I There is a good move about salary increases. However, I
think there is false information being passed along as
causes. This salary increase is for school teachers. School
teachers, like everyone else, need to try to keep their
salaries up with the cost of living. . .So, there is little doubt
a salary increase is needed for state school teachers.
However, it should be pointed out that better education for
tl.e young will not be automatic. Fact is. if teacher "Jane"
is teaching student "Mary" at today's salary, teacher
"Jane" will be teaching "Mary" tomorrow. . .The fact
that teacher "Jane" is getting more money definitely does
not mean student "Marv" will be taught anv better. .
Until teachers "Jane" and "Joe," students "Mary" and
"John," and parents "Jim" and "Sue" agree to
cooperate in the education process, the process will, in
most cases, remain second rate. The parents, the student
nor the teacher can push their responsibilities off on the
other and expect good results. It takes all three in the
process and a commitment. We can build great buildings,
pay exhorbitant salaries, give phoney awards and phrases,
but until those three key ingredients commit themselves,
education will go lacking. . .In the cost-cutting category ?
and I am sure someone is looking for some way to cut the
amount of money going into education ? the place to look
is at administration. . .Move those high-salaried people
into a class room ? 80% of them, anyway. That will cut
the number of students per teacher and perhaps cause
some administrative people to earn their way. , .It is
strange, but true, that a very good and effective teacher
can change to administration and after a short time forget
what they did to become effective. . .They seem tit'be in a
different world. . .This administration-cutting should take
place at community colleges, too. . Bv the way, the power
struggle is still causing unrest at JSTC. . .One day the
trustees are going to have to face facts or watch the
education process be destroyed. My solution would be to
break up the whole shooting match, demote them all, and
send each to another system, and start at JSTC with a
completely new batch...

Rose Hill commissioner Felton Rackley is unhappy
with a chemical company advertisement billboard at Rose
Hill's southern city limits. . .Nothing wrong with the
advertisement. Nothing wrong with the facts on the sign. .
.It is just the location ? well, the wording and the location.
. .If it were a ways on down the road ? but it isn't. . .At
the city limit sign leaving Rose Hill is this great big
billboard sign saying "Gtx>d-bye, suckers.". . .It is, of
course, referring to tobacco suckers and a chemical to
destroy the suckers. . .But, in big bold letters, as you leave
Rose Hill, you see "Good-bye, suckers." . . .Son-of-a
