Rockfish Duplin Schools Would Get Nearly A Million From Bond Issue nui uuiy wiu uic eituiraie choose between the Democratic and the Republican candidates from constable to President on November 3, but the voters will have a choice whether or not one hundred million dol lars in bonds will be issued for school buildings. The Statewide bond issue is urgently needed, school offici als say. because many cities and counties have now reached or are approaching the statu tory limit for school bond in debtedness, or are burdened with large financial obligations for other essential services. Dr. Charles F. Carroll, State Superintendent of Public In struction. declared, ''If more of the 1,200.000 pupift and the 46,000 teachers and principals in the public schools of North Carolina are to be housed in comfortable and decent build ings. a major construction pro gram with State aid must be undertaken now. If the people in the 100 counties do not ch oose on November 3 to use tile State building aid potentially a valiable, the total burden of the cost must necessarily be borne by the counties themselves." The General Assembly iu 19 63 in authorizing the bond is sue stipulated the amount of the proceeds from the bond is sue that shall go to each coun ty and city unit ine money win oe aismoui ed to the counties on the bas is of the per capita average daily m? ^hership for the 1961 62 school year. Duplin had an average membership of 10.969 and will receive for school con struction from this bond issue $968,151.38 During t!ie last fourteen years the Duplin school enroll ment has increased 338. from 10.898 in 1949 to 11,236 in 1963 During this same period the school personnel, teacher*, principals, etc., have increased by 80. from 344 in 1949 to 424 in 1963 The State Superintendent re quested each school unit to sub mit a realistic and defensible estimate of the building needs as of Sept. 1, 1964. Duplin re ported that we need OS class rooms, 7 libraries. 12 shops, 2 home economics rooms, 9 mu sic rooms. 4 multi-purpose rooms. 4 lunchrooms, 3 audi toriums and 11 gymnasiums. The voters will decide on No vember 3 by the General tion whether these builidngs should be constructed by Dup lin County without State aid, or if it would be wise to share in a Statewide fund that is al lotted according to the number of pupils rather than the ability to pay ?SBBU1HK A group of Vwnw and Kenanavflle Citizens visited National Wplairtag Company in WUteViDe on last Thuraday.
