Much less drastically than it was during World War 11, when the sinking of ships by German submarines made rationing necessary. Most the local population is too young to remember or to know what gas rationing was like, since the median age locally is only 28.3 years. Those who were around at the time 1 will recall that it was a difficult period. Although there wak black marketing and other infractions, the majority of motorists complied with the law, which sharply curtailed the use of gas and limited driving speed to 35 miles perhour. The way it worked, all car owners were given stickers to put on their windshields. They bore the letters A, B, C, or X. The A sticker entitled them toi the basic ration of four gallons a week. This was later reduced to three. The B one was” for people doing essential work. They got supplemental allowances to enable them to get to and from work. C. stickers went to doctors and others whose cars were vital for their occupations. They got a larger quantity. X ones went to various public officials and other who were permitted to get as much as they wanted. Each consumer also got a ration book containing stamps that had to be surrendered at the service stations when gas was bought. Both the administration and many congressmen have been anxious to avoid rationing. They have also opposed a big tax increase on gas. However, rationing is the probably answer, they indicate, because the reduction, in the speed limit and the ban on Sunday sales of gasoline have not produced sufficient results. Just haw this would affect Chowan County, where normal consumption of gas is approximately 21,307,000 gallons a year, will depend upon how the cutback works. If rationing should result in a reduction of some 20 per cent, it would mean that the aveage car, which uses nearly 15 gallons a week, would be getting only ’l2 gallons. Wage rates of telephone and telegraph workers had reached an hourly average of $4.47 by the end of 1971, 14.9 per cent above the level recorded a year earlier, according to a study by the U. S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. associations There Is a tone of solemn and sacred feeling that Mends with our conviviality and lifts the spirit to a state of hallowed and elevated enjoyment.” Certainly during this Christmas season there is such a feeling among students in the Edentbn-Chowan Schools as they engage ,in various activities related to this season of the year. This week’s column will focus on a few of those activities geared to “lifting the spirits.” Competition is one way of bringing out the best in many individuals. This is especially true when one observes the decorations on classroom doors in some of the schools within the school system. Students have jointly planned, with their teachers, very attractive door decorations. Naturally they add a great deal of festiveness to the school atmosphere. These contests have spurned a great deal of creativity and imagination. The prize winning doors will be selected by impartial judges prior to the closing of school for the Christmas Holidays. In addition to using art, as a medium for student creative expression at Christmas, drama is also being utilized. The Drama Classes at John A. Holmes School have formed a traveling troupe which is putting on performances of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” for elementary and junior high students in other schools. Not only entertaining for those students and faculty members watching the performances, it provides a vehicle for both drama students and those observing to learn how to effectively communicate through the medium of the English language. In addition, it adds an even greater special atmosphere for those already excited about Christmas. On Sunday, December 16, Miss Marlene Williams and Mrs. Elaine Layton direction members of the Glee Club and Drama Classes respectively, in a Christmas concert and play “Star Light, Star Bright.” Open to the public this event helped to provide those present with renewed insights into the true meaning of Christmas. At Chowan High School all students will get a special treat on the last day ,of school. Following an assembly program each pupil grades 5-8 will receive a bag of goqfjies to take - home with • hitp. In ; addition, each student enrojled in grades 9-12 will also be the recipient of something special. Naturally various other activities related to Christmas initiated by teachers and students, are going on within the classrooms in your school system. However, the aforementioned are those which extend school or school sytem wide. Needless to say, all such activities are geared to building positive student attitudes toward school Also, they help to convey to pupils both the sacred’, as well as convivial aspects of this holiday season. ■pffiCTOyANHSRAM) I t " > | f i. * \ i j§ ■ fl|sf- ~™ W- jf fll fipPHR J.*.
