Since the State Highway Patrol
was first organized, Union county
residents have had little oppor-
tunity to become familiar with it's
operations, except through occas-
ional contacts. In other commun-
tiles, where Patrolmen have been
regularly stationed, the citizens
have developed great respect for
these alert, courteous and efficient
officers.
Now, the Highway Patrol will
have a headquarters in Marysville,

This date found only six schools
out of the Is in the Union county
system with complete faculties.
They are Chuckery-Darby, Lees
burg-Magnetic, Liberty, Peoria
Special Washington and York.
Millcreek, Allen and Taylor still
lack superintendent. Jerome, Dow
er, Milcreek and Taylor each lack
one high school teacher. Allen and
Claibourne-Richwood lack one ele-
mentary teacher each, while jack
son, Jerome Special, Millcreek and
Union lack two elementary teach
| erS, each.
Grade Teachers Hardest
1T is in the latter category-ele-
mentary teachers-that we expect
the greatest difficulty finding re-
placements" Supt. Baldwin said.
The others we should have taken
care of by the time school opens,
although right now that picture is
not good, either"
All together, there were 46 va
cancies to be filled this summer. OF
this number, 16 returned to home
duties, 13 entered non-teaching
jobs, 10 will teach outside the
county, and seven changed schools
within the county.
The three superintendent vacan-
cies listed above were filled at one
! time, but all three went to better
paying jobs in other schools with
in the past week, Mr.. Baldwin said.
Since then, he has had two or three
inquiries from other men concern
ing the jobs, but nothing very de-
finite.
Something will be found to take
care of these Vacancies-and likely
the high school teachers, toby
Sept. l. Perhaps it will be at a
higher cost, but we feel it will be
I! taken care Of" Mr.. Baldwin de-
clared.
Storage Nationwide
/ Elementary teachers, however,
tpresent a different problem, and
! there is much likelihood that some
of the schools may open without all
the elementary teachers they
should have.
THE teacher shortage, which is
nationwide, has become critical
! because few high school graduates
enter teaching, due to low salaries
and restrictions which communi-
ties have in the past placed upon
teachers" Mr.. Baldwin explained.
Some districts in Union county
! have not sent one graduate into
teaching during the past 10 or Is
| years"
Many regular teachers left for
the military services or war jobs
since .1941," he continued, land
found better pay and more pleas
ant working conditions to their
! liking when the war ended. The
| expected return of these people
| did not develop.
! Former teachers of other
Iyears have helped to keep the
| schools going, but now this supply
! is exhausted and school boards
face their most critical year in the
history of the schools.
Unless school patrons do some
thing to help recruit young people
for teaching, the entire school pro-
gram in rural schools faces a
breakdown. More money to pay
better salaries must be provided
and the profession of teaching
made attractive for young people. "
