State Assembly
Adopts Bonus
For Teachers
Emergency Pay Bill
To Last Until July
Raleigh, Jan. 23 (UP) Salaries
for teachers occupied the attention
of the Legislature today. Both houses
approved a plan for a bonus to tide
teachers and other State employees
over until July the first.
Then the State Superintendent of
Education Dr. Clyde Erwin asked
the Appropriations Committee to
earmark every single dollar they pos
sibly could for teacher pay for the
next two years. Dr. Erwin outlined
the present teacher shortage in North
Carolina. And he said increased sal
aries was the only way to cure it.
Board Makes Request
The State Board of Education said
its request to the Budget Commission
for a 20 per cent pay increase was
prepared last summer in the light
of conditions then. But it said both
the cost of living and the State's rev
enue had risen since summer. And it
asked for more money not for any
definite amount, but for any sum possible.
In his Legislative address and again
in his budget message Governor Cher
ry said he felt twenty per cent was
the maximum raise the State should
undertake.
