 This Is the first of a series of
articles attempting to .answer
questions relative to the pro-
posed reorganization of Mingo
Junction, Cross Creek and Wayne
School Districts. It is to be hoped
that the article will influence you
to vote for your children' s sake on
May 3, 1966.
              Sincerely yours,
  0, W. Buchanan, Superintendent
QUESTION: Did the idea of the
proposal to consolidate Mingo
Junction, Cross Creek and Wayne
schools originate in Columbus?
NO. This idea came from local
boards of education.
QUESTION: Does consolidation
mean all pupils must be housed
in one building?
NO.
QUESTIONt Does consolidation
mean elementary pupils from
Mingo will be transported to
Wintersville  or   elementary
pupils from Wintersville will be
traig-ported to the Wayne Dis-
trict?
NO.
QUESTION: Will Wintersville Jr
and Sr High School cease to exist?
NO. There are hundreds of homes
within a five mile radius of these
buildings. This is a natural
school site as far as school pop-
ulation goes.
QUESTI(N: Will the present ath-
letic program of Wintersville
High Schools be disrupted or dis-
continued?
NO.
QUESTION: Will consolidation
reduce the number of scholar-
ships available to our graduates?
NO. There are only so many
scholarships available. Consoli-
dation will neither increase or
decrease that number. The lar-
ger the school the more publi-
city it receives. The more pub-
licity a school has, the more
college coaches will be looking
at our athletes. Other types of
scholarship are granted as stu-
dents apply for them. Consoli-
dation will increase the course
offering in our schools. This
will place our pupils in a better
position to obtain scholarships.

Eve Seiter displays her collection of Bahamian hats and bags for our photographer.


      By EVE SEITER
 Pearline Thompson has been
 weaving and selling straw hats
 and bags for sixteen years. Pear-
 line works in stall #26 of the
 famous Nassau Straw Market.
 She has mothered four of her five
 sons in stall #26 as she works,
 weaves and bargains. Her child-
 ren are bright, clean and man-
 nerly. Soon, Pearline will bear
 another child --- hopefully, a
 daughter; this child she will also
 teach to weave.
 Angelina Humes is elderly. For
 years she helped farm the fertile
 acres of Great Exuma, the Baha-
 mas, but this work is now too
 heavy for her, so she spends her
 days plaiting the native Silver and
 Brinkley Palm into strips. These
 are marketed either in Great
 Exuma or in the Nassau Straw
 Market. Angelina only plaits but
 she is expert at this, plaiting four,
 seven, eleven, fifteen and even
 nineteen " strings'". Others con-
 vert her plaiting into mats and
bags.
Lydia Rolle is a young mother,


fine and intelligent. She brings
her six year old daughter, Bern-
adette, and five month old son,
Ernie, to her husband's place of
business, near George Town,
Great Exuma. There she and
Bernadette and Angelina plait and
fashion bags and hats. They are
offered for sale in their own ad-
joining gift shop.
Pearline Thompson, Angelina
Humes, Lydia Rolle and small
Bernadette are all native Baham-
ians. Very young and very old,
they work at the fascinating craft
of weaving hats andbags from the
native Silver and Brinkley Palm.
Silver and Brinkley Palm grow
profusely on the Island of Great
Exuma. The branches pulled
from the hearts of the trees are
dried or cured in the tropical sun-
shine for five or six days; Ange-
lina says they work better if dried
well. They are then cut in strips
with a knife similar to a pen-knife
and tied in bundles. Pearline
must buy her Silver Pamrom an
