SECTION ONE— A SENATOR ft. I A LENNON Jgt REPORTS ☆ Bflti Washington Easter brought a lot of North Carolinians to Washington, and a number who live here went back home for the week-end. Senator Griswold The Senate was shocked at the sud- 1 den passing of one of our colleagues, Senator Dwight Griswold of Nebras ka. He had not been in the Senate very long, but had made a great im- j pression on all of us. I attended the ! memorial service in the Senate on I Monday, at which time last tributes were paid to him. Re was on the Post j Office and Civil Service Committee, with me. Mortality Rate The mortality rate of Senators is j high. I am advised that there have: been 23 Senators who have died in the last ten years, including three j North Carolinians, Senators Josiah i W. Bailey, J. M. Broughton and Wil-, lis Smith. Wool Bill By the time you read this column, the Senate is scheduled to be taking up the Administration’s wool bill. It will bring about quite a debate, I am told. I am still in favor of the 90 per cent of parity support for basic farm crops grown in North Carolina where production controls and market ing quotas can be set. Our tobacco ‘ program has been a model for others. It is a tribute to farmers of North Carolina. Much of the farm price support program is hinged on the wool bill. Student Exchange I have had some letters recently deploring the reduction by the House of funds for the foreign student ex change program. This is one program which needs to be strengthened and not weakened. It esems to me that Senator Fulbright deserves commend ation for pushing this program. I strongly favor the program, and I can' think of no better way than this of getting across the idea of democracy and freedom. Ambassador I hope all of you are carefully fol lowing the good work that Billy Gra ham is doing in England. He cer tainly is an ambassador of good will and Christian fellowship. As I told you in a previous report, it was my pleasure to entertain him at a lunch eon here in the Capitol ju t before he went overseas. At that luncheon were a number of our most important Senators and Congressmen. Billy | spoke to us about his trip to England.

At the request of 'Goldsboro officials, I am glad that my 'office could be of some little help in | getting experts from the Bureau of j Mines, who are experienced in blasts land explosions, to go down and help out. This - And - That Mickey Vernon’s tenth inning home ' run that won the opening ball game for the Senators was a thrilling con clusion to a good ball game. I didn’t get to see the game, but I read the news accounts. Two Tar Heels are on the Washington team, Tommy Umph lett of Ahoskie and Tom Wright of Shelby . . . One of the best views of Washington is from the Lee Mansion at Arlington. | Letter To Editor | The PTA meeting on last Tuesday night was one which I wish that all parents and interested citizezns could have attended. Mrs. Ferguson’s pro gram was attractive enough in itself to have made everyone glad they had attended. However, the business meeting is actually what I have in mind. It was a shining example, to coin a phrase, I of two groups of people who should be working and fighting for the same things ultimately, each on an opposite side of the fence. This fact, remain ing until now, a complete mystery to me. There were some recommendations presented to the PTA by a committee appointed by the president, for the approval of the PTA Association in Edenton. Several of these sugges tions have had their origin in the State Department of Education. They are as follows: 1. Levy a special school tax of is icents in order to: (a) Provide additional instruction- 1 THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1954, al supplies. (b) Eliminate all local student fees. (c) Increase teacher supplements to insure better trained teachers. 2. That the local teacher supple ment program be reconsidered. 3. School Board and Public Rela tions: (a) That public notice be given of each regularly scheduled meeting and minutes of each meeting be published ! in the local newspaper and that a rep resentative of the PTA be given a standing invitation to attend each meeting. 4. Employ additional teachers in the elementary school so that no class ’ will be larger than 30 students aver . age daily attendance. 5. We suggest that the School Board make a thorough study of the ■ school attendance problems which would result in decreasing the teacher ■ load and improving classroom in struction. 6. That an adequate program of sick leave be set up for all teachers. 7. That all fund drives except for school-sponsored drives be eliminated in the schools. I want you to consider these care fully and tell me how a group of teachers could possibly conscientious ly vote against such suggestions.

The recommendations are cer tainly by no means final as a result of the voting them in or out. The vote was merely to have them en dorsed by the PTA and presented to the School Board for consideration. Assuming, of course, that these men are men of discretion, foresight, wis dom and have the very needy interest in the best over-all program for our school system. It appeared at the meeting, I might add, that we have a one-man school board, as he seemed quite capable of telling us exactly how the School Board would feel about the matter without the necessity of the presentation of the suggestions to them. Parents are, naturally, primarily in terested in their childrenl Where one’s children are, there also is one’s heart. However, many parents sec ondly certainly make an effort to un derstand the problems and difficulties of the teacher. A happy, not over loaded well-satisfied teacher generally makes a good one better. At least, it seems to stand to reason. My idea would certainly be to cooperate with my child’s teacher to the best of my ability and definitely not to compli cate her working field. There was a meeting in a colored church.
