Ip Wllkeeboro Coach R. E.
Caldwell has Plenty of assistance
pp his Job. Supt. W. T. Long, who
came to the school this year from
Clereland schools, was a David
son varsity guard and utility
player in 1921, 22 and 23. He
plans to work with the boys at
every opportunity.
B. O. Jones, new seventh trrade
tfce sessions have been mainly) teacher, was a varsity tackle at
Ibr the purpose of conditioning
ttem for harder work to begin in
a few days. .
About 30 boys have reported
Ibr practice and the only com
ment for publication so far from
the new coach Is that they are
dirplaying the right spirit and
Aould develop into a team who
will do their utmost.
Several lettermen are back
from last year’s team and the
Duke in 1925, 26 and 27. He is
also assisting Coach Caldwell,
who was an athletic star at David
son.
The Wilkesboro boys have
been practicing for several days
and prospects are bright for a
good te.im this year.

have aihite reached 65 years' of

workers who hato died since that
date. That iMRortance of this pro
gram t^n be more readily seen
when monthly payments start aft
er January 1, 1940, as provided
by amendment to the act by Con-
gress at Its recent session, Mr.
Powell said.
With this estimate and actual
figures In the other four divisions
mentioned. It la apparent that
very close to $216,200.00 have
been distributed to Wilkes Indi
viduals In the five major divis
ions. In the other five, classed as
services, a proration Indicates
that probably $42,925.00 has
been used In Wilkes county, di
vided about as follows: Maternal
and Child Health service, $7,-
860.00: Services for Crippled
Children. $6,435.00; Child Wel
fare service, $5,300.00; Vocation
al Rehabilitation, $2,380.00; and
Public Health work, $20,950.00.
Several factors enter into ar
riving at these figures, M •. Pow-
"11 said. Wilkes county had 36.-
162 population, or 1.14 per cent
of the Stage’s population, 1930
census. Otherwise, the population
and conditions are considered as
normal and average. The amount
of money received from the Fed
eral Government for these ac
tivities Is known and is matched,
almost dollar for dollar, by the
State. Also, the program in these
divisions has hern in operation
for more than three years. These
facts are considered in arriving
at an estimate for Wilkes coun-j
ty. I
Central TTCC office records i
show that 62 resident emnloversj
in Wilkes county are subiect to,
the State TInemnlovment Compen- j
sation Law, and that there are I
2.682 workers nrotected bv thej
law. The employers operating in
Wilkes pay a contribution, or
nayroll tax, to the Unemplovment
Fund and this payment has a-
mounted to $101,435.21 In the
two years of 1937 and 1938 and
I the first three months of 1939'.
l?riemnloyed workers in. 18
months have received $117,603.-
80. which Is more than the em
ployers paid In on them In two
and one-half years, Mr. Powell
points out.
These records also show that
5,801 initial claims, probably
more than five tor each claimant,
and 40,74 6 continued claims—
the weekly claims which follow
the initial claim—have been filed
by Wilkes unemployed workers in
the 18 months ending June 30.
The Employment Service Divis
ion reports 5,199 registrations
for work and 1.558 placements
in Jobs In Wilkes county in the
12 months ending June 30.
The North Wilkesboro Employ
ment office, in addition to serv
ing Wilkes county, also serves
Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga
counties through weekly schedul
ed visits to those counties by rep
resentatives from the North Wil
kesboro office.

The second was from 1920 to

an impresslro demand for more

“Sixty-eight cents of every one

is now meeting the broad scope
of it.s requirements and its taxing
system meots the demands of po

He then discussed the two sub
jects: 1. The Public School Sys-j
tern, and 2. The North Carolina
Highway System. “They are
foundation stones of our future
progress,” he said.
“The great weakness of our
Public School System lies In Its
not teaching North Carolina His
tory. We have a rich history and
we teach it In one grade, the
6th, with a small incomplete text
written more than thirty years
ago. It ha.s nothing of the great
and fine things that have tran
spired in the past 40 years. And
there is little that happened be
fore that time. We should have a
better text book. We do not
teach our children of our great
men and our great movements.
They should know about them.

in our text from any North Caro-
Inia writer or statesman.
