Report Of Needs

AMELIA. Jan. q Behind
the current discussion Of a
school building program in
Amelia county is the report on
needs adopted by the P-TA in
May and later accepted by the
school board.
The committee. appointed in
the P-TA to make a complete
study of the needs for both
white and Negro schools said in
its report. there is IAN urgent
need for a sound building pro-
gram in the county
For Amelia schools the COM
mittee recommended the pur-
chase of a site of ten acres or
more. removed from the pres
ent site. on which a primary
unit of not less than eight class
rooms with a food preparation
kitchen be constructed.
Rooms vacated by the pri-
mary grades. tone to three
were recommended to be used
to relieve the present acute
classroom shortage in the high
school progr They also
recommended that another
room in the high school building
be made available to relieve
congestion in the present Ii
brary.
The committee. headed by
Lewis Davenport. suggested that
a suitable cafeteria and kitchen
be constructed near the present
high school plant to serve the
upper elementary and the high
school students.
The most pressing need at the
Russell Grove Negro schools
was found to be additional class
room space for high school pu-
pills with considerations for
adequate cafeteria and physical
education facilities highly desir-
able"
To meet those needs the com
mittee recommended four ad-
ditional classrooms and a multi
purpose room be constructed.
The report was termed BY the
P-TA as one acknowledging
the minimum needs of Amelia
schools"
The com mittee to study
school needs was appointed in
January of last year. A steer
ing committee was later added
to study the needs in greater
detail to help the original com
mittee.

 While on this subject of con- munity support for its newspaper l might add that the basic marine industries of the island are not the only businesses who make it difficult for a publication to sur vive here. Most community news papers have heavy grocery adver- Using. We do not. Our own REA outfit, the KEA, not only does not advertise regularly as do most REA utilities elsewhere, they even have their stationery, letterheads, envelopes, and monthly billing forms printed elsewhere. We have number of big game guides who advertise regularly in other publi- cations but overlook their own community paper. We have been fortunate in the past several weeks to have had a political campaign in progress and also to have had the new automobile ads released. But these are one shot seasonal ads for the most part. We have no con- plaint for the most part with the small businesses of the area who consistently support their commun- ity newspaper with ads. Many give us ads only because they feel some responsibility to help sustain the publication. If the canneries, cold storages, and other marine firms and other firms feel that this is pointedly written at them they couldn't be more right it is.

According 10 the October issue of one Of the fisherman's favorite magazines. the Pacific Fisherman, the amount of money which sal mon canners paid 10 fishermen for Pink lHumpies) salmon in the Ko- diak district this past season ac- tually exceeds the full purchase price paid 10 Russia by the US. for all Alaska -s s7.2OO. 900! Mind you-this is counting Pinks only and doesn't even include the sub- stantial number of Pinks which were caught and paid for in Ko- diak and transported in refrig- erated tenders 10 other areas where canning capacity was avail able. The magazine obtained their figures from pr. Donald Bevan of the Fisheries Research Institute.

 Also the Pacific Fisherman makes the following observation in its editorial on the meeting of the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission in Seattle this month:
 "Shelikof Strait will have no part-and properly so-in the conversation at Seattle in No vember. While Alaskans will have it keenly in mind, and the Japanese will be seeking to peek into those minds, the Shelikof Strait incident is wholly apart from the treaty. So far, Governor William Egan is plainly in the lead, having won the first heat. The others haven't been sched. uled."

 The ADF&G apparently has found the plastic-and-glass 32-ft. Smolt, which is assigned to Ko- diak, as highly satisfactory. It has ordered three more of these pa- trol boats for delivery in the con- ing year
