SCHOOL ROLLS
HOLD UP HERE

New Hanover county schools
have not been affected to the ex-
tent which had been anticipated
by the climax of The war and
the reduction in Army and ship
yard personnel in the area, H. M.
Roland. superintendent of county
schools, said last night.
Roland said that indications now
are that there will probably be
no sudden drop in attendance since
large number of families who
were employed by the shipyard
are now being employed in the
area and are keeping their resi-
dences in or near Wilmington.
He said although a recent report
disclosed that 5000 are employed
now by the shipyard, as compared
with an all-tine high Of $4,000. a
large number of flrst-graders are
expected to help to keep up the
attendance at the county schools.
Roland said a check of the aver
age daily attendance and member
ship of schools disclosed loss OF
only 225 pupils since the beginning
of the 1945-46 term on Sept. 4.
His figures included all New
Hanover schools, white and Negro.
The superintendent pointed out
that the reduction in membership
was decidedly small, in relation to
an enrolment Of over $4,000.
A much greater decline was
shown last spring, he continued,
when 800 or 700 pupils left New
Hanover schools dur ing April,
May and June.
That drop, Roland explained, fol-
lowed membership peak in the
fall of 1914.
Roland's findings came as a sur
prise to school officials and towns
people who had anticipated the
schools being greatly affected by
reduced operations at the shipyard
and the exodus of Army families
from this area. !

STATE TO REMODEL
CAMP BUILDINGS

Addison Hewlett, chairman of the
board of county commissioners
said last night that the state high.
way commission plans complete
renovation of the county stockade
at Wrightsboro for the purpose Of
housing state prisoners to work
New Hanover county roads.
The buildings will be fireproofed
This will require tearing out the
old floors, both the ground flooi
and second story ard installing
concrete and steel foundations. The
roof will also be lifted according
to state plans for the building.
Chairman Hewlett explained thai
the roof is constructed of WOOD
sheathing and composition roofing
was used. The present plans cal
for the installation of steel girders
and covering with approved fire
proof shingles.
The chairman said although the
fire hazard was small when the
county last made use of the build
ings, the state deems it neces
sary to make these alterations ane
replacements in order to insure the
prisoners who are kept there
against any possible harm from
fire.
County Attorney Marsden Bella
my and Chairman Hewlett yester
day were making arrangement:
for the transfer of the property tt
the state highway department.
The board of county commission
ers Monday provided for the in
sertion of a clause into the deco
requiring the return of the prop
erty to the county in the event
that the state should cease to use
the stockade for accommodation
Of prisoners:
County commissioners wer e
agreed that return Of the prisoners
to the New Hanover quarters
would benefit the county at large
since prisoners have been trans
ported here from Burgaw daily
since the stockade became unin
habitable last summer.

cue from a look into the future.
For, apart from people out on
strikes, unemployment remains to.
day at an amazingly low figure.
Moreover, a recent survey by the
Institute found that only about
nine persons in every one hundred
named finding a job as the most
important problem facing him at
the time.
It is nevertheless apparently the
belief Of a substantial segment Of
the population that employment is
going to loom increasingly i'm
portant between now and next
November.
Third comes the problem OF in
hation. What actually happens to
this as an issue between now and
November will depend in some
part at least upon what Congress
does about extending, modifying,
or eliminating price controls.
Taxes and government spending,
in sharp contrast to other recent
years, are far down the list of is
sues. Institute surveys have in
previous years found them high on
the list of problems facing the
country, in the opinion. of the rank
and file.

Blanchard, director of the division

OF education, should not be inter
preted as bearing directly on the
status OF Cornelius Harnett. That
school. he continued, will be con.
sidered along with other county
institutions in Blanchard's annual
check.
The director is expected to ar.
rive here in mid-Februarv for
conferences with Roland. Follow.
ing Blanchard's check of ex
penditures for county school plants
operations, it is believed that the
state may contribute some sum
towards costs of operating the
Cornelius Harnett plant, Roland
said. He added that operation OF
the plant takes about $1,000 an.
nually.
Final decision on the Cornelius
Harnett matter will be up to the
school board. No meeting has yet
been scheduled for that body,
however.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-01-30

labor legislation as the problem
they believe will be the main issue
next November. Proportionately
more Republicans name it the big
election issue than Democrats.
The Republicans and Democrats
who called strikes and labor legis-
lation the principal problem were
asked which party they think is
better equipped to handle the
problem. Voters think their own
party is equipped to do the job
better than the opposition. There
is no general feeling that either
the Democratic or Republican
Party is better able to handle the
job.
From this it may be deduced that
neither party has as yet gained or
lost strength as result OF the
strikes now sweeping the country.
Of course, what happens in Con-
gress and throughout the country
on the question of industrial strife
may very well change this picture
in the months ahead.
The question used in the survey
to find out what the voters think
are to be the main issues in No
vernber:
"In the coming Congressional
election which will be held next
November, what do you think will
be the main issue?"
Aside from labor legislation and
strikes, the issue leading the list,
with twice as many votes as its
nearest competitor, is full Cor high)

Paid Taxes Many
Years, Yet 1916
Receipt Is Missing

A letter, written by Mrs. Mary
E. Roberts and read at the city
commission meeting last night,
demonstrated that nobody knows
definitely what sort of title to his
lot he has until he has had an
abstract made of the lot.
Mrs. Roberts said that she had
paid taxes on a lot during the
time she owned it from 1915 and
for every year since that time,
but, as she intended to sell the
lot and the house on it, she dis
covered, when an abstract of the
property was made, that she was
not credited with having paid
taxes for the year 1916.
She told the commission that
she had paid taxes for that year,
but could not find her receipt,
The conclusion was that, mad
vertently, she had not been
credited with the payment. She
asked for an abatement, and, on
recommendation of City Manager
King, the commission agreed to
eliminate the 1916 charge.

Removing Rent Control Prod
To Initiation, Wallace Believes

WASHINGTON, June 49,
Henry Wallace, Secretary of
Commerce, said today that if the
government lets down its guard
of rent control" it will be a dis
tinct prod to increasing initiation
in the United States.
Such a movement. he de-
declared. will mean that, be-
fore long. prices generally.
but particularly rentals. will
will show decided increases.
and that those increases will
result in renewed demands for
higher wages.
He added that the demand for
higher wages will cause strikes
that will exceed, or be compar-
able. with those through which
the country has passed since the
cessation of hostilities in the Pa
cific.
The country urgently needs to
exercise precaution in keeping
down the cost of living as much
as possible, and asserted that the
only effective way to keep them
down. because of the abundance
of spending money" is to con-
tinue the present price controls.

OPA Fighting Hard Against

board:
"Ahead of us lies one of the
