Armstrong TEACHER
WINS SUIT FOR PAY
Mrs. E. B. Howard Gets Judgment
fer $1,516 Salary, Validity of
Which Was Contested.

Mrs. Edith B. Howard, a teacher in
the Armstrong Manual Training
School, has been awarded a judg.
ment by Chief Justice Mccoy
against the District of Columbia for
S1,516 for salary between September
], 1926 and March 2. 1927. Assistant
Corporation Counsel Williams opposed
the judgment on the theory that as
the District has no power to appoint
a teacher or to discharge one it should
not be sued for her salary under the
Court of Appeals decision that the
Board of Education is an Independent
body.
Chief Justice Mccoy denied the
claim of the District and pointed out
that the appropriation for all salaries
of the public schools are made to the
District of Columbia and it only pays
the teachers. Attorney Crandal
Mackay appeared for the teacher.
The period covered in the suit was
the time that elapsed between the
date Mrs. Howard applied for teach
ing post after being out of service
under the provisions of the maturity
and maternity regulation, and the
date when she was again placed in
employment.

the peach festival, the apple blossom
festival, he said, was advertised for
Winchester, Va, at which three
states participated in exhibitions and
the whole country was invited to at
tend the occasion.
Georgia's orchards represent an in
vestment of over 10 millions of dol

properties of any apple growing state,
Mr.. Porter stated. He gave it as his
opinion that in the next few years
apples will become an important fac
tor in the fruit industry in the South,
ranking with the peach and water
melon in production.
The Porter Brothers Farm Corpor-
alton at Esom Hill, owns 10000 acres
of apple lands on Treat Mountain.
