Dr, Ben Quinn, Superintendent of the New Bern-
Craven County Schools
juinn Speaks To Rotary
Dr. Ben Quinn was the speaker at the Vanceboro
Rotary Club last week. His first comment was to
commend the Vanceboro Rotary Club for adopting
Farm Life Elementary School as the sponsor of its
Volunteer Program. He said this type program
blends in with the present effort of the Board of
Education to encourage the communities to use the
school facilities for events taking place for
community activities. Non profit groups may use the
facility free of charge. A money maker for other
groups would mean a small charge.
Dr. Quinn stated that the dedication of the new
facility, Farm Life Elementary, will be held during
the month of October.
He reported the 10th day enrollment for the New
Bern-Craven County schools was 12,998 students.
This figure shows an increase of over 200 students.
This will mean additonal teachers from state alloted
funds. He asked if parents are uneasy about their
child being in a crowded situation, this will receive
relief in the very near future.
At present the county has 445 teachers allotted to
be paid from state funds. There are 20-22 teachers
employed by local funds. The schools follow basic
state instructional programs. The Board requires 20
units for graduation while the state requirement is
only 18. His explanation of this-“We feel the student
needs the extra two units because of the large
number of courses offered in our high school.”
In speaking of the personnel of the New Bern-
Craven County schools, Dr. Quinn expressed that Ms.
Ruth Hoyle, assistant superintendent, has put
together the finest instructional staff in North
Carolina.
There is still a $16.2 million need for the school
system in capital improvements according to Dr.
Quinn. This would mean schools being replaced,
additions made, and better ground equipment. His
present goals are to enhance and continue to improve
the curriculum, to have new roofs on all schools that
need them by the end of the year, have better
maintenance, and have better looking school yards
throughout the county. Dr. Quinn encourages any
responses from the community for help in yard
maintenance or volunteer service.

Dyer’s Garden
used for dyeing, but not always. With geraniums one
ses the leaves; with daffodils, yarrow, and Queen
nne’s lace, the whole plant.
It takes quantities of heads, leaves or plants to
make a batch of dye. And one must think big from the
beginning of a project, because beautiful as natural
dye colors are, they are equally unpredictable.
Second dye lots never repeat the first exactly (a big
reason why the shift to chemicl dyes was made
during the last century).
If you decide to begin a dyeing project, have the
following on hand; unbleached wool, which must be
washed with real wap and water to remove the
lanolin and then loosely re-wound in small skeins;
alum (potassium aluminum sulfate) and cream of
tartar (potassium bitartrate), both more reasonably
priced at craft stores than groceries; two large glass
or enamel pots, never to be used for any other purpose
since some dyeing process.es leave poisonous
esidues; three or four bowls; and glass or wooden
ns or sticks for stirring.
