THE OPA ban lists the obvious
trips that should be eliminated, such
as rides to social meetings, vacation
trips, amusement places, golf courses,
said Mr.. Dawson, "and every trip he
does not absolutely have to make,

not mean that a trip to a grocery

81 ELEMENTARY
TEACHERS NAMED
FOR NEXT TERM
List Released BY F. E. Rathbun,
County superintendent; High
School Teachers Next Week

Teachers for the elementary schools
of the county have been announced
by F. E. Rathbun, County Superin-
tendent of Schools, for the coming
school year of l943-44. There are
ninety-four in the list with schools in
every election district except district
No. 7.
Mr.. Rathbun stated that teachers
were not being named at the present
time for nine one-room schools which
include Mt Zion, Chestnut Grove,
Sang Run, Hoyes Run, German, Stey-
er, Wilson, Boiling Springs and Piney
Run.
He pointed out that these were all
one-tcacher schools, located off state
highways and having small enroll
ments. He said it may be possible later
to find teachers who meet the certifi-
cation requirements to accept posi-
tions at these schools, but that at the
present time it was impossible to do
so.
He said if it continued impossible
to secure teachers for these schools,
then the Board of Education would
make efforts to transport the chill
dren of those schools to other nearby
ones
"The scarcity of teachers now pre-
vailing makes it possible for many
teachers to secure positions in graded
schools nearer their homes with the
result that they are not interested in
accepting positions in small ungradcd
schools of this type" He added that
teachers might be found during the
summer who would accept the posi-
tions who possessed the necessary
( training and preparation to qualify
them for Teacher Certification as re-
quired by the State Department of
Education in Baltimore without which
funds for payments Of salaries cannot
/ be secured from the state.
