Anyone who has been convicted in Federal, State, or local courts subsequent to November 8, 1967 will be ef fected by this law." - The Public Welfare program In North Carolina Is heavily iHnaneed by Federat-lunda- epJ proprlated to HEW. This past fiscal year the funding relation hip was 69.04 per cent Federal, 14.32 per cent State, and 16.64 per cent counties. Flag Day Set Friday, June 14 The calendar tells us that we soon will be observing Flag Day, This year it falls on June 14. Every U. S. Citizen should be proud to look upon the American flag as the greatest national symbol ever unfurled from any standard. It represents a nation formed on the unprecedented principle that the powers of government arederlved from the people. The U, S. flag exalts the Individual and the constitutional guarantees which preserve his freedom. It represents a people that have been generous, heroic, and creative. It Is the symbol of freedom from political oppression, of opportunity to make a better lite to which the oppressed of all nations have turned with hope and been ful filled. Flag Day is a good time to get back to basics and recognize that a tingling up your spine when the stars and stripes goby Is one of the surest signs that the vitality and genius of this nation and Its capacity to achieve great things on the stage of his. tory Is still very much with us. Despite our mechanized, compu terized society, the fact remains that anything having to do with human endeavor rests upon an Intangible quality of spirit In the individual.

Dr. Lester Ball said teachers across the state are saying, "For the last 10 to 15 years you ad ministrators have been pouring It on' by coming up with all kinds of new programs, courses, goals and demands." While teachers support these new programs, their feeling of not being consulted has brought on what we commonly call "teacher militancy," he said. "Personally, I don't like the term 'militancy'," Ball said, terms would be 'teacher aware ness.' 'teacher awakening.' or 'teacher concern'." Ball spoke before some 50 school board members and administrators from throughout the state meeting here at the Uni versity of North Carolina'slnstl tute of Government. The school men met to prepare a series of alternate proposals for the schools of North Carolina to consider, should teachers and school systems enter Into pro fessional negotiations with each others. . "We are seeing the dawn of a new day In education," Ball said. "Teachers are asking for a full partnership In the decision making process. It's that simple. They are asking to be heard along with the parent, the admlnlstra. tor and the board." In short, he continued, teachers are fed up with taking "the Great White Father "attitude to ward superintendent for 31 years, said teachers do not want to "take over" the decisionmaking process in our schools. The "bargain" they are seeking to strike is quite plain. "Teachers are merely saying, You listen to us, and In return we'll listen to you. Through this process - we can Improve the promise for boys and girls.' Nothing more," Ball said. Across the state, he said, "teachers report to me they are being left out of the decision making process- In the local school system." Here, according to Ball, Is what teachers are saying: "Did It ever occur to you, the administrators, to ask us, the teacher, what we think? For Blood A plea to residents of this area planning their vacations to include a blood donation In their preparations was Issued today by the American Red Cross. Pointing out that, "accidents and ' illness never take a holiday," Dr. Evan C.Stone, Jr., area medical director of the Red Cross Blood Program, Eastern Area, said that blood donations Invariably dwindle to their lowest point in the summertime, while the need for blood, mainly because of summer highway accidents, fre quently Increases. Basing his estimate on the July-August accident rates of other years, Dr. Stone in his Alexandria, Virginia, head quarters said that motor vehicle fatalities across the United States in the two-month period are expected to be around 9,000 "with disabling injuries, many of them requiring Immediate blood transfusions, correspond ingly high." "The solution is for all healthv Americans, age 18 through 60, td 1 Red Cross "Oh sure, you ask us but how? "You ro. expenses paid, to a federally-funded conference, and you find that French In the third grade is the 'in thing' . . . . "You come home, call in a 'voluntary committee' and tell us: "Decide democratically that we will have French in the third grade this fall. And while you are about it. work out such minor details as wholl teach it, when where, with what and to whom." Teachers appear to have had enough of this kind of treatment, Ball warned. And they are now making some demands. "The word here Is demands," Ball noted. Some of these demands, he said, are that teachers: No longer be treated as workers, but as full colleagues. No longer have decisions imposed from outside. No longer accept working conditions that prevent them from doing their best. No longer accept as "democracy" an . annual ap pearance before the board, hat In hand, where they meekly make known their wishes. And no longer accept salaries that say, in effect, "We value you . . . Just below the garbage man." What Is It that teachers want from these demands? What is their goal? Ball said the answer to both of these questions Is simply: Teachers want a voice at the table where the decisions are made. Teachers want to betaken in as partners with the board and the administration. They want to help decide: What courses are to be taught, and how. , How children are to be grouped. What materials will be avail able. What special services will be available, and to whom. What are the priorities. And, yes, salaries and work ing conditions, "Teachers are making new de-: mands," Ban concluded. "Bas ically, they just want to be heard. They want to help set new goals, meet new challenges, work with our children, revel in their successes, share in their failures and understand their unlimited potential." Appeals Donors donate blood to the Red Cross or their community blood bank before leaving for heir vaca tions," Dr. Stone said. "It will be for their own protection as well as for others." Dr. Stone stressed, however, that it is essential to the Red Cross to maintain a constant, uniform blood supply throughout the year. Donors are encouraged to make their donations on a regularly scheduled basis, so that blood will never be in short supply, he said. Red Cross regulations permit donors to give a unit of blood every two months, but no more than five times a year.
