PAY TEACHERS MORE


That was the lament of a
Citizen editor over the resig-
nation of Dave King as city
manager.
The editor expressed the
hope that the city commits
sion will get an efficient
man to fill Kings place.
But the editor could have
extended his lamentation.
He could have said that
Monroe county has surplus
of S125,000, which, evident

commissioners wit h ambi-
tious plans designed to help
the people of the county.
Frequently it turns out
that when we think we are
helping somebody we really
are contributing TO his undo.

thousands of times in cases,
without a second thought.
of giving money to every
body who asks us for it. IT
we investigated before we
gave, we would restrict our
handouts, as we would learn,
that we were assisting per-
sons to lead an idle life.
Sincerely, the c oun ty
commissioners have initial
ed a program that entails
the spending of thousands
of dollars. Acquiring t he
Municipal h pit a !, the
County clinic and the con-
struction of a pier for yachts
and charter boats are all
commendable undertakings,
but their acquisition should
be spread over several
years, so far as financing
the projects are concerned.
Monroe county school
board, with $136,526.60
surplus in the treasury, steps
forward and asks the tax
payers to- give the board
$80,956.85 m OF re this year
than was given last year.
In asking for that money
there was talk about the
new school house at Mara
thon, the money to pay for.
which was included in last
years budget; the repairs to
the Harris school, for which
an insurance company has
paid SIS, 1000, and 10 per
cent increase in the salaries
of teachers.
With the assessment in
the county S4,133,673 more
than last year, the board
can raise the teachers sal
aries 20 per cent and re-
duce its millage 1.8, instead
of increasing it .1.8, and still
have a surplus in the treas
fury at the end of the next
fiscal year.
We don't know exactly
the amount of teachers sal
aries in Monroe county last
year, but we do know that
the school board received
S47,500 from the race
tracks. As things financial
ly have turned out, the
board could have increased
salaries last year, instead
of pickering about them, by
10 per cent, and still would
have had a hefty surplus
at the end of this fiscal
year.
What will the board get
from the tracks this year?
! n OBJ ody can definitely
answer that question. So far
as we know, the racing sea-
son the coming winter prob
ably will beas good as it
was last winter. But let us
say that the board G t S
only $4,000 next year from
the tracks. How much of
that still will be left after
the teachers are given their
raise of 10 per cent? Fact
is, it would be more than
enough to take care of an
increase of 20 per cent.
Teachers here, there, and
everywhere, except in large
cities, are underpaid. Pay
them well, and the Monroe
county school board can do
that without any appre-
cable pressure on its treas
TRY with a millage this year
under the millage of last
year.

COUNCIL SENDS FOOD TO
STARVING AFRICANS

NEW YORK, Feb. 20 (ANP)-
Two shipments of canned food and
$1,000 have been sent to starving
African natives by the Council on
African affairs, according to DR..
Max Yergan, executive director,
while Gen. Jan Christian SHUTS,
prime minister of South Africa,
launched an $8,000,0O0 campaign
last month to send gifts of food to
great Britain.
SHUTS government then ordered
the natives to pray for relief from
the droughts, which is responsible
for the famine, and the general
food shortage has been the subject
of a sharp debate in the South
African parliament. Six shiploads
of corn have been ordered from
Argentina, DR.. Yergan disclosed.
He said two shiploads of Ameri-
can oats recently left New York,
the first such order since the Boer
war, to save African cattle owned
by Europeans. About so per cent
of the cattle owned by Africans has
already been lost. Africans in the
reserve territories, who are able to
work, may soon be able to earn
little cash by relief work on roads
and other public works sponsored
by the South African government.
"Your message and help are
great encouragement and very
much appreciated by our commit
tee," wrote Mrs. Betty Radford,
chairman Of the food fund.

NEGROES Can ESCAPE
KITCHEN BY CLASSIFICATION
TESTS, NAVY SAYS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (ANP)
The stewards mate branch of the
navy is open only to those who fail
to pass the general classification
test, Navy Secy. Forrestal told Les
ter B. Granger, National Urban
eague executive.
Granger, who has been acting as
special advisor to the navy secre-
tary, had reported that Negroes in
many cities had been refused en-
listment in the service except in
the stewards mate branch.
Forrestal replied that anyone,
regardless of race, creed, or color,
who meets the physical, mental, and
moral standards is qualified for en-
listment or reenlistment in the reg
ular navy in any of the general
service ratings authorized in re-
cruiting circular letters, provided
he is a citizen of the United States
or of its insular possessions.
Personnel separated from the
service over three months may be
reenlisted, if physically and men
tally qualified, under broken serv-
ice standards. AS such, they cannot
come in as petty officers. If pre-
vious service has been with the
army, marine corps, or coast guard,
they are likewise ineligible for petty
officer ratings. Enlistees who have
had no previous service in any
branch of the armed forces are eligi-
BILE for enlistment as seamen or as
stewards mates. However, colored
enlistees are not accepted for gen.
eral service unless able to pass the
general classification test, given to
all enlistees. If their mark isebelow
the required standards
ut is hoped that the above ex-
planation will clarity navy stand
ards for all applicants for enlist
ment," Forrestal concluded.

CROW UNCONSTITUTIONAL

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26 (ANP)
Federal Judge Paul j. McCor-

four Orange county school districts
on petitions filed by five Mexican
fathers charging racial discrimina-
ton against their children.
The segregation of school chill
dren on the basis of race or nation
ality violates the 18th amendment,
Judge Mccormick said. Orange
county school officials had refused
to admit 5000 children of Mexican
descent to schools where non-Mexi-
can students predominated.
