New Hanover Delegation
Attends Pay Hike Farley

A delegatio. of five New Hanover
county teachers attended the South

proponents of the South Piedmont
schedule plan for teachers sala-
ries in the Senior high school in
Fayetteville on Saturday and heard
discussions on the plan, Mrs. Rob-
ert Fennell, president of the New
Hanover Classroom Teachers as
ISOLATION, said last night.
Miss Marjorie Alexander, Char
lotte, in reporting to the group on
the progress made by the support
ers of the South Piedmont plan,
said that Robson, Brunswick, and
Columbus counties were 100 per
cent in teacher and principal adop-
ton of this schedule, with other
counties following with so to 80
per cent. New Hanover county re-
ported 100 teachers ~favoring the
plan, but al schools did not report,
Mrs. Fennell said.
Miss Alexander, Mrs. Fennell
reported, based her talk on figures
furnished by the North Carolina
State Department of Public In
struction and said that the. low
salaries of North Carolina teachers

tired to be now teaching; 1,l53
teachers to leave the classroom
during the first four months OF
1946-47, of which 759 held a class

The purpose of the South Pied
mont plan, as incorporated in the
bill presented to the House and
Senate, is ito establish reasonable
salary schedules for better trained
and more experienced public
school teachers, with a view to
encourage competant young men
and women to enter the teaching
profession and to encourage ex-

ORDINATION RULE
CHANGE TO ADMIT .
WOMEN ATTACKED

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9.-P)-
The Rev. DR.. Clarence E.. Nc
CARNEY, pastor of the Pittsburgh
First Presbyterian church, says
the proposed ordination Of women
to the ministry of the Presby-
terian church would increase the
occasions for scandal, faction, and
church quarreling."
In an article published in "The
Presbyterian" whose editorial Of
fees are in Philadelphia, the
clergyman said:
II am opposed to the ordination
of women as ministers and elders,
not merely because there is no
precedent for such action and no
authority for such action in our
inspired constitution. the new
testament, but also because it is
ineXpedient.
IF a poll we're taken of the
total church membership, it would
be found that out of our 1000, 900
members only a handful are asking
for Women as ministers.
THE women themselves do not
want it. 1t would tend toward
the complete Termination of our
churches and more and more in
crease the alarming tendency to
throw the whole burden ana
responsibility of church work upon
women"
The 15Sth general assembly Of
the Presbyterian church in the U.
S. A. voted at Atlantic City last
May to submit the question of
ordination of women to the sepa-
rate Presbyteries for their con
sideration.

JERUSALEM, Feb. 9.-(PeI
Jewish agency leaders announced
tonight that their formal reply to
& British request for cooperation
against underground violence In
the Holy Land would be delivered
tomorrow and that 1t probably
would reiterate the agency's stand
that Jews would not act as I'm

Sir Alan Cunningham, high COM
missioner of Palestine, told the
Jewish leaders, who had indicated
fear the British would impose
martial law in some areas, that
mo substitution for civil admins
tration in Palestine is contemplate
ed at present"
The announcement conceded with
receipt of dispatches here telling
of the subduing of $50 Jewish would
be immigrants by British sailors
who boarded their schooner off
the Palestinian coast and brought
it to Haifa today.
The reports received here said
the 100 sailors braved a barrage
of iron bars and bottles in the
boarding operation and that one
Jewish immigrant vas shot in the
leg.
At Haifa, British soldiers herdeo
the passengers from the schooner
to the transport Empire Haywood,
It was believed that the transport
would transfer the immigrants to
Cyprus detention camps. A num-
Der of the passengers displayed
minor injuries, indicating a strug-
gle with the British had occurred
aboard the schooner, although
Haifa officials claimed the board
ing was completely without OPP
position"
Some %hysterical women among
the immigrants were taken to hos

The pretty starlet swept INTO the

and Barbara Stanwyck's shoes.
But only Jinx, Lauren and Bar

thought the s~tarlet had forked over
\ wad of cash for a new OUTFIT
at one OF the swanky gown salons
ON famed Sunset Strip.
She'd come from a Sunset Strip
shop, all right, but had peeled OIL
only $50 for the whole snebang.
The starlet had visited Inc
famed Gowns of the Stars store.
where she literally bought film Ac'
tresses' clothes right off thelr
backs.
A film star pays a designer like
Adrian $500 for a custom-maoe
suit. The fit is nifty, the color be-
coming. the style snappy. but she
wears it only twice.
You can't expect a star to be
seen in public in the same nunlbah
all the time, a you?
Some film queens give their
clothes to their relatives, Or may
be the cook. But the more pracu

She's felt responsible when some

Maria Montez, end up big shots.

of a big but LAUNDERING Uni
versity Of Colorado squad today,
entertaining a crowd of 1000 by
rolling up a At to 0 core.
Blaik sent a total of 46 players
into the game, including 10
backs. Most of them gained
ground through and over the
bulky Colorado line, which was
able to stop the Cadets only
once.
Elwyn (Rip) Rowan, who is
trying to fill Doc Blanchard's
place at fullback, was the only
Cadet to score twice. He did it
in the first quarter, when the
Buffaloes still were putting up
strong resistance, on a long pass
from Bill Gustafson. He repeat
ed in the fourth on a 12-yard

made by Abos Gillette, Bert
