How Larger High School Units Will Benefit Your Children By LENWOOD LEE Principal, MCHS There are many points to be con sidered when a community or county is faced with an educational decision such as that before the people of this county at this mo ment. The question of consolidation is primary. Although it is already an 'accepted and established trend iu public education today, we still must think of it, as any other pro posed change, in terms of our own situation. Consolidation is not a panacea for all the ills of public education, but it does offer certain definite advantage for us. I should like to call some of these to your atten tion: 1. More of our high school teach ers would be able to teach within their subject specialty-area full time. This should result in more Hammer, county that three family and Scarlet Fever Rumor Spiked Contrary to rumor, no home in the Newport area is quarantined because of scarlet fever, according to Mrs. Loot health nurse. Mrs. Hammer children are ill in one they are under the doctor’s care. Quarantine is no longer put on homes where there is scarlet fever, she added, because the disease has already spread, probably, before it is diagnosed. There is propnyiacuc u commit, today that prevents other members from contracting added- Mrs. Hami that people efficient teaching and learning. Adequate, modern buildings and equipment should help to attract and hold good teachers. 2. More effective grouping for instruction in the basic required courses and elective sequences be cause of more sections being avail able. Multiple sections facilitate gearing to needs of pupils. 3. A pooling of resources in a more uniform approach to the I adoption of improyed standards, practices, and techniques employ ing the talents and skills of the teachers from each of the present schools. 4. A broader base of course of ferings by eliminating the under size sections. That is, certain sec tions in business education in the Morehead City School are some times below 20 whereas 30 or 32 would not be considered an over load. Combination of sections could readily afford additional course of ferings. 5. Concentration of supervisory activities with subsequent program improvement; a much greater con centration of attention by the prin cipal to the particular problems of the high school with no elementary supervision • required. 6. Obviously better facilities for physical education, science, music, shop, and all other subjects as well. 7. Wider vocational opportunities in that agriculture, commercial Tide Table TUes at Bcaafart Bat HIGH Tuesday, March 12 LOW 9:45 a.m. 10:08 p.m. 3:43 a.m. 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, March 13 4:17 a.m. 4:30 p.m. 10:21 a.m. 10:42 p.m. Thursday, March 14 4:49 a.m. 4:54 p.m. 10:57 a.m. 11:15 p.m. Friday, March 15 courses, vocational home econo mics, mechanical drawing, indus trial arts and marine vocations would be available to students from each community. 8. With a full time counsellor much more effective and concen trated guidance -services would be offered to all high school students. The supervision of the county guid ance counsellor could be more di rect and fruitful. t. Improved lighting and ade quate space should result in much higher health standards as well as better learning environment at all levels of instruction. Existing buildings could be converted into adequate housing for the elemen tary school program. Elementary students will benefit thereby also. 10. Principals in charge of ele mentary schools can concentrate on the program at that level with out the diversion of athletics, and the many other responsibilities of the high school. 11. With more space available a better organization of the junior high type school for grades 7 and 8 could be more readily attained. 12. The whole job of administer ing and supervising die schools will be greatly aided. 13. All children learn better when elementary and high school ages with their different needs and pro grams can be housed in different or separate campuses. 14. The combined library resour ces and better facilities should re sult in a much stronger instruc tional program. A trained full time librarian would greatly enhance the utpteation of library material? for students and teachers as well. Each student would have access to far more books, periodicals, and other library materials. 15. The services of a well-trained director of band and choral music to broaden the aesthetic opportuni ties of all our students. IS.

MYF Leader ► Firemen Go To Three Fires The Beaufort fire department was quite busy Friday afternoon, ac cording to fire chief Gerald Wool ard. In the course of two hours, from 12:30 until 2:30 the fire department answered three calls. The first came at 12:25, a grass fire at the home of Jeanne Perry. Less than an hour later the de partment went to the home of Otis Warren, North River. This was the most serious of the three fires as the barn at the War ren home was partially destroyed and a large amount of damage was done to a tractor. The fire started when Warren was starting his tractor. It back fired, causing a fire to start in some hay in the barn. Warren fell from the tractor and later was taken to Morehead City hospital. The third call was another grass fire in Otway.

By MARTIN HOLLOWAY Two boys in a skiff discovered an object in the chan nel at the end of Kinston avenue extension at Atlantic Beach Saturday afternoon that later unfolded the facta in a two-vear-old mystery. Early Sunday afternoon a small Henry J. automobile containing the badly decomposed body of Mrs. Edith Mane Forbes, 44, Tarboro, wass raised from the channel. Chief BUI Moore, Atlantic Beach, said the discovery solved a mys tery that began April l, 1961. The boys in the skiff were the sons of William Barts, Atlantic Beach. They reported the under water object to their father who recalled that a car had disappear ed in that vicinity about two years i>«0. Mr. Barts notified chief Moore who in turn contacted sheriff Kob hert (Bobby) Bell, because the place | where the car was found is outside the town of Atlantic Beach. Kinston avenue runs north from the beach town hall toward Bogue sound, it ends a short distance from the water. Sheriff Bell contacted Connie Wil lis, a Morehead City diver, and asked if Willis would do some div ing Sunday morning. Willis was scheduled to leave early in the morning to go on active duty Coast Guard training at Norfolk. So Sheriff Bell called the officer in charge of the training at Nor folk to obtain permission for Willis to stay here Sunday. About 10:30 Sunday morning, Willis dipped into the icy waters of the channel and reported the object was an automobile, but it was completely covered by bar nacles and he could not tell if there was a body inside the car. An attempt was made to pull the car up with a wrecker, but that didn’t work, because the rear of the car was against the bank. Then Mart Bell, Morehead City dragline operator, was contacted. Chains were put around the car and it was lifted, straight tip dram the water. As the car came up, the left door flew open and all kinds of shellfish and other marine animals tumbled out, the sheriff said. So did the bones of the person who had been in the driver’s seat. The remains were identified by checking with Mrs. Gladys Lane, Atlantic Beach, sister of Mrs. For bes. Mrs. Lane said that Mrs. For bes, at the time she disappeared, was wearing a bulky turtle neck sweater, over a one-piece beige dress and had on high-heeled shoes. The sheriff said the shoes were on the floorboard of the car where Mrs. Forbes’ feet would have been. Sheriff Bell said that the night of April 1, 1961, Herbert Kelly, who operates the service station at 28th and Arendell streets, Morehead City, went to Mrs. Lane’s home where he was called to start Mrs. Forbes’ car and put 1961 license tags on it. The car had not been used for a while. Mrs. Laae, who lives across from the beach police station, said that her sister, Mrs. Forbes, was leaving to go to Fayetteville, where (See CAR Pg. 4) Mary Brady, Joseph Clapsaai »a ry K.
