son of Mrs. John C. Sanford
of Mocksville, N. C., has been J
decorated with the U. S. Air-
Force Commendation Medal
at a forward U. S. Air Force

vice as hospital commander at
I Whiteman AFB, Mo. He was
cited for his outstanding pro

PUBLISHED THURSDAY
Mocksville area and most of
William R. Davie.
Build south of Mocksville
a new elementary school for
approximately 960 students,
located so as to serve the
Coaleemee and Fork areas.
The Committee recommend
ed that the electorate give
permission to issue $3,000,900.
in school bonds to f inane*
these three schools.
The Committee for Bettor
Schools also recommend*4
that the electorate give per
mission to the County Board
of Commissioners to levy a
supplemental tax up to s.ll
for current expense for the
purpose of providing a S2OO.
yearly supplement for all pro
fessional school personnel of
the Davie County Schools and
for securing additional special
area personnel for the school*.
The above recommendations
were formulated by the Citi
zens Committee for Better
Schools after an intensive thir
, teen-months' study of our ele
mentary schools. The 48 menv
i bers of the committee de
i Urmined these needs through
numerous meetings tor the
purpose of determining the
needs of the schools; througfc
visits to each elementary
school for a first-hand exami
nation of existing facilities;
through a meeting with the
N. C. Department of Educa
tion Evaluation Team to bear
thsir Engineering and Curri
culum evaluation of the Datfe
County Schools, and through
the Committees' own compiled
report of the existing building
and curriculum needs as they
determined by their own in
vestigations.
The Committee did not rec
ommend any renovation or
expansion of the present ele
mentary schools. Due to the
age and condition of these
schools, they determined that
renovation would not be fee*'
ible because of existing con
ditions. 101 of 111 elementary
classrooms do not meet the
minimum standards of Um
North Carolina State Depart
ment of Public Instruction.
The Committee recommend
ed the supplemental tax levy
to assist the Board of Edu
cation in recruiting and re»
taining capable teachers for
the schools. S2OO would stil
