Editor:
e influence of the preas on
o opinion was again clear
demonstrated during the past
Our public schools were
opened last September by em
ploying hundreds of teachers who
were not certified. Many Vacan
cies were not filled then and are
not filled today. The public, how
ever, at that time was not aware
of this crisis in education.
Ton and your colleagues set
to work. Tou gave, abundant
apace to true stories concerning
the true situation.. With editorial
pen in hand and coats removed,
you joined the crusade and
sought to awaken an apathetic
public. That you met with some
success is evidenced by the leg
islative action of our recent Gen
eral Assembly. Without your ag
gressive stfpport the teachers
would have received no more
than a 20 per cent increase if, in
deed that much. This letter,
therefore, is to thank you for
every story you carried and eve
ry word you wrote.
We afe especially grateful for
your assistance while the 1947
Legislature was in session as well
as for your continued support
now that Federal Aid hearings
are being held in Washington.
Teachers are deeply indebted to
you and to your newspaper.
You know, of course, that the
crisis has not ended. We shall be
made aware of its continuance
when our schools open In Sep
tember. Thousands of North Caro
lina boys and girls will again be
taught by the unskilled and the
untrained. Equality of education
al opportunity in our State can
only be realised when the local
community, the state, and 'the
Federal Government Join hands
and unite their resources. We
shall need your support again,!
and we know we may count on
you to continue the crusade up
on which* are engaged all those
who believe that the schools of,
today will inevitably determine!
the social, economic, and politi
cal future'of tomorrow.
Qratefully yours,
ETHEL PERKINS,

Atlanta, Gu., May 23.?An In
dustrial sugar user, under new
hardship adjustment regulations
established fey the Sugar Ration
ing Administration, may apply
for an upward adjustment if his
present sugar base is less than
a .base calculated on April 20,
1942, production figures, A. D.
Simpson, Jr., regional sugar ex
ecutive, said here today.
The regulations, effective May
21, also permit sugar base appli
cations from any person using
sugar oontalning products in the
manufacture of other products
between January 3, 1941, and
April 20, 1942. In such cases,
Simpson explained, the amount
of sugar in the sugar-containing
products must have been less
than the sugar base computed on
the base computed on the basis
of the capacity of the plant as
of April 20, 1942.
In addition, any transferees
may now apply for"an adjust
ment in his sugar ration base.
Simpson said that under the old
regulations, hardship adjust
ments in sugar bases would not
be granted transferees unless, a
mong other requirements, the
transfer was by will or through
inheritance, or unless ownership
interest prior to the transfer
could be established.
Users and producers of jams,
jellies, preserves, marmalades, or
fruit butters, etc., for which pro
visional allowances are not per
mitted, are not eligible for hard
ship adjustments, he said.
