Our Schools Need Your Vote

Early in the beginning Of the
last school year the Board of
Education for the Roanoke
Rapids Graded School District
realized that the present facilities
were inadequate to meet the
needs of the district. For this
reason they went before the last
General Assembly and asked
permission to amend their charter
to increase the possible bond
issue from $50, 900 to $4,000 and
the maximum tax rate from 33s
cents to 60 cents. These amend
ments are to be ratified or re-
jected by the voters of the dis
trict next Tuesday. More than
500 have registered showing
thereby the interest of the peo-
pie in this election. This is by far
the largest registration for any
election ever held in this COM
munity.
The rapid growth of the school
population makes it difficult for
the school equipment to keep
pace with the needs. The growth
was so rapid that the money
voted by the last election was
not sufficient and the board had
to borrow $4,000 in order to meet
new needs. During the past year
the enrolment reached S53 and
new families are coming in every
day. By this time next year
families will be coming in to
work in the new mill and unless
something is done there will be
no school facilities for them.
1t is not the purpose of the
Board of Education to issue the
full amount of S45,0 900 now but
to issue only $4,000 in order to
pay back money borrowed and to
finish and equip three additional
rooms which were left unfinished
in the present buildings. This will
provide for the bare necessities
Of class room instruction and will
make no provision for such
courses as Home Economies,
Manual Training. Commercial
Arts, Penmanship, Athletic In.
struction, all of which are neces-
sary to provide a standard school
and are badly needed here.
At a meeting of the Board of
Education this week a resolution
was passed fixing the tax rate so
that it would not exceed 40 cents.
This means that if a man has
$4,000 worth of property he
will pay Isl cents more tax next
year than last year. For most
tax payers II means nothing. |
The citizen Of this community |
pay III per cent Of the school

VIII GAN EOR ACTJJAI COcT
WILL CAN FOR ACTUAL COST

The Roanoke Mills Company
have started an active campaign
for the production and canning
of the greatest possible amount
of foodstuffs by their employees.
Miss Jennie Whitaker, of Bun.
combe County, formerly connect.
ed with the Home Demonstration
Work Of the State Department
of Agriculture, has been employ.
ed by the mills to instruct and
advise all of their people in the
best methods of gardening and
canning.
All of the vacant lots owned
by the Roanoke Mills are being
plowed up and apportioned ia
those, who apply for same and q
canning club of the younger
girls of the town has been formed
with tenth acre gardens located
on Roanoke Avenue, using the
vacant lots of the Roanoke
Avenue Development Company.
Mr.. S. F. Patterson states that
the mills will erect a large can
merry in the next few weeks
completely equipped, fly proof
and sanitary in every respect.
All who wish to do so may pre-
pare their products to be canned
at the cannery and have the
work done under the direction of
Miss Whitaker free of cost, ex-
cept for the cost of the can itself,
which will be supplied at the
wholesale price of SC each.
This action of Roanoke Mills
will reduce the cost of living of
their employees greatly and is
an additional indication of the far
sighted and effective welfare
work done for its employees by
this Cmopany.

SCREENS AFFORD BEST PRO.
lection AGAINST FLIES
Screen Doors, Windows and Porches
Advises State Board Of Health

It is high time for screen doors
and windows to be put in, the
State Board of Health reminds
us in one of its recent bulletins.
1t says: "You may have doubts
or become discouraged when it
comes to cleaning up and keep
ing so clean that you won't have
flies, or when you try to keep
them down by poisoning or trap
ping, but there's one means of
protecting yourself against flies
that is safe and effective. This is
thorough screening. In this part
of the country doors, windows
and porches, upstairs and down.
stairs, should be thoroughly
screened in summer for the COM
fort of the home and the health
of the family. Mosquitoes are a
health menace as well as flies and
thorough screening protects
against both.
A few years ago, screening
was considered almost as inef-
fective as a means of protecting
against flies as poisoning, disin-
fecting and a few feeble efforts
at cleaning up. None of these
methods prohibited flies. They
apparently continued to come in
their usual large number. But
the trouble was we did not know
how to properly use screens.
Then only the kitchen and din
ing room doors and windows
were screened, while the doors
and windows of the other part of
the house were unprotected.
Later we found that not only all
the openings to the house must
have screens in them but that
they must fit and be made so
hy-tight that no fly can enter.
This was found more effective
but not until the porches were
screened, particularly the back
porch where most of the food
was handled, did we come to
know the real safety and com.
fort that lay behind screen doors.
windows and porches.
But" the Board says, I'VE
must fight flies as doggedly as
ever through cleanliness which is
their starvation, by trapping and
poisoning and by faithfully swat
ing, which however, should al
ways be done behind tight fitting
screens.
