State Audio-Visual Program is Urged Recommendations Made By Commission Mak , ing Study In creating the North Carolina Com munication Study Commission the General Asembly of 1949 took cog nizance of the need for an over-all state-wide audio-visual program for North Carolina at all levels of educa tion. The bill creating the Commis sion stipulated that the study should include public education, higher edu cation, adult education, and the edu cational programs of state agencies and departments. The work of the Commission got underway in November, 1949. Ques tionnaires to be sent to superinten dents, principals, institutions of high er learning, radio stations, and state departments and agencies were pre pared during the early months of 1950 and mailed during May and Juna These questionnaires were returned, tabulated and evaluated during the months of July and August. These tabulations and evaluations were as sembled and mailed to the members of the Commission and Advisory Com mittee on the first of September. On the basis of careful consideration of these tabulations and evaluations, the Commission, upon the advice of its Advisory Committee, during meetings held between September 23 and Sep tember 27, formulated an over-all audio-visual plan for North Carolina. 1— There should be coordinated state and regional administration: To ac complish this there should be estab lished a state-wide audio-visual pro gram under the general supervision and administration of the State Board of Education to which should be made appropriations for the support of the program. 2 'Regional distribution of certain types of material: In the interest of economy and efficiency and equaliza tion of educational opportunity in the State, it is advisable to distrbute on a regional basis certain types of materi als, especially those which because of their cost and/or limited use cannot and should not be locally owned. To accomplish this there should be estab lished not more than five Audio-Visual Regional Distribution Centers located at strategic institutions of higher learning to be selected upon the ad vice and recommendation of the State Audio-Visual Advisory Committee. i 3—Teacher training: A definite need is evident for in-aervice and pre-ser vice teacher training. To meet this need it is recommended that in each of the twelve state supported insti tutions of higher learning should be set up equipment and materials neces sary to conduct adequate pre-service and in-service teacher training pro grams in the use of Audio-Visual aids. It is recommended also that each Institution of Higher learning provide credit courses for teacher trainees in the use of audio-visual aids. 4—‘Local administrative unit pro grams: The study conducted by the N. C. Communication Study Com mission revealed many audio-visual inequalities among the administrative school units within the state. In or- NOTICE! To Chowan County j TAXPAYERS j.

BUNCH I SHERIFF OF CHOWAN COUNTY Ekw by Bread JBmk Courtesy, Chicago Dotty News In these days of alarming uncertainty it is significant that all America is being reached during November by the “Religion in American Life” program, a non-sectarian movement aimed to strengthen religion in personal and community life. Among the organizations sponsoring this program is the Amer ican Bible Society which was founded early in the history of our Republic to strengthen democracy through distribution and reading of the Bible. The Bible has always occupied a prominent place in the life of our country. To encourage Worldwide Bible reading during the period from Thanksgiving to Christmas, selections from the great est passages in the Bible have been chosen. President Harry S. Truman is honorary chairman of the national committee for Bible reading. He has commended the plan this year by declaring: “In this age of doubt it is of hopeful significance that the Bible remains the world’s best seller. Our days are cast in an age that knows not God and when love docs not rule the counsels or the hearts of men. “I call upon my countrymen once again in the sacred season from Thanksgiving to Christmastide to read and to ponder in their hearts the Book by which our fathers lived—the Book which vindi cates the ways of God to man. Though others falter we doubt aot through the ages one increasing purpose runs.” der to equalize the educational op portunity among all units as well as to supplement the efforts of those already operating audio-visual pro grams, it is recommended that funds be made available to all units on a non-matching basis with a small basic allocation to each unit and an addi- 1 tional amount to be distributed to all units on the basis of average daily attendance. 5 'Research and special services: In order to continue research in the au dio-visual field, to set up standards of evaluation in the choice of ma terials and equipment, to provide nec essary teacher training materials, it is recommended that funds be made available for this purpose. 6 Appropriations: 'For the pur- If You Need Money To Finance or Re-Finance I Your Farm at Low Interest Rates...

An additional $54,000 annual ly would be indirectly absorbed by the local units through the services pro vided them by the Regional and As sistant Regional Directors in conduct ing in-seiVice teacher training and utilization programs. Duplin Farmer Shows What 10 Acres Gan Do A young Duplin County Negro war veteran has converted ten acres of trees and underbrush into a comfort able living for four people, built his own home, and now has decided to round out his education by returning to college. Tom Roberts of the Stanford com munity is the man who has managed the small farm so well, reports Rid dick E. Wilkins, Duplin County Negro farm agent for the State College Ex tension Service. Roberts’ neighbors were doubtful of his projects when he bought the brushy 10-acre plot, but now the suc cessful young farmer has shown them that hard work and resourcefulness can make a small farm pay. Discharged in .1945, Tom bought the small tract and went to work. He cleared the land and by 1946 had be gun to assemble building materials for his home. He studied masonry so that he could do much of the con struction himself. His wife helped him around the place and put in a flock of chickens to provide more in come. She was successful with her poultry project, and was able to earn about S4O a month from egg sales. The poultry enterprise caught the atten tion of Mrs. Mable B.
