Second Section VOLUME LXIX.— NO. M v • -' v.4 h-.i! BOONE, WATAUGA COUNTY, owniVR' ' > ! "V'v--.'H ' W A' - ft! J 7 - mti ri i Second . MARCH 7, 1VS7. Appeal Being Made For State's Teachers '•< \ v . • ? \ Messrs Alfred Adams and R. E. Agle, members of the North Carolina Committee of 100 (Laymen) for Better School* In North Carolina have aent a letter to the patron* of the local schools in support of improved salary ichedules for the teachers. The text of the letter follows: "We urge you to study the bills before the State Legialature. We further urfe you to let these gentlemen in Raleigh know how you feel. ( "The Advisory Budget Commission'was recommended a salary increase of 9.1% for the public school teachers of North Carolina; the State Board of Education has recommended a 19% increase. The present salary schedule of *2,430 to $3,420 will not hold the good teachers we now have, nor will it attract the type of people we want and need in the profession. We are losing too much of our best talent to states with higher salary schedules; and we are of the opinion that, unless the State Board of Education's recommendation i* accepted this year, we will be act back many, many yean aa Car aa school teachers are concerned. "The good men in Raleigh must be confused, and we feel that they need our help. We are not at all attempting to tell you how to think on this matter, but we are urging you to study this problem fully and then let your repreaeotative in Raleigh know what you want Time is of importance and action is needed now! "Our state senator is the Honorable Todd Gentry and our representative ia the Honorable S. C. Eggers."

Collegians To Deal Polio Second Punch The students of A. S. T. C. will have the opportunity to deal polio the second punch of the one-twothree leriei that will cause it to become defeated. Those students who are eligible to receive the second shot may fet them in the lobby of the Physical Education building on March 7 and 8. Hie clinic will be in operation on those days from 8:30 till 4:30. Those persons who have not received their first shots may get them on that day also, you are reminded that -if you are under 21 and have not as yet received permission from your parents or guardians this must be obtained. As we look back over the first clinic we were well pleased with the response, some 1,080 students received the vaccine at this time. Of this number 700 students paid for the shots, which is an indication that the students wanted the shoto «sd- welcomed the opportunity to receive them at this nominal cost Or. D. J. Whitener said in an interview that he was expecting some 80-78 more students to take the shot this time. There are possibility some students on campus who have had the first shot at a previous time and will be uiing the second shot at this clinic. He also stated that he wished to thank the personell of the Watauga County Health Department, under the direction of Dr. Mary Michal who was most helpful in securing the vaccine and most generously gave of their time and equipment He also wished to thank the college nurse who worked hard at getting the education program across and then was on hand to administer the shots. Dr. W. H. Plemmons, president of the college wished to thank all those who helped to nuke this program a success. It could not have been the success that it was had it not been for the cooperation of all, including the students of the college. There are however on the campus some students who did not receive the shots because of the fact that they were possibibly afraid of the reaction that it might cause, it has been stated by medical authorities that there is the least amount of reaction to this vaccine than any that has ever been used before. So if you have not started the one-two-three knockout blows start on March 7 and 8 with the second polio clinic. Those students who are going to be off campus next quarter may get their vaccination on March 8 at the nurses office in White Hall.
