Further progress in Macomb
County's efforts to establish q
pension. savings and retirement
fund for more than ESQ employees
was recorded at Fridays meet
ing Of the county Board OF Sup
ervisors, when q three-man SUBJ
committee was appointed to act
on employees classifications.
The committee Is composed of
Supervisors Grover Powell. OF

ship. They will regulate and ad-
Just classifications of employees
who are engaged In varying
types of work during the work
ing day.
It was announced to the Sup
ervisors by Controller Sherwood
j. Bennett that recent amend
ments to state laws relating to
retirement plans for municipal
employees will entail some revis-
ion of the prospectus originally
set up for Macomb County. in
October, 1914, by A. G. Cab
riel, consulting actuary, OF De-
troit. Bennett said Gabriel will
handle this revision without cost
to the county.
SCOPE EXPANDED
The scope of the pension plan,
supervisors were informed. has
PRACTICALLY doubled since it was
originally proposed last year,
due to the inclusion of employees
of the Macomb County Road
Commission in the scheme.
At that time, supervisors were
baffled as to how the countys
portion of the pension plan
could be contributed, since 1t
was believed that road funds
were strictly earmarked for road
purposes. There was no problem
in respect to the county contrib
uting approximately $17,335 in
the first year and Sl1,644 in
future years for 13l general en-
ployes earning $262,250 annual
ly.
But supervisors were puzzled
as to how they could legally ap-
propriate $22,219 for 124 road
employees earning $249,094 an
nually.
INCLUDE ROAD FORCE
Newly amended legislation has
now made it possible for the
county to make its contribution
legally from road funds, and the
retirement plan now embraces a
total payroll of $51l,344, with
the county's first-year contribu-
ton being $39,554; future years
s24,647. and prior service, $l4,-
GOT.
The county's first annual con-
tribution will be TIA per cent OF
the entire payroll. Employees will
contribute five per cent Of their
annual pay on each payroll not
in excess of the $4,000 figure,

of the world, in all countries and of all races.
Here is where the teachers come in -
teachers in school, where everything has to
be learned by children and also teachers
out of school, where so much has to be UNI
learned by adults. The writer, the preach
er, the radio commentator, all are teachers
in this wider sense Their task is not only
to sell our democratic way of life to the
defeated nations, but to sell ourselves a
new concept of the future. There will be
no lucky nations in the next war. "One
world" has come, for good or evil, whether
we like it or not.
PERHAPS we had better learn to like it,
since we have to live in it. But this again
is where the teachers come in. They can
explore and chart the new territory that
has no geographical frontiers - territory
of the mind and spirit in which every clear
thinker is Columbus. They can draw the
line between reverencing the past and be-
ing hidebound by it; they can bridge the
gulf between saints and cynics Ia far more
crucial division of humanity than saints
and sinners. They can insist that every
man shall have bread to eat, 50 that he can
then learn that man does not live by bread
alone
If l had child who wanted to be
teacher l would bid him Godspeed as if
he were going to war. For indeed the
war against prejudice, greed and ignorance
is eternal, and those who dedicate them
selves to it give their lives no less because
they may live to see some fraction of the
battle won. They are the commanders of
the peace, if peace is to be more than a
short armistice. AS in relay race, our
armed men have handed victory to those
who dare not stand still to admire it, but
must run with it for very life to further
and larger goal

for Americas teachers
TINE men in uniform are coming home,
l'having finished the gigantic job they
set themselves; but it is only part of the
job that has to be done. They have left
an even bigger job to the soldiers of the
future.
Before you read sinister note into that
statement, let me explain. Those soldiers
of the future are not in uniform. They are
never drafted. They carry no arms Yet
today they face a task as difficult as the
Normandy landing, and one in which the
penalties of failure are just as grave.
They are the teachers -. in world
that has so much to learn. and so little
time left for learning
Basically, what has to be learnt is SIM
pie - as simple as the formula that Elm
stein was able to put into three-letter
equation quarter of a century ago. But
it is just those simple things that are apt
to be tremendously difficult To translate
the Einstein formula into the atom bomb

the worlds best brains To translate lone
world into living ethic of peace will re-
quire no less -. and perhaps more.
IT IS not soft-hearted job of teaching
us to love our enemies, or even our friends;
it is hard-headed job of sharing the same
world with all sorts of people. whether we
particularly like them or not. And sharing
implies justice, and justice implies some
kind of worldwide organization to pro-
nounce and enforce judgment; and this in
turn demands, in addition to our best
brains, the support of the plain people
