In other went*, the average teacher <n this country earns SI, fm more than the average North Carolina teacher. From this comparison it can be qu ckly seen why many capable Uarher- are leaving North Caro br,a to teach in other states The difference fe the v idest it ha been in history Mrs. Ethel P. Edwards, execu tive secretary of the North Caro lina Education Association, sa:j recently, "Unless teachers' sal aries are increased substantially during the next tm years. our teachers may find their average salary more than $1,500 less than their national counterpart.” She cited these figures: In average salaries paid teachers. North Carolina ranks 38th; in per cent of teachers with an “A" certificate, the state ranks 6th: in-per-cent of teachers-paid $4,500 or more annually, the state rank; 47th. ‘‘With more highly cptflified. professionals- personnel than most other states, we pay our teachers lower maximums,"’ Mrs Edwards explained • ; She pointed out that the lower standards of other states tend to pull, thejf- average «a!arv down, while in North Carolina the large number of teachers who hav" reached the scheduled maximum tends to pull the average up. Only 2 3% of the 35 000 teach ers in North Carolina earn S4 .VIO or more This contrasts with the national average of 48 1'-. Mary land. Delaware. Louisiana, and Florida rank above the national average. Only South Carolina and Kentucky rank below North Caro lina. The Slate Board of Education is requesting the 1950 General Assembly to provide funds for a Barbecue' Church' Goldsboro News-Arfut I uin.Ta! for tin' (IccClKd, Wr learn from the obituary column, was held from Barbecue Presbyterian Church at Olivia. The latter is a village in Harnett County, Burial was in Barbecue church ceme tery. 1 am a hit surprised to note that'it is a Presbyterian church. Bap ip .Is ^lagc so many barberries for little churches just getting started that thee truly might celebrate one with the name Barbecue Bapl:-l Church. But I hardly expected the dour Presbyterians to do any such thing. Just how did Barbecue church get its name? Ones it celebrate seme, famous barbecue, or barbecue master, or series of barbecues which raised money for the building? Some native of Harnett Coun ty come forward with the right information. When John Henderson read of Barbecue Presbyterian, he was reminded that the Warrenton Presbyterian Church was reopened after Reconstruction, somewhere a bit ahead of the turn of the cen tury. The church sacrificed for a new carpet. The ladies held ice cream supper^ every few day to make money for the carpet fund. Finally, when the great day came down, John's father, a pillar in the church, remarked with a sign of relief to his wife, tfi“at the ear pet was down and without one bit of ice cream on it Suppers, bazaars, cake sales and what have you are not as common for church fund purposes as they once were. When l was growing up in Sweet Union the. best favored plan was the oyster supper. Oys ters were a novelty for those of utliving in red clay Union. TThat is the way they were also in the suppers. You got about three oysters rn a big howl of soup But one went for the fellowship and the fra ternization with acquaintances, not for the food you bought. scbcduie ei SZOOO to $4,900 for tiie next two years.

OPINION . . . While it is the opmioa ef this writer thet from the beginning of the rare during the 1367 session right up to caucus time last week that Hewlett had a lead at all times, nevertheless, his victory has been termed by seme as a victory for the little man. a victory for the outs” against the "ins" Some people are already speculating on "big ger things" for the homespun man firm New Hanover whose dad served for 30 or more years as New Hanover County Commission er Chairman AT HOME . . .
