Teachers Federation
Endorses Federal Aid
To Schools

The local teachers union has
sent the following letter to the
representative of the Ninth Dis
trict in Congress:
Hon. Tom B. Fugate,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. Fugate:
The Dickinson Federation of
Teachers, affiliated with the AM
erican Federation of Labor, is
keenly interested in the progress
of the bill providing federal aid
for education. We believe that
education has long since been a
national problem and that better
schools are national necessity.
We note with pleasure that this
legislation has your support.
We are proud to know that in
accordance with its splendid ira
dition of support for social legis-
lation the American Federation
OF Labor is leading the fight for
the enactment Of this bill into
law.
May we ask for a digest of the
present status and future pros
poets of this legislation.

Brushy Ridge Leads
All The Rest

The worst yet in moonshining
apparatus is reported by officers
who seized still on Brushy
Ridge late last week.
An old oil tank had been rig
ged with a hollow block from a
blackgum for a cap. Other Access
series were of the same makeshift
order. No worm was found. Dep
uties Stanley, Mullins and Ham
monds made the raid.
Chief Deputy Ross Phillips is
authority for the statement that
a great deal of moonshining is 90
ing on in the county at this time.
He believes that the output is now
as great as ever it was in the days
of prohibition.

days week, and the truck mines
can sell all the good coal they can
put out.
Reports are that L & N and
C&O coal cars are plentiful on
the tracks. This would indicate
that the Clinchfield Railway cam
not handle all of the shipping
load at this time. The majority of
the miners are not much enthus-
ed over the activity. They feel
that a surplus of coal is being
put above ground before July l,
and that this means long work
stoppage while a contract is be-
ing made.

Something New Found
In Woman's Purse

A rock in Woman's purse
makes good weapon. Mrs. Ro-
berta Lane Stanley made that
discovery to her sorrow Monday
morning in the hall of the court
house. Mrs. Healcy Honaker al
ready knew it, for she welded
the weapon on Mrs. Stanley. The
women got into a quarrel on one
of the many subjects on which
the ladies wrangle. One word led
to another, and another led to a
sock with the rock.
Mrs. SANKEY'S head was laid
open and required four clamps at
a local hospital to put it together
again.
That was not enough, apparent
ly, for she came back to the court
house. There the quarrel broke
out again. The ever alert "Hawk
eye" Mullins prevented further
mayhem, and possibly slaughter.

like women to the clink. They be
came roommates there and growl
ed so much about the accommo-
dations that they forgot their Ill
feelings toward each other.

European Travel Costs Still Speculative

What will be the effect of Eu-
ropes currency devaluation on
tourists? It will induce more
Americans to go abroad; also
travel will cost less.
Yes. but how much less? That
is one question uppermost IN the
minds of tourists. Those who to-
day direct this query to local ex-
perts for an answer, however, can
get little more than speculation,
if that. The devaluation an
nouncement from London early
last week. which touched OF q
chain reaction over the world, Is
too recent for even tourism policy
makers to gauge.
Eventual decisions will be noted
in the press or will filter down tc
local steamship offices. trans
Atlantic airline executives ano
travel agents, then to the public
A clear picture of actual costs
might not shape up until we'll into
1850.
One Of the first groups to act
the International Air Transport
Association. passed along a fare
reduction of 80 per cent to dollar
paying passengers for flights with
in Europe, but preserved trans
Atlantic air fares at current dollar
levels.
Speculative Views - Meanwhile
here is some of the speculation
going the rounds:
It would be foolish for Ameri-
cans to believe they will get the
full 80 per cent money bargain
in their travels.
Transatlantic steamship fares
are likely to remain at their nor
NAL postwar level. In other words
the American will pay the same
number of dollars for the same
accommodations next year.
1t is barely possible that peak
season (summeD airline fares
across the Atlantic might be cut
at a future meeting of 1ATA.
Hotels in Europe will not raise
their room charges drastically.
The check for meals will be
higher, either through raising the
ceilings, where they exist, or by
higher cover charges and extras
y X II
How Much Saving?-Am Among
those who allow themselves to talk
their thoughts. there seems to be
agreement that dollar cost oi
pleasure travel facilities generally
will go down and devalued cur
rency prices will go up. Where
they will meet is the question
The saving on a European toul
next year, compared to the past
summer, is likely to be nearer II
per cent than 80, and the saving
estimate of as low as 10 per cent
has been mentioned. This last
figure presumes. certainly. that

ton Of about one-third in plane
prices goes into effect automati-
cally on October l. It is the off,
season excursion rates Of last year
being instituted again. All major
air lines flying the Atlantic joined
in the 60-day excursion plan. De-
partures are permitted up to
March 81, but trips must be COM
pleted by April 80.
The intra- Europe fare decision
by IATA indicates the American
dollar will buy greater distances
and better facilities on trains,
buses and steamships operating
within the confines Of the Old
World. Decisions should come
through shortly.
English Prices-Unless England
raises prices or devises an extern
sive system Of extra charges, here
is part Of the picture in dollar
bargains:
Meals bear a ceiling price Of
shillings. Before devaluation that
was equivalent to 81. Now it is
equivalent to about 10 American
cents.
The cost of accommodation at
de luxe London hotels-formerly
about the same as New York
dropped about 80 per cent below
the cost Of luxury accommodation
In New York.
Modern but modest British
hotel rooms, which previously cost
from 50 to 81 per day, now are
obtainable from 81 to So per day.
Room and board at small coun-
try hotels, formerly costing the
equivalent of $25 per week. in
cluding meals, now will cost about
$17.50 per week.
The 400-mile coach trip by rail
from London to Edinburgh now
will be about $14, as compared
with the former $40.
Rental of a small British car
for a week will be down SIS to
about $35 and the average cost
per day Of motor coach tours, in
cluding meals, will be down from
$40 to about 81.
