the county government. It nij
be pertinent to note, however
that City of Charlotte resident*
have a major stake in the financ
ing plan since they pay an esti
mated 85 per cent of all the tai
collected by Mecklenburg county
and will therefore, pay a subs tan.
tial share of the bond retirement
costs.
What about this sbrvey of city
school requirements; who made
it?
The Engelhardt firm — a New
York City team headed by Dr.
«N Li Engelhardt, Jr„ and Dr.
Stanton Leggett — all nationally
recognized school planning ex
pert a. As consultants on th«
Charlotte school program for
many years, they aie thoroughly
familiar with local conditions and
local school requirements. As s
result Of the surver, city school
officials, for the first time in his
t#rj, have factual, authoritative
data on which to base a long
term expansion pre-gram.
In the current bond proposal
no detailed estimate is made of
the cost of each proposed im
provement, Why? •••*■
me amount of money which
can be allotted to etch project
»ill depend, of count*, on the
level of construction costa when
the blueprints are drawn. Since
that and other facton are un
predictable it is impossible, at
this time, to allocate spedic
amounts or even outline a detailed
plan for the various projects.
Ts this a good time to .start a
building program, with the war
threat and possible material
shortages in prospect?
No. It could be a very bad
time. But the'emergency in our
schools — tb« very real, and
present, and dangerous emerg
ency—forces an attempt to galrt
some relief under any conditions.
Were not bonds recently voted
for school Improvements?
Yem—four years ago, with $3,
{*80,000 allocated to the city
school system and $1,970,000 to
rural school expansions. In ad
dition, Charlotte was granted
$600,000 and Mecklenburg coun
ty $502,000 from a State bond
fund for school buildings. But
for those factors the present sit
uation would be even mare crit
ical.
Has all the money been spent?
It has been spent or earmarked.
The city, for example, now has
Fall Larder
I This year’s harvest will be a
good one. Twenty per cent
larger than the harvest of 1950,
according to estimates of the De
partment of Agriculture In ad
I dition, carryover stocks from last
year are large and the two most
popular food imports—sugar and
coffee—are in plentiful supply.
So sit tight and watch your
pennies as carefully as if the
Korean war had not started.
Money is too hard to come by to
spend it bidding up prices. And
that’s what rasing out to buy
“before a shortage’’ — even an
imaginary shortage—does. Just
runs up the cost of what you
have to buy the next time.
Clean Schools
How clean is the school your
• child will attend this fall? Some
of them are pretty dirty. I,ess
. than one-half are as sanitary as
they should be, says the U. S.
Office of Education. Lavatories,
drinking fountains, lunch rooms
should all be spotless, of course,
and there should be plenty of
soap and towels for all the chil
dren Visit your school to see
how things are there — and
help make them right.
More Than Ever
•'."'Don’t let your ^orrtes about
the war make you forget the
November elections Second-rate
office holders are bad risks at
any time, and really dangerous
in times of crisis. First-rate
candidates are needed now more
than before the war started.

terribly important. 'At a recent
meeting an international group
of them reported to UNESCO
(that United Nations agency
dealing with education and cul
ture) that there is no real nor
scientific basis for race bias. All
races, they say, are very much
alike and the differences we hear
talked ^ihout are myths made up
to suit our prejudices. There is
no proof, they say, that any one
race has any more mental ability
than any other.
Easy To Clean
Some day soon stand in the
middle of your living room and
look around. How many useless
objects do you see ? Do you
have too much clutter of photo
graphs. souvenir*, knickknacks,
empty vases, and general dust
catchers? Most of us do.
Try putting some of them away
and changing the scenery once
in a while. Rooms look larger
without so much small stuff ly
ing about. Also, they’re easier
to clean and the knickknacks
look nicer if you don’t try to
show all of them off at once
