Lives havc“ been saved and facilities provided to combat tu berculosis, but we have not reach ed the place where we can be com placent in the fight.” Friday, president of the Consoli dated University of North Carolina, pointed out that TB can. and does, strike j>eople of all ages. “Over 1.600 new Cases were found in North Carolina last year. And, although we can be thankful tha* the death rate was only six per 100,000, TB kill's more people tlian Oil other infectious diseases com bii ;d,” he said. “Make no mistake,” Friday con i' ued. “The Drograms supported by Christmas Seals—research, edu cation, case finding, ami rehabilita tion—are needed to protect you and yotlr loved ones.” ->* . Both Gov. Hodges and. Friday ex pressed confidence that “our . citi zens will continue to support our local tuberculosis associations, not only with contributions, but with active interest and participation.” In elaborating on the heed for Christmas Seal supported pro-: grams, Friday contended that-neg lecting any phase' of the- present TB control program would invite Ttisaster because “TB is just-as in fcctious — when undiscovered — as it ever was.” _/ :1; He supported* his ‘contention by saying, ‘ Modern medical treatment has saved lives'but cases must be found to be -treated. Treatment to day is superior to that of the past, but ’there is no certain or perma nent cure. Thus, helping the pa tient regain and maintain his health becomes increasingly im portant as more and more patients escape death. ■ _“Eiducation, too, must not-be neg lected because we depend upon the educational process to win contin ued support for a vital program. ; “Finally, it has befome increas ingly evident that the pre.sent TB, control program, while necessary to prevent regresion, is inadequate to eliminate TB. The key to our ultimate goal, TB eradication," lies in medical and ^ociil research.” ►-—‘----— ■■ —■ Jones Hands In Resignation From Board Clarence D.

Non-Tax Monies Total Urge Sum 's :/ / ,• ~ ^—■■■■•■■——» ** , Tax Funds Don't Carry Full Load For Education; Papa Pays His Share - - • , *>?♦ Public education continues to be “big business’’ in Orange County and despite the widely-held miscon ception, the taxpayer by no means foot* the whole bill. It’s Papa, more often tnan not also doubling in brass in addition as Mr. Taxpaper, who has to come across.ijrtth the final 21 percent of this so-called Free Education wliich oui constitution entitles our chil dren. ' \ What dodfe it cost to send a stu dent to the Orange County Public Schools and who pays the bill? Is our system of public education free, as we are led to believe? We are told often that, the State and the County pay the bill; but the truth is far—very far from it, as most parents long ago began to sus pect. The parents directly and out of their own pockets pay a right sizeable portion. Broken down on a per pupil basis, it coat $223.05 to send a student to school in the Orange County public school system during the 1967-58 fis cal year. Of that amount the State paid $147 48 or 06 percent, the coun ty paid $36,26 or 13 percent, and the students, or their parents, paid $47.32 or 21 percent. None of these figures, of course,, include Capital Outlay expenditures or costs of buildings built with bond money. Elsewhere in this newspaper is an auditor's statement of the re ceipts and disbursements of the in dividual schools o$ Orange County for the school year beginning July 1, 1957 and funning through June 90, 1858. -~ The total receipts were $910,000 and the total disbursements were $214,000. The difference of $4,000 be tween receipts and disbursements was paid from the cash balance carried over from prior years. This sum of $214,000 was the amount col lected by. the various school treas urers, deposited, and spent. By way of comparison, the total county expenditures for schools from ad valorem taxes for 1957-58 were $351,000. Broken down, this would be: Current Expense, $108, 000.; Capital Outlay, $101,000.; and Debt Service (both Orange County and Chapel Hill systems), $141,000. So we can see that the receipts and disbursements for the individual schools in 1957-68 totaled more ($214,000.) than the total Currant Expense and Capital Outlay budgets from ad valorem taxes from t^, county ($210,000.) State Carries Load Of course the State (with expen ditures of $96,895. for 19S7-58) car ried the major part of the load in Current Expenses.-A study of State and County Current expenses last year indicated that 82 percent of 4' . _ a,; Sanford Calls For More School, Farm Emphasis Better educational opportunities and a vigorous agricultural de velopment program comparable to the present industrial promotion al effort in North.
