Mr.. Braden said: Nothing is
more important than that the peo-
pie everywhere have free access to
information. If they could have
this, they would quickly break
down the barriers of ignorance and
prejudice, and having removed
these obstacles, they would not al
low themselves to be governed ex-
cept by themselves.
Mr.. Young Sr., gave brief re-
view of the Negro press and

Board Delays Action On Teachers Salary Schedule

Failing to act last night, as an- ticipated. on a proposal for revision of the Waterbury teachers salary schedule, the Board of Education told a teachers delegation that it had encountered difficulty in draw ing up a new schedule and wished to consult further with members of the Finance Board.
 Cognizant of the Sept. Is budget deadline, a delegation from the Wa terbury Teachers Association and the Principals Association had ex- pected definite answer from the board last night to its proposal. The delegation was told before the meeting by Raymond F. Stone, president of the board, that no action would be possible last night.
 Mayor John s. Monagan disclosed that he and members of the board would meet tomorrow with the city budget director and members of the Finance Board for further dis cussion of the teachers salary issue. The group had also met yesterday afternoon.

Celery Serves To Compliment Tasty Dishes
MIRIAM WEINRIB WatArhllrv Nutrition Coun

Celery is so plentiful in most markets these days that it's good idea to include it frequently in your meal plans. You might be interested to know, incidentally, that in some mysterious way, celery got it's name from the Greek word for parsley which was "Selinon" Celery does double duty, because it can appear at mealtime either raw or cooked. It belongs in any relish dish, plain, or stuffed with flavorful cheese filling. It's an important salad in- gredient, and helps to round out the taste of many soups, Stuffings, and stews. Then, there are creamed celery and celery soup, both of which the fine ways to use up the course outer stalks of celery. There are two varieties of celery, the fam iliar Golden Heart, and the newer Pascal, or green celery. This is crisp and tender all the way through, and many people think it has better flavor than the bleached celery.
 Celery Cabbage, or Chinese Cab bage, is another delicious vegetable you'll find in your markets now too. It's something like cabbage, but is long, like celery looks like big, fat bunch of celery, in fact. This can be used in many of the same ways as both celery and cab bage.

before the Connecticut State Teachers Association this afternoon when the board of directors meets in Hartford to consider the Nor walk salary controversy.
 Miss Fennessey Canty. Wilby High School teacher who was a leader in the recent successful statewide fight for equalization of teachers pay, is a member of the board of directors in the state unit, and will attend this afternoons ses- sion.
 Reporting for the boards joint committee on finance and teachers, which has been studying the salary proposal, Commissioner Edward Bergin said the members had con- suited with the Board of Finance and had arranged for subsequent meeting.
 we regret very much that it is not possible to give a detailed re- port on the salary situation," Ber- gin said. Of course the board re- alizes that it is a very difficult thing to put the proposal in opera tion due to the various pay sched- ules now in effect"
 Optimistic Note Observed
 Then Bergin injected comment which renewed optimism on the part of the teachers delegation. He said: We trust that when we do submit the schedule that it will be equitable to all concerned"
 Although the deadline for sub- mitting a proposed budget for the Education Department is Sept. 15, the board in past years has ob- tained extensions. It was reported, however, that the budget would be ready Sept. 12, and the board would hold an adjourned meeting either on that day or shortly thereafter to consider it.
 Supporting the teachers delega- ton, headed by Miss Helen Hogan, president of the Teachers Associa- tion, were two members of the Kingsbury Parent-Teachers' Associ- ation, Mrs. J. Walter McGarry, president, and Mrs. Benjamin Ozaroff, secretary.
 P.T.A. Favors System
 Mrs. McGarry told the board that the PT,A. tavors the single salary schedule, and expressed the hope that when it is put into effect it would not take "too many years for the teachers to reach their new maximum"
 Meanwhile further demands for revision of teachers pay schedules were made by Leavenworth High School faculty member, Gerard J. McEvoy, who wrote to the board quoting figures on the increased costs of living
 MT. McEvoy, who asked for an immediate 30 percent pay increase for teachers, listed figures given by John R. Steelman, national director of reconversion, on the rise in prices of food, clothing, and other commodities.
