PARTISAN SCHOOL BOARDS
OFFEND QUALITY EDUCATION
Governor San ford must have struck a responsive
chord in the hearts of most North Carolinians Dem
ocrats and Republicans when he came out last week
for the non-partisan selection of school boards.
The Governor went one step further than a com
mittee set up by the 1961 Legislature to study the se
lection of local school boards, in expressing the opin
ion that local school committees should (ret out of
the teacher selection business.
Over the years there's been a lot of talk about
keeping the schools out of politics, but little has been
done to do away with the odious omnibus bill in which
the General Assembly considers party affiliation
and sometimes factional alignment the only neces
sary qualifications in choosing school board member;
The Democratically controlled Legisla lire is only
endorsing the wishes of local politicians, and tin
inequities are often sickening, particularly in coun
ties that have a nominal Republican majority.
There is little wonder that in counties such as
'Madison where the situation has been dramatized by
political shenanigans, "quality education" has a hol
low sound even among rank and file Democrats.
The Legislative study committee plans to make
recommendations to the 1963 General Assembly a
bout changes in the school board selection laws, and
the Governor feels both Republican and Democratic
leadership will endorse the non-partisan proposal.
Certainly there has never been a place in the
public school systems for strong political partisan
ship, and the committee proposals will have a pretty
good chance of becoming law if the men and women
of North Carolina who are unselfishly committed to
quality education let their representatives know their
feelings in this matter.
Then, and only then, will every local school
system in the state be assured that the members
of their school boards will be chosen because of their
abilities and interest in education, not on a basis of
political affiliation.
The time is at hand to make

RED CROSS ACTIVE HERE
Before the current American Red Cross Member
ship Drive is over, we urge every reader to consider
the services of our area chapter of the American Red
Cross. We sometimes fail to realize how important
Red Cross actually is unless there is a disaster, such
as a flood or hurricane. The Red Cross is always
at work and will continue to be of great service to
our county provided we can do our part in financing
the programs.
For the past several weeks we have been
publishing a Red Cross Honor Roll. Names in this
list represent at least $5.00 donations. The goal is
approximately $3,000 and although we haven't re
ceived official results thus far we feel safe to say
that our county is far behind in raising necessary
funds. Many people seem unaware that the Red Cross
is constantly on the job here, helping the sick, aid
ing servicemen and their families, training in saftey,
and teaching nursing.
For your information, DID YOU KNOW
DISASTER funds raised in the Madison County
Area of the Asheville Area Chapter are sent to the
National Headquarters in Washington. These funds
support disaster relief when nature strikes a cruel
blow. These funds have been used in such disasters
as Hurricane Carta and the Midwestern Floods. If
we are ever affected, these funds will be available to
us for emergency relief.
BLOOD PROGRAM last year a total of 715 pints
of blood were collected in our county. This blood is
made available to you as need arises. All of the
Bloodmobile operations are manned by volunteers
from our community.
HOME SERVICE professional and volunteer
staff from this county stand ready to assist service
men, veterans, and their families whenever an
emergency exists. Approximately two hundred
families in this county were assisted by the Red Cross
last year.

in the house of his servant David:
as he apake by the mouth of his

! "The dayspring from on high"

It is an event neither unexpect

Abraham. Christ's coming will be
the accomplishment of that prom

which he sware to our father Ab

leased to White for a period of

properly registered in the court
house. Two years after the ex
ecution of the lease Brown sold
the house to Black. What effect
does this have upon the lease?
The only effect is that Whit.(
acquires a new landlord. He now
pays his rent to Black, instead or
Brown. The terms and provisions
of the lease remain the same.
The purchaser of real property
acquires it subject to the provi
sions of a registered lease or an
unregistered lease not in excess
of three years. Leases for less
than three years need not be reg
istered, in order to be valid against
purchasers, if the tenant is in oc
cupancy of the premises.
During the past 5 years, 700,000
workers have begun receiving so
cial security disability insurance
benefits.
These disability benefits are
paid because these workers have
lost their earning power due to a
severe, long-lasting disability.
Under the social security law,
any person who becomes so dis
abled that he can no longer work,
and who has worked five years
out of the ten years before his
disability began, may be eligible
for cash disability insurance ben
efits. The dependents of the dis
abled worker may also be eligible
for benefits on his social security
record.
To become eligible for disabili
ty benefits under social security,
you must apply at your social se
curity office. Medical reports
must also be furnished showing
the condition of the disabled per
son and how SEVERE the condi
tion is.
If you have a disability that
has kept you from doing any work
for a long period of time, get in
touch with your nearest social se
curity office.
If you know of anyone who has
become unable to work because of
a severe disability, have him call
the social security office. If he
is unable to do this, call the so
cial security office for him.
Remember the disability MUST
be SEVERE and lours lasting, you
must, have worked five years in
the ten years before the disability
began, and you M 1' ST apply
through your social security of

Take Tax Refund
In Savings Bonds,
Chairman Urges
If you're in line for a refund on
your 1962 Federal income tax re
turn. County Savings Bonds
Chairman C. L. Rudisill, Jr. has a
word for you. Two words, in fact:
Take bonds.
This year for the first time, Mr.
Rudisill points out, Uncle Sam is
making it possible for you to take
your refund in Series E Savings
Bonds by the simple expedient of
putting an "x" in the approiate
box on the tax form.
Last year some 40 million tax
payers received cash refunds on
their taxes. Judging from samp
lings of opinion, a lot of them
would have preferred to get their
money in Savings Bonds of they'd
had the chance. Bond Chairman
C. L. Rudisill, Jr., who is the
President of The Bank of French
Broad wants to make sure any of
them who live in Madison County
know they now have that chance.
The way the bond option works
is simple. The Treasury will issue
the smallest possible number of
E Bonds of the largest possible
denominations to cover the a
mount of the refund. If there's
anything left over, a check will
be written for the balance. The

one complication comes if the
cash balance is from one to 99
cents, since the check-issuing ap

What about joint returns? Mr
Rudisill gave us the answer t
that one too. "John and Mary
Smith" on the tax return becomes
"John or Mary Smith" on t h c

co-owners.

Should a destructive storm, fire,

Our help would ordinarily conic
