OF Survey Shows
Consolidation AS
Educational Need

Consolidation, better teachers,
more classrooms, better teacher
salaries and a Smyrna-Clayton
Junior High School represented
the majority opinion on the
question, what is the greatest
single need of our community's
educational system?" in the re-
cent community survey conduct
ed by the Junior Chamber of
Commerce. Of the twenty-four
different replies to this question,
the preceding five represented
one hundred thirty-five of the
two hundred eleven participat-
ing in the survey. This was de-
cidedly different expression than
to question two reviewed last
week to which an overwhelming
reply was for new industry.
Planned construction, fair dis
tribution of cost, vocational
training an more emphasis on
curriculum were also popular
suggestions. One thought the
district could get more from its
physical facilities if children
were sent in shifts.
Not Adequate
A large majority expressed
the opinion that the business
district needed stimulation and
that the approaches to the com,
munity were not attractive. II
was also felt that the commun'
ity did not have adequate doc
tors, dentists, nurses and law
yers. Sewerage, garbage disposal
and drainage were found to be
properly provided for and thai

ence as prisoner of war in

conditions very poor, with lack
of employment and food. He
came to America and is now
employed by Wilson Refrigera-
tion, Inc, and is a trustee in
the First Presbyterian Church
