Teacher Shortage
In Georgia
Is Desperate

Atlanta, Ga.-tAtlasl Governor
Herman Telmadge ignored the
teachers shortage crisis for long
time, but it became so acute, he
has been forced to call a special
session Of the Legislature this
week to cope with the emergency
by raising taxes.
With this in mind, he commits
STONED officials to go out and dig
UP the facts on just what the
school picture is now.
The survey showed. for exam
pie. that the average teacher in
Georgia is paid only 1882 year
whereas the average teachers for
all the state bordering Georgia
Is $2,l72. This naturally makes it
hard for Georgia to shop around
for teachers.
Some of the counties are short |
rs many as % teachers, and the
danger is that many of the coun-
ties are bankrupt and have no
money to pay the teachers they
have. notwithstanding the fact that
the children, who are in dire need
of education, must suffer because
of this condition.
The survey shows that the State

Canada Looking For American Vets
WASHINGTON, (R-Canada is

WASHINGTON, R)-Canada is looking for "a few thousand" Americans who served in Canadi- an armed forces. It wants to give them the benefits to which they are entitled, including cash.
 The Canadian department of veterans affairs has asked the aid of the veterans administration in trying to locate those who have not been paid.
 The Canadians say that "a very large number" of Americans have been paid and Canada wants to clear up the balance.
 Every veteran of the Canadian forces is entitled to a war service gratuity and a re-eStablishment credit. The gratuity is $7.5O for each 30 days service in the west ern hemisphere and $l5 for. each 30 days service overseas. The re- establishment credit, about equal to the gratuity, may be used by veterans outside Canada only for veterans insurance.
