F field trips are riot new In the
Held ?I education, but they are
becoming more and more a vital
part of boys' and girls' learning
experiences. They remember lon
ger and better the things that
thtey can . actually see and take
part In. Here are some accounts
of field trips that have been tak
en this year in our local schools.
Mrs. Baker's and Mrs. George's
fifth grades from East School
took a trip to Gastonia on Novem
ber 18. We visited the I!oca Cola
Bottling Co., the Sunriste Dairy,
and the Holsum Bakery. We
learned things about each that
we hope will make health and
science more meaningful.
Charles Smith was our host at
the Coca Cola plant. He showed
us how Coca Colas arte made,
bottled, and delivered. We were
interested in the cleanliness of
all the plant. He answered our
many questions and servted us a
cold Coca Cola much to our de
light.
Bill Craig guided us through
the Sunrise Dairy Plant. We saw
milk being put in cartons, ice
cream being made, the storage
rooms for milk and ice cream. We
saw where our milk is homogtenlz
ed and pasteurized. We appreci
ate our milk more since we saw
all this.
Mr. Craig served us fudge pop
^k'les, which we enjoyed vtery
much.
Wte had several guides at the
Holsum Bakery. We saw the mak
ing of bread from flour until it
was cut, wrapped ready to be
sent out to us. The machinery
used for all the different steps
was most fascinating. Seeing all
that bread baking helpted us rea
lize how much we depend upon
bread for our dally food.
The bakery had made us tiny
loaves of bread and cookies.
We enjoyed our trip very much.
We appreciate Mr. Barnes and
Mrs. Klncald's taking us and Mrs.
Gladden's going with us.

Mrs. McGlll's, Mrs. Pollock's,
and Miss Goforth's sixth grades
from Central School went on a
trip Thursday, December 3. They
first went to Raleigh where they
saw the Penitentiary, the Colise
um, the State Capitol Building,
and the Museum. From there they
went to the University of North
Carolina and saw "The Star of
Bethlehem", Christmas pageant,
at thte Morehead Planafarium.
They then rode over the <&mpus.
On the way home they saw the
Christmas lights in Charlotte, j
They chartered three buses from
the Hunt Bus Co., of Shelby.
Mr. Porter's bighth grade glass
left the room about 11:30 a. m.,
Tuesday, October 20, 1953, to see
the power sub-station. We walked
down there and were told by Mr.
Porter about the- different kinds
of transformers. Wte were told
that the reason for the sub-sta
tion was because of the electrici
ty's losing part of its strength as
it comes over the wires from the
generating plant on the Catawba
River. Thus we havte step-up
transformers at the sub-station.
We found that the rubbery caps
on the transformers were used
for the purpose of keeping them
cool. He said if we should happen
to touch 'two of thte wires, we
would be killed instantly. The
wires around the sub-station are
larger than ordinary electric
wires because there is more elec
tricity flowing through them. The
buzzing sound we hteard was caus
ed by the lines of magnetic force i
being broken. The transformer is
said to be the most efficient thing
there Is. Mr. Porter helped us to
learn and undterstand many more
things about transformers.

An interesting field trip taken
by Mrs. Warren's eighth grade
was a trip to the local water
plant. There the students were

training, VA said, if: (1) they
suffered a service-connected dis
ability in active service since
June 27, 1950, which would entit
le them to compensation, or, but
for the receipt of retirement pay,
would entitle them to compensa
tion; (2) they were discharged
or released under conditions
other than dishonorable, and (3)
VA determines they need voca
tional training to overcome their
handicap. All three conditions
must 'be met
Eligible veterans may get
training of such character and
length not to exceed four years
as is necessary to restore their
ability to work. Veterans may
apply for vocational rehabilita
tion after discharge, or while
hospitalized awaiting discharge.
Before disabled veterans begin
training, they will be Interview
ed toy VA counselors. If neces
sary, they will t>e given a series
of tests to determine their apti
able to observe in actual opera
tion the stages of water purifica
tion that they had read about in
their books. They learned the
source of the town's water sup
ply, and gathered interesting
facts about thfe capacity of the
plant and how it is managed.
A lesson in conservation also
made its way into the discussion
as the water supply of Kings
Mountain was becoming critically
low at that time. The need of con- 1
serving water was Impressed on
their minds.
Many helpful experiences came
from the trip. They learned good
group behavior, as well as first
hand information about an im
portant community service.
