'na Dm MM FmIImt Ilk We discovered this week that THE NEW-STttffiS Mat eartaic residents of Markers Island. We have always been under the impression that Markers Island was one of the garden spots of Carteret county, that it was the up and coning summer resort section of the Carteret coast, and we, in no way, want to cast aspersion on it. However, several of the persons who live there took personal of lease to a aewsstory which speared ia Tuesday' NEWS-TIMES, ? story with which they had bo connection other than the fact that the principal lives on the island. We received a letter from one laland lesident, which, if [ printed, would have been libelous, in other words damaging to the character of the person about wham the letter was written; we received a phone call from another prominent resident of the island whose thinking was beclouded by anger, whe, we doubt, could not be made to believe facts won U they were presented to him as sworn statements. - We are sorry if we hsve caused any resident of Harkers Island undue consternation or grief, but it will take more than that to make THE MEWS-TIMES deviate, from its path of printing the news as it happens. Wfcuiu JwirffaJioa Lies . . . Noting tbe action of the board of education in seeking bids for tbe building of the new school at Atlantic, and hearing that there is resentment on the Outer Banks regarding consolidation of tbe Matters*, Avon, and Buxton schools, we pulled from our files an editorial which appeared recently in the Greensboro Daily News, one which all of us who are interested in the county school program should read? and remember, when we feel like Jumping on the county board of education or the county com missioners for not administering the school program just the way we think it ought to be done. The editorial follows: School Building Regulations If there was any idea that the counties could go ahead and spend the funds made available by tbe late General Assembly and the bond election of June 4 for school building purposes as they saw fit, it was dealt a knockout blow by action taken by the State Board of Education at its meeting Fridsy. And the board's action, setting up conditions Under which such funds might be expended, -was wholly in accord, as we see it, with the Legislature's intention, since it stipulated that expendi ture and disbursement of both the state aid and the bond pro ceeds should be "under the direction and supervision of the State Board of Education," and in keeping with the State's obli gation te safeguard its own funds and to mold the public school system on the state level. Among the major requirements enumerated by the board are: (1) Distribution of money to city and county units within a given county on a per capita dally school membership; (2) usage of funds for building, improving or repairing school build ings and not for teacherages and principals' homes; (3) "just and. equitable" expenditure of funds between races; (4) stipula tion that each county and city unit make a survey of its school ?facilities for planning purposes and, along with detailed data, submit its plans to the state board's division of school house plan ning; and (S) avattjittlity of funds, under the lew, as building projects are approved under these regliltftions.' ' It becomes ap parent, therefore, tha| the ultinate say, as to aehoft) buildings, their facilities, their need and even their location will rest with the state beard, as it should when the state is putting up 4he money, and that we shall thus make substantial progress tm consolidation, in sound building practices and planning and attainment of that equality of educational opportunity for every child which, although the underlying principle 0 our edacaKoaal program, has not been lived up to end is not likely to he until approached en the state level and decreed under state pressure or compulsion. With theee building funds fct the state board's hands for disbursement and supervision, the lever is now available to get things which have too long gone undone done In the name of soundness, fsirness aad educational effectiranase.

It was nothing serious, but enough to worry Carolina alumni . , .of which Raleigh has its full share.

KNOCKS FARM JBCREAU . . , The current i^eue' of "Southern Farmer," / Aubrey Williams' periodical published in ,*ont (fomery, Ala., has as its main fea ture an article on "North Caro lina's Farmer-Governor." In Uris spread, Gov. Kerr Scott is quoted as follows: "The larger land owners and tt|e business ele ment dominate the Farm Bureau. I don't see how the small farmer can he heard under the present setup." While the Governor, a dyed-in the-wool Grange man, has made similar statements in private, (his is the first time his feelings on this powerful farm organiza tion (80,000 members in N. C.) have been made public. This opinion no doubt coincides with that of Editor Williams a Farmers Union man who constantly nags at county farm agents if they as ?iat in the work of the Faro Bur eau. ' v Big farmers or not, the Farm Bureau? a million-member organ ization ? haa accomplished more for the American farmer, large and small, than all the reat of the farm organisation combined.
