Any man who fared badly as
a prisoner of war in World War
in World War II is due for some
consolation from Uncle Sam if
he will only make application,
County Service Officer Darris
Koonce says. If while a prison
er of the enemy a soldier did not
receive clothing and food equal
to the standards- of the Geneva
Conference rules he is due to get
one dollar for each day of the
hardship. But application for
the consolation must be made,
and he will help, Koonce says.
Jones County’s progress to
ward a. new consolidated high
school through the assistance ol
$336,000 in state funds came to
an abrupt halt last week. The
County Board of Education found
that the asking price for a con
templated school site *ta6 far
beyond its financial means. The
county must supply the land.
The state funds are for construc
tion only.
The board found that the price
pf the proposed 20-acre site was
$200 per acre, although listed at
only four, dollars on the tax
books, it was reported.
The board adjourned for fur
ther looking around, mid current
reports are that the effort is
promising. It has been learned
that another site near the first
surveyed is available and may
be even better than the first
However, the preliminary sur
veying will have to be done
again apd time lost in the be
ginning of the construction.
Another promising prospect of
the board’s further search for a
site is that the new one may
come to the county use for a
nominal sum, if at any cost at
all. Veteran school observers
say that more than 50 such sites
have been donated to the coun
ty, in sizes ranging from one acre
up, since the beginning of the
Jones County public school sys
tem.
