Score Card Needed to Keep Up With Fast Game of Education Skullduggery Someone needs to quickly print a score card and fact sheet on the mixed up state of education in Jones County. Consider: Jones County school officials are moving along with prepara tions for a May 31st hearing with Department of Health, Educa tion and Welfare on the question of deferred federal funds to the local school unit. Congressman L. H. Fountain, whose second congressional dis trict does NOT include Jones County, has issued a statement in which he said Jones County and three other school districts had been REMOVED from the deferred list because the Depart ment of Poor Health, Not Much Education and Too Much Wel fare had violated a law he had gotten through congress; which law says the HEW flunkies must give any school district placed on the deferred list a public hearing within 60 days or that school district automatically comes off the frequently afore mentioned deferred list. Jones County school officials say they know nothing about that part of the law, and so far as they know the Jones County School System is still on that de ferred list. Jones County Board of Edu cation Attorney Donald Brock has been quoted as saying he’d like to see a copy of Congress man Fountain’s statement. Nobody has yet suggested simply looking at what Congress man Fountain says the law is. The Washington law firm Gov ernor Dan Moore is paying $35, 000 for work on this mess hasn’t been heard from. And a Kinston Daily Free Press reporter has been so bad ly confused by the whole affair that he has moved Jones Coun ty out of the First Congressional District, where it was just moved a year ago, and has dumped it back into the Third Congression al District. If anybody knows who’s on first, he hasn’t been found in Jones County, the First, Second or Third Congressional districts; in Washington or working in a newspaper office. Ferry Tolls Reduced May 16 on Ocracoke and Southport Ferries The North Carolina State High way Commission has reduced Style Hospital Proposed for Lenoir County Shown in Sketch This is an artist’s rendering of tile style hospital that is under study for Lenoir County, but it is not tiie exact hospital that will be b^ilt hospital shown here is 10 " The original is to be with the ed to kitchen, laundry, labora tory, storage, emergency, operat ing, delivery and recovery room areas. The four nursing floors will include about 70 beds each, and will be served by two nursing stations. The original construction will "d“t (<zs four floors to be built when and as the need may come. The fact that this is not the exact drawing of the Lenoir County hospital is obvious since the architect has not yet been hired to do detailed drawings and cannot be hired unless the bond issue to be voted on June ftcjt that the site has not been purchased is also due to this same lack of funds until the people approve the bond issue. So until the site is known the architect cannot design a build ing to fit the site. But the sketch here is of the type that will be built, and it is the most modern design now be ing used for hospital construc tion. fTyiirilgitiiiiwT? li fares on its two toll ferries ef fective Tuesday, May 16, ac cording to E. H. Baggs, Ferry Operations Manager. Baggs said the new lower rates will go into effect when the fer ries operating between South port and Fort Fisher and Cedar Island and Ocracoke begin their summer schedules. It should be noted that dredg ing operations which were made necessary by drifting sands are now underway on the South port-Fort Fisher run and are scheduled for completion by May 15. The beginning of the summer schedule is, of course, contingent upon dredging being completed by that date. Under the new set up, vehicle fares include driver and all passengers with the highest toll on both ferries set at $10. In addition, space will be available to vehicles up to only '40 feet on the Cedar Island to Ocracoke Run and up to 55 feet on the Southport to Fort Fisher Run.
