IS THERE A NEED FOR THE BOND ISSUE? In the 1920’s there was a great consolidation movement In Har nett County and as a result many small schools were brought toge ther to form ten white union schools. This was during the Mo del T and unimproved road area. Now, 35 to 40 years later, We still have the same ten schools with little change In curriculum. We are In an age of automation with less and less need for manual la bor but more and more need for academic and technical skills. Our present schools are unable to pro vide the academic preparation de manded by the universities and colleges on the one hand and the technical and vocational skills needed by business and Industry on the other. Only through con solidation will we be able to meet the need for these preparations and skills.

Another Old Hymns Are Given Modern Look lOtipOK (UPI) —The Times of Lopdon said Thursday a new Ang lican hymn book coming out in February will give a “modern loot" to ancient hymns. “There are many notable casu alties among the favorite hymns of the last 100 years,” it said. The late Cardinal Neuman’s “Lead Kindly Light” will disap pear mainly because it is felt the last two lines “create confusion.” Those two lines go: “And with the mom those angel faces smile. “Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.” What does it mean? The third verse of “AH things Bright and Beautiful,’* with their overtones of a feuded age, are also 'dot.' "Thte ilch man in his castle, the poor man at his gate. . “Ood fade them, high or lowly, and ordered their estate.” The hymn book will replace the old "Church Hymnal for the Christian Year” which is used ex tensively by the Anglican Church overseas.
