Wife of Truck Driver Seeking Her Husband Rockdale County varand Jury suggests jail mouse Kepair Dalton, Ga. — The wife of a missing truck driver leaves here Friday for Columbus seeking infor mation to the whereabouts of her husband, A. L. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor said she, her 14- year old raughter and the wife of another truck driver plan to take the "trucker’s route.” "We’re going to stop at every truck stop and service station, any place where he might have stopped to try to find somebody who saw him,” Mrs Taylor said. Taylor, a veteran driver, disap peared six days ago while en route to Jacksonville with a $14,000 car go of cheese. The truck and cargo were found on a Columbus street three days after Taylor was due in Jackson ville. Most any competent worker can find an excuse for not working. Conyers, Ga. — The Rockdale .oumy jail is a disgrace to the w ny oi Conyers and Rockdale County and snould be torn down, uccoru.ag to the Rockdale County Grand jury. It is not a disgrace and it prob ably won’t be torn down any time soon because “nobedy in the coun ty pays any attention to what the grand jury says,” according to Sheriff Walter McCart. "Considering that the jail was built back in ’97, it’s a pretty good jail,” the sheriff said Monday. “My wife and I have lived in it pretty well for 20 years. Of course, it needs painting. But the plumbing is all right. And you can build a fire with cord wood on a cell floor and not have to worry about burn ing the jail.” As for building a new jail, the sheriff thinks that would be nice, but— “This little old county — in debt and all — can’t afford a new jail” he said.

What Everyone Should Know About Financing Schools (A series of Articles from Taylor Local Unit of G.E.A.) The Lo:al School Budget Each community in the. United States annually prepares a school budget, which defines the school program, what it will cost, and how the money is to be raised. A budget, however, is far more than a statement of costs and sources of money. It states in financial terms the community’s ideas as to what it expects from its invest ment in education. The school bud get is the community’s financial answers to a number of educational questions. Critical Educational Questions Does the community look on its schools merely as custodial agen cies which keep children and youth off the streets and which teach them a modicum of knowl edge and simpe skills? Or does it expect its schools not only to transmit informed citizens, more trained manpower, better use of leisure time, increased productivi ty, higher living standards, and greater national security? These are the returns which nations re ceive when they invest generous ly and wisely in education. Does the community expect its schools to treat pupils as auto matons, to be taught and tested on a mass basis, expected to conform to a single curriculum, with many leaving school with a sense of failure at the end of elementary school or soon thereafter? Or does the community expect its schools to treat pupils as individuals who vary enormously in abilities, in terests, and goals, and to develop fully the talents of each individual pupil? Research has shown that the two most powerful factors in produc ing quality education are what a community expects of its schools and what it spends to finance them. If it expects little and spends little, the educational returns are likely to be small. If it expects much and spends much, the edu cational returns are likely to be large. To know whether a budget "is sufficient to finance quality schools, one needs to ask a num ber of searching questions: 1. What class size will the bud get finance? Does it contemplate individual or mass instruction? 2. Will the budget provide mod ern instructional materials? 3. Does it provide for specialists, to aid teachers in improving 'in struction in arithmetic and read ing? 4. Is there provisions for de- Montezuma Planning Additional Service Montezuma, Ga. — The Monte zuma City Council will have a special meeting Monday night to continue discussion of proposed sewerage service to ail areas of the ritv, pumping stations and new lines, and a new sewage treatment plant which would cost the com munity $506,000. The federal government has made a grant of $126,300 for the project according to Mayor C. P. Savage. The balance of $380,000 would be financed by the sale of revenue certificate bonds to be re paid over a 30 year period. To finance the program the city will need about $25,000 per year additional revenue. It is proposed that this amount be raised by an increased sewerage charge to $2.00 increase in minimum water charge to $3.50 and increased rate for water used in excess of the mini mum. It was pointed out that Monte zuma now has one of the lowest water rates in the area.

Is there provision for counsel ing and guidance programs to aid pupils and parents in planning educational and vocational car eers? , 6. Is the salary schedule one which will attract and hold quali ty teachers — one which pays be ginning and average salaries com parable to those paid other profes sionals in the region? 7. Is a summer school provided to meet the special needs of those who would otherwise be required to repeat a grade at a full year’s cost, of pupils qualified to make an extra grade, and of a highly gifted pupils? 8. Is there provision for a pro gram using school buildings as community centers, and for recre ation activities using school play grounds after school and during the summer vacations? Affirmative answers to such ques tions regarding the budget as those above willt.be decisive in determ ining the duality of the schools of, a community? NEXT WEEK: Local Support of Education. HERE!
