(Times Staff Photo) Survey Reveals Fewer People Are Reported On Public Payroll Locally How many Transylvania County residents are holding down government jobs? How does the number of pub lic employees in the area com pare, in proportion to the lo cal population, with the num ber in other communities? A comprehensive report on the subject has just been re leased by the Census Bureau, based upon data gathered from all sections of the coun try as part of its latest Cen sus of Governments. —— It lists the number of peo ple on the payroll of each local governmental division — coun ty, township, municipality, school district and special dis trict. Federal and state em ployees are excluded. In Transylvania County, it shows, there is the equiva lent of one full • time em ployee for every 52 residents. Compared with the country as a whole, this is a small op erating force. The average, na tionally, is one such employee for every 36 residents. It Is also below the ratio reported elsewhere In the State of North Carolina, one employee per 43 people. The actual count locally, as of the time of the census, shows a total of 436 on the various local government payrolls, 354 of them on a full-time basis. The remainder, who work part - time, were converted into their full - time equival ent to permit comparison with other communities. As to salaries and wages, Transylvania County residents have been paying less to ope rate their local government than have people in most parts of the United States. Whether they got more for their money, or less, is not indicated. Their total payroll, for the month in which the census —Turn to Page Six WNC Rescue Squads At Meet i c.

The building is under a contract price of $475,670 to Bryant Construction company of Brevard. Brevard College work crews have begun the tedious task of moving equipment from the old classroom building into the new structure.

A three - hour orientation session is set at that time, and the first full day of school will be held on Friday of this week. Buses will run at the reg ular time on Thursday and they will leave Brevard and Bosnian high schools at 11:30 that morning to return stud ents to their homes. Orientation of teachers was held Tuesday and the pre - opening conferences for teachers was on following day. Teachers and staff mem bers are announced this week by Mr. Corbin, and they are carried elsewhere in this is sue of The Times. Charging of fees in the schools has almost been elim inated, Supt. Corbin points out. Insurance is optional and the charges are as follows: $2.75 - School time protec tion $14.25 - Full - time protec tion, except football. Students ran purchase physical education uniforms at cost (7th through the 12th grades). The annual principal and teachers meeting was Wed nesday morning at 8:30 at Brevard senior high school. There will be no increase in the price of the school lunches at this time. Holding the price of school lunches the same as last year for the present is possible due to centralization and to the support of the school food service program by students, parents and faculty. Much depends upon regu lar participation. During the last month of school last year, five schools in the coun ty had S09r or more partici pation by their students. One school had more than 98% participation for the year, and it is the hope that all the schools will reach this goal during the coming year. In Transylvania county only Type A lunches are served. This means that the child receives one - third to one - half of their daily nu tritional requirements. With a trial run in Choice A type lunches during the —Turn to Page Five
