City School Board Chairman Gives
Some Facts On Costs OF Operating
Local Schools And The Financing

merce. The United States Cham
ber Of Commerce has stated that
it considers the money spent for
schools a good investment. Or
CARNATIONS in industry repre-
senting both labor and manage
ment have expressed the same
view. Why do they look at 1t
this way?
Suppose, instead of giving a
child a high school education,
we should invest the $l,080.00
for him at six percent inter-
est. This would bring him S64.80
per year. Statistics show con-
clusively that the difference in
average earnings of high school
graduates whe1 compared with
those who have not had that ad-
vantage is many times over
$64.80. We should spend more
than we now spend on schools.
If we spent twice as much,
would anyone question that high
school graduation brings a high
ar financial return on the in.
vestment than could be brought
lin any other way!

Forrestal In
Europe For
Conferences

Washington, Nov. 10-F-
The civilian boss Of the United
States armed forces was due in
Europe today.
There, it was announced, Sec
retary of Defense Forrestal will
talk with American officials at
Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin and
London, including Gen. Lucius
D. Clay, American commander
in Germany.
And there seemed no reason
to believe he would pass up any
chance to confer with officials of
other friendly governments in
Europe where this country has
a high military stake.
Forrestaps visit to Clay
assumed special significance in
the light of the generals con-
ference Monday with Viscount
Montgomery. The British field
marshal is chairman of the mill
tary committee of the Western
European alliance.
The formal announcement of
Forrestal's trip said he would
discuss problems affecting the
national military establishment"
with American officials in Eur
ope. Any development concern
ing military aid to the western
alliance is directly related to
problems Of the American mill
tary establishment.

Moscow Press gave heavy play
today to a Tass dispatch from
Washington quoting an Ameri-
can newspaper as saying Preei-
dent Truman may come to Rus
sia for a personal talk with
Prime Minister Stain.
The fact that this item was
published here at all is not with
out significance. The newspap-
ers made no comment on the
report. But it Is hardly likely
it would have been published if
the editors did not look upon
it as serious worthwhile piece.
It's publication caused much
comment in the foreign colony
Of Moscow.
The Soviet News Agency dis
patch said the Washington Time
Herald printed the report. (The
Dispatch may have referred to

Boston, Nov. 10-P)-The
textile industry is dangling be-
tween pleasantly prosperous
days and months of severe COM
petition.
It has felt the first pains OF
transition from wartime to
peacetime economy.
And as prices soften and
boomtime profits began to slip
it laid bare an old New Eng
land textile problem-competi-
ton with lower cost areas.
Royal Little, head of the huge
Textron Corporation, says the
cost of northern mills was pro-
hibitive when compared with
the South.
He announced he would close
some New England interests.
And that started a reassessment
of the industry hereabouts.
But the lure of lower taxes
and talk of lower costs in other
sections have been dangled in
front of New England industrial
lists before. Some snapped at the
bait. But oters merely took a
tighter grip and met the COM
petition.

School Officials Receive No
official Word About Funds
F0rChaI0ner School Facilities

at the November meeting the
funds Twill be available some
how.
Since the Roanoke Rapids
school group first appeared be-
fore the Board accompanied by
County Health Officer DR.. Ro-
bert F. Young 81 days have .
lapsed.
=. ding to the recommends
Ions made to the Board in Oct
ober, two separate projects will
have to be completed in order
i, improve the sanitary facii-
ties at the school to a degree
where they will not be a public
health menace. Septic tanks
will have to be built and a wa
ter line will have to be run to
tie school, which is located
within the Roanoke Rapids city
limits but is outside the limits
IF the Roanoke Rapids Sanitary
District. Each of the projects
will cost an estimated $4,000
each to complete, therefore the
$4,000 appropriation was re-
quested in October.
:, In the October meeting Com
missioner Meade H. Mitchell
moved to appropriate the entire
amount but the motion received
no second.
On November the Mitchell
motion was withdrawn and a
motion made by Commissioner
John B. Davis to lend the Roa-
noke Rapids Board of Educa-
ton $4,000 for the John Chalener
School project was passed.
Commissioners suggested that
another $4,000 item be included
in next years capital outlay

Industries To
Revert To
German Owners

Frankfurt, Germany, Nov. 10
-(AP)-The vast German coal,
iron and steel industries in the
bizonal area will revert to Ger
man ownership in the near fu-
ture," the British and America
military governments announced
today.
The military governors, how
ever, are retaining a certain con-
troll Of powers" the announce
ment said.
Gen Lucils D. Clay is the
American military governor in
Germany and Gen. Sir Brian
Robertson is Britain's top oc-
cupation official.
The industries including those
Of the Ruhr, have technically
been owned by the military gov
ernors since the erd of the war.
New German companies will
be established to operate the
companies subject to these stip-
ulations:
1. There will be no "excess-
i've concentration of economic
power"
2. Persons who permitted
and encouraged" the nazi party
will be banned from positions
of ownership and control.
3. The drastic reorganization
shall not prejudice a possible
future decision by a German
government as to whether the
industries will be socialized.

