Teaeliers Receiue A Gain In Retirement Answer To Acute Te.cher Shortage Has Not Been Found... North Carolina teachers have received a gain in retirement bene fits, it was announced by Mrs.; Jtfary Nesbitt, North Carolina CTA President, at the Western District Workshop held in Ashe ville on Tuesday.. Mrs. Nesbitt expressed ap preciation particularly in the provision for survivqr benefits the provision of the' equivalent of a year's salary fbr the survivor if a teacher dies in service. This is a new provision, how ever, it was not a part of the United Forces of Education pro gram. It was funded through the State Employees and Teachers Retirement System and does not require any state funds. At the same meeting, Mrs. Helen Wells, state NCEA Presi dent, stated that the public must do its share in promoting the cli mate for quality education. "Education is not a one-way street. The teaching profession cannot accomplish its goals alone. We in the teaching profession need to continue working with the public," she said. Following the general meeting the executive council for the West ern District passed a resolution stating that the council expresses its disappointment that the State Legislature had failed to provide the major provisions of the UFE program. "Classroom size was not re duced; extended term was not granted, meaning that teachers would not have additional plan ning days before or after the school term; and the salary in crease Was inadequate and the provisions were misleading to the public," the council said. The salary increases was stat ed as being a 20 per cent increase, when in reality, it was closer to 17.6 per cent because the actual increase is 10 per cent the first year (1967-68) over last year (66-67) and the second year (68 69) the increase will be 10 per cent based again on the years 66-67," the CTA said.

His family and friends soon began addressing him the same way. This is enough in modern days to encourage a youth to pursue s career in medicine. But back in 1899 when he was born to a proud, but poor family to have such an ambition should have stumped the average youngster when he realized the years of work and money involved. Not J.

Briggs of Ashe ville has declined an offer to serve as North Carolina chair man of the Romney for President campaign. Briggs, who was first approach ed with the offer in Raleigh while he was serving in the 1967 General Assembly, formally re jected the proposition last week. He said business commitments in connection with his Asheville law practice some of them neglected during the six months session of the General Assembly compelled him to turn the job down. In a letter to Bill Mcintosh, former Michigan congressman who is now with the Romney for President headquarters in Wash ington, the Buncombe County Republican said he would have considered the post "a great chal lenge. . .as well as an opportuni ty," had he been able to accept.

MARSHALL Success for Marshall High School this year will depend, aU most entirely, on how a few battle-worn veterans come through. Depth and experience are in short supply on "the Island," but some top-notch returnees could eliminate some of the problems. Returning from last year's team are John Fisher, a big, bruising fullback, and Roger Haynie, a solid 205-pound tackle. Fisher will bear the brunt of the running attack because of his size and three years experience. Coach Roy Reeves said, "John is a hoss. He's built as fine as they come. He has adequate speed and a lot of desire." Elsewhere in the ibackfield, James Haynie, a rangy junior quarterback will attempt to earn his second letter. Mike Jenkins, "a hardnose lad," will be a full- time halfback while Malcolm Reeves and Calvin Rhinehart will split their time between halfback and end. Mackey Ramsey is firmly en trenched at end. He lettered last year. j With, Haynie at tackle is Gary Sprinkle, a 180 pounder. Two sophomores and a junior are the guards. They are Yates Ward, Gary Sams, and Terry Bryan, the latter two being sophomores. Let terman Wayne Tipton, 150 pounds is the center.

Hamlin is an all-around good back who played quarterback a couple of games last year. He is a hard 5-9, 165 pounder with good speed. "He's probably the fast est back we've ever had," said Am mons, "but he doesn't look too speedy until he breaks into the open." Jack Brown, a sophomore, shows a lot of promise of becom ing a top halfback. He is stocky and "likes to run over people." Dillingham was termed a bull by Ammons. A year as a starter has made him a veteran in only bis junior year. 1 There is plenty of sixe in the line. Steve Huff, 170, Don Grif fin, 185 and Jim Huff, 6-4, 180 will play end.
