We Must Vote For School Bonds As the date for Jackson's school bond election draw's nearer the leading citizens and educators of all sections of the county realize more and more that on this date one of the most vital and important decis . ions must be made, which will either start our county on a progressive school building movement or cause our county to become one of the State's most back ward in educational fields. If our citizens vote favorable for the bonds then Jackson can partially regain its rightful position among other coun ties of the State. If the bond election re jects the bond issue this county will con tinue it^ position at the bottojri of the list of 100 counties. Today there is only one school building adequate for the number of students at tending. Every other school building is either too small, condemned, or unfit for decent use. No matter how large a sal ary is offered a well qualified teacher, he or she, as the case may be, will not come to Jackson county as a teacher. These teachers don't have to teach in buildings such as ours and they are not going to?thus our children suffer undue hardships and handicaps in their efforts Citizens Must Work For Schools Reports from the State Education Com mission on results of a series of surveys on what the-'people of North Carolina think about the schools continue to come in?and continue to prove interesting. Latest report reveals that North Caro lina citizens think schools of the state should place more emphasis on how to get along with others, how to study ef-1 tectively, religious training and sex edu-1 cation. In answering one group of questions, Tar Heels called for more emphasis on developing a well-rounded personality | and preparing for marriage and parent hood. The citizens also believe that the schools should give more attention to un derstanding the operation of government. These surveys conducted by the Edu cation Commission are a worthy project and school officials now know more about what people think about the schools than they could have found out in any other way. However, it should not be forgot ten that the responsibility for putting into action the projects or the changes that people seem to want rests in the local community. With the state-wide survey guiding the educational leaders of the state, local citi zens interested in the schools can look forward to greater cooperation on the part of the school officials. Nevertheless, it rests with the patrons of the schools in each community to press for any changes they feel would be beneficial to their children. For this reason, it is at least as important to have informed par ents in a community in this time of change, as it is to have informed officials. ?Sanford Herald. to become graduates with sufficient back ground to enter our schools and colleges of higher learning. We must do something now if our coming generations of Jackson county are to face the hardships of the world with anything like the education that is justly theirs. Go to the polls on July 3rd and vote for the school bond issue. In doing this you will be giving your children some thing of lasting value. The Everyday Counsellor By RtV. HERBERT SPAUGH, D. 0. So you can't leave i: alone when the crowd sa^ys Come on? You know that it is doing you no good You've seen what it does to oth ers. You are violating your con science. You are turning your back on what you were taught at home by your parents. You are heading for grief, and deep doWn in your heart you know it. This is written to that increas ing -group of younger people who are taken up with social drinking. Many of you don't like the stuff, neither the taste, nor what it does to you. But that is what "every body else is doing" and you can't stand out again.-t it. You could stop new if you had the backbone. Ten years from now you probably can't. Then, in all likelihood, you'll be like that pitiful group of middle-aged men and women who are now crowding our hospitals and alcoholic institutions. The cases haunt my desk and study. I've talked to many of these young people. I find many of them who would like to break away from this vicious thing, but they say "every body we know does it." This nation did not become great, and will not remain great, by reason of its social, life. The fun damental institutions of our dem ocracy are the home, the school and the church. These are our I character-forming agencies, with out which our vast and important I industrial might would become a i Frankenstein. *? i In the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, England was at a low ebb morally and spiritual ' ly with an acute alcohol problem. | Historians tell us that without the spiritual revival of the Wesley's, the industrial revolution and the factory system could never have arisen in England. It sobered up men and women so they could operate the newly-invented- ma^ chines. \ It is high time we in thd United (Political Advertisement) Scott on Fair Taxation Scott's Position on T ax~ Inequality ''Taxation should be equal, whether the taxes are levied against individuals, partnerships or corporations, and reserves of corpora tions and co-operatives should be taxed alike. "As Governor, I would advocate and support equality of taxa tion for all businesses and all groups.'9 scon's POSITION ON TAXES ON FOOD AND FARM MACHINERY "It is an injustice to hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians to have to pay a three per cent tax on meals they eat in restaurants, while other who are fortunate enough to be able to eat at home may enjoy the same food without paying a sales tax on it. "It is also an injustice to farmers to have to pay sales tax on farm machinery when manu facturers do not. I favor removal of the dis criminatory tax on farmers. "Working peopl^Twho have to take one or more meals away from home, are the princi pal victims of this discrimination, but this meal tax, which is not levied by competing resort states, is hurting the State's $175,000, 000 tourist industry out of all proportion to the revenue it is producing. "It would cost the State about three million dollars a year in revenue to remove the retail sales tax completely from food, but in view of the large State surplus and the continuing high rates of State income, I believe it could be done without impairing State service or jeopardizing increased compensation to School teachers and other State employees. The State should never assume that its tax sys tem is fixed and unchangeable. "I could not agree with the State Treasurer, who is now running for Governor, who said in a public address made before I entered this campaign, that there is nothing to be done about sales tax. The 1941 Legislature saw the injustice of taxing food and took the sales tax off groceries. "Now is the time, to go the other step, and take the sales tax completely off the table, whether the meal is consumed at home or in a public eating place. I regard the whole re tail sales tax as a levy that ought to be aban doned or radically revised as soon as econom ic circumstances permit, but we need not wait to remove this discriminatory tax on food ? nor need we wait to improve the administra tion of this sales tax to make it less burden some to the people and less troublesome to merchants."

TMsadv. paid for by friends of 8cott in Jackson County, R? D. Holdea, Jackaon County mgr. States undertook moral and spir itual rearmament. When children in our so-called good homes play at cocktail parties, and wave soft drink bottles, saying, "this is my beer," it certainly reflects what they have seen their parents do. Referring to beverage alcohol, the Bible says, "At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Someone has to take a stand for these great things which are fun damental to the preservation of our civilization. What can we expect of children' who see their parents, cnattering like magpies, acting like monkeys, if not animals of a lower order, while under the influence of alcoholic stimulants? Some of you may say that I am just "crazy on the subject." Well, you'd be too, if you had to listen to all the headaches and heartaches which alcohol brings on, and had to be called at the hours and times I am called. The best way to keep from becoming a drunkard is not to commence to drink. Fifty-four farmers have entered the North Carolina 200-bushei corn contest to date. Prizes total $3,300. The low point in meat supplies for 1948 probably will be reached between July and September. ADMINISTRATRIX'S NOTICE Having qualified as administra* trix of the Estate of A. D.
