Last winter the state had 300. Equipment must be furnished locally, and an inspector must put an 0. K. on it before it is accepted, and so those concerned are anxious, knowing that other counties stand ready to take over the work. The sch^d must have three rooms. There are that many unused in the primary building, and it is hoped the school board will certainly en courage it by allowing their use. Then they must have places for the litle ones to take a nap. Mrs. Avery Calloway for the Red Cross has offered 30 blankets and 60 sheets to ward this. It must have a place to prepare lunches, and material for them, and other equipment. It is for children of those who need reiief, and the teachers who conducted it last year have been to Cullowhee where they were approved and sent back to plan the school. They are Mrs. John McLean and Mrs. Constance Banks. If accepted the school must also pro vide a medical clinic for the examin ation of the kids, and have a maid to do the chores. Altogether it would add around $250 a month to the pay rolls ol Brevard.
