? V ^ Along The Way v. By Emily Kllletto f t he old volumes at ute DUPLIN TIMES contain much information about the attitudes of the local people and one subject often re ported on by the newspaper was prohibition. The 1937 volume of the DUPLIN TIMES carried the following articles about prohibition. One article is just for fan and the other gives a little infprmation about the status of prohibition at that time. Both are reprinted as published in 1937. Prohibition Bill In Legislature January 21,1937 Just as was expected by the observant, a statewide bone-dry prohibition bill is in the General Assembly, and it calls for a statewide vote on whether the State shall be dry or wet. This puts it squarely up to the Legislature as there is no equivocation about the bill. There was none about the Governor's message. He came out for a State vote on the subject, making it clear that as Governor he would abide by the results. Eighteen counties have set up liquor stores, and some of these would like to continue to have a monopoly of the liquor business in thtjr sections. However, there is strong objection on the part of many people to their continuance as already there has been noted an increase in drunken driving on the highways. The bill now before the House proposes to include these 18 counties in the vote. Already the wet leaders are pro testing that a statewide referendum is npt a fair way to deal with the situation, that Currituck has no right to $ay what Cherokee does about the liqpor question, as 500 miles sepa rates them. So, they have come out strong for local option, letting each coi)nty decide for itself how it will deaLwith the liquor problem. Tl)is is the condition that existed prior to 1908 when the State voted for ^statewide prohibition. Except (hat conditions are reversed, then all ot the State had gradually been voted d*y. leaving them only a few wet counties, while the State has been dry for a quarter of a century, a few counties have gone over to the liquor forces after being dry. The best guess that one can make now is that a statewide vote will be ordered by the Legislature, but it will only come after a strenuous fight, according to legislative observers. That it will be a fact that many of the leading dry proponents in the state, such as Dr. William Louis Poteat, have actively lined up for a battle and the wet leaders will of necessity have to do likewise or else surrender. There will be no half way or namby pamby steps permitted by the dry forces, which are so thoroughly aroused.

Ezry Drink water Students, Employers Gain Through Co-Op Education ( Earning while they were learning, cooperative vocational education students in 128 of North Carolina's 142 public school systems racked up a total of 15 1 million hours on the job, earning more than S54.7 million in wages during the 1984-85 school year and the previous summer. These facts are drawn from the annual Vocational Education Cooperative Wage and Hour report issued by the Division of Vocational Education's information system in the Department of Public Instruc tion. Participating in the co-op pro grams during the school year were 18,977 students and 762 teacher coordinators. There were 8,013 summer session students, super vised by 485 teacher-coordinators. (Totals are not cumulative, as some are in both sessions.) For the school year in Duplin County, wages totaled $107,770 or $2,072.50 per student and the stu dents worked a total of 33,238 hours, or 639.19 hours per student. Program Areas As usual for several years, the largest contingent of students was fielded by marketing and distributive progams: 8,101 during the school vear (nearly 43 percent) and 3.479 summer students (nearly 47 per cent). This program area's title has recently been shortened to "market ing education." Trade and Industrial Education's Industrial Cooperative Training (ICT) programs were second with 6,860 or 36 percent, and 3060 or 38 percent. Nearly tied for third were business and office education with 1,557 for the regular session, or eight percent, and 522 for the summer, or 6.5 percent, and special programs with 1,698 or 8.9 percent, and 430 or 5.4 for the summer. Special programs designates job-skill development programs specifically for disadvan taged and handicapped students. Occupational nome economics signed up 547 students or about 3 percent of the total for the school year and 116 or 1.4 percent of the summer total; agricultural education enrolled 207 co-op students during the school year, or just over 1 percent of the total, and 136 or nearly 2 percent of the summer total. In Duplin County, marketing edu cation had a total of 120 students enrolled with 52 of those co-op students. Agricultural education had 12 enrolled with seven co-op stu dents. Co-op Pays Dividends Cooperative vocational education combines in-school instruction and on-the-iob experience, resting on a contract among the student, teacher coordinator, and employer. Both instruction and job experience are related to the student's occupational objectives. "In addition to gains in attitudes, knowledge and skills, the co-op student produces benefits for the employer and receives at least the minimum wage, as well as receiving school credits," said Dr. Clifton B. Belcher, state director of vocational education. He observed that the programs produce appreciable returns on the modest investment of public funds involved, in the follow ing respects: ? Students benefit through access to work experience with equipment and procedures actually in use, becoming acquainted with personnel on the job in the private sector and income that is usually needed. ? Employers benefit from teacher-supervised production, a worker in training, and a prospective employee already grounded in work ings of the job site. ? Employers in effect "loan" their equipment and operational system to schools without having it leave their facilities. ? .iUiooIs, and taxpayers benefit by savings on equipment and learning stations as well as from real life teaching by experienced prac titioners. ? Through expenditures and taxes, students contribute to stimu lation of local, state and national economies. ? In certain instances, employ ers are eligible for tax credits for employing co-op students. "All tdd. we are sure that the cooperative education programs in our public schools have provided for many years, and will continue to provide, benefits to our society that far outweigh their coats," Belcher concluded.
