She said, Education is
more important to the people
OF Puerto Rica than those in
America. Even though it is
expensive to attend private
schools you hear no parents
grumbling. They are happy
that their children have the
opportunity for higher learn
ing. Anything is appreciated
more when a sacrifice is
made"
The private schools of Puer-
to Rica cost approximately
5000. a year for each student
entered, plus transportation.
Many have five children en-
rolled.
Bobbi's school has approx
mately rs students in each
class, day time classes and
specialized teachers with all
education similar To- that Of
the American public school.
How does Puerto RIGA pub

America? The system is div

they are called in Puerto
RIGA. There are two shifts in
the day aud another shift at
night with about go students
in each class. With such short,
crowded classes il is hard for

Referendum Set

North Carolina has gained
national recognition as a state
on the move and where peo-
pie work hard to help them
selves.
Several other states are now
attempting 10 enact enabling
legislation which will allow
farmers 10 hold referenduns
and assess themselves to pro-
mote the products they pro-
duce. We have had this in
North Carolina for about ~
year, and such self-help pro-
grams for promoting agricul-
tural products have done much
for our farmers and the econ
omy Of the state.
Two such self-help programs
are for promoting beef and
eggs as conducted by the
North Carolina Cattleman's
Association and the North
Carolina Egg Marketing Asso-
citation.
The Cattle program is sup
ported by an assessment of
ten cents per head on all
slaughter cattle valued at ov-
er $40. The egg program is
supported by an assessment of
one cent per hen collected at
the time the hen is sold for
slaughter.
Cattle and egg producers
will vote on whether or not
they wish to- continue these
Self-help product promotion
programs on Tuesday, April
9. All programs of this type
must be voted on every three
years i'll producer referend-
umS. A two-thirds majority of
those voting is required for
passage.
Any producer of dairy OF
beef cattle is eligible to vote
in the cattle referendum. All
producers Of eggs, including
Matching eggs, are eligible to
vote in the Henny-Penny egg
referendum.
Polling places for both ref
erendumS will be the same.
This is for the convenience
of those farmers voting and
those holding the polls. Poll
ing places in Columbus Coun-
ty will be in these locations:

This Columbus County girl
