According to The Journal-Pat riot of .February 5 and April 8, 1948, the people of Wilkes coun ty will .be asked to Tote on a I $700,000.00 school ibond issue next election. This being true, it is well for us to consider some of the causes responsible for the conditions of our schools today. The war is blamed 'or almost everything and it is being used as a smoke-screen to cover up the Inefficiency in our school sit uation in Wilkes county. The real trouble began ibefore the war and is far deeper seated. Most of us remember the ?school fight" of some ten years ago, precipitated by the surrepti tious and unceremonious dismiss al of the principal and eight teachers in the Wilkesboro high jchool, because they refused to say $25.00 or more to the Dem scratic political fund and to vote .'or certain politicians. Through sut the county this same thing happened. Teachers were dismiss id on five days' notice and told hat it was because they did not rote right. Because they refused o be a party to this political cor 'uption, many of the Republican whool teachers either left the :ounty or quit teaching. Like vise, a number of Democrats juit teaching or moved to other :ounties, because they had too nuch manhood and womanhood o be a party in this political rac ket. Naturally, a shortage of eachers resulted. To overcome his shortage subsurvient indi iduals were sought out and var ous types of certificates were lonored, elevated, or outright nanufactured. People who had lever completed the seventh ;rade, to say nothing of com peting high school, were put in o teach the boys and girls of Wilkes county and continue to lay. ? In August 21, 1947, school >onds on Wilkes county to the imount of $45,000.00 were sold o R. S. Diokson and Company of taleigh and Charlotte. The writ ir does not know how thsi was arranged. He did not see any :hing about it in any of the local papers. The bonds were not by the citizens and apparently not one person in a hundred knows it was done. It appears that the Democratic school officials and the Republican county commis sioners should have informed the taxpayers about this- The tax payers pay the bill and have the right to know what i's being done with their money. The sec recy of the deal Indicates that it was unsavory.. We talk about the iron curtain in Russia, but in this matter we have an. iron curtain in Wilkes county schools, equal to anything In Russia. During prosperous times many people seem to think that money will continue to flow freely. Pol iticians take advantage of such situations to get bonds voted and their salaries increased. Let us look at what might happen in Wilkes county. Some of us know that a petition was signed by many voters asking permission of NOTICE SERVING SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION North Carolina, Wilkes County. In the Superior Court, before the Clerk. R. S. Gilbert, Administrator of John T. Gilbert, Clinton L. Gilbert and wife, Claudine Gilbert, Wayne H. Gilbert and wife, Mary Lee Gilbert, Elsie M.

David Gilbert, Pauline Gilbert, minor and Inea Gilbert minor, will take notice that an ac tion entitled as above ha. biL conroninced in the Superior Court of Wilkes County, North Carolina, to sell the lands of John T. Gil bert, deceased, at private sale to make assets to pay debts and the attributed ???? the heirs of John T. GU bert, deceased, as their respective mterwt may appear, and the said defendants will further lake note they are required to appear 2MJ2 of- the clerk of tbe Supenor Court of said county in the courthouse in Wilkeshom 194ff 7 of October, 1948, and answer or demur to the ttfS Baidi act,on or plain Mil * aPply to the court for Utioi? demoded in said pe i{This the 80th day of September, Clark ""y. ttg"" J-ej ___ the legislature to permit a sec tion of Wilkes countya0 with a raw and Join Caldwell. If this happens, a sizable amount of good taxable property will be lost from this county. Since poli ticians never get enough money, this deficit will have to be made UP by a heavier tax on the re mainder of the county. Then sup Pose the government builds the ood da?ns, more taxable prop erty win be removed and higher taxes will have to be levied on he remainder of the county. Now we are being asked to vote aVIv00* lbonds to the tune of 1700, 000.00. Before we do this, it is well to remember that we have practically the same school offi cials who levied $25 or more on each of the teachers of Wilkes, and to vote these bonds further e n t r en ch these officials in their corruption. Before we vote these bonds, let us have a set of school officials who are a high type of Christian gentlemen, who Place the welfare of the boys and rirls of Wilkes county above any political party. We deplore the lack of democracy in Russia, but Put in Russia citizens can at least vote for Stalin. In Wilkes iVe are not allowed to vote for my school official. Men who who place pplitics above the wel are of our boys and girls are placed over us and So far we laven't done anything about It. Some three or four years ago he courthouse gang got their lalaries Increased. Now, we are, isked to double the salary of the, ?epresentatlve. Whoever heard of i poltician getting enough mon >y ? They always want more and nore money. There must be I lomething about the offices theyl want or they would not work so iard to stay In office. Probably t would be better to pay politi ?ians for what good they accomp ish. We are also to vote on the ncreasing of the limitations on he hundred dollar valuation for :ounty expenses from 15 to 25 1 lents. Apparently, this Is another icheme to raise taxes. To the writer it would appear that the leeper a county Is in debt, the v uoLIlO | nore money It can borrow and :he further the politicians can dnk It in debt and thus increase i he taxes. I It is well to remember that hese flush times will end some >f these days and a depression will surely come. The hospital will hold the feet of the town of worth Wilkesboro to the fire for i long time to come, and the ichool bonds and political extras ' OAU tXB I will be mors than the people of Wilkes county. It-is also Well to remember that for every dollar we borrow and spend now we| I shall be paying back from two or .three dollars when the depress ion hits. The writer predicts that within a few years the same thing will happen here he saw in Dan ville, Ky., and Boulder, Oolo.; namely, many people will lose their homes because they will not be able to pay the taxes. The writer wants it clearly un derstood that he is not opposed to (better schools and improve ments. He has spent most of his life in educational work. He pays thirty cents each day for his boy to ride to North Wilkesboro when he could ride the school bus to Wilkesboro free. He has con tributed liberally, according to his means, and assisted in every way possible to help the school at North Wilkesboro. He would be just .-as loyal to the public school system of Wilkes county if it were as good as that of North Wilkesboro. He wishes that every boy and girl of Wilkes county had the opportunity of attending schools just as good as those of any other state. We have just as good brains here as any where, but the schools are so poor that the boys and girls grad uating from high school cannot compete on equal terms with those from most of the other states. Until we are given sin cere, honest, public spirited Christian men to head our 8cho? system, men who have the wel fare of the boys and girls at heart rather than the promotion of a political party, and until this iron curtain of 8ecrec^ *S withdrawn and the people of Wil kes are permitted to participate In the school policies, we had bet ter not vote more bonds ot in crease taxes. |H.
