BRIDE-ELECT HONORED - Miss Susan Ballew,

hostesses for a drop-ln coffee Saturday morning at the
home of Dr. and Mrs. Frank Slncox.
I learned Tuesday first
hand about one of the voca
tional education programs
offered to students at
Kings Mountain Senior
High School.
Sheet Allison and Kerniy
Burton, two of my neigh
bors In the Dixon Com
munity, and members of
the auto mechsmlcs class
at KMHS were “good
Samaritans’* when my 1974
Bulck failed to start at
KMSHS about 1 p. m. They
put their good training In
practice, quickly attaching
a Jumper cable. As It
turned out, the problem
was In the starter switch.
Vocational education
programs were discussed
at a iSnoon luncheon In the
Home Economics Depart
ment In which Dr. Michael
Latta, Executive Director
of the State Advisory
Council, explained In a
meeting before the local
Vocational Education
Advisory OoimcU of vriilch
Kyle Smith Is chairman.
Dr. Latta elaborated on the
state and local advisory
councils as they apply to
vocational education.

Dr. Latta pointed out
that under Vocational
Education legislation
passed by the U. S. Con
gress, the North Carolina
State Advisory Ooundl on
Vocational Education has
been established to advise
the State Board of
Education In development
of a flve-yesu* pUn for
vocational education, the
annual program plan and
accountability report and
to advise the State Board
on policy matters. It Is the
aim of a good advisory
group to be "eyes and
ears” of the school board
and share helpful In
formation.
Dr. Latta said he la
concerned that smnually
28,900 kids drop out of
public schools and a viable
program In vocational
education csin help prevent
this tragedy.
He said the 1979-81
session of the Oeneral
Assembly will be asked to
fund vocational education
at 100 percent level. (In
KM District Schools now
the local district must
contribute 80 percent.)
Dr. Latta foresees the
loss's and 1990’s, there
"will not be a need for as
many college graduates,
explsdnlng that statistics
show that 80 percent of
Jobs will require less than
a degree." "We need to
concentrate cn these 28,900
students who drop out and
later become welfare
cases and even wind up In
prison,” said Latta, of
Raleigh, who holds a Ph.D.
from Duke University.
Myers Hambrlght
arranged the program.
Rep. Edith Luts was a
visitor at the luncheon,
took the occasion to praise
the district system for Its
program of vocational
education. "Every child Is
definitely not college
material," said Mrs. Lutz,
"and my hat's off to you
for giving these children
such opportunities.”
