School Study Report
Backed by Virginia
Education Association
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 23.-The
Virginia Education Association's IS
Legislative Committee issued a
statement yesterday predicting that
recommendations made, last week
by the Moses School Study Commis-
sion will meet with a large degree
of satisfaction and acceptance"
Chief among these recommended
tions were higher salaries for teach
ers, State ownership and operation
of school transportation facilities,
increased aid to needy localities, i'm
provement in vocational education,
system of sick leave with pay and
increased retirement allowances.
The commission recommended a
p per cent general retail sales and
use tax, increases in State income
taxes and other revenue-raising
levies.
Statement Is Quoted.
The YEA statement said in part:
There can be little doubt that
in view of the thousands Of express
sions of opinion favorable to large
program Of school improvement re-
ceived by the commission before it
reported, as well as overwhelming
indications that the people Of Viz
ginia are willing to pay more taxes,
the Moses Commission recommen-
tdations will meet with large degree
|of satisfaction and acceptance.
"The Moses report backs up the
budgetary request of the State
Board of Education. 1t largely in
corporates the legislative proposals
of the Virginia Education Associa-
ton. It is significant that these
three groups have arrived at ap--
proximately the same conclusions
concerning their conception Of the
needs of public education in Vir-
ginia and the amounts estimated to
take care Of these needs.
Current Need Stressed.
1.-THE Moses Commission suggests
that since the Governor has already
made up his budget, perhaps part
of its recommendations will have
to be deferred to another session
of the Legislature.
Current school needs ,are so
acute and so serious that delay fur
ther than the 1948 session of the
General Assembly would tend to
make the situation worse.
Under the leadership Of Gov.
Tuck the special session of the 1947
General Assembly took a great for
ward step. 1t should be pointed out,
however, that the additional funds
made available for teachers sal
aries were swallowed UP by the
rapidly increasing, cost of living.
Support for the Moses commits
sion's proposals already has been
expressed by the Virginia Teachers
Association, Inc, which represents
teachers in the colored schools of
the State.

Name Of Hanna
 Glacier To Be Changed To Peters
tBy Vern Haugland)

 WASHINGTON, (P) - Unless objections are raised in the next 30 days, there no longer will be an Alaskan glacier named after Mar GUS Hanna, the Cleveland political leader who twice helped elect Will liam Mckinley President.
 Instead, the Hanna, second largest northward-flowing glacier in the Alaska range, will take it's original name in honor of w. j.. Peters, one of the geological sur vey engineers who pioneered the area. The glacier, l3 miles long, encircles the northwest of Mount Mckinley.
 A. H. Brooks and D. L. Raeburn of the geological survey, the first white men to set foot upon Mount McKinley's slopes, named the gla- cier for Peters in 1902.
 Two years later, the same year Hanna died, the U. s. board on geographical names, by special request" renamed the glacier for Hanna. The name was never ac- cepted in Alaska, and except on official maps the glacier has con- ! tinued to be known as the Peters. One name, that of Mount Wright, south of the junction of the Sanctuary and Teklanika riv- CTS, perpetuates the memory of George M. Wright, naturalist who discovered the first nest-the only one yet found-of the rare surf bird. Wright was killed in an au- tomobile accident near Deming, N. M., in 1886.
 Official sanction was given to the name of Mount McKinley's two spires-20,3 ,300-foot south peak, highest point in the North

l though that was rather strange as they hardly ever desert their partner unless one of them gets killed in some manner, and I knew I hadn't killed either one of them, as they are just too tough to hurt with a sledge hammer.
 Also l could see a diabolical gleam in the eye of the one that was left, which meant that he was up to mischief of some sort. but he was keeping me too busy to look for the other one.
 All at once, I felt something sticking me in the back. Do you know while the one was keeping me busy, the other had sneaked around behind me and bit clear through that big fir tree to get me.
 We'll I just whirled around and bent about a foot of his bill over with the sledge hammer and he couldn't pull it out. I knew I had them licked then because the one wouldn't leave the other, so I just walked off.
 About ten minutes later, I saw the fir tree being dragged across the side of the mountain. Do you know they dragged that tree across the mountain for two weeks until they had finally worn the end off the one mosquito's beak and he could get loose.
 After that the loggers used to delight in getting mosquito to bite them through a tree so they could bend their peaks over They bent over so many that they final ly started a new breed of short peaked mosquitoes.
 Yours for bigger and better Alaskan mosquitoes,
 Your son, Bart.
