Readers Of Newspapers Want Better Schools In State Readers of North Carolina newspaper want better schools, j and they know exactly how they want their schools improved Preliminary returns to a ques tionnaire made available to all newspapers in the state by the State Education Commission show that the public is dissatisfied with the present schools. Here's why A salesman says. "In traveling through the northwest section of our state. I pass school buildings that are in appalling conditions. I am sure you will agree with me that only a miracle has prevented a disaster". He says "Small schools with inadequate teaching staff and cur riculum" are a serious weakne.v> in our educational program. His letter is seconded by a farmer, who offers. "I would propose that the state lower the number of pup 'Is required per teacher, or force iome type of regional consoiida l on of the present inefficient plants. This would enable more tudents in our state to take ad vanced courses". A woman who describes herself as "housewife and dirt farmer" points out that pood roads are necessary for . ood schools. She say "In our part of the state, the southwestern, we are handi ccppcd by the lack of good roads over which busses could run. and our mountain youths feel neglect ed and left out of things Later on. you sometimes meet them as delin quents or criminals and the state h. - to spend more on them than would have taken to make them citizens".

Time 3:00 North Carolina growers intend to plant 10,000 acres ot commercial watermelons this year. This figure is slightly above the 1947 acreage. North Carolina soils generally ?have continued too wet for ade quate preparation for spring plant ing, but good progress has been made in the east and in many sec tions of the Piedmont. HICKORY LOGS WANTED Get specifications for cutting logs at our Flant, locaLed on Hayesville, Murphy, High way No. 64 about one mile west of Hayes ville. LAY MANUFACTURING COMPANY Hayesville, North Carolina BIG JOB for Earnings . . . meeting your BIG and GROWING NEED for Oil! The better you live, the more oil you need. Today ? 3 million more cars are on the road th an pre-war. 1,500,000 more homes have oil heat. Five times as many diesel locomotives now. Twice as many farm tractors and trucks. More oil spells more progress. But? this rising need for oil can be met only by modernizing and expanding on a big scale ? and in a hurry in spite of to day's high costs. To do this job, Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) and its affiliates are spending one billion dollars in 1947 and 1948 alone ? for new wells, plants, tankers, pipelines, storage tanks, and all the other things it takes to get you the oil you need. That billion dollars is money that goes back into the business from earnings, past and current. In 1947, for instance, we put 426 million dollars into replacements and expansion. To do this, we: (1) used all funds set aside to replace worn-out equipment; , 2 ) ploughed back well over half the year's profits ? all that was left after paying dividends; and (3) dipped heavily into savings put aside in years past to help meet just such needs a3 we face today. In the seven years 1940 through 1946, we spent well over one billion dollars for needed equipment, mostly for war needs. Now, in just two years, we are spending another billion dollars. This money conies from the business itself. Money made on the job goes back into the job. Profits we reinvest for needed produc tion facilities work for everybody. They pay for the capital investment that we must make today to get the oil you need tomorrow. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (NEW JERSEY)
