NCEA To Defend Members Rights Expressing concern about the number of teachers who are ap parently being fired unjustly, the North Carolina Education Association’s Board of Direc tors has reaffi-med its deter mination to defend the rights of its members vigorously. “We have to get away from the day when a school board can fire a good teacher simply because it doesn’t like the way he parts his hair,’’ Charles W. Pearson, president of the Association, said in a state ment for the Board. Pearson said restoration of the continuing contract for tea chers has failed to solve the problem of unfair or improper dismissal. He said three fir ings are presently under formal investigation by the NCEA’s Professional Rights and Re sponsibilities Committee, and that a rash of other complaints have either been settled through negotiation or have not reached the formal investigation stage. Dr. A. C. Dawson, NCEA executive secretary, said the number of complaints received from teachers has been great er than normal this year. He said the NCEA will do all with in its power toprotectthe rights of its members. One of these rights, he said, is not be fired without just cause and without the use of proper and ethical procedures. He added, however, that the ultimate answer to the problem is the enactment of a tenure law for teachers. Such a law was proposed in 1967 and 1969 Gen eral Assemblies but failed of enactment. Pearson said that until the day comes when North Carolina has a tenure law, the NCEA will protect its members by persuasion if possible and in the courts if necessary. The continuing contract for teachers was restored by the 1967 General Assembly. Prior to its restoration, a teacher’s employment terminated at the end of each school year, and a board of education could fire a teacher by the simple expedient of failing to issue a new con tract. Often, teachers went well into the summer months under the assumption they would be employed again in the fall, only to find out they were out of a iob. Restoration of the continuing contract was expected to help matters since teachers were assured of a contract for the coming year unless notified o ther wise by registered letter prior to the end of school. Dr. Dawson said the inherent weakness of the present system is that boards of education can still terminate a teacher’s em ployment without citing a rea son. The continuing contract law simply requires that a teacher be notified of dismissal, but it does not require tha t the board cite any reasons. Dr. Dawson said there have been numerous cases where the procedure for firing the teacher is questionable. He said at least some teach ers have faced intimidation dur ing the past year, and that in one case a white teacher in a Negro school found a cross burning in her yard. Economy To Be Stimulated RALEIGH, N. C. - - North Carolina’s economy will be stimulated by the revision of interest rate laws enacted by the 1969 General Assembly, President Claude E. Pope of the North Carolina Economic Resources Association said to day “Ceilings on interest rates which more nearly reflect ec onomic realities will promote a more viable money market in the state. Since money is an essential ingredient for ec onomic growth, it is evident that the action of the recently adjourned legislature will serve the best interests of all North Carolinians,” Pope said. “NCERA commends the General Assembly for taking steps to bring up-to-date the state’s 70-year-old laws on in terest rates. The searching debate on the issue, and the ac tion taken, has done much to create public awareness of the problem and the need for ef fective, long-range solutions,” he added. Pcpe pointed out that fur ther increases in interest rates in the national money market could negate some of the bene fits of the new legislation. "While all of us may hope fora decline from the present his torically high rates of interest, the fact is that the outlook is for a further rise. When mar ket rates bwnp against legal ceilings, problems will arise,” he said. Telephone Talk M.W. CARSON Your Telephone Manager I THE FIFTH GRADE SCIENCE CLASS was build ing up its chemical vocabulary, and the teacher called on a boy whose mother was a telephone operator. “What,” she asked him, “are nitrates?” The boy hesitated. “I’m not quite |-_ | sure, he answered s finally, “but I do know they’re { cheaper than day rates!” _/ He may not know much chemistry, but he does know the least expensive time to call long distance. On station-to-station calls, extra-low night rates are in effect after seven o’clock everv night, and WRwes ) AFTeR pm all day on Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Sara Duncan is your service representative. Sara’s responsibility is to handle all telephone accounts for our customers in the Black Mountain exchange. And believe me, with 22 years experience, she knows the business. Taking orders for service, handling com plaints, discussing bills, and her many other duties keep her busy. If you have a problem, need an ex tension, or for any other reason need assistance, give Sara a call. You’ll find her friendly, efficient and helpful. AND, IN THE PRE-SCHOOL SET, there was the four-year-old who scrambled up on a chair to answer tne pnone. jumping down in a rusn to call her Mommy, she dropped \ the handset. It crashed on me s chair, fell off, and bounced /'vr against the wall, / Looking very concerned, the young lady picked up ( the dangling phone and inquired sympathetically, “Are you hurt?’ We appreciate her concern Phones are made sturdy enough to take a lot of punishment, but it’s still best to treat them gently. 57K6-B (2 colsx 140 li.)

He also pointed out that the 8 per cent ceiling set by the law on loans of $50,000 or less secured by a first mortgage on real property will prohibit at traction of money from outside the state for residential con struction. "Money for this purpose will be limited to that available locally,” he ex plained. Removal of the legal ceiling on interest rates for loans of more than $300,000 should dc much to revive large scale commercial construction, which has been inhibited by state interest ceilings, Pope said. Bell Analysis A Bell Laboratories mathe matician recently exploded the old myth that baseball teams are more likely to split than sweep a double-header. Mi chael Goodman, of the Statis tical Models and Methods Re search Department at Murray Hill, N. J., is also a baseball fan and sports statistics buff. Analyzing major league double headers played in 1964, he found that 58 per cent of them were swept. Moreover, he discov ered that a good team was more likely to sweep a double-head er than win two consecutive single games.
