'• i T In conducting thfe study, Dr.' pFoffik said, “We would like to find out in actual school rela tions what the problems are, what our approach might be to these problems,, find out wheth er or not' they are insoluable and discover whether or net the merit pay program in North Carolina will improve educa tion." “We are not going to point the fiager at anyone,” Dr. Proffitt i declared. “We are trying to see whether or not we can reccgni2e superior performance (teaching) ani*: reward it. But keep in nSSd, this an an experimental program.” jhe speaker has been named dissector of the Merit Rating Study and he announced the ‘•practical approach” will be used in the survey. “We plan to- go into three. administrative units, three school system which we hope and Relieve are repre sentative, there to begin experi mental pilot programs,” he said. “We shall obtain records , and take note of results in order ttifct we might present evidence I ot the value, or lack of value, of such a program to a school sys tem. We think this -approach has excellent possibilities.” The study is designed to ob tain answers to the ■ questions: Is-;- it desirous to relate superior performance (teaching) to salary: can a criteria be devised to mjke such .a program worth while imd good for the school; can superior performance of i t)ft* teacher be related to salary j wj[fh beneficial results Dr. j FSfeffitt emphasized the state does not intend tailoring a pro gram on a state level and tell ing a school system “this is it.” ’’■Some of the tough problems algbciated with the study were lifted by the speaker as getting a%& retaining an objective atti tude about this problem; keep ing before the teachers and lay rrien the fact this is an experi mental program; the human. fac to* of social and emotional prob es, and the nature of public j employment. '"I feel this is a challenge to j the teaching profession .in this | state,” declared Dr. Proffitt, j “l!he Legislature has said try tlitis thing out, produce the evi dence. I think we have an op portunity to explore problems of rW concern to us.” ,*i!Taking all things into ac cent, we want you to see about devising a criteria to judge >t££bhing performance and see hfl(v this can be related to sal the speaker said.

From The Tarheel Food Shopper 1962 Food Outlook In 1962, we again expect a larger volume of food available for consumption than was avail able in 1961. This will include greater variety and new forms, and many foods will be more available than they have been in the past. With an increase in popula tion, of one and one-half per cent, retail food prices for this year have averaged about two per cent above the same period of 1960. With average growing condi- Redi'Hung .

M. G. BROWN CO., INC. Phone 2135 Edenton, N. C. tions, production of food from crops should be about the same in 1962 as it was in 1961. Live stock production, however, is ex pected to continue the uptrend through 1962. Meat production in 1962 prob ably will increase. Little change is expected in 1962 average re tail prices for meat over the 1961 level. The supply of beef and pork will continue to increase slight ly in 1962. Prices of quality beef cuts, ground beef, economy cuts will be lower during the iast half of 1962. Pork prices will remain at about the same level as last year. Broiler supplies in.. 1962 are expected to be about equal to 1961. Prices will be about the same as in 1961. The turkey crop may be down somewhat from 1961, but the carryover of frozen stocks into 1962 will be well above a year earlier. Egg production in 1962 is ex pected to be higher and prices lower than 1961. Supplies of all food cereals will continue large, and the up ward trend in retail prices of cereal food products should con tinue in the coming year. Supplies of total canned fruits for the 1961-62 marketing year are expected to be moderately ! larger than a year earlier be cause of increased carryover stocks held by canners and the probable record-size pack. Can ned peaches, fruit cocktail, cher ries and purple plums are ex pected to be in greater supply. Fruit juice, especially frozen crange juice, is expected to he available in larger volume in 1962. Retail prices of most processed vegetables and fruits are expect! ed to be a little higher due to increased processing and distri bution costs. Retail prices of sbm.e of the fresh fruits prob ably will not average as high ! this fall and winder as in these seasons of 1960-61. I The product line of dairy pro- I ducts has doubled since World | War 11. Most of the increase | has occurred in products low in i milk fat and high in nonfat ! solids. The use of milk fat is iat an all time low. These I trends are expected to continue in 1962. There will be plentiful sup plies of food in the next 3-5 year period, however, prices may not decline because of increased marketing costs. 115 Receive Old Age Aid In December Mrs. J. H.
