H. Campbell of • f'anipholl ColleRO) A IcadliiK North Carolina daily newspaper editorially commended j^eiiaior Clyde Hoey recently for leav- ln); his imp>rtant duties in Waahln/?- ton to vole in a Stale Democratic primary. Ilow much more important are tlie issues soon to he decided by the vot.rs of ll.arneii County when' they i>a«R u|)on I lie fate of our pro- i posed school bond issue! The Demo- j cratic primary, in most . instances, ■ merely settled the fortunes tempora- ! lily of rival Candidates for office,' without drastically nffectlnp: our gov- { ernnienial ^lruelure or service; in the coming election the welfare of ' this and coming gonerntlons of school ' clilUlreu ts at stake. Kvery voter ^ should thoroughly acfiuaint himsolf with the viial issues involved before nderlng his verdict. What are the big issues before us? The voi r's verdict may well he reach ed by answering the following four !Uestions: 1. Is the sum of $750,000 proposed in the bond issue urgently tieeded by our schools to meet present d mauds? 2. Should this program of permanent improvements he under taken at llii.s time? 3, Is the propos ed bond issue the best way to secure the iiec.ssary funds?, •!. Can tiic peo ple of Harnett County afford to invest this amount of money in their child ren? .\nswoviug the first (luestion the our building program until some bcilc-r day. Ilow long should we wait? For how many boys and girls of this school generation would ciur emer gency lielp come too late? Opportun ity for them will not wait, and what wo do must he done quickly. Then, loo, is it not inconsistent for busi ness leaders and borne owners who lanneb now bnsliiess enterprises, ex pand ihir present plants, and gi\cl allraci iv« DEATHS MRS. MARY R.

CAMPDELTt Co. men and women to whom the voters have tiilrusted their children testify without exception that practically ever school building in the county has already heconic overtaxed with the Ivurden of larger school enrollments. Jnsi as in most other (iitorprl.sos working eonditions have grown worse, tine to the inability to make lonovatioiis and enlargements dur ing ibo war emergency. In some schools last year classes ma in dark, damp basement rooms and In impro vised classrooms, woefully inadequate for expert teaching. If the taxpayer doubts the word of those school men as to tluse imperative needs, does ho not owe it to the children of the coun ty to investigate conditions lieforo sluUting the door of opportunity to them? Certainly it is lietler to risk our tobacco in over-taxed barns than onr children in overstuffid, poorly voiitilaiod, and undor-oqulpped class rooms. But the hardhoadod business man may well inquire as to whether it would not he bettir to wail about Funeral services for Mrs. M,ary Roberts Latta, 5'3, of Jonesboro lpi-3, who died Tuesday in Lee County Hos- j' pital, were held Wednesday afternoon from the Shallow Well Congregatijon- al Church, with the Rev.

Actually, i;ive not afford to ne.glcct this present sliall be the poorer financially as w^ell ■•Itidiiil .generation, is this tlic way tojas spiritually, if we fall to keep pace senire the money? Why not build by ploc meal methods over a period of years by spooial lax levy a little hero and a little there? If so, which dis trict and whose children should we negloci now? If each district is to get uniform treatment in providing for IIs emergency needs, then |cortainly’ some method must bo found for oh- lalniiiA the moiuy in ,a lump' sum. To I'iilse the lax levy surflcloiUly to get the amount in one or two-'yehrs Is I’.iiiliir.kable. We could doubtless bor row the money without voting bond.s, but probably at a much higher rale of inUrest. Since we would ho lu no sense less ILahle, morally or financi ally, good business suggests the more econoinie.'tl Interest rate )>y bond issue. iPatrloli.sni, love for our children, and good business S'onis to point the voter in the coming bond election to one and the same conclusion. But in order not to leave out a single Issue, I 'f us ask ourselves whether we can afford to .-.pond this amouni,' for our scliools? Other progresive ''Counlies all around are voting for larger school expendituvos. Have we less vision, Itss financial stahllitjs or less love for onr children?

We can ill afford notljto take this step, ij We shall pass this way but once. When future generations look )ja|ck upon our record, may It be found tliat the good people of Harnett gave oluirche.s, schooLs, homes and otiler agencies that build character and cjil- liire, a high priority. Indeed, is it too much to hope that the few who 'at first were inclined to oppose this measure, will Join in the mlgliky chorus of affirmative voices to make the vote unanimous? ], 1 Throw away your electric clock and buy a sun-dial. Of course, it won't wake you up for work, but think of the fun you'll have trying to figure out what time it ls»—on sunny days, anyway. And you'll bo saving about 5c every month I At that rato, you'll have the sun-dial almost paid for in only 41 years 1 2 Donate your electric washer to an orphanage and start doing your wash by hand. In one month, you'll actually have saved 8ci At the end of a year, you'll have .almost enough money to pay for a good strong washboard, which you'll be needing by then.
