statewide assessment program" recently conducted by the State Department of Public Instruction. But the findings arc at best depressing, at worst outrageous. Not only do North Carolina sixth- graders (and by inference all our school- children) lag behind national standards in reading, word skill, and math, they lag behind regional standards as well. For a state that once thought of itself as setting the educational pace for Ih' South, this is simply unacccotable. At the very least, the study may reinforce those who have insisted in re cent controvci;sies over ’’career educa tion” and teacher certification that the primary failure of the schools lies in their primary mission—the teachin.g of ba.sic intellectual skills. If the schools cannot teach children to read, write, and figure at nationally or regionally com petitive levels, it is certain that satisfac tory levels of “career awareness” among these same children—the lat-st fashion able shibboleth in educational theory— will be of little avail. If the sixth-grade study is on its face an indictment of the performance of the schools, it may also be an indict ment of the conditioning children an’ receiving before they get to school. Homes where a good book or an in teresting magazine are never opened, and where the television set is never off, cannot be expected to stimulate the curiosHy and drive of small children to do well in school. That much seems pt^ty certain. So before we Ibunch into an agoniz- Thc modus operand! on returning captees oi the North 'V'iot Nam, fii.st c.iiuingcni of v.iiotn is due Saturday, appeat's to t)e a bit oi ovor-kiil on the part 0-- wjil-rncMning planners. There's a de-briefing stop-over at Giark Air Force Baise in Manila, v. hich Will include tlie usual run oi physical examinations. , But the big “adjustment” pi'oblem, it is hazarded, will be no big adjustment problem lor most. A guy \% ho's been a pri.soner for six months or .six years, it would appear, will have little trouble adjusting to freo- tlom. There may have been, but if so, with little tanfare, to I’c-adjusting Unit ed States prisoners of v."ar after- World - War II. Lite with the German had been tough enough, but life with the Japan- ese'was tough, tougher and toughest. Strike the “tough ’. All was tougher and toughest u'ith the Japanese, and the category dcpencLd in measure on lengtn of slay as the unintentional guests of the enemy. Ol the Her ald’s World War II friends who vver-e prisoners of the enemy, Jim Browning, a marine on Wake Island, was prisoner of longest duration, poorly iiranncd, poorly armed Wake’s detach ment holding off the Japanese for nine ilay.s. Mr. Browning, v, ho was in and out oi Kings Mountiiin for two years super intending an experimental project joint ly foi his United State.s Bureau of Mines, and i’oole .Mineral Company, lost 60 pounds and an eye during his incarcer- trlion. But Mr. Bi‘owning never mention ed any need for special readjustment treatment other than food and medical Irea’.mcni. It is the temperament of this na tion to over kill or to crash-program a- i)out anything it does. Some of the crasiies pay dividends, as with the de velopment of the atomic bomb. But crash programs do not neces sarily pay dividends with human beings. Eric Sevei-cid commented the other night that it appeared the sociologists, psychologists, p.sychiatrists, and other group*s appear to have picked up the repatriation toothall and carried it off. Mr. Sever-eld, a World War II war coiTespondcnt. ofiered the opinion the repatriated POW’s in vast majority would opine, 'Let me alone." Should it be added, “And get mo home.” On Dimming Lights A re.scarch organization has come to the conclusion—in spite of the fact that dimmed auto lights have never been repoi’ted as cause of an auto acci dent—that the accident toll from auto wrecks might well bo reduced if dim ming wei’e eliminated. The flei’alci w-ould look askance at this contention on our old friends, the two-lane avenu<-. But it seems easy to .support the i-esoarchcrs’ content ton on the median- stripped interst.itcs and other four-lane arteries. Blind spots cause wrecks, say the rcseai’chcrs. Wreck reports show-ing motorists struck bridge abutments—and there Irave been seviu-al where Interstate 85 goes under an overlay bridge—if the (iirn-light blind .':po1s may have been the true ctiuse of the accident. Too early it is, however, for motor ists to do any sampling on their own. North Carolina law still demands dimming of headlights for approaching vehicles—on penalty of citations and fine.«. It’s a tjuite interesting thesis. ing reapnr.aisal of what is being taught in the schools, and how, let us also ask oui’.selvcs what wo are doing, as parents, to see that the children come to school with a proper interest in their studies.
