Teachers Of County Discuss Their Problems At a county-wide teachers’ meet ing, hckl in the Shelby high eshool auditorium Monday afternoon, committee* were named to head specialized training groups for the various grades, intensifying teach er-training for the adoption of a standard Instruction program in the 12-grade system. The general session, presided ( over by J. D. Huggins, chairman; and principal of the Polkville; school elected Mrs. W. R. Gary, vice-president and Ruby Irvin, ’ secretary, of the assembly whicn will meet once a month in the fu- | ture. The assembly was then di-I vided into individual grade groups j which elected group leaders and , committees to head further dis cussions in teaching problems and attempt standardization of teach ing methods in the various grades. STANDARDIZATION \ This need for standardization has enme about as the result of the 12-grade system, initiated in 1941, when seventh-graders of that year entered into an addi tional year of elementary train ing, Superintendent J. H. Grigg said, resulting in the need for reallocation of subjects between the grades. "The twelfth grade was not simply another grade ad ded on to the eleventh,” Mr. Grigg said, "but another year of school which would Intensify training of the subjects already taught in the several schools." The newly ap pointed committees will have the responsibility of initiating through their groups the Instructional standards and specialized training to be adopted in each grade. GROUP LEADERS The following group heads, in the order of chairman and sec retary, were named for grade groups as indicated: First grade—Language, arts and music—Ella Lee Burnette and Mary X*wis Patterson; second grade—Mrs. J. A. Olay and Mrs. J. H. Jonas; third grade—language and arts—Mrs. Harold Honeycutt and Mrs. Helen R. McGill; fourth grade—language and arts — Mrs. Guy Willis and Yvonne Cornwell; fifth grade-language, arts and natural science—Mrs. John Blan ton and Mrs. B. P. Peeler; sixth grade—language a*nd arts — Mrs. Harold Roberts and Jessie Baxter; seventh grade — drawing — Sue Borders and Mrs. Leonard Allen; eighth grade—North Carolina his tory, music and art—Mrs. G. H. Edmund and Mrs. Sue Moss, high school supervision — O. W. Morris and O. P. Hamrick. Group leaders for high school grades will be appointed at the next meeting. Mr. Grigg stated. EARTH Starts On Pare One distributing the meager supply which trickled into the city. They were still meeting emergencies this morning. The weatherman promised lit tle respite for today and tonight. A freezing drizzle was predicted for this section with lowering tem perature tonight. PLUMBERS BUST Plumbers were having a field day against their wishes. Calls to repair burst water pipes were stacked high on their hooks and they were getting to these calls as rapidly as possible. Doctors were traveling despite the snow and ice to make calls in hundreds of homes invaded by in fluenza. The influenza cases were aggravated by insufficient fuel. In many cases householders are at tempting to bum stoker coal in grates and stoves and the results are not satisfactory. Unless the weatherman relents within the next two days, Christ mas travel will be held to a mini mum. Already many holiday trips have been canceled and the long distance telephones were humming with new arrangements.

GILLIATT’S Phones 7 & 11 AGED METHODIST MINISTER DIES The Rev. W. C. Crane, 82 re tired Methodist minister, died at the home of a daughter, Mrs. A. D. Cochran, of Sharon community, early yesterday morning, following an illness of about a year. Funeral servicecs will be conduct ed from the St. Paul Methodist church, of which he was a member and former pastor, Thursday after noon at 2:30. The Rev. \r. Crane was active in the ministry and religious work until forced to retire of failing health. He assisted with the plan ning and building of the Cherry ville Methodist church which was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning. For the past 10 years he has made his home with his daugh ter. Surviving are his widow, the for mer Miss Cora Harmon; Mrs. Coch ran; three sons, Lonzo. Lloyd and j Adkin Crane, of Cherryville; and 20 grandchildren.

