SANDWICHES BARRED.
More Rigid Observance Of Meatless-
Wheatiess Days Urged.

At meeting of the Ascension Par
! ish Council Of Defense, held here last
! Saturday with Walter Lemann in the
chair, organization Of the body was
perfected by the election of superin-
itendents Of committees, as follows
Seditious utterances, Dr.. J. T. Brin-
gier, of Burnside; publicity, Sidney
I Harp, Donaldsonville; finance, Leon
Newman, Geismar; vagrancy, Robert
(. Noel, Mccall; junior educational,
Supt H. P. Broussard, Donaldson
vile; public sentiment, Joseph Con
zales, Gonzales; food conservation,
Miss Marjorie B. Arbour, parish
emergency home demonstration
agent; food production and distrlbu-
ton, J. O. Montegut, parish farm
agent. These superintendent were
empowered to secure as many deputies
in the various wards as may be needed
in the performance of their respective
duties. j. G.. Klos, parish treasurer
was elected treasurer of the council.
1t was decided that steps be taken
at once to secure educational SIDES
to be shown at the motion picture
theatres on nights when no regular
pictures are presented, and the matter
was placed in the hands of Miss Ar
bour for attention.
A committee consisting of Walter
Lemann and ]. O. Montegut was ap-
pointed to solicit the support OF the
Donaldsonville banks in furtherance
Of Junior pig club work in this city.
The suggestion was advanced that
space on the bulletin boards OF the
postoffices be utilized for the dlssem-
nation of patriotic information, as
authorized by the postmaster general.
The following resolution was unan-
imously adopted:
"Whereas, it has come to our at
tention that the meat and wheat sup
ply of the United States and its as
sociates is far below normal; and
whereas, we are facing an unprece-
denied worldwide shortage OF these
commodities; and whereas, the United
States food administration through
it's spokesman, Herbert Hoover, has
called upon the American people to
abstain from the use of meats on
Tuesdays and Fridays, and wheat On
ednesdays: therefore be it
Resolved by the council of defense
for the parish Of Ascension, that we
do hereby pledge our most unequivo-
cal and ever enthusiastic support in
the carrying out of this essential pro,
gram, and that we do call upon and
strongly urge our housewives as well
as our restaurants and lunch counters
to discontinue the serving OF or use OF
meats or wheat -four on any OF the
above designated days, and to that
end that on said days no sandwiches
be sold by anyone"
Miss Arbour, superintendent of the
food conservation committee, was en-
trusted with the duty Of securing a
general observance Of meatless and
wheatless days TO the extent suggested
by the resolution.

Favors Increase Of Taxes to Raise
Teachers Pay, il Necessary.
Donaldsonyille, La, Feb. s, 1918.

Editor Chief
The question of an increase OF
salary of our public school teachers
is matter which Is no longer sub
ject of debate. If it ever were a
subject Of debate, letters from "Tax-
payer" and School Teacher" have
clearly shown that the only question
now remaining is how to raise the
funds to provide sufficient salary SO
as to obtain the very best teachers FOR
our children. There is no such thing
as extravaganza when it comes to
spending public monies for public ed
ucation. An educated community is
a community armed to meet and solve
every problem which mpv confront it,
and every cent invested in a public
school system will return thousands
Of dollars in dividends to the people
paying the taxes.
| think sufficient funds could be
raised to pay the teacher an adequate
compensation if the state levee boards
and parochial authorities would prac-
tice economies and eliminate some Of
the high salaries they pay for work
actually performed by others at rea-
sonable salaries.
Approaching as | do the Importance
Of educating our children by giving
them the best educational advantages
money can obtain, / would gladly IA
vor an increase Of my taxes il the
suggested economies hereinabove set
forth should not produce sufficient
funds.
If Taxpayer" and Miss School
Teacher" will come out in the open
and disclose their identities / shall be
glad to go further into detail.
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor, for the
use OF your valued columns, and trust
ing that we shall have the pleasure of
having you enlisted editorially on the
side of "School Teacher and against
the views of Taxpayer / am,
Yours very truly,
