Ffhrfttiflnd Trawl ' y Mi vflwi|ii 11 miu Is Sgnmcant To < k Economy Growth Close Correlation Is' Ssen Between Edu eataonal Attainment Afl4 Income S -4 ' The'U. S. Bureau of the Census hasltftken a long look ahead at the educational attainment of the Population in the next two dec adesi and has come up with con clusions that are of far-reaching significance. to the American economy and t > its progress in thjsjyears to come. Outstanding in the Census Bu - reau’s projects are: The number of high school graduates will increase by around 45 million, or close to 85 per cent in tl)e next 20 years. In 1980. , this group is expected to add up ( to snore than 95 million, the. equivalent of well-over half of the population 15 years old" and oyer in that year,, as against somewhat over 40 per cent cur rently and little more than a third of this age group back in 1950. Tha Collage Trend The number of college gradu ates will show a rate of growth almost as great in the next two decades. In 1980, the group which will have completed four or mqre years of college is ex rcted to total 15 million, about million more than now and the equivalent of 10 per cent of the population 20 years old and. over in that year. Currently thd num her of college graduates is equa’ to aoproximately 7 per cent of the 20 and over population group * while in 1950 the proportion wa only 6 per cent The educational attainment of ( the population has beep throwr into sharp focus in tha las' *ew years by a number of develop ments on the international am domestic fronts. ThV rapid growth .of industrir'ieation and the increasing complexity of technology are of prime import ance in this respect with their increasing emnhasis on skill am" know-how. Accentuating this is the iijgreasing pec£ £f and deVelonment in-business and industry with its need for scien tific manpower, and the rhallen" of the space age in missiles am rocketry. Thus the intensive educatim and training of our manpower sources is a primary requiremen for the nation’s future progress and security. ir Working Population Shift Evidence of the trend is al ready apparent in the changing shape of the working population and particularly in the fact tha* > the classification of professinnal.il technical and kindred workers j 1 has outpaced all other groups in ] rate of growth in the last few t years. Greater than average | growth also has Ijeen shown by i the classification of non-farm 1 managers, officials and praprie- 1 tors, the group containing" the ad- 1 ministrative brains on which the effective functioning of our | complex economy depends. Os ddded importance tp. the econottty is that these two groups are 8k the top of the income \ scale jin ,the Census Bureau's’clas- j sificatimi pf earning power by oc- | cupatiotipl groups. The figures l likewtsi show a close correlation j between educational attainment . and income. The average college ( graduate can anticipate %‘Jifc- i K time income three-fifths' greater ' than the typical high school grad- i uate, while the latter an stb av- : erage has a life-time income ex- 1 pectancy almost half again as fcrpat as one whose education F Stopped with elementary school. 1 1 B* -T • Notice Os Public Hearing Pursuant to the authority vested in it by the Gen- II eral Statutes of North Carolina, the Board of Con servation aqd Development hereby serves notice of II public hearing to be heW in the Chowan County Court 'House.

On New Year’s day in 1895, the child who was to become America’s foremost fighter against crime, was born in the very shadow of the nation’s Capitol. Christened John Edgar, he was to become the feared enemy i of all criminals, famous throughout the. world as J. Edgar ■ Hoover of, the F. 8.1. Although Mr. Hoover’s exploits have long been well known, only now, for the first time,“B has there appeared in book form a biography of America’s Number One G-Man. Written by Mildred Houghton Comfort, and published by T. S. Denison & Company of Minneapolis, it is aptly titled: “J. Edgar Hoo ver, Modern Knight Errant.” * The book describes not mere ly the hitherto little known factors that shaped Mr. Hoo ver’s life, but his fight to mod ernize the F. 8.1. and make it an incorruptible and vigorous organization. Miss Comfort's book is not history in any dry sense, how ever. It is alive with anecdotes. There is, for example, the story of Alvin Karpis, once the country’s No. 1 Public Enemy, who had sworn to kill J. Edgar Hoover. Meeting the challenge, the F. 8.1. chief personally di rected the gangster’s capture, When Karpis was traced to a New Orleans hideout, the stage was set for a memorable mo ment in criminal annals. It was the scene of Karpis’ walk ing out of the trap set for him, and coming face to face with J. Edgar Hoover himself. As Mr. Hoover reached for him, Karpis grew suddenly pale, his bold threats faded. Without a word, he gave up meekly to the man he had sworn to kill. While rooting out kidnap pers. counterfeiters, spies and saboteurs. Mr. Hoover has not l ground of Center Hill s improve ment in the community progress contest sponsored by the Agri j cultural Workers and Peoples 1 Bank & Trust Company. Emmett P.

Group J captains were appointed for each! 10 families, these captains to be \ responsible for reports and pro gress made towards the chosen' projects. , Twelve projects were chosen and it was decided to have a j special meeting each quarter of jotficers and committees to dis } cuss the progress made in the community.

Edgar Hoover, Modern Knight Errant,” Miss Comfort describes in the most graphic terms how his own upright family life produced in the head of the F. 8.1. a model for American youth, ana an out standing citizen and fighter against crime. i Tyner Scouts Plan Tour In Norfolk | Explorer Post and Scouts of I Tyner are planning an all day | tour of Norfolk and the Western Railroad yards in Norfolk on i April 8.
