Executive Director, Phil Christian of the Mattie C. Stewart Foundation next to the "Choice Bus". The Mattie C. Stewart Foundation "Choice Bus" came to town this past Tues- day. It was at the Dover Foundation and a part of the Communities In Schools program. The total concentration is a dropout prevention program for students. The "Choice Bus" is one of two now in operation. A third bus will soon join the program. It is a traveling, very graphic program of what the consequences can be for students who drop out of school. Most dropouts end up in jail. Out of 75% of drop outs, 80% can't read or write. Their income is also $10,000 a year less than those who graduate. In a lifetime, the drop out will earn a million dollars less than those who stay in school. Education is the key to success in life and a good future. The "Choice Bus" presents a fi lm mostly containing in- mates from prison and it also has a real jail cell. The 20 minute presentation is a defi nite "wake up" call for students. –M. A.

Hoping To Reach Their Goal Burns students hosted and waited on tables while other students washed cars out back of Applebees. Burns students kicked off a fundraiser BBQ Dinner at Burns High School this past Saturday to help sponsor their trip to Malawi, Africa, working with Hands On Mis- sions. The students were hosting and serving Flapjacks inside Applebees in Shelby. Behind Applebees others were washing cars. It was quite an enthusiastic and spirited student group, dedicated to achieving their FFA goal of $25,000. So far their efforts have produced $19,000. To cover the cost of the students going, $6,000 more is needed. Burns FFA students plan to be in Malawi from July 25th to August 7. Time is running out. If you can help in anyway for this caring and worthwhile project, send contributions to: Luke Beam, Burns FFA, Burns High School, 307 East Stagecoach Trail, Lawndale, NC 28090. Please make checks out to: Burns ISEE PROJECT. –M. A. Andrews Kicking off the annual "Alive After Five" music series was the beach boys from Lincolnton, "The Fantastic Shakers"!
