S. meets second and fourth 1 Thursdays ai 7:30 P. M. at the i Masonic hall in Swannanoa. Read the NEWS CLASSIFIEDS EI)IT0 R I A L YOUR Children Need YOUR Help.. . Your children and your community need YOUR help next Tuesday. On that day YOU and the other voters of Buncombe county will decide the fate of two issues in what George Young of Swannanoa, a member of the county board of commissioners has called “one of the most important elections held in years.” The pro posals are that Buncombe county issue $5,500.- 000 in school bonds with which to construct new buildings, and that the 26 districts of the county be eliminated with the county assuming the school district debts. YOUR child is already cramped for classroom space. If you still doubt that something must be done, consider the fact that 16,300 children in Buncombe county are now being taught in school rooms adequate for only 12,800. That 121 so-called “classrooms” in Buncombe county are actually BASEMENTS, HALL WAYS, BALCONIES, and other substandard rooms. That five schools are now’ denied their full quota of state-allotted teachers because of in adequate classroom space. That in three years all schools in Buncombe county, except Sandy Mush, must operate either without a full allottment of teachers or on a shift basis—unless additional buildings can be built. But that isn’t all. The school enrollment in . Asheville and Buncombe county is expected to I increase 3d pur cent during the next six -ears. Unless new classroom space is provided, it isn’t I hard to figure out wh°t the results will be. | YOUR child will be even more cramped than he jj is already, if that be possible. There is nothing wrong with our schools that money cannot correct. School bonds would pro vide the money. Stop and ask yourself—lf the issues fail to carry, then what are we to do? If the 26 districts are not combined into one, how are we to build the schools necessary to accom modate our growing population? Buncombe is one of the eight counties that clings to the out moded system. It served its purpose—but the time has come for us to join the parade of pro gressive counties and bring our educational system up to date. In a paid advertisement which appears else where in this issue, the Waycaster-McFee Post 129, American Legion, explains what your vote for the two measures will mean to you and to future generations. Just remember this. An investment in school bonds is an investment in the future of your children and of your community. They need your help next Tuesday, April 18. Don’t let them down.