American Dependents
Evacuate Nanking AS
Red Army Advances

Nanking, Nov. 10-(P)-Emer-

capital today as starvation stalk
ed ahead of advancing commu-
nists.
First to 60 were expectant
mothers from the U. S. advisory
group. They were flown in Air
Force and Marine planes to
Tsingtao, U. S. far eastern ma
val base. Most OF the 500 Nank-
ing dependents will 60 aboard
the Navy hospital ship Repose.
From Shanghai northward the
situation worsened. Millions
milled in cities, towns, villages
and over the countryside.
Food riots swept Shanghai
and Nanking. Shops, trucks and
carts were looted by the hungry.
Shopkeepers were dubbed.
Workers demanded their
wages in rice. Government rail-
way employees went on strike
when they got none.
The whole economic structure
of the Chang Kai-Shek govern
ment appeared to be crumbling
in the wild melee along coastal
China. The national gold yuan
plummeted downward.
Alarmed European nationals,
confronted with anti-foreign
feeling in many quarters, sought
means of escaping.
There was a hint here that
an American warship from
Tsingtao might be sent up the
Yangtze to protect foreigners
and speed evacuation.
General Macarthur in Tokyo
had at least one Army trans
port on its way to Shanghai to
evacuate Americans there. Two
more were reported ready to sail
from Japanese ports.

Ready said if only $4,000 were

construction of the septic tanks

blueprints as guide. He said
the Chaloner School has a ve-
terans' masonry class which will
provide labor for the project
without cost. This class will be
supervised by a construction
foreman if the work is under
taken by the veterans.
The city superintendent said
the Roanoke Rapids School Com
mittee has been unable to make
plans regarding the work, how
ever, since they have not as
yet been informed that any funds

"Boots" Used To The Ways OF The City
Gets Lost On A Fishing Trip And Has
Not Been Seen Since Late Saturday

Boots never should have gone
to the country.
She went Saturday and hasn't
come back.
Used to the ways of the city
and pavement underfoot, she ap-
parently got confused in all the
woods and grass and wandered
away from her fishing friends.
They came back to the spot be-
side the stream where they had
left her a couple of hours be-
fore and found that eight-year-
old Boots was nowhere to be
found:
That was late Saturday after
noon, and the North Ward has
been missing her since then.
Boots is a German shepherd
dog and for several years now
she's been sort of "everybody's
dog" in the North End business
district. Her natural place Of
adobe was the business firms in
the 200 block of Roanoke Avenue
and by long practice she had de-
veloped a system of begging ice
cream cones, cookies, pretzels
and anything else edible that
would put a professional pan
handler to shame.

Scribe Says Textile Industry Is
Between Pleasant Prosperity And
Months OF Severe Competition

, There are many textile men
who agree with Little that the
cost situation in New England
is creating a squeeze. Most OF
them feel that while the out
look for the future is good, they
will have to work hard and
call upon all their business acu'
men to remain prosperous. Poll
tical leaders and other business
men avowedly have faith that 1t
can be done.
It wasn't so many years ago
that the huge Amoskeag Manu-
facting Plant at Manchester, N.
H., closed its doors. At that time
there were numerous predictions
that Manchester was dead indus
trially.
But today, there are over 100
small and diversified industries,
many of them textile manufac-
turers, occupying the same floor
space that Amoskeag abandoned. |.
And as Governor Charles M.
Dale of New Hampshire recent
ly pointed out, the new indus
tries are employing more peo-
pie and maintaining larger to-
tai payroll than before.
Practically coincident with
Little's statement on operating
costs, two other textile concerns
were setting up new plants in
New Hampshire towns. And in
Massachusetts, textile manufac.
turers were carrying On plant
expansion projects that CONT
close to the $4,000. 900 [Yn)
mark.
