Workshop Course
Takes Teachers
On Air Base Tour

A group of forty-eight Smyr-
ma teachers and administrators
had the opportunity last week to
view the Dover Air Force Base.
The trip, taken as part of an in
. service workshop organized by
the school administration, in
cluded a complete bus tour of
the base, and all of the teachers
were able to step aboard one
of the large Air Force cargo
planes and eat in an Air Force
mess hall. Major Robert James
of the personnel division was
host and guide to the teachers
who represented the bulk of the
teaching staff of the three
schools of the Smyrna district.
New School Planned
OF special interest to teachers
were the temporary accommo-
dations for the pupils of the Do
ver Air Force Base. This school,
under the direction of the Cae-
sar Rodney Special School Dis
frict, cares for 400 air base stu
dents. Erection of an air base
school covering grades l-l2 is
being planned, with an eventual
anticipated enrolment of about
1000 pupils. The teachers were
impressed with the large brick
air base hospital which cares
for most of the needs of air
base personnel and their wives,
with the commissaries which
stock and sell food to the better
than 5000 air base enlisted per-
sonnel, with the 500 multiple
units of air base housing which
air base enlisted personnel may
use, with the swimming and
sports facilities of the air base,
and with the educational pro-
gram underway for interested
air base personnel. Teachers
toured inside of the new, large
C-l33 cargo plane. Major James
reviewed the many service per-
sonnel needed to not only fly
and load such plane, but to
service it and the men who flew
IT.
To Visit Refuge
The teachers have already
visited the Smyrna town office,
Smyrna police station, the town
sewage and water stations, and
the Wilson Refrigeration plant.
Other tours planned include the
Wildlife Game Refuge, Wheat
1ey's cannery in Clayton, Tide
water Oil Refinery, and other
points of interest. The work
shop includes not only trips, but
also discussion of the trips with
suggestions as to how the teach
ers may use what they have OBJ
served in the classrooms. 1t is
expected that all the teachers
will gain new insights into the
community as they observe var
ious industries and services of
the greater Smyrna area. Nor
man G. Wilder, director of the
State Game and Fish Commits
sion, will speak to the teachers
on Monday, Feb. 8. Mr.. Wilder
will give the teachers an over
view of the natural resources
operated and owned by the
game and fish commission in
Delaware, and will arrange for
a tour of some of these resourc-
es later in the year.

as late as last week.
To draw a simple comparison,
all of this is almost the same as
en- individual who is treasurer OF
| his church, his civic club, and his
company, borrowing funds turned
over to him by those organizations.
One result is that the last regu-
lar audit, for the period ending
June 80, 1858, showed that total
of $126,890.79 was owed to one or
another regular county fund; all
of which was money which either
had not been collected, or had been
spent elsewhere.
! Fortunately this situation can be
corrected, and steps are now being
taken to correct it.
The first thing, of course, is to
keep the matter from getting
worse. To accomplish this our new
Board, of Commissioners now re-
ceives a monthly report from the
County Accountant which shows if
the county is spending over or I'M
der the budget in each of more
than 120 different categories. The
/ first of these was prepared for our
January meeting, and showed that
prior to the time we took office, in
the first five months of the fiscal
year, the budget had been over
spent by more than $4,000.
In order just to break even we
must cut expenditures $4,000. be-
low the amounted budgeted for the
seven months of the fiscal year re-
naming at the time we took Of
flee, and we are trying to get all
county employees and department
heads to realize the necessity for
economy at this time.
The second thing is to try to
make up the deficit which has ac-
cumulated through the years and
to balance the books in each of the
various funds. An easy way to do
this would be to increase taxes,
but we are trying instead to take
care of it by cutting down on ex-
penditures in all departments, and
by making concerted effort to
collect delinquent taxes. If the peo-
pie of the county will back US up
and if the county employees will
Icoonarata I think II can he accom-
plished. But lot of people are go
ing to have to forget about their
pet projects for while, and stop
running to the county for all kinds
of expenditures which have been
part of the process of Dare County
government in the past, but which
the county should not and by law
can not undertake.
