coliseum has approximately
( twelve thousand five hundred
■eats.
In uptown Raleigh we visit
ed the Natural History Mus

Museum there were stuffed
animals of all kinds, including
, buffalo. Also there were
snakes, turtles, and the

There is a large portrait of

LOCAL CHILDREN HELP
INDIA FAMINE VICTIMS
The foimtin grades of the

will send money on Friday
to the Board of Work! Mis
sions, designating the fund
,o be used to aid India fam
ine victims. They expect to
have $25.00 by that day to
send to the children of India.
Anyone can send money and
specify where they want it
used and for what purpose.
This is a very worthy pro>act
and the children have been
enthusiastic in collecting the
money to send to the more
unfortunate. The fourth grade
class of 'Mrs. Mary S. Davis,
has appointed Janet Aithey as
treasurer and they have do
nations amounting to $14.25
and the class of Mrs. Richard
Beck collected $10.75.
Another means of contri
buting funds to India, maty
he made through CARE, 615
FOrsyth St Building, Atlanta,
Ga. 30303.
The epring and summer
months will be the desperate
season in the states of Bihar
and Utter Pradesh, India.
From April into July at
least, 40 million people --hail

Questions and Answers
QUESTION: What will happen to these abandoned
schools is new schools are constructed?
ANSWER: Legally, public buildings must be dis
posed of through a public auction. However, the Board
of Education has a right to reject these bids. If the
community desired these buildings for their own use,
sane agreement with the Bsaid of Iflarattou could
possibly be reached.
—QUESTION: Will larger schools make better
schools?
ANSWER: Yes, more blocked areas of subject
matter may be offered; more special teuchen earn he
provided fat areas such as physical education and
reading; a large variety of materials and equipment
will be available for students and touchers; and, a
larger school provides more efficiently for the needs
of the individual students.
QUESTION: What effect will these schools have on
the Ink transportation system?
ANSWER: Routes should be shorter; buses should
have tu travel fewer miles te their iliatiaatlsn and
routes should be less diuuHsus than at prtnent with
has back-tracking on most of thee rente.
