THE JONES COUNTY ^ftJMBER 43 TRENTON, N. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1966 VOLUME xvn 'Culturally Deprived' Children to Get Intensified Training Under Programs In the past week Kinston and Lenoir County school officials have announced approval of their plans for intensified ef forts in certain schools with the highest percentages of “cul turally deprived” children. Having received the Washing ton-Raleigh stamps of approval the county system is to receive $707,421.00 to be used in four of its 11 schools and the Kins ton system is to receive $297, 307.82 to be used in seven of its nine schools. Both programs most basically are aimed at “language arts de velopment,” which means teach ing 'children how to read and to comprehend what they are reading. The county program will be conducted in four colored schools: Frink, Bank’s Chapel, Woodington and Savannah. The city program embraces all schools except Northwest and and Teachers Memorial. County Plan The county plan involves em-! ployment of 168 additional peo-' pie to work in these four schools and in the office of the county superintendent. These 4 schools presently have 156 teachers and 83 non-teaching personnel. Total payroll in the county sys tem is now 592, and this addi tion of 168 will push it to 760. Pay range for the director of the program is from $737 to $900 per month on a 12-month basis. One “media specialist” will be employed on a 12-month basis at the range of $638 to $800 month. His job will be supervis ion of all audio-visual training and training aids in these four schools. i One “media technician” to maintain the audio-visual equip ment will be employed in the range of $463 to $500 per month. One language arts supervisor not to exceed $600, one book keeper frofti $360 to $450, one psychologist' from $500 to $600 four counsellors from $500 to $550, four nurses from $457 to $550, four library assistants for 9% months from $200 to $250, 80 teacher’s aides from $200 to $250, 20 teachers’ secretaries from $200 to $250, and one ad .* ministrative secretary from $313 4o *880. m Implementation of this pro gram is to begin about March 1st as soon as personnel can be em ployed in the various fields. The county program also calls for $120,000 spent on new books for libraries, $87,620 for audio visual aides to be kept in a cen tral pool and $100,720.06 in au dio-visual aides to be assigned these four schools.

Salter, 21-year employee of Barrus Construction Company, suffered injuries from which he died several hours later at Ons low Memorial Hospital in Jack sonville. The accident took place at the Belgrade stone quar ry when Salter walked into the path of a truck that was being backed up to a loading station.

The county plan also includes rental of 23. mobile classrooms. Kinston Plan The Kinston plan differs con siderably from the county plan I in that it has scheduled a heavy J program of remedial reading! and pre-school classes for the summer months, something not' possible in the county system be- i cause of the transportation prob-, lem. The pay ranges for new work-! ers to be hired in the city sys-j tern are comparable to those set \ for the county program. Includ-' ed are a project director, pre - school coordinator, reading spec ialist, psychologists, four nurs es, 14 teacher aides, one book-1 keeper and one secretary. | TTie city plan involves a much1 greater use of present person nel in beginning because of the summer program. There will be 10 classes for six weeks in the summer of reme dial reading, 25 classes of 15 chil dren each in the kindergarten j program and all of these sum mer classes will be conducted: by existing personnel. j Kinston Superintendent Max Abbott and Assistant Superin tendent Jack Davis, who is large ly supervising the setting up of j this accelerated program, say , that next September additional ( workers will be hired for train- . ing in operation of a 5-month one-school program that is to j begin in January 1967. Also in this first summer mo- ; bile classrooms will be used to. bring the kindergarten to the school in those sections of town where a majority do not attend pre-school classes. Both city and county officials feel that this program will be expanded in coming years, with these additional educational op-.

Three Jones Arrests Jones County Sheriff Brown Yates reports three arrests in the county in the past week Mar jorie Lucille Collins of Maysville was charged with drunken driv ing, Joe Thomas Harvey of New Bern Route 3 was charged with drunken driving and Raymond Earl Koonce of Trenton route 1 was charged with stealing a ear, driving it without a license and I speeding. portunities offered to all chil dren in all schools, rather than on the discriminatory basis of the first trial run which was dictated by federal regulations. These discriminatory federal regulations are aimed as part of the war on poverty program at breaking if at all possible the :ultural cycle that breeds pov erty from generation to gener ition. One school official, who pre 'erred to remain anonymous, igreed that he did not know, md doubted that anyone else knew if this first federal step is a step in the right or wrong direction. But he pointed out that this is the American sys tem: “We isolate a problem and then dump a lot of money on it. Sometimes it helps, and oth er times it doesn’t. We’ll just have to work as hard as we can Probationer Caught With Car, Rifle, Sent to Prison Third Period Honor Roll Listed for Jlones Central High The following students have successfully completed their courses for the third grading period at Jones Central High School with an average of 90 or above on all academic sub jects.
