Page Twelve N. & Farm Bureau In FuN Support Os Huge Bond Issue Vice President Says Ru ral People Realize Great Need The North Carolina Farm Bureau has thrown its full support behind the bond referendum for schools and mental hospitals, which will be held throughout the State on October 3. Executive Vice-President R. Flake Shaw of Greensboro, speaking on be half of the organization’s 71,000 farm families, announced this week that the Farm Bureau plans to leave no stone unturned in the rural areas to obtain a record turnout at the polls in favor of the bond issue. The North Carolina General Assem bly during its last session authorized the election, which will give all citi zens of the State an opportunity to vote on the issuance of SSO million in bond for public school improve ments and $22 million for mental hos- ' pital improvements. Shaw said the Farm Bureau is act-' ing in accordance with its resolutions concerning schools and rural health in rendering its support to the bond is sue referendum. “Rural people recognize the need perhaps more than any other group for better school and hospital facilities in our State. When we look at the out standing work now’ being carried on in other states. we find that the peo ple of North Carolina must also as sume a greater responsibility for im proving these institutions,” he de clared. The Farm Bureau chief pointed out that the schools of the State are 7, 783 classrooms short this fall, which makes it necessary for 250,000 chil dren to be crowded into inadequate or substandard classrooms. Shaw emphasized that the popula tion in North Carolina’s mental hos pitals has increased from 8,300 pa tients in 1945 to 11,300 in 1952. “Our facilities for taking care of these pa tients are far from adequate when we consider this 25 per cent increase,” he added. No special registration is required for voting in the school-hospital bond referendum on October 3. Citizens who have not already registered will have the opportunity of doing so on one of three Saturdays—September 5, 12, or 19.

Every humane and progressive irstinct that has characterized the spirit of North Carolina for the past 50 years predicts that we will vote ‘yes’ on October 3. “There is no question about the need. Those best informed as to the state of our mental hospitals, and those who have given their lives to leadership in education, tell us that these funds are absolutely essential to the maintenance of minimum stand ards and requirements. What they say to us is underscored by those of the mentally ill who are still held in jails and in other places not suited to their condition and by crowded school rooms, in some cases inade quately ventilated and lighted and without satisfactory sanitary facili ties. “In my opinion, we are not only faced with the demands of a great cause which lie heavily on our heart and conscience, but we are faced with an opportunity to make a sound in vestment in our own future. Like physical i "sources, our human assets 1 require judicious conservation and de \elopment.” ERROR TN P & Q AD An error was detected in the P & Q Super Market advertisement before all of this week’s issue of The Her ald was printed.
