Game Restocking
Effort Hits Snag

Forest rangers, Wolcott, Ship
ley and Rose, Of the jefferson
National Forest forces of Norton,
released Is wild turkeys in t.
South of the Mountain at what
is known locally as the 'old
Counts, place" Thursday, with the
hope that they would thrive and
propagate as a beginning of their
program to restock that area with
wild birds and animals.
The birds were released near
the cabin built and frequently oc
cupied by the forest force. and as
a matter of precaution. Rose and
Shipley were designated to re-
main at the cabin for a few days
to look after the turkeys and to
try and induce them to take to
the trees for a roosting place at
night so as to avoid wild cats and
foxes.
But, sorry to relate, when the
two rangers went out Friday
morning to scatter feed for the
turkeys, they found that nearly
all Of them had been slaughtered
during the night. The two assum-
ed that some person had wrought
the havoc but old timers like
William Stanley, Wash Wallace
and others maintain that gray
foxes did the job.
Had the turkeys Jared reason
ably we'll, they planned to re-
lease others in that section short
ly. but such plans have been dis
continued after the unfortunate
experience of Thursday night.

Buchanan, Wise and Lee counties
made no contribution. Russell
county contributed $18; Scott 81;
TazeWell $50. Dickinson teachers
contributed 81 yer teacher or a
total of $146.
The purpose of the campaign
was to secure funds to promote
the following program: l. to Sc
cure and maintain adequate sal

ter the war; 2. to obtain action
to correct grave education defic-
iencies revealed by selective Ser

state and national bases; 4. to
keep in active touch with the
many departments, bureaus and

FEEBLE EFFORTS OF STATE
SCORED BY TEACHERS

In a recent study released by
the Virginia Education Associa-
ton through its monthly publica-
ton the following facts were re-
vealed concerning the feeble eff
forts of this great Commonwealth
toward support of public educa-
ton. In 1912 the per capita in
come was S697. Total income of
all citizens in 1912 was $780,
100000 Expenses for all schools
in the state was $24.442, 447 or
1.3 per cent of the total income
or expenditure Of 5000 per pupil
in average daily attendance. The
state of New York spends annual
ly S160.24 for the education of
child.
The average annual salary of
teachers and principals in the
state of Virginia in 1940-41 was
1891 while the average for the
United States during the same
school session was S1470.
The state treasury has sur
pus of nineteen million or more.
1t is the duty of the General As
sembly when it convenes in jan
uary to raise the salary of all
teachers in the state to the min
imum of $1,000 asked for by DR..
Dabney Lancaster, Supt. of Pub
lie Instruction.

Two Jeeps. Plane

That's the earnest suggestion Of

Remember the Civil War slo-
gan, forty acres and a mule for
every soldier'?' he asks. THAT
was a farsighted thought. ....."

war, and the airplane already has
been designated as the coming
thing in the postwar period. Many
war pilots will work in the air
to earn a livelihood"
The plane, however, will never
be used as widely as the automo-
bile, he believes; the human ele-
ment must be considered a pilot
must have good eyes. quick reflex

Madame Chiang's influence over

Since then she has been with
him whenever she vas not acting

She served as commander in
