The start, of Thursday's meet- ing was delayed for more than a half-hour while members of the hoard apparently met in a priv- ate session in School Superint- endent Jimmy Tassos' office. When the meeting finally got underway, president W.J.B. Simmons presided with Jim Doyle, J.D. Woodrum and Don Hannah also in attendance. The first major action voted on by the hoard was a dec- ision to withdraw from the North Central "Association. North Central, as it is known. sets minimum standards for all phases of" education. Tassos recommended staying in the association and pointed out that Hinton High School has been a member for over fifty years. Woodrum and Hannah were opposed to the cost and double coverage of membership in the association. Woodrum said the cost of dues was not object- ionable but additional personal and other expenses were a re- stilt of membership in the ass- ociation. North Central, for ex- ample, set a maximum number of students per teacher. Hannah said that the state board set standards which must also be met and indicated that one set of standards was enough• Hinton attorney David L. Par- met appeared representing the Library Board and asked the financial backing of the board. Parmer said the library had a budget of $21,763 to operate a full time library. $15 thousand of that budget was based on anticipated local funding, five thousand dollars each from the city, county and school boar d. Parmer said that in each of the last two years the city and county had each contributed five thousand dollars, but that' the board had only given $2500. In addition the county had set aside five thousand dollars for a building fund. Parmer said the library building is presently being rented on a month- to- month basis. He pointed out that since the present school year began 3500 juvenile volumes have been loaned. This figure does not include any reference books or other "non- juvenile" textsthat were loaned. Parmer said the library provided an essential contribution to the school sy- stem. Since the library would run out of money in April of this World Day Of Prayer Mar. 2 at 7 p.m. The Hinton Methodist Church will host the World Day of Prayer 1979 to be held Friday, March 2 at 7 p.m. Eleven area churches will participate in the service. Everyone- men, women and children are in- vited to attend the 92nd ann- ual event, to celebrate the unity we already have as children of God and to pray especially for the mission of the universal Church. International" Committee for World Day of Prayer selects a theme and each year asks a different nation to write the service. "Spiritual Growth" is the theme and will include growth in grace, knowledge, faith, hope and love. Students in the Pan-African Leadership: Course for Women at Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation in Kitwe, Zambia have written the program to be used around the world in at least 140 countries and 33 islands. The message this year comes from Luke 4: 18-19.- "The Spirit of the lord is upon me, be- cause he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and re- covering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are opposed, to proclaim the acc- eptable year of the Lard."
