He went on in IN interview:
Red wine is scarce because OF
TRANSPORTATION and high cost, not
because De Gaulle is spollsport.
Red lights have been doused in
many areas Of prostitution partly
because medical inspection and
other controls broke down after
liberation, partly because the girls
reused public ire by consorting
with Germans.
"When France gets organized, l

THE only reason for closing
Paris night clubs was because
they didn't have electricity, coal or
heat - was there at. the time.
They did it for exactly the same
reason that we are putting a mid

country.
1T is imperative that the Al

to get milk for their babies right

Local Teachers Censure
Appropriations Bonus

The average salary of instruc-

schools is $1.019 yearly as compar-
ed with a National average of ST..
5O7 yearly, Mrs. Hinnant said. She
further reasoned that North Caro-
lima ranks fourth in the Nation in
educational requirements for teach
ers and Seth in salary scale. Tee
State has about 100000 pupils to be
divided among the $4,000 teachers
giving each teacher yearly load of
nearly 40 pupils. she said.
The teachers feel that their sala-
ries never have been adequate and
they had been working for an an
nual salary of 81 300, or 5000 month
ly during the nine-months term,
she declared.
1--WE feel that state which could
retire $1,000, 900 indebtedness and
leave an emergency fund of $780,
10000 could bring the salaries OF
teachers up to what they deserve,

Mrs. Hinnant pointed out that
the bills "bonus" provision was
the largest single item in the bud

over approximately $4,000 teachers
in the State. At the present time,
she declared, the maximum yearly
