Public Schools Is A Local Responsibility

Public Schools Is A Local Responsibility

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1948.

Public Schools Is A Local Responsibility - Federal Government Cannot Do A Better Job For Public Schools Than Local Communities Is The Belief—Washington, D. C., July

— One might almost be expected to believe that education of the youth of the country is a National political issue in 1948.

Government statistics show that in 1870 illiteracy in the United States was 20 percent. The average percent of illiteracy among native whites in the United States is less than two percent.

To say that the support of local schools is not the responsibility of the communities in which children live is dodging the issue. It is just as much the duty of parents in small districts to send their children to school as it is to put clothes on their backs and food in their stomachs.

The trouble that exists in nearly every part of the United States is the growing demand that the National Government must furnish the means and money to carry on all kinds of civic responsibilities, including paying the teachers and all the school expenses.

The Federal Government cannot—and will not—do a better job for public schools than local communities.

Democratic Advocate, June 22, 1945 - Sugar To Affect Coca-Cola Supply

This day in history:
Democratic Advocate, June 22, 1945 - Sugar To Affect Coca-Cola Supply - W. C. Meredith, President Of Coca-Cola Co., Announces The Quality Will Be Maintained - The supply of Coca-Cola in Westminster definitely will be affected by the further curtailment in the supply of sugar after July 1st because the manufacturer of that popular drink will not compromise with the use of substitutes.

However, an equitable system of rationing will be maintained in Westminster during the shortage, according to W. C. Meredith. President of the Westminster Coca-Cola Bottling Company.

The O. P. A. announced that the allotment of sugar to industrial users would be cut to 50% of the sugar used in the third quarter of 1941, effective July 1st.

"I am informed that this sugar shortage is world-wide and not merely national and is directly attributed to the confusion in the production and distribution of sugar occasioned by the war," said Mr. Meredith.

"Sugar is absolutely necessary in the manufacture of Coca-Cola. We cannot and will not use sweetening substitutes, and therefore when sugar is short, there must be a shortage in the amount of Coca-Cola, but you can be certain that the quality of Coca-Cola will remain unchanged.
