Last year’s program proved to be an outstanding success which exceeded all expectations.

Cheshire Jr., who was seriously injured in an accident on Highway 70 West of Mebane last Friday morning, was reported today to be icgting as well as exjpected. !

The accident insurance program greatly relieves an unfortunate situation for it assures every child who pays the small premium involved of ade quate and complete medical care and hospitalization. . • • | •• s A Master Policy will be issued and held* in the office of the su perintendent. The cost of the in surance is $1.50 per year per child. Each student will be given the opportunity to bring his payment to school. When the payment is received the student’s name will be placed upon a list^of insureds that is attached to they policy. The program haS^the support of the PTA, the school board, the 'prin cipals and the "leathers, but the most enthusiastic praise comes from those who were unfortunate * *** — *_i_ *r* ■— — * — »■ - • enough to sustain injuries during the past school year. , Mr. Carr further stated that the coverage of the policy goes into force one hour before school »< 4 • takes in and insures the students against any type if accident that occurs while'on the way to school.

As a starter* let’s take a look_ at the finanacial side of the pie ture, a one million dollar boa* issue was authorized for Thnd improvements and $250,000 tor a new courthouse. To get the traa> picture, however, the sum off $401,037-30 must be added t» the million for schools, this money being that allotted to the oumdg by the State under provisions off (he Act of the 1940 LcgMatnm, Something over a thousand dol lars of the State money ha* As be held in reserve for nhafiai stratiori, leaving just under Ur 400,000 for school oonstrncfiaa and renovation To date, a total of $735,000 off the school bonds have been aaUI •t an average Interest rate ef (1.927%, of the low interest xatr attesting to the county’s financial stability.
