FROM SORATA
By Jake
Mr. Paul A. Reld, Controller of
the State Board of Education, says
that the thing most urgently need
ed in North Carolina now is the
consolidation ' of small schools.
From Sorata this looks like a very
1 broad assertion. Consolidation In a
dumber of instances certainly is
.ireently needed to better serve
many children in our" State. It
may be that Mr. Rcid is correct
in his statement; he backs it up
with forceful facts. In a great
many cases, however, elementary
schools of more than three teach
ers can serve the children well if
they are given proper facilities,
equipment, and support.
Other than consolidation of
schools in certain instances, there
are two other things which North
Carolina needs to better educate
its children. These things are:
adequate supervision and proper
attention to and enforcement of
the compulsory attendance laws of
the State. Every county in the
State should have at least one full
time supervisor of instruction. It
would be better of course to have
a supervisor for elementary
schools and one for high schools
but definitely one is needed for
the elementary schools.
If the facts and figures were
compiled. Dossibly they are, re
garding poor attendance and its
relationship to retardation, in the
primary grades especially, it is be
lieved that a very high percentage
of the cause of retardation would
show to be that of poor attend
ance. The employment of a run
time adequately paid probation
officer is the only means of im
proving this situation. His salary
would be more than paid by the
saving realized in not having to
teach so many children two or
more years in the same grade.
North Carolina is yet a Ions way
from the goal of equal opportunity
for all its children. Possibly fur
ther consolidation will bring more
equal opportunities.
Eddie: "It's tough to pay 50
cents a pound for meat."
Freddie: "It's tougher when you
pay only 20 cents."
Uncle Dick says: Falsehood may
have its hour, but it has no future.
Susie: "John, I found a letter
in your pocket this morning that
gave to you a month ago to
mail."
John: "Yes, dear, I recall it. I
took that coat off for you to sew
a button on, and I'm still waiting."
The Nation is now in the midst
of its "March of Dimes" campaign.
During the eight years of its or
ganization the National Foun
dation for Infantile Paralysis has
disbursed "more than seven mill
ion dollars for research and edu
cation and almost two million for
emergency aid in epidemics. One
half of all the money contributed
to the March of Dimes remains in
the county where it was contri
buted.
' More than nine thousand men,
women, and children in the U. S.
were victims of infantile paralysis
in the first nine months of 1945,
the National Foundation reported.
There were 27,363 cases in 1916,
the largest number ever reported
in one year. The next highest fig
ure was in 1944 when 10,053 cases
enn 'unan?'

Just now only 55 convicts are
stationed in Puplin. and with the
worn out equipment they have to
work- with, one can readily under
stand that about all they can do
is to keep ditches open and some
of the major roads scraped and
dragged.
The JTiines suggests that we ease
up on our commissioners for a lew
weeks, or maybe months, and not
worry them with proh'ims that
are beyond their control. Hie .ri
ter has talked with them and they
are just as anxious to get our
roads repaired as are the petition
ers but their hands are tied.
Duplin is coins to get its share
of road work. Governor Cherry j
is lending all his influence to the
improvement of dirt roads but it
cannot be done until sufficient
machinery and labor are avail
able. - J. R. Grady.

what the March of Dimes is tor.
It's to raise funds t0 fight Polio

The March of Dimes campaign
started this year on January 14th
and will end January 31st. Duplin
will join the march.
Some People "Just Don't Think",
Sometime ago a group of ladies
were together and among them
were three mothers whose sons
had just returned from the wars.
The conversation turned to the
boys and congratulations, good
wishes, and words of happiness
were expressed all around. This
was in fine tribute and deserved.
The striking fact that seemed not
to be regarded, however, was that
in the group was a Gold Star
mother. No one thought of what
was in hei mind during the con
versation. No one consoled her. It
is presumptious to asume that her
mind was wandering to a row of
crosses somewhere in Belgium and
that the tears that dimmed her
eyes spoke : for the lonely heart
which never will be made glad by
the return of her son.

Young Girl and Returned
Vet Killed in Accident in
Wallace Tuesday Night;
Third Suffers Crushed
Leg; Car Rams into Rear
of Moving Bus
Increasing the death toll in Du
plin to five since Christmas, a 19
.17 Ford V8 rammed into the rear
"f a shipyard bus on the outskirts
of Wallace about seven o'clock
Tuesday night and fatally injured
i he driver, his girl companion and
crushed the left leg of another
occupant in the rear seat.
According to officers and others
the car was going South, at what
apparently was, a very high rate
of speed. A bus, used to haul work
ers from Wallace to the Ship
yards in Wilmington, was alto
headed South. The bus was mov
ing at a slow or moderate rate of
speed. The Ford crashed into the
rear, literally driving itself under
the bus. It was stated that the
radiator, hood and panel of the
F lrd were pushed back to with'n
six inches of the front seat. Trr
occupants were pinned in so tigl t
it took some time to get them ou .
The owner and driver of the
ear was Ernest Haicher, zi, so l
of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hatcher
of Wallace. Hatcher died in a
doctor's office in Wallace. HD,
head was reported crushed. Hatch
er probably never knew what hap
pened. He was a returned veteran.
Miss Macy Wood, 16, companion
of Hatcher, was reported to have
suffered a broken neck. She was
rushed to a Wilmington hospital
where she died three hours after
arrival. She was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Wood of
Tcachey.
Other occupants of the car were
James Southerland of Wallace,
who suffered a crushed left leg.
and Miss Lucile Mobley, 17, of
near Wallace who escaped with
nothing more than shock.
Driver of the bus was Matthew
Ingram. Negro of Willard. He es
caped without serious injuries.
The bus was not loaded.
It was reported that the Ford
hit the bus with such force that
the bus was carried 25 feet. The
rear end swung around and snip
ped off a light pole while the
front end remained on the high
way. Rear and front light of the
bus were still burning when it
came to a stop.
Coroner Ralph Jones states an
inquest will be held Monday.
