The HiHsbora Parent Teacher Association Tuesday night passed a resolution calling upon the Coun- ] ty Board to call an election on the proposal to levy a supplementary tax for schools on a county-wide basis. . . " The endorsement of the county wide school supplement came fol lowing an address by Clarence. D Jones; « mem ber . of the County Board of Education, and was pro p.sed by Bonner D. Sawyer, chair man' of the Hillsboro district ad visory committee. Jones in his remarks emphasized that school expenditures during the past 10 years have not. kept pace with .improved living stand ards and incom<* advances a n d that schools, therefore, are suf fering from this lag. •Expendi tures for schools have increased 38 percent in the past 10 years,” he said, "while the per capita inerme has gone up 54 percent in the same period.” In justification of tht position that focal communities arc going to have to assume a greater share pf the burden for better schools if we attf to,*4l«wfc ttesBr,-* Jeaiffl pointed to r&eni expressions by Governor Lutfiet Hodges to the effect thatltWe state “can ne#r and will never” be able to meet the teacher pay .situation by. it self. “If we are to enrich our curriculum and provide the type of program which our state and children must have, we should ex pect to contribute substantially at the local level with proper regard to the local ability to pay," the governor has said. Jones emphasized that a sup plementary tax should be used for .improving instruction and services and not for buildings. He retail ed that there had been widespread interest in a supplement locally ve'.t and that the Grange County PTA Council had gone on record as favoring such a proposal at that time. He told of supplements re cently voted in neighboring coun ties and offered a fist of sugges tions of some .of the services and benefits which might be pfovided from funds derived from such a supplementary tax. They included: / 1; Provide extra teachers for each of seven schools With ten more teachers. This wouid relieve the principals of teaching duties. 2. Supplement physical edu cation teacher-coach for three high. schools. 3. Provide choral instruction for elementary and glee club for ItAs!},. JAssSs. and band f<>r high school ' 4.

Maynard Toler, now proprietor of two stores in Washington. D. C. and Arlington. Va.. which special izes in shots for the* handicapped, oversaw fitting of special shoes to Prince Mashhur of Saudi' Arahia. sun of King Sand, oil-rich ruler beiifg wooed by the y’-, S. State Department on his official visit to rtus county. Toler's experts fitted the 3-year old Prince Mashhur with eight pairs of special white shoes, four size nine for this year and fobr eiao- W* for next year, after Care ful examination, tests and fittings at the Army’s Walter Heed Hos pital in Washington. The young prince suffered a brain, injury at birth and since then has been victim of a slight ease of cerebral palsy, according to nows dispatches. This has caused ,an inability to get his right heel to make proper contact with the ground when he walks. . The shoes and a corrective brace made at Walter Heed are planned as a dual corrective treatment to relieve his difficulty. Should that happen there is no question as to the pleasure of his father, for King Satid is a doting father and all medical and other, experts, heretofore called to aid his son had failed. Toler is the son of Mrs. Bertha ! Toler, now of Greensboro, and | the late G. W, Toler Still living | here in Hillsboro arc his sister,! .Mrs. Luther Boggs, and hk broth ! er.' John Taler.

David Garvin. Health Of ficer of Orange, Person, Chatham and L,Pe I'odntiov is t ygor to re mind the people of these counties ol the importance of-completing polio- vaccination* before July f. either by private physicians or the UcatilT' Pc.parimcnt. . It '.is doubtful that federal funds will be provided for Health Depart ment’ participation in the vaeci nation program' after that date. THs Salk vaccine supph is now ample to immunize the entire pop illation .between the ages of 3 months to'40 years. The Health Departments- through federal funds are able*, t • immunize (3 vaccinations, specifically spaced) all children and only expectant, mothers in the. age group 20-4!). Experience in 1956 I’ 1 to Mass Immunization. Program shows that Hie older the person is when strick en by polio the -more devastating the effects of the1 disease. Recog nizing the fact, that 70*., “of all respiratory eases are 20 "'years or. didtfr, the death rate Is aboilf. 5 times ys high in the adult group as in .young children The inci dence of extensive paralysis with permanent Crippling is about 4 time*, ay high in the adult group as in children. Therefore in the" light -of these facts—peopke -front 20 to>40 years of age are now urged ; to start their polio, vaccinations; not later.than March I. Get these vaccinat+ons-sfrom your private physician. ■ Full protection( 3 vaccinations! is adequate protection far years , to come.
