School Official (Continued from Page One) retired tbe previous year. "Since Haywood retired about $60,000 in bonds last year, this means we can borrow $40,000 this year, but that sum would hardly more than put needed repairs on one or two build ings, and not relieve the congestion at all." "We school people reallre, along with others, that taxes must be kept down to a point where the average man can pay. It is foolish to go beyond that point. Through taxation, Mr. Messer said he figured $125,000 could be set aside a year for school build ings, but that it would take 10 years to get the needed $1,250,000 for immediate urgent needs.. He said the estimates were based on recent contracts let in this area, where the average cost was $9 per square foot. By cutting the plans to a mini mum, as to present needs. Mr Messer said it would take $1,243, 500 just for buildings. This figure did not include cost of any land, grading, landscaping, or any re pairs to several buildings. So acute Is the need of more I buildings in Haywood, that right nere in waynesville nigh, we have four more teacJiers alloted us than we have rooms for them to teach. That creates a critical situation for any school," he said.

Only seven-tenths of one per cent of the strikers in the nation were North Carolinians. They lost one and one-half per cent of the total time lost in American indus try because of labor disputes. Labor Commissioner Forest Shu ford say s "this record in itself con stitutes a tribute to the intelli gence and patriotism of both work ers and management in North Car olina It shows that our people have been able to adjust their dif ferences through cooperation and teamwork." 375,000 362,000 $1,243,500 SAVE MONEY ON SEEDS SOY BEANS MILLET CANE ASGROW GARDEN SEEDS Farmers Federation "The average Haywood school building today is sub-standard, and has out-lived its day. There is no remedy for changes, or remodel ing." "The 1947 legislature discussed at length, the proposal of the state setting up a fund of ten millions tor school buildings, but that div ided among 100 counties would only mean an average of $100,000 per county, and our minimum pro gram here calls for at least a mil lion and a half dollars," he point ed out. Mr. Messer pointed out that there are thres nrnhnhu u,aL. ,.f obtaining money for the school ounaing proeram: 1 a hnnri i. sue voted by the people, which wouia ne difficult to carry at this time; 2 that in November the citizens of North famllm. win , to rescind the constitutional amend ment voted a few years ago which limited boroowlng power of coun ties to 66 per cent of the amount of bonds retired the year before na intra, there is every indica tion that the 1949 legislature will seriously consider making state miius avaiiaDte for monti i build schools.
