Pruette pushes consolidation and space options for local schools
Pruette argues the district must consider closing Emma Blair and adding classrooms at Kirkman Park and Brentwood as population trends remain uncertain. He says nine pupils per class makes a principal or librarian hard to justify and notes no budget funds for additions this year. The board authorized demolition of the old Emma Blair wing and special projects including rewiring Johnson Street and Brentwood schools and renovating showers at Central High and Ferndale Junior High. A Feb 24 meeting is set and a volunteer program with Dr Bridgers and Mrs Moffitt will discuss how a child learns at Shadybrook Elementary.

Duke Power Chief Sees No Way To Halt Rate Rises
Duke Power president Carl Horn Jr told High Point Rotary there is no way to stop rising electricity costs as demand doubles every decade. He blamed higher plant construction costs since 1968, urged nuclear plants to slow rate increases, and defended continued power use while stressing pollution controls and forestry efforts. He noted over 50 million dollars for air and 40 million for water pollution cleanup through 1973. Two thirds of electricity goes to industrial and nonresidential users, he warned against curbing demand.
