Page ELEVEN Schools Of County System Benefiting Greatly From NDEA Federal Aid Funds SOCIAL SECURITY TIMBER DEMAND There are some 16 million acres of privately owned forest land in North Carolina, most of it in the hands of small landowners. A ma jor part of supplying the needs of the nation will be up to them. De mand will be far more than in dustry and public land can take care of. Instruction has been improved and a better understanding of the individual student has resulted from the use of matching funds provided the Moore County Schools through the National De fense Education Act, Robert E. Lee, county schools superinten dent, said this week. This act, passed by the Federal Congress in 1958, provided for the improve ment or strengthening of four areas: guidance, math, foreign language and science. The Moore County School Sys tem was one of the first counties in the state to be approved for N.D.E.A. purchases. Cohsequently, tile schools have been purchasing instructional aids since the fall of 1959. Under a plan established in the county, local and county funds have been matched by the Feder al Governm.ent, and as a result, equipment, materials and books, costing a total of $31,019.94 have oeen placed in the 14 county schools. Only a few of the larger counties of the state have pur chased more materials and equip ment than the Moore County Schools. A total of $3,566,507.64 was spent by all the schools in North Carolina last year under the program. The Guidance Department was organized last year and a full- time director, C. E. Powers, was employed to supervise the pro gram in the Moore County Schools. Under j;he program the schools have been supplied with educational and occupational in formation in the form of books, briefs, pamphlets, films and film strips, for use with students in counseling. Under the program the testing program is second to none in the state. One-half of the entire high school testing program is paid by the Federal Government. Two mental maturity tests are admin- TIME NOW TO HAVE THOSE WINTER CLOTHES CLEANED FOR COLD WEATHER The' ’Valet MRS. D. C.

Additional tests are given for counseling purposes. Interest tests for aU ninth and twelfth grade students help stu dents in selecting a life’s work. Aptitude tests and personality tests are given to individual and small groups. The students are scoring higher on all the national tests for Col lege entrance and for competitive scholarships as a result of the testing program. Three of the high school science labs have been remodeled to meet the needs of the high school stu dent at Pinckney, Barkley and Aberdeen. Each lab has increased work space for students and addi tional storage space for the new science equipment. Microscopes, microprojectors, science charts, film strips, science kits, barometers, weather kits, 16MM projectors, film strip, physical-political globes and opaque projectors are a few of the many items purchased to im prove the elementary and high school science programs, phy- The foreign language depart ments are being equipped with record players, ear-phones, tape recorders and foreign language records to improve the bonversa- tional aspects of the language pro gram. The old method of transla tion and writing of a foreign lan guage is being strengthened by learning to speak the language by listening to a professional on rec ord or tape. In the elementary school where no foreign language has previously been taught, the children are being introduced to either French or Spanish through the use of television and records. Forty teachers in the elementary schools have profitted through N.D.E.A. funds for this language program. The entire school program has been strengthened by the use of film strips, giant slide rules, geo metric solids, charts, and arith metic manipulative devices. These materials assist the students to gain a better understanding of ihe processes involved, 'Thousands of library books have been purchased in the three Get ’em started with a Quality bikel AGES 7 to 10 •k double strength joints k triple truss crown fork k custom fit crescent fenders k all-steel rims k B.F.Goodrich tires k popular Komet coaster brake B.F.Goodrich STOP AT THE SIGN OF THE SMILING TIRE!

Goodrich Tires Aged Dependant Widower Can Now Get SS Benefits Under a new Social Security law, the aged dependent widower of a woman worker who died be fore September, 1950, can get benefits if the woman worker, be fore her death, had worked under social security for at least a year and a half. 'To qualify for these payments, the widower must have been dependent upon his deceased wife for at least one-half his sup port and he must now be 65 years of age or older. The widower must apply to his Social Security office for these benefits. October, 1960j is the first month for which payments can be made. Dependent widow ers not yet 65 should ask their social security office for informa tion about filing proof of their dependency. The widowers of women workers who died before September, 1950, must file this proof before October 1962, to get payments when they do reach 65. subject areas to provide addition al reading beyond the text and to challenge the talented or gifted student. Orders totaling around $30,000 are being placed for this year’s program. Each teacher in the county has worked with the prin cipals in suggesting supplies, ma terials and equipment which will make possible better instruction in the classroom. The N.D.E.A. program in Moore County is under the direction of Mr. Powers, director of guidance services, and Mrs. Beulah T. Mc Pherson, director of instruction.
