other type of accident, which will
: help to get the correct blood type

vices of 'several donors to obtain
: bloii r.'iji one. 'This is not intend
ed to be a scare story or to mean
f . yne would ' automatically
become a blood donor, but merely
points out how this program may
be useful In helping to save lives.
With regard to the v questions,
Fsw do I go about setting it, and
; What will it cost me? the. people

WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY
NOTE: This is the 11th of a series
of weekly summaries of the work of
the' North Carolina General As
sembly of 1951. It Is confined to
discussions of matters of general
interest and major importance.
Eleven and a half weeks in (Ral
eigh have been enough to make
legislators think seriously of wind
ing up the session; some have made
the point on the floor. The wave
of local bills introduced this week
probably means the' members want
to be sure their local projects are
not lost in the last minute scramble
f ollowing approval of the revenue
and appropriations bills, measures
that , may reach the floor shortly.
Despite these developments, the
presiding officers have jrot yet ap
pointed calendar committees, the
usual signal of anticipated adjourn
ment. -.,

Dallas Herring of " Rose mil, "'
chairman of the Duplin County
Board of Education says he seeks
to encourage a more Intensified ''' -program
of vocational training In
the high schools of the county.
Commenting on his ideas, Mr. '
Herring said that a majority of the.
students end their formal eduoa- '
tion upon completion of high school -
and it seems, he continued, there ,
is opportunity in the school pro
gram to better qualify our youth v
in skills and ' trades which they
can use in making a better livli- ' ' ;
hood. '
Mr. Herring said he realized the
ni....) iu lormal course for,,
high school students, but held to -the
opinion that more vocational
training courses would not retard -the
present academie instruction.
Touching further on academic
training, Mr. Herring said fhere
is no reason why the quality of in- ,
structions given our students . .
should in any way be inferior to .
that given students in the large
city schools such as Charlotte, Wil
mington, and others. Students from
our high schools-should find no '
handicap when they go off to col
leges and universities due to lack
of sub-standard training 'at home.
When queried about the met- "'
hod which would probably be em-'
ployed to increase the scope of vo
cational courses, Mr. Herring said '
the first need would be for enter-
ged shop space and teaching equip-'
ment When a way is found to pro
vide these, I believe the State will ;
supply the teachers. Normally the
county would pay one-third of the
vocational teacher's salary with )he .
State paying the balance:,! believe
Duplin county would be willing to .
pay lta party be added. . i
The Board of Edueationwhich
has twomembers newly . added ' '
within tbtUour mSJiahs; tooka. -tour
of alVtho school .plants in the- ,
county recently. Both colored and-'
white schools were visited as the -
board , members , gathered first
hand Information.' ' -
Mr. Herring said the inspection
revealed the bond building pro- 1
gram is well underway. But a good
bit of work remains to be done. It -shows
sound progress and planning
on part of the previous board. Mr.
Herring declared, '
This program is taking pressure
off the urgent plant needs for Ne
groes, Herring said. The colored . '
area schools at Charity and War
saw were ' pointed out as being .
among the nicest and most modern
buildings In Duplin.
The board has received repre
sentation from Wallace citizens
wanting) to know what would ba
done when expected Increased de-
mands are made on the schools
after the Stevens mill Is opened. -The
board will meet this situation
wheel It arises and the people of
Wallace can feel assured that their .
needs will be met, Herring stated.