Slight Decline In Mail Volume Today A decline in volume of mail was registered today as figures for yesterday fell slightly under those of the previous day when all rec ords few volume at the Shelby post office were broken, it was learned this morning. Cancellations, though heavy un til noontime yesterday, dropped off in the afternoon and fell be low Monday’s 34,000 mark by about 500 pieces. Concellations at noon today were at 10,000 compared with 12,000 at the same time yes terday. Receipts still remained slightly under last season's fig ures. Twenty-one thousand 1 1-2 cent stamps were sold yesterday, compared with 35,000 the previous day. MANY Starts On Page One aations should be convicted as criminal groups and that their members should automatically be held guilty of war crimes in vary ing degrees. Evidence already has been pre sented against the Nazi leadership corps and the Reich cabinet. Still remaining to have their day in court are the Elite Guard (SS), the German high command and the Gestapo. Col. Storey said German records proved that the SA, with the knowledge and consent of its members, was used: 1, to spread Nazi fanaticism; 2, to beat down political opposition by force; 3, to lead the campaign against the church, trade unions, and Jews; and 4, to build up the armed for ces of Germany in violation of the Versailles treaty. MINOR NAZIS The prosecution’s contention that hundreds of thousands of minor Nazis should be automatically con victed of war crimes at the Nuern berg trial confronted the tribunal with the necessity of1 making a ruling on whether the proceed ings will be dragged out by hear ing from any member of the ac cused organizations who wants to speak. Already filed with the court are more than 30,000 applications From individual Nazis belonging to the accused organizations who are asking for permission to appear to defend themselves. When the Indictments were re turned, the court held that any member of the indicted organiza ;ions could testify upon the ques ;ion of the criminal character of ;he group. j ENMASSE DIFFICULTIES That the American prosecutors nay have a hard Job in trying to j sonvict the lesser Nazis enmasse; vas seen by critical questioning | from Lord Justice Sir Geoffrey i Lawrence, presiding, and Justice Francis Biddle, U. S. representa- j ;ive on the court. Both interrupted with questions yesterday that indicated doubt as n whether the Nazis in the lowei itrata had any hand in formulat ng the Hitlerite program of ag gression. Fox Attacks, Gets Worst Of Bargain SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 19. —(JP)— C. W. Grizzard, of Tattnall Homes, came to town with the warm body of a big red fox. He told the Morn ing News this story: He had stopped his automobile eight miles from Savannah to in- | spect the tires. He heard a rustle in the leaves and turned to see what caused the noise. At that instant the fox leaped upon him. Grizzard grabbed the animal by its snout, gave a quick jerk and broke its neck. WOULD Starts On Page One with universal training — in the development of a comprehensive and continuous program for our future safety and for the peace and security of the world. "One of the lessons which have most clearly come from the costly and dangerous experience of this war is that there must be unified direction of land, sea and air forces at home as well as in all other parts of the world where our arm ed forces are serving,” Mr. Tru man continued. “We did not have that kind of direction when we were, attacked four years ago — and we certainly paid a high price for not having it. x x x GRAVE RISK We would be taking a grave risk with the national security if we did not move now to overcome per manently the present imperfections in our defense organizations.” The president said there is no basis for fear lhat an »ver-aU organization would lodge too much power in a single individual—“that the concei|:ration of so much mili tary power would lead to militar ism. “There is no basis for such fear as long as the traditional policy of the United States is followed that a civilian, subject to the Presi dent, the congress and the will of the people, be placed at the head of this department. “The safety of the democracy of the United SUtes lies in the solid good sense and unshakable con viction of the American people. They need have no fear that their democratic liberties will be imper iled as long as they continue ful filling their duties of citizenship.” CHIANGS Starts On Pace One 1936. The generalissimo.

DEAN BLACKWELL HIT BY TRUCK Dean Blackwell, 11-year-old son of Mrs. Corinne Blackwell, who lives on Chestnut street, sustained a broken ankle late yesterday af ternoon when he was struck by a ' hit-and-run truck driver on East j Warren street. The child was left lying in the snow with his injury. He could pot give a description of the vehicle which hit him other than to tell that it was a ton and one-half truck. He said that he called to the driver after he had been hit but that the trucker simply put his truck into second gear and sped off. Fisher Baby Found Dead In Bed Today Sylvia K. Fisher, 13-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Fisher, of Dover street, was found dead in bed this morning. The child had suffered from a cold and a slight case of flu for the past several days, but her condi tion was not considered serious. Funeral arrangements were in complete this morning. CONGRESS Starts On Page One comes back and goes right to work without drawing unemployment benefits,” Rankin said in an in terview he might try to have it rejected. He added, however, that the ne cessity of completing congressional action immediately if the bill is to become law this year might lead him to change his mind and of fer separate legislation next year. On other compromise provisions there appeared to be little or no likelihood of a fight. These ease the prc\ nt string ent control wielded by the Veter ans’ Administration over GI loans and raise the maximum govern ment loan guarantee from $2,000 to $4,000 on real estate. This would permit a maximum real estate loan of $8,000, with the government guar anteeing one half the amount. REAL ESTATE LOANS The compromise calls for real es tate loans to be arranged by recog nized lending agencies, the veteran and a veterans’ administration lo cal appraiser, with agreement by the three parties to be binding on the administration. Business loans still would require administration approval, as is now required for all loans. Other Senate-House recommen dations : 1. Make loans easier to obtain by making the "reasonable value” of property the basic consideration rather than the "normal reasonable value.” 2. Broaden the purposes for which loans may be made and increase the period of repayment. G I. STUDENTS 3. Raise the subsistence allow ance for G.I. students from $50 to $65 monthly for unmarried vet erans and from $75 to $90 for those who are married. 4. Permit veterans to take cor respondence course and short-per iod technical courses at government expense. 5. Eliminate the present 25-year age limit at which it is presumed a veteran's education was inter rupted by service. 6. Make Ar/iricans who fought for allied governments eligible for benefits of the bill. WESTERN j Starts On Page One centered in Detroit and Washing-1 ton today. Union leaders and top officials of General Motors were in Wash ington for the first hearing by President Truman’s fact-finding board on the month-old strike of about 175,000 GM employes in sup port of demands for a 30 percent wage boost. The union yesterday rejected a Ford Motor company offer to hike wages 12.4 percent and later it disclosed that GM strikers have voted by a 99 percent majority “to remain on strike until their de mands are met.” Rejection of the Ford offer, however, did not create a deadlock i in the wage negotiations and they will be resumed tomorrow. Meanwhile the fact-finding group studying the CIO Oil Work ers wage demands was in recess until Friday and awaited an opin ion on whether it should consider possible price increases in making recommendations on CIO demands for a 30 percent wage increase. In addition to the 175,000 strikers at General Motors, more than 200,000 other workers remained off the job throughout the coun try because of labor disputes. MOLOTOV Starts On Pate One emphasized again the cordial at mosphere which prevailed and said this was indicative that all was going well. The progress so tar was pictured as follows: The first session was taken up with routine procedural matters, the second was devoted to filing papers by all .hree sides and getting the dis cussions lined up, and the third was devoted to exploration of the issues. Byrnes and Bevin spent some time yesterday going over trans lations of the American-Brltlsh Canadian proposal on the control of atomic energy, which the U. S, secretary of state had previous ly announced he was bringing to Moscow. It was not disclosed, how ever, whether the text was actual ly placed before the conference for discussion.
