Thursday, May 18, 1944 Teachers and the State Salary Schedule When the state salary schedule was adopted in 1921, the white teacher who graduated from college—and there were only 2,400 in this group then—received §100 per month for her first year's employment. As she accumulated experience this amount was increased until it reached §133.33 a month with four years of experi ence. Under the present state schedule, the beginning white teacher who has completed college receives §96 per month, which sum increases until it reaches §133 a month when that teacher has had nine years of ex perience. There are 17,000 teachers and principals in this group today. Furthermore, 20 years ago many teachers received supplements from worry, worry, WORRY ^HEADACHE!

This is all said in praise of the teachers of our public schools. In spite of the fact that salaries have been low. these patriotic citizens have continued to prepare for this impor tant profession. Why, the good Lord only knows. The work is hard, the pay is low: and, regardless of how good their work may be, they are subject to instant dismissal as the result of even a fancied slight to some kid whose dimwitted parents may make a community-wide issue of it. Taking into consideration the type of training a teacher must have to day, the salary schedule is a disgrace to the state. It is no wonder that both candidates for governor have announced an intention to use their influence to have these salaries in creased. The people of the state should make sure that whichever is nominated and elected, his pledge should be carried out, if we are to attract and develop the talents of desirable new teachers, as well as re tain those we now have. I'm Not Satisfied! By Ruth Taylok I don't like the phrase ‘‘selective service. " Yes, I know what it means —in the long run, it is the selecting, without regard to class, creed or co lor, of the best of our youth—and letting them fight our battles for us. Stripped of all trapperies, that is just what it is. Of course, I admit it has to be. The young are better fighters than we are. They are fit for the job, but if we are going to let other people do our fighting for us, surely we can do our best for them and for ourselves in universal service. Xo, I am not advocating a compul sory work-or-fight law or a draft of man and woman power. That would be just another form of selective serv ice. Those who could serve best would be doing the work for the rest of us. But—I d like to see everyone ac cepting the war as an opportunity to serve in some capacity. If we would all do that from the housewife to the busy executive, we'd get this war over at a rate that would startle those who have counted their greatest ally the selfishness of free people. I'm particularly strong on this | subject because it was brought home to me with a bang the other day when word came of the death in a South Pacific island of the brother of a friend of mine. That very day she had been showing me snaps of him— a gay, fine lad. proud of his job and of his friends in the service. He was a devout Jew by religion, a typical good American by citizenship, from an average small American town. He wasn’t a boy—but a man who join ed up in defense of a country that had given freedom to his parents and an opportunity to him and his sis ters He had left a career in which he was making good. He left the job of keeping the home together to his sisters and went out to do his duty. Life was just before him— and he gave his life. What are we giving that compares with this? What are we giving up? Little things that are really of no im portance. Must we consider our fu ture and get into jobs where we'll be set when the war ends? What of the ! boys who will never come back? They gave up their future. We aren't doing our part. What we do and what we give up—whether it be in the things we can't buy or in l taxes, is small gfimpared to what -our soldiers are giving up. When we think of their sacrifices, are we satis S fled with ourselves? I'm not. Are [•you ? -„ Inspirational Times Transcona (Manitoba) .Vews. Somehow, warfare, and especially modern warfare, seems to develop qualities of resourcefulness, courage, and the ability to inspire people to work together and give their best. What would happen if we found the way to inspire people in this way in time of peace? Find the way to do this and you have the answer to winning the peace. -# Republican Record Rode Island Free Press. The Harding Administration was distinguished for corruption. Then Harding passed out. Coolidge, who was at all times an apostle of in action, held sway. Then came Hoov er and reaction. So we have had the enlightening spectacle of Harding symbolizing corruption, Coolidge symbolizing inaction, and Hoover symbolizing reaction. That is the real history of the Republican Party. BACK IN the days when the German war machine was steam-rolling over Europe, the Reich Marshal boasted: "If one enemy bomb should ever fall In the city of Berlin, then my name isn't Hermann Goering! Well, Fat Boy, they've fallen—and there are plenty more on the way! With plenty of giant bombers to bring them—and well-trained crews to see they reach their mark. And back of these aerial armies the productive power of free men and women—mul tiplied many times by ELECTRIC POWER, turning the wheels that turn out the weapons of war. There's plenty of electric power where that comes from, Herr Goering— plenty for all essential war and civilian needs. But there is no eleetrieity to waste. Because its production consumes many critical war re• sources. Electricity is cheap and unrationed; our government does not ask us to do with out any essential electric power. There is one simple rule to remember: Use all you need, but need ell you use! Hear "Report to the Nationoutstanding news program of the week, every Wednesday evening. 10:30 E. W.

Corporal Nathan W. Spruill. jr„ of Roper. N. C.. is a member of one such mobile unit, stationed in Ulster, which is now converting 15,000 pounds of dough into bread and roasting 4.000 pounds of coffee daily as a part of its own invasion train ing. Corporal Spruill is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan W. Spruill, sr.. also of Roper. The unit now operates in large huts, using British-made equipment which is powered by Diesel engines. Although these installations are semi permanent. the unit can move at a moment's notice and start produc tion with the ovens and roasters any where. A limited amount of space is required because of the compact ness of the equipment. This particular Quartermaster unit operates three ovens and one coffee roaster. Each oven is capable of bak ing 576 pounds or 288 loaves of bread every 25 minutes, and 140 pounds of freshly roasted coffee are available every 22 minutes. Bread is baked in round loaves and will remain fresh for more than three days, according to Technical Sergeant Dewey Hawes, of San Antonio. Tex., a veteran of 27 years' Army service, who is in charge of the bakery. Ingredients used in making each 576 pounds of bread include 420 pounds of flour. 8 pounds of salt. 7 pounds of sugar. 7 pounds of yeast, 6 pounds of lard and 23 gallons of water. Coffee beans are roasted under a temperature of 450 degrees Fahren heit. The roaster operates 16 hours daily, but the freshly roasted coffee is packaged according to the needs of the troops. Every member of this mobile unit has completed technical training but continues to receive additional school j ing as operational methods are im proved. It is similarly trained in basic infantry tactics, according to First Sergeant Mason B. Miller, of Denver Colo., company clerk, who has been a soldier for the past 19 years and who knows this unit's history personally from the time of its ac | tivation.

Joe Marsh —--- M Doc finally agreed on this point We had a real old-time church supper the oKier night. Bert Childers played the fiddle, and the ladies brought refresh ments. Of course, we missed the boys who were away-but all in all It was mighty pleasant. Only sour note was Doc Mc Ginnis. “Shucks,” says Doc, "we oughtn't to be enjoyin' ourselves when American soldiers are over there fightin’ a war." Now from where I sit. Doc’s absolutely wrong. AH of us are working overtime to help the I war. We’ve got our worries and troubles. It's a mighty good thing we can relax with a little wholesome enjoyment. And I believe it's what the men over there would have us do ... keep up the little friendly customs they remember —like the evening get-togethers, hav ing a glass of beer with friends, and all the little pleasures they look forward to enjoying. © 1944, BREWING INDUSTRY FOUNDATION, North Corolina Committee Edgar H.
