No! salaries for bus drivers nor mechan-! ics were cut. Three-eights of the I agriculture teachers’ salary is fur- j , nished by the county also traveling j expense for the agriculture teachers, j The amount to be furnished this year by the county is $525.00. The cqst for fuel included the ex- • ! pense for a new truck body, so that, i j the county board of education can , : haul the coal from the car to the. 1 bin. The truck body was ordered and, built by the state school commission, j : The coal is bought on state contract i directly from the mines by the state. I The amount of tax levied for build-. ing funds to pay for school buildings j i built in the past for 1932-33 was; I *25,000, while that for 1933-34 was j ! $9,849.20. j ' The amount to be paid in 1934 -35 i j will be around $7,471.88. i A small library and in several in- J I stances two libraries were placed in j ! every school outside Rosman and j Brevard schools. The total amount of ! books amounting to nearly 1,000 added were a gift from the state library commission. Several libraries have b;en delivered to the board of education ready for delivery to the . schools when schools open up again, i The state certification department has a ruling that a teacher must have | a Primary certificate to teach in the first, second and third grades. To teach in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades he or she must have ; a Grammar Grade certificate. To' teach in high school he or she must qualify for Special certificates far different subjects. The law divides the school budget into eight different parts, namely: General control, instructional service, operation of plant, maintenance of plant, fixed charges, auxiliary agen cies. capital outlay and debt service. Neither of these different parts of the budget is to be transferred from one to the other. The board of education does not levy nor collect taxes, but is only the disbursing agent for the money given them by the state, and the county commissioners for the different parts of the budget for schools. General control includes salary of | the county superintendent, travel of the superintendent, clerical assist ance, office expense, cost for board cf education meeting, which cannot be more than $100 per year or $33.33 each per year, attorney fees, superintendent of public welfare sal ary and travel ana the audit. RALPH H. RAMSEY, Jr. Candidate For STATE SENATE As a candidate for the State Senate I can assure the voters of Transylvania County that I am pledged to no group, faction nor organization, and, if elected, I shall favor such legislation as I believe will be for the high est welfare of all the people of my District and State, A'ith the least possible burden of taxation. I shall appreciate your support. RALPH H. RAMSEY, JR. Instructional service includes salar ies of teachers and principals, in structional supplies and vocational education. i Operation of plant includes wages , c,f janitors, fuel, water, light and , electric power and janitors’ supplies.; Maintenance includes repairs to j buildings, grounds, furniture, lights, | and plumbing. Fixed charges include insurance j and rents. Auxiliary agencies include school transportation, such as gas, oil, j grease, laoor and mechanic, parts for j busses, insurance and contract trans portation. For debt service the county owed for special building funds $24,291.26 j and for state literary funds $778.80 i or a total of $25,070.06 for 1932-33 j and for 1933-34 the county owed a special building fund. The principal I is $5,250.00 while the interest is $2,- I 452.50 or a total of $7,702.50. We ; have been paying on both these debts, j To date we have paid $14,000 on the i debt for 1932-33 and we have paid $2,000 or, the debt for 1953-34. The j county owed a total for debt service j of $32,772.56 and we have paid on ] this debt $16,000. At present we are i in default $16,772.56 plus accnmu- i lated interest. Outside of debt service we had accounts payable as of June 30, 1933, to the amount of $10,421.40. Practically all of this amount has been paid at the present date. The following amounts will become due December 15, 1934. For 1934-35 Transylvania county will have to pay ■ the state for three leans dated Sep-! tember 15, 1922, principal $1,000, in-1 terest $360, total amount $1,360.00; | 3-10-24, principal $2,000, interest | $810, total amount $2,810; May 10, ! 1926, principal $2,250. interest $1,- j 051.88, total $3,301,88 or a grand total of principal $5,250.00 and interest; 82.221.88. Under vocations'. education me levy is 7 cents for agriculture and home economics. The entire levy for schools 1933-34 is 23 cents for debt service and 7 cents for agriculture. Under the present law debt service or money collected for building funds cannot be paid on teachers 'salaries. Therefore we have been unable to pay the vocational teachers to date since we must depend under the present law, upon the 7 cents levy to pay the county’s part and under the present law the state cannot pay its part until the county pays its part. The audit will not cost as much this year as it did last as the state school commission has ordered that, the county superintendent audit the state’s part of the books. This work has been done by the office clerk along with the regular work in the office, saving the county and state at least $150 for this year. All of the teachers in every county in the state are paid by the state. The teachers are paid state-wide ac cording to the number of years ex perience they have had and accord ing to the certificate they hold. We invite your inquiry any time as to the educational work we are doing. You are welcome any day to come into the superintendent's office and inquire about any part of the education work. You should know by investigation. The county superin tendents of schools office are public records and the county superintend ent insists that you drop into his office if there is any doubt in your mind regarding any school record. The county superintendent and chair man of the county board of education carry a heavy bond to see that no money is lost and that the affairs are conducted right. All drafts for money and all material beught are reported to the State of North Carolina. This has been a trying year financially for the schools and I feel that we should rejoice that the schools have been kept open. Renew Your Subacription THE RIGHT WAY T(* TRAVEL la*by train.

FOUR THOUSAND AT RED CROSS PAGEANT i Largest School Of Kind In United States Conducted At Camp Carolina Tenth annual water pageant given I by the American Red Cros3 last [Thursday night drew a crowd of ‘people that was estimated at over [four thousand, over five hundred cars 'being counted parked ill the Camp Carolina vicinity before the program ! started at 8:30. Beautiful Camp Carolina lake, where the pageant has been staged for the past three years, was made into an elaborate waterfront repre senting a Dutch village, around which story of the pageant was woven. Appropriate costumes, a windmill, flower.* along the water edge and other arrangements added to the effectiveness of the scene. A huge liner “The American Red Cross," brought the life ravers upon the scene which showed an old man musing as he mended his fishing nets, relenting the fact that so many of his people had gone to a watery grave. In answer to his wi.-h that the children playing games on the water front might not be victims of the sea as so many before them had been. King Neptune, ruler of the seas, promised the old man that the Red Cross would teach people how to save their own lives and the lives of others. r ancy swimming, diving nu canoe ing, a burning ship and fireworks added to the evening’s entertainment which was arranged by Harry Ken ing and Jimmy MacMillan, under supervision of Ramone S. Eaton, dir ector of the institute. Among the notables attending the pageant were James L. Fieser, of Washington, D. C., national director Junior Red Cross; Richard W. Thursh of Washington, D. C., assist ant national director of First Aid and Life Saving. With an enrollment of 15fl, the aquatic school at Cainp Carolina this year was the largest ever to be held in the United States, fifteen states being represented in the enrollment, with states represented by the faculty bringing the states represented to 21.
