(This is the second of series
of articles concerning the find
ings and recommendations of the
- State Education commission,
which is making Its report to the
Governor and General Assembly
of 1949 after a study of North
Carolina public schools).
The State of North Carolina
should assume maior financial res
ponsibility for capital outlay, main
tenance and debt service in the
public school system, according to
the report of the State Education
commission.
This is necessary, the commis
sion says, to guarantee nearer
equality of educational opportu
nities . in a minimum financial
foundation program for all child
ren in the state.
In the report of the commis
sion's finance .committee, headed
by Arch T. Allen of Raleigh, it
was recommended that the state
plan to pay from 70 to 90 per cent
of a foundation program. Under
the program, the other 10 to 30
per cent would be made up from
local taxes collected by the coun
ties in proportion to taxpaying
"ability. , .
Proponents of the plan point out
that such a system is nothing new.
They say it has been successful in
Alabama, and Florida; that it is
being considered for adoption by
South Carolina, Georgia, and Mis
sissippi, and that some other stales
ve adpoted variations of the
plan.
'The plan conforms with sound
principles of school fi.iance and
economics," the report continues.
"The counties whose financial pro
gram will require significant in
creases in local funds probably are
those counties whose valuations
have been lower than the average
ratio to true value."
. The cost of such a foundation
program would . be based upon
classroom utiits determined from
average daily attendance.

ganized thirty-five years ago by
local citizens. This bank as well

closed Its doors during the fi
nancial crash of 1933.
By F. C. Salisbury
Back in 1913 when Morehead
City was enjoying a period of ex
pansion in its commercial activi
ties, business interests were of the
opinion that another bank ' was
needed to promote and carry on
the city's expanding growth.
Previous to that time the Bank
of Morehead City had been organ
ized and on March 24, 1909 opened
for business. The capital stock at
that time was given as $10,000.
Four years later, on January 27,
1913, the Marine Bank came into
existence, having been organized
with a capital stock of $15,000. Of
ficers and directors of this bank at
its start were Chas; S. Wallace,

Carteret county is one of those
counties where good citizenship
and a low crime rate are reflected
in the willingness of its citizens to
perform grand jury service. Judge
Paul Frizzelle. of Snow Hill, told
the members of the grand jury
as the October term of superior
, court convened yesterday morning
After calling upon grand jurors
selected for duty to submit rea
j sons why they should not serve,
I if any. Judge Frizzelle expressed
gratification that only four asked
to be excused, two of whom re
ceived his consent.
In delivering his charge to the
jury, the judge remarked that in
counties where men selected for
' jury duly offer poor excuses ;nd
want to shirk the duty, there is an
unusual amount of crime.
Conversely, he observed, in
counties where "trilling and in
consequential excuses" are not of
fered. a hiah rale of good citizen
ship and law abiding citizens are
j found
"I hae not heard an excuse of
fered this morning that was not
predicated on a sound reason," he
remarked.
Judge Frizzelle said he was im
pressed with the smallness of the
Carteret county criminal docket
for superior court trial this term.
Ten cases are on the docket.
"One of the chief explanations
for them," he remarked, "is that
you have good officials in this
county Particularly, you have good
court officials."
The judge then proceeded to
commend the various court offic
ials, calling some by mime. He
complimented Judge Lambert Mor
ris and Solicitor Leslie Davis, paus
ing to recall an experience which
he and Mr. Davis had together as
lawyaaa-oetore tea bar in 1913.
The superior court solicitor, W.
J. Rundy, the clerk. A. II. James,
and Sheriff Holland also received
tributes from the judge as he ad
dressed the grand jury.
"All of you know you have in
your sheriff a man who is faithful
to his calling," Judge Frizzelle
said.
Two specific duties were urged
upon the grand jury. Judge Friz
zelle cautioned them to inspect
carefully the school buses to in
sure the STfety nf the children,
and he reminded them that the
law requires them to visit all pub
lic offices for a check up.
"I want to impress upon you as
emphatically as I can that every
one of you should welcome this op
portunity to serve your state," the
judge told the grand jurors.
Every man should feel that it is

For twenty years this institution
helped serve the thanking needs of
this community, but along with
other banks of the 1933 depression,
it was unable to ride the financial
storm, passing on into banking his
tory. Following the ctose of the bank
the building passed into other
hands. Used for a time to house
various offices, it was remodeled
