An interesting report of the 1951 legislative program
has (been received by some Edentonians from the United
Forces For Education in North Carolina. The organiza
tion consists of the North Carolina Congress off Parents
and Teachers, this North Carolina. School Bond Asso
ciation, the North Carolina Federation of Women’s Cluibs,
the North Carolina State Grange, the North Carolina
Farm Bureau and the North Carolina Education Associa
tion.
Chosen representatives from these five groups held
three very long meetings and aibout mid-December adopt
ed the final form of the legislative program, which in
clude® the following:
1. An appropriation to employ persons to enforce com
pulsory attendance. ,
2. Continuation and expansion off school health services
and the program of education of exceptional children.
3. Capital outlay from state funds for the purchase
of necessary school buses.
4. Reduction of teachler load to 30 pupils per class
room unit.
5. Adequate school buildings financed by the state
where the present provisions of the law do not permit lo
cal financing.
6. Increased appropriations for all current expense
items.
7. Comprehensive and adequate vocational education
programs for the children off the state.
8. Expansion off aduio-visual education.
9. A sick leave pieriod of ten days for teachers.
10. An extended term of employment for teachers and
principals in order that needed additional services may be
rendered to school children.
11. $2400-3600 salary schedule for teachers with A cer
tificates. Proportionate increases for other school per
sonnel.
12. Endorsement of the program of the Board of Trus
tees of the Retirement System.
13. Clerical aid for schools.
14. Re-Codification off the state school laws.
United Forces For Education point out that the pro
gram is centered around pupil welfare, and pupil-teach
cr welfare. The school child must come first in school
legislation as long as buses operate for children, as long
ns schools are built for children, and as long as teachers
are hired to teach children.
It is for that reason that United Forces For Educa
tion urge all who are interested to discuss the program
with representatives in the 1951 General Assembly.

Rhett Miller feels very skeptical about the 29th day of
the month and I don’t blame him. This young fellow has ,
broker} his leg three times within a year and each time it
was on the 29th of the month. He is now visiting in
Goldsboro, where he is recuperating following his last
accident, and recently told his daddy, R. A. Miller, that
hereafter he intends to Stay in bed every 29th day of the
month and have his meals brought to him. Well, I don’t
blame him for that. I haven’t broken my leg but some
times I wish I could have my meals in bed.

One of our local goltf players the other day took a
glove home which he used to keep from hurting his' hand \
when swinging the golf clubs. The Missus noticed the
fingers cut off Ithe gloves and asked what in tfie wo rid
the things were. “They’re gloves to keep from hurting
my hands when I play golf,” he sard. The Missus came
right back, “Well, suppose you grab hold off that lawn
mower and cut the grass for awhile —that should harden
up your tender hands so that you will not need gloves to
play golf.” But, shucks, who wants to trail a/fter a lawn
mower ? There’s too much walking connected with it.
George Twiddy attended last week’s Rotary meeting,
the first time since his recent marriage. He was con
gratulated by the Rotai-ians and was called upon for a
Speech. However, one of the Rdtarians warned him that
whatever he might say will (be held against him—so
George didn’t make a spetech, but he was all smiles from
ear to ear.

The other day a good-sized boy slapped a smaller boy !
and the latter went crying to his mother. After the boy
told the mother what had happened, she went to the door
and asked (the larger boy why he hurt her son. “Why
don’t you .pick on a boy 'your size?” she asked. The (boy
promptly replied, “Well, I told him not to ‘irrigate’ me.”
(Cliff Granby, a colored man, had some hard luck Tues
day afternoon when fire destroyed his home on the Indian
Trail road about two miles east off N. C. 32. He not only
lost his house, but all off the family’s belongings. Cliff
has a wife and ten children ranging from four months to
adults, who are now obliged to be scattered about among
friends in the neighborhood. He needs help and anyone
who will give clothing, furniture or money for the un
fortunate family should contact Meredith Jones, who will
see that Cliff gets it.

I have been asked to remind folks about the PTA box
supper which will be held in the school auditorium Tues
day, February 27. Os course, that is a long way off, but
the ladies are going forward with plans for the supper
and hope nothing will prevent a large attendance.

Quite a few 1950 license tags are still seen on '"Vtcmo- I
biles driven on the highways. Today is the deadline for
having the 1950 tags, so if you don’t want to have a I
“conversation” with a highway paltrolman, y*>u better !
get that 1951 license and attach it to your car. Failure !
to have the new license will mean arrest and paying more 1
than the license costs.
Quite a few people in Edenton would like to see snow,
and it missed a good chance to snow early this week.
However, snow failed to materialize, and here’s one who
isn’t sorry. Why? Well, because I figure I shoveled
enough snow in my life before coming to the “sunnv
South,” and if it snows now I know who will have to do
the shoveling- |

World Day Prayer
WWBeObservedln
Edenton February 9
Service Scheduled to Be
Held In Methodist
Church
Miss Mamie Hogg calls attention
to the Worid Day of Prayer in Eden
|ton, which will be held in the Metho
dist Church Friday night, February
9, at 8 o’clock. The service in non-de
nominational and it is hoped many
Edenton people will attend. The 1951
theme is “Perfect Love Casts Out
Fear.”
The regular annual observance be
gan in 1887 when Mrs. Darwin R.
James, president of the Woman’s
Board of Home Missions of the Pres
byterian Church in the U. S. A., call
ed on all Presbyterian women in the
United States Co gather in their own
communities on a specified date to
pray for home missions. The respose
was so great that a day was set apart
annually. In the early nineties, under i
the leadership of two outstanding Bap-'
tist women, Mrs. Henry W. Peabody
and Mrs. Helen Barrett Montgomey, a I
day was designated for united prayer I
for foreign missions. For many years I
home and foreign missions observed'
days of prayer separately, but, fn 1919 i
they came together. In 1920 the wo
men of Canada joined them. The
first Friday in Lent was chosen as the
day of prayer for missions, home and'
foreign.
Missionaries spread thie idea of a!
day of prayer and at the request of i
many friends in other lands, it became
a World Day of Prayer in 1927. To
day the program is sent by request in
advance to ninety-two countries.,
There has been uninterrupted
! growth in tb? movement from its in
jeeption, and there are noiw aiporoxi-
I mately 15,000 observances in the Unit
ed States alone. Prayer girdles the
[globe. Services begin in Neiw Zea-i
j ’and and the Fiji Islands, west of the J
ida’e line and continue throughout the;
I day, closing with the observances in j
Alaska, and on the Tonga Islands,'
where Queen Salats leads her devout
subjects in praver. - ,
