A letter from the State Board of Health and a statement of policies governing tuberculosis surveys were studied. The Health Board decided to rec ommend to the County Commission ers that $2,600 bo made available as the county's share in the cost of thg survey, with only so much of it as is necessary be expended. Dr. Hunter, County Health Officer, estimates that the survey will cost approximately 10 cents per person. The County Health' Board made a request to the .State Board of Health last January for a tuberculosis sur vey in Harnett county. The State Board has been busy making such surveys in other counties, and is now making long-range schedules based on original applications. Provisions contained in the regu lations stipulate those requirements demanded of the county, also what will be furnished by the State Board of Health, under whose guidance the surveys are made possible through a grant-in-aid fund from the Federal government. One provision of the regulations states that “there should be assur ance of cooperation of city and coun ty governing bodies, the board of health, the medical profession and various civic and community groups.” The State Board of Health will re port all findings of pathology, tu berculous and non-tuberculous, to the county health department, and it will be the responsibility of the county liealth department to report such findings to the patient or his family and the patient’s physician. Dr. Hunter has forwarded a copy of the letter from the State Board of Health and the regulations to Chair man Angus Cameron and each mem ber of the Board of County Com missioners.

The bank will observe Labor Day, Monday, September 1. The bank is also authorized to redeem-War Savings Bonds of Series A, B, C. D and E, subject to the Treasury Department’s regulations, Owners must make identification, the same as in the case of veterans’ leave bonds. The bank is making a plea to all owners of bonds, both Savings and veterans’ leave, that unless they aio in actual need of the money they should hold their bonds and not cash them at this time. The Savings Bonds are bearing interest at the rate of 2 Vi per cent up to ho time of their maturity, which is ten years after purchase. No safer investment is offered, nor can there be. The bonds aro a first mortgage on every tangible and in tangible property in the United States, the wealthiest nation on earth. Supt. C. Reid Ross, in his second bulletin to principals at the opening of schools for ti.. 1947-48 term, in forms them the ihis year, on ac count of decreased Federal appro priations, school lunches will cost pupils 20c. Tl'.e lunches were former ly 16c. So that students may be of help on the farms, a short schedule will be in operation for the first two weeks of school in districts where the enrollment is 00 per cent or more rural. The suggested schedule is 8 to 1:16 or 1:30, depending on the recesses given. The textbooks rentals are as fol- lov/s: High school—textbook rental $3, library and supply fee 60c, sci ence fee 60c per course, agriculture fee $3. home economics $2, Elemen tary—1st and second grades $1, 3rd, 4th and 6th $1.20, 6th, 7th and 8th $1.40, supply fee 50c. Those fees are countywide for the school year. Workbooks call for an extra fee. Principals are urged to organize a .safety patrol for each bus. At the front of the bus an older pupil can sit with a red flag and get out of the bus at each loading or unloading to warn of danger. Another “patrol man” can sit at the roar of the bus and use a rod flag for the same pur pose. “Walking distance’’ has been de fined by the State Board of Educa tion as follows: One mile of the bus route; a mile and a half is "legal” walking distance. No extra bus trips are allowed to serve families within { this area. Supt, Ross says that a bus ' approaching a school without a full load of pupils may pick up students within a mile and a half. Schools should receive 60 per cent of gross proceeds or 10c per seat at all non-educational programs such us hillbilly bands and the like. Supt. Ross suggests that principals work out their own plans for entertain ments, stating that worthwhile en tertainments should be encouraged. "Outside activities” that interfere with school programs, the superin tendent suggests, should be engaged in only after contact with the lead ers In order to avoid as little dis turbance as possible with the regu lar school schedules. Supt, Ross solemnly warns each [ principal that he “is responsible for school funds handled in his school Adequate books must be kept and all funds expended should bo by check signed by the principal.” Substitute teacher pay is $6 per day. It Is paid to the regular teacher who in turn pays the substitute. If a teacher Is absent for reasons oth er than attending professional meet ings, sickness, or sickness or death in her immediate family, it is count ed as an “unexcused absence” and the principal must report it to the superintendent’s office, in which case the difference between regular and substitute pay will be deducted In paying the regular teacher and re funded to the State. lHr to start on ifeesday, .Septem ber 2.

H. Hood and his corps of expert mechanics at the County Garage. They have made it possible for School Superin tendent C. Reid Ross to keep his 12,04)0 students riding to and from the schools in comparative safety, although many of the "old wagons” are more than ten years old. How have they done It, with all the handicaps and shortage of parts for replacements? Only by diligence nnd good work Is the real answer. Recently the county has received eight new buses to replace that many of the ancient vehicles. Some few of the remainder are not so very old; but out of the 74 now In operation, or soon will be, there are some that JOHN FAUCBTTB OP LILLINGTON 1 are more than ten years old R-3 IN VETERANS HOSPITAIi, FAYETTEVILLE, SEVERELY INJURED; ROND DENIED Rev.

The affair occurred at the Two Way Station on the outskirts of Lil- thera would have done so. But the county couldn’t get new buses. It was out of the question. Neither could they get new parts in suffleient quantity to make new sew ing machines’ out of the old buses. Supt.

Persons Who Have Bought Vet Bonds Are ‘In The Soup’ It is commonly reported that some World War II veterans have sold their terminal leave bonds. Rut the purchasers cannot plead that they are "innocent holders” of the bonds because Congress. In allowing the cashing of the bonds, provided cer tain safeguards for the veterans in the handling of the bonds. Treasury instructions' point out that the bonds are not negotiable and can be redeemed only by the veteran to whom tbe.v originally were Issued, (Banks, before cashing the bonds, must make positive Iden tification of the person submitting the bonds as* Being their rightful owner. Special'instmetions govern the re demption oC bonds of deceased vet erans. Veterans may receive cash for the bonds or have the amount to which they are entitled credited on their savings or checking accounts at the bank. Pointing out that these bonds are the safest form of savings the vet eran can have and will continue to yield 2^ per cent interest per year until redeemed* the Treasury De partment emphasizes that there Is no requirement that they lie cashed at once. They cap be redeemed at any time later upon demand and with out delay. "All, veterans who posst- hly can should retain the savings they now have In the form of ter minal leave bonds,” the Treasury Department says. MUST BE SIX TO ENTER SCHOOL Supt. Ross Cites Law Giving Age Requirement for Children to Enter School First Year Children must be six years of age on or before October i of the year they enter school, Siipt.' Reid 'Ross points out to principals. The super intendent Is citing the law because there has arisen some misunder standing as to whether the law was changed by the 1947 legislature. ’The last legislature wrangled over several bills to change the law, but none of the bills were enacted into law. Supt, Ross cites the law regarding children entering school for their first year as follows: "Chapter^ 116, Section 371. Age Requirement and Time of Enroll ment: Children to be entitled to en rollment in the public schoois .tor the school year one thousand nine hundred - thlrty-nlne-fofty, and each year thereafter, must be six .years of age on or before October first of the year in which they enroll, and must enroll during the first month of the school yoar." di
