"Strangely enough.” said Mr. Johnson, “all the people I’ve talked with seem to favor the idea.” He said it was not his proposal, but was suggested by a member of the board. This action would Rive both the Dunn and E ’“in schools seven or eight additional classrooms for oth er grades and would make it nec essary to add classrooms at these two schools. The proposal will be incorporated into the county school board’s long range p'anning program. THOMAS PRESIDES Sidney G. Thomas, chairman of the county board, presided over the joint meeting here.

Plant physicians said the woman, 58. apparently suffered a heart at tack while hurrying to work yester day morning. ESTRANGED FOR YEARS She and her famous daughter har been estranged for several ye.^rs. Friends said the rift developed when Judy, through her ambitious drive of her mother, finally attain ed success, only to discover she had lost happiness. Judy made her stage debut with her mother and father, the late Frank A. Gumm, a song and dance man. In later years Mts. Gilmore laun ched Judy and her two sisters, now Mrs. Sue Cathcard of Los An geles and Mrs. Johnny Thompson of Dallas, in a vaudeville singing act. It was from this act that Judy rose to stardpm. Teachers Map iContinosd From Paco One, BASIC PROGRAM The basic legislative program en dorsed throughout the state by the United Forces Far Education, a group which includes community leaders as well as teachers, in cludes the following: 1. The immediate reduction of class size from 32 pupils per teach er to 30 pupils per teacher, based on average daily attendance, and the reduction to 25 pupils per teach er as soon as possible. 2. A salary schedule of $2,600 to $4,100 for A certificated teachers as a minimum, based on present conditions with commensurate in creases in salaries of other schflol personnel. 3. Sufficient funds to employ an adequate number of properly qual ified attendance enforcement per sonnel. 4. Appropriations not only to meet increased costs of current expense items, but also to provide addition al required services and supplies such as more janito"s. clerical aid and better instructional materials. 5. Capital outlay funds by bond issue to complete the present schoo building program, these funds to be distributed on the baste of need and ability to provide. Harnett County School Superin tendent G. T. Proffit pointed out that this program te Intended tc primarily help sqcure ilmpre, an i bettST teachers "to dft- Setter teach ing for more children. For example, Proffit reported that normally each year. Harnett County needs 30 rs nlacements among white schools and 10 among Negro schools. In the Negro schools he has freedom of choice among many applicants. Not so in the white schools. “Everything else being equal.” Proffit said. “I would like to fill these posts with the most attract ive and best prepared young people I can find. But it is just human nature to go where salaries are higher. Not, many of this type of young people are going into teach ing.” Proffit said he now has 296 white teachers of which 50 are men. And he wishes he had more men. but mless salaries are better, he doubts f he will have many applicants. However, he noted the county has ileven teachers with graduate cer tificates. 25 with A certificates. 30 with B and four with C certificates. Among the county’s 108 Negro teachers there are six with gradu ate degrees, 100 A certificates and only one B certificates. A beginning teacher in Harnett County with an A grad* certificate, now draws $245 a month. A co worker with eleven years experi ence receives $345 a month. “These salaries sound fairly good,” Proffit said, “but remember they are only oh 9 nine month- basis Even with the tey percent salary’ increase recommenced by the ad visory budget commission.” thr school superintendent piloted, “be ginners would average' only about 1200 a month on a 12 month basis “And good maintenance men needed to keep our sV>oo) bulldinTf n repair, won’t work for that,” sair Proffit. “Silrply the person whr ’ashions the minds of our children ,s worth more than a construction wo-ker.” Incidentally. Proffit reported Har nett County has only seven main tenance men to keep a five trtillior dollar plant in order. "That’-', tor big a job for anybody." he said. In addition to Phillips, member* nf the legislative committee of the Harnett unit of the J4CEA present were: John Honeycutt, Erwin; Mis* Ophelia Mattttewn, Dunn; Ha’ Smith. Coate; Mrs.' Ruth S. Gregory Angler; Mrs. Eugenia Thompson Benhaven; Mrs. L inda Powell. Boone Trail; Mrs. Fay Porter Adams, La fayette; Mrs. Mildred H. Walker Buie’s Creek; and Mrs. Leslie Ste phenson. Anderson C-eek.

W NO EXTRA HELP During the clerk’s absence, no extra secretarial help was employ ed so that Morgan suggested that savings effected there and in sup plies would provide the salary out of the clerk’s budget. Commissioner Worth Lee Byrd’s motion that the salary be set at S3OO a month fail ed to draw a second. Byrd pointed out that any law firm in the coun ty would be eager to pay the capable acting clerk more than that in prj— vate employment. ™ Mrs. Inez Harrington, clerk to the board, noted that as an elective officer, her salary was not so high. Commissioner R. L. Mangum then suggested that the assistant clerk * salary be set at S2BO a month and eviewed at the end of the six months when a new budget will be drawn. Commissioner Lasater sec onded and approval was unanimous Solicitor Neil Ross and forme, deputy clerk of court, D. P.

TO CARRY COMPLETE LINE Mr. Pope said his store will carry a complete line of men’s women’s, and children's ready-to-wear, shoes and household furnishings.
