Board Opens Bids
OnFour-Room
School Addition
At the recsnt August board meet
ing of the County Board of Educa
tion, bids were opened on the four
rooin addition U> the W. S. King
School Morchead City, and on the
heating system for the agriculture
shop at Smyrna High.
Bids on the King school were
accepted as follows: general con
tractor, Craven Construction and
Engineering Co., New Bern, $26,
335; heating, Styron Plumbing and
Heating Co., Morchead City, $2,
695; electricity, Hatscll's Electric
Co., Beaufort, $1,354.50.
Because the cost of tying in the
new shop at Smyrna with the entire
school heating system seemed high,
the board requested bids on heat
ing the building separately with
its own plant. It was decided, how
ever, after bids on separate heat
ing of the shop were considered,
to accept the original bid made
by Beaufort Plumbing and Heat
ing last November.
That bid was $3,358.62 to con
nect the shop with the whole
school heating system.
The agriculture shop was in
spected July 25 by the state and
approved. The shop was built at
a cost of $32,000.
The board turned down a request
for a right of way along the new
school building on Harkcrs Island.
Owen 9. Fulford, Harkcrs Island,
and another man own property
near the school. The board felt that
since the Fulford property is not
directly behind the school prop
erty, no casement could be given,
stating further that the school
needs all the property it owns and
cannot afford to give up space for
a road.
Robert W. Saint Jr., chairman
of the bo;?rd, presided at the meet
ing. All board members were pres
ent, W. B. Allen, Theodore Smith,
D. Mason, George R. Wallace, and
the clerk to the board, II. L. Jos
lyn.

Morehcad City fire department and

Governor Speaks Saturday

Director of Championship
Band Lists 'Reasons Why'
In a brief interview after the
Winyah School band concert Sat
urday afternoon on Arendell Street,
the director gave two requisites
for a good school band.
Instead of mentioning "good mu
sicians" or "long practice hours"
as you might expect, W. W. Jaco
bus, director of the national cham
pionship band, said the two things
that make a good band are:
1. Opportunity to travel
2. Community support
Mr. Jacobus ought to know
whereof he speaks, for his young
sters, including seventh to twelfth
graders, for three consecutive
years have been judged the best
school band in the nation.
The band has traveled from Tex
as to New York City. On Sept. 2
they will go to Atlantic City to
lead the parade in the Miss Ameri
ca pageant, and then on to New j
York for another appearance.
The opportunity to "sec the
world," so to speak, makes the
youngsters work hard. In the
marching band are 54 and entire
band membership numbers 70.
Booster Club
In Georgetown, S. C., home of
the Winyah band, is the Winyah
Band Booster Club which annually
raises between $7,000 and $10,000,
Mr. Jacobus said, to pay band
expenses. Georgetown, incidentally
is not a big city. Its population is
31,762.

request, a Morehead gallery
or foyer.

from the reviewing stand Saturday
afternoon. It met with resounding
applause.

from Mr. Morehead congratulating
the mayor and members of the
Centennial committee "upon a
most successful Centennial celebra

eight week illness, adding. "You
