high school.
For use in the county, there
are q projectors in the Is
schools, including six that are
in the nine Negro elementary
and high schools.
This array of educational ma
chimes, virtually all Victor Ami
matophones because of concen-
tration on one standard pro-
jector, is augmented by six
opaque projectors and Is film
strip and slide projectors.
Supplementing this equip
ment, New Hanover has it's own
library of more than 200 sound
educational films and more
than 800 filmstrips for instruc-
tional use with the various ma
chimes.
Only Burlington and Wilson
among the cities in the state
are rated by state department
of education officials as being
anywhere near Wilmington in
the field of audio visual edu-
cation, and New Hanover far
outstrips the remaining SO coun-
ties in the state, having been
the pioneer in this field of edu-
cation in North Carolina.
Through long range plan
ming program, these projectors
and the films and filmstrips are
used to instruct the pupils audi
bly, and visually on curriculum
subjects or related ones and
bring direct to the classrooms
the pictures of distant lands, the
development of turbine engines,
the study of animal life,
physics, political science, art,
literature, and even languages
and the intricacies of solid ge-
ometry and algebra.
Proven in its worth by the
training of millions of American
soldiers and sailors during the
last war, the sound motion pic
ture protector is rapidly taking
its place among the leading
tools of education, not only in
New Hanover and North Caro-
lima, but throughout the United
States, where some other states
are even more advanced than
this one.
The ease of operation of a
sound propector - even fifth
grader can operate one - has
made them popular among the
teachers. Portable, they may be
carried from one classroom to
another, or used in the school
auditorium. In most cases, how
ever, one room in a school is
selected as the audio-visual ed
ucation center and adapted for
such use through the medium
of darkening or blackout
shades.
Just as the skilled craftsman
selects the correct tool for a
particular operation, tn e eff
ficient teacher must select and
use from available materials
those best adapted to the pur-
pose at hand.
Some information can best be
impaired by use of the lecture
method, or by the aid OF dia-
grams on the blackboard, or
through the use of charts, maps,
Globes, models, and related OBJ
jcets.
Where sound or motion is an
essential ingredient, the sound
motion picture furnishes the
best answer to the teaching
problem in the opinion Of many
emminent educators.
A multitude of teaching aids
is available but will never serve
to enrich the curriculum for the
student unless the teacher takes
time to plan to use them as
an integral part of the teaching
process. Here, in New Hanover,
the emphasis is on the teacher
in the educational program 50
that he or she will utilize the
protector teaching tool to the
utmost benefit, and to that end
the teacher is instructed in use

Twenty-Six Large Ships

BREMERTON, Wash W.D. -
The heavy cruised Fall River
has joined the ''mothball fleet"
here, completing the greatest
concentration of fighting tonnage
on the Pacific coast.
Should the sleeping giants
ever again be needed, it will
take but 80 days after the alarm
goes off for 26 big ships to file
down Puget Sound ready for ac-
ton.
"Given enough manpower, that
is" said Capt. W. M. Moses,
commander of the Bremerton
Group.
Navy Day, 1s47, found %
warships doing under wealth
erproof, time-proof plastic blan-
ket at the Puget Sound naval
shipyards here. The inactivated
carrier Essex and battleship In
diana were standing by across
the Sound to join the Big Sleep
as soon as piers are available.
The Fall River is now being
tucked in.
Not To BE Caught Mapping
Actually, it's a possum-like
land of nod in Bremerton. For

four years ago that the 66-year
h old building in which his con-
gregation was housed was about

people had no funds for rebuild
ing, he determined to do some
thing about it personally. So this
versatile preacher, who had been
successfully a music student, a
worker on a canal, chaplain in
World War Il and a pastor of
Ttalion-speaking congregations,
began making his own concrete
bricks, shaping his own timers,
and doing his own rebuilding
the back yard of the church be-
ing his yard and shop. All the
time not devoted to services and
parish visitation was given to
work on the church. And on a
recent Sunday he had the rebuilt
church, practically new, ready
for dedication by Bishop Her
bert Welch. "Now I am going to
give all my time to spiritual
building, he told his people.

Are Farm Products Too High?

Are Farm Products Too High?
Records show that food prices in
1916 were only 1870 higher than
during the 1926-28 period while
hourly earnings of factory workers
are 95.7 per cent above the 1926-2S
level. 1t seems to be a common
practice when comparing farm
prices to use the 1888 and 1899
level. During those years farm
products were 16 per cent below
parity and prices were down to the
1911 and 1912 period. The fact re-
mains that in 1945 a year of rela-
lively high farm prices, the income
of persons on farms averaged only
STAB compared with $1,294 for per-
sons not on farms.
Prices Will Come Down When?

England area, assurances have
been received through their offices
and the U. S. ID. A. that the pro-
posed reduction was seasonal and
would not result in a lower price
to the producer on yearly
basis.
On Price Support Plans
The U. S. d. A. appears disposed
to let Congress take the respon-
sibility for price support on
dairy products.
The Department has worked out
formulas for determining rela-
tiOnship of parity prices for milk
and butter fat to prices of manu-
factured dairy products. We learn
that it hesitates in finding support
levels which might appear high
because Congress is seeking eco
nomics, and that it hesitates when
support levels figure out too low
because of producer reaction. A
support price for butter was ready
to be announced but was held up
after the Presidents speech call
ing for general price reductions.
Milk Production Increasing
Milk production has increased in
all regions since 1919, but the lar.
gest increase is taking place in
the Pacific Southwest and least ir
the Northeast.
