Teachey at' one time was the home

many local citizens had high hope
Of restoring the community's claim
to educational leadership with the
cooperation of Wallace and Rose
' Hill people. The action of school
patrons toward establishment of the
new school has won acclaim
throughout the state and in educa

way and the Board of Education has
filed a budget request wih the
County Commissioners lor construc

1956 for the Warsaw Kenansville
Magnolia School. The program
will require approximately fnur
times the amount of capital outlay
funds the county was providing
only three years ago on an annual
basis. Hence the amount of money
available for land purchases is ex
tremely limited.
"Any amount above tne reasons Die

KQ.37,
Wallace School Committee held: In
Wallace Tuesday night. U building
lunds have to be used. It may force
a jdelay in construction schedules
until such time as enough money is
available to award a construction
contract. The Buard js wery anxious
to avoid such a delay, because ,of
the pressing need for classrooms
at Wallace and Hose 3111 as well as
' ai Kenaneville and "Warsaw.
Owners of the property on the
J third site chosen y "the two corn-
munities have indicated willingness
to sell, but prices offered thus far
are greatly in excess of any amount
the county has ever had to pay for
land. A check of tax valuations of
the property in the area indicated
that they are only a fraction of the
sales price asked, although land va
lues are supposed to be limited to
approximately 40 per cent of market
price.
The Board is reluctant to reopen
the matter of site location, in view
of the practically unanimous agree
ment of school patrons concerning
the Teachey location. However it
vas indicated that before a post
ponement of the project Is allowed,
the Board may decide to consult
fchool patrons further about an al
ternate site that would be accept
able. Members of the Board expressed
surprise that property in Teachey
should command higher prices than
similar property in some of the
iarger towns of the County.
The Board announced that it?
plans called for building 18 class
rooms at Teachey or alternato
served to all members and guests.
The KensnsVllle and Warsaw Chap
ter Mothers assisted.
For the final events of the after
noon program, the members of the
different chapters entertained with
stunts.
The program closed with the in
stallation of officers for the Quinn
County FHA Chapter for 1955
1956.
