Spring Was Late This Year But It's Finally Gotten Here
1
y
This long line was a long time in forming since this year Eastern North Carolina has suffered j
the coldest spring in recent memory, which has curtailed activity around the old swimming hole ]
and Kinston swimming pools. But on Monday the late spring sun finally bore down and the line (
extended half a block back from the door to Emma Webb Pool, and as can be seen in the picture, j
one young man was jumping for joy, or the photographer. And this happy line on a hot spring day ]
is an apt time to bring in a few reminders about how the happiest holiday can turn suddenly into ]
tragedy if basic safety rules are ignored in all water sports. Among these important lifesavers '
are: 1. Never swim alone. 2. Never swim immediately after meals. 3. Never try to do more in or <
on the water than you really know you can do. 4. Remember that sun and water are a combi
nation that can turn pale skins into painful blisters. 5. Never encourage another person to- go d
beyond his depth or his endurance in any water sport.
cultural improvement of the
culturally deprived in Lenoir
County Schools.
Lenoir County school per
sonnel headed up the planning
for this program early this year.
Poverty was determined in four
Negro schools: Banks, Frink,
Savannah, and Woodington.
The researchers identified the
needs of the disadvantaged chil
dren: language arts, culture, au
dio and speech development,
physical fitness, health service,
kindergarten training, in-service
training and a central instruc
tional media center.
These needs if fulfilled were to
give “better advantage to the
disadvantaged,” and provide an
educational solution to their
problems.
The budget for the plan is
$707,421.06, resembling machine
gun fire more than shotgun fire.
Included in the budget was
$44,144 for filmstrips, $10,400
for maps, globes, and charts,
$120,000 for library books, $5,
400 for 120 record players, $17,
440 for 82 filmstrip viewers, and
$10,000 for playground equip
ment. Eighty teacher aides, 30
new secretaries, four nurses, and
one psychologist were part of
the enlargement of the adminis
tration.
However, only four new class
room teachers were to be added.
(1 per school) A central media
center was established (as an
“adult check-out center” of
equipment for the disadvantag
ed). Thirty-two mobile trailers
for additional space for the ad
ditional personnel were purchas
ed.
Through testing, the research
ers found the disadvantaged to
have a below grade placement
ranging as low as four years one
month below grade level.
They evaluated the causes as
lack of oral and written expres
sion, and poverty. An attack was
begun on a “subculture” in aes
thetic appreciation.
For example, in the music field,
“fine recorded music” was to be
played through the intercom sys
tem before and after school and
coordinated with music lessons.
“Simple information about the
composer is to be given. Persis
tent and repetitious reminders
"*** a woucio wlin me
composer’s name and picture are
to be posted in hallways and
classrooms. Full-length mirrors
were place at several hallway lo
cations and in each room.
“Grooming is thought to be a
part of culture.”
One of the basic objectives
was the improvement of the self
image. The researchers felt that
much frustration was involved
with the chlidren who had to
exist in two areas of communica
tion, one with his home and sub
culture and one with his teach
ers and “more fortunate mem
bers of society.”
Baselines for evaluation were
established for comparative re
sults of before and after the pro
gram was begun, based on ob
servation and testing. Project
Director Frank Wiley, the chief
of staff for this army, reported
this week that the results of the
evaluation would not be publish
ed until the latter part of the
summer.
