For Board of Education
Some of our public officials have openly stated that
they are satisfied with our public school system. I am not
surprised.
I might say I am a little pleased with some advance
ment in our school system, but I will never be satisfied as
long as there is room for improvement. At the present time '
we have plenty of room.
Are the taxpayers satisfied to pay over $6000 for a
piece of land with 3 3 - ft. frontage adjoining Southport
School property? According to record the property is valu
ed at $1600 for taxes, which gives it top value of $3200.
This latter figure included a building, which was not in-:
eluded in the sale. They violated the law when they failed
to consult the commissioners before they closed this deal.
Some drastic changes have to be made about the
Southport school buildings. We should have started years
ago to build up a fund to improve the conditions at South
port, Bolivia and Leland in way of expansion.
Fortunately Shallotte and Waccamaw are a little bet
ter off in the way of land, although I understand that the
Board of Education is about to pay a large sum of money
for a near-worthless piece of swamp land at Shallotte for:
a sewer disposal site.
i
The citizens in the Leland school District voted an
extra 1 5-cent tax for their school. That money is a seperate
fund, paid by the Leland tax payers, and it should be kept
seprate from the annual budget and spent directly on the
Leland schools. The past three years they have been get
ting some of the money, but they are unable to learn if
they are getting the correct amount. Why? It is also report
ed that the water system at Leland School is a disgrace.
It is reported to be so bad that the lunchroom lost five
points on its health inspection. I was also informed that
the workshop fund is mixed up and that the school com
mittee cannot get any explanation from the present board.
Why? They also asked for o heating system in the work
shop. Instead of a heating system they got a paint job.
All of our citizens realize that we are not a rich coun
ty. Our funds are limited, but if we operate at top effi
ciency we can make funds go much further than they do
now. Everywhere I go I find waste and inefficiency. For
instance, a heating system installed at the Union High
School would not meet the requirments ofStateOfficials.
Now several thoursand dollars in tax money must be spent
to correct this situation.
These are some of the things I have learned since I
entered the race for the Board of Education. I ask you, are
you satisified?
I think that I have made it clear that I believe that
some major changes must be made in the business of ope
rating the Public Schools of Brunswick County. However, I
want to make it clear that my purpose is not to tear up,
but to improve. Any employee of the Board of Education,
whether he be teacher, principal or laborer, has nothing
to fear from me if he is doing a good job and will continue
to do so.
From the time this hits the news stand until the poles
close on May 26th the present Board of Education mem
bers will pull every trick in the book to get me defeated.
I do not intend to support any candidate that is controlled
by the present Board of Education. It is time that our coun
ty is controlled by the independent, thinking voters and not
by special interest groups or factions. I feel that I am help
ing the Democratic party by bringing to light some of these
things while we still have time to do something about it
at the poles.
A deem house is a good house.

CANDIDATE FOR
CLERK OF SUPERIOR COURT
I have the experience gained
from serving eight years in the
office to which I now seeking
reelection. I will appreciate your
vote and support.
JACK BROWN
3cbby McKeithan on the mound,
iefeated the Hampstead Cape
Fear League entry 8 to 0 in the
eague opener Sunday afternoon
it Taylor Field.
Hampstead managed only nine
rits, all singles and spaced far
■nough apart so that they could
lot get a runner across the plate.
dcKeithan fanned four and did
lot give up a base on balls as
le went the distance for the
Sails.
In the first inning Paul Coch
an singled to left and stretched
it to three bases when the ball
[ot past John Sanders and roll
ed into the edge of the woods.
Cochran scored on a passed ball
vhile Gene Russ was working
•fig Smith for a walk. A single
>y Dick Brendle brought in Russ,
irendle scored the third run of
he inning on another single by
lobby Spencer.
Tlie Sails fourth run came in
•he second inning when Cochran
ripled and scored on a passed
lall while Russ was drawing an
ither walk.
In the seventh Sanders had to
rhase down another single by
lochran, who was out at second
in a fielder’s choice by Russ. Suc
lesive singles by Bobby Spencer,
tgnew Fulcher and Jerry Spen
:er, and some heads-up base run
ling, provided three more mark
:rs for the Sails. The last run
:an ic in the eighth inning when
loachran led off with a double, to
'ignt field this time, went to third
A’lie.n Wayne Lea hobbled the
jail, and came home when Tom
ny Lea missed the throw-in at
:hird base.
The Sails lived up to their pre
season expectations in winning
:he league opener. All of the
players looked in mid-season
orm, but the brightest spots on
he roster went to the two young
;st players on the team. Foxy
Howard played the last three in
lings at second base and looked
jood as he ranged to his left to
mul in a line-drive by Wayne
Lea in the eighth inning. Later
n the same inning he latched
jnto a hard grounder and outran
Elbert Costin to second base to
nake the force-out and retire the
side.
Jerry Wayne Spencer, only a
sophomore on the High School
team, looked like a veteran be
hind the plate.
Any way you look at it the
Sails, at least thus far in the
young season .look good. Their
manager, Preston Bryant, knows
how to get the most out of his
players—at bat, on the bases, and
in the field- and they are three
deep in good catchers.
The Sails meet Ogden this Sun
day afternoon at Taylor Field for
their second league game start
ing time is 3 p. m.
