Teachers Salaries
Problem

Supt. Gold pointed out another
feature of the law which works a
hardship on the trustees. This is
the requirement that teachers be
elected by April LIST and their
salary set, while the final budget
is not set till about three months
later.
For several years the Montana
Education Association worked to
get school boards throughout
Montana to adopt a definite sal
airy schedule known as the MEA
schedule so that teachers would
receive proper recognition for
their training and teaching ex-
perience. The Browning school
board was one of the first to &C.
cept his salary schedule and
Browning teachers h ave been
paid upon this schedule for some
years.
The schedule, however. was
made up when a dollar has much
greater purchasing power than it
has now and most schools in the
state have had to pay bonuses
over and above the schedule to
get competent teachers. Brown
ing fell in line and paid a cost
of-living" bonus to all tow n
teachers last year. For a few
years during and after the war
men teachers were h a r. to get
and twas necessary in many
schools to offer even further in
ducements to men whose services
, were n eeded in the schools.
Browning was no exception to this
and such advances over the
scale were made as were needed
to secure the teachers needed.
It appears now that there will
not be enough money next year
to make t h e Browning salaries
conform to all the points listed
above and the local trustees and
| superintendent have been making
!: a careful study to determine
what amounts should be pa d.
The trustees are unwilling tt
abandon the basic MEA scale anc
have already offered contracts tt
| all teachers who desired to re
); main in Browning on the basis Of
this schedule. The trustees have
also inserted in the contracts of

Grazing Lease
Fees Being Paid
To Blackfeet

Beginning today. annual fees
for rent of reservation land for
grazing purposes is being paid
members of the Blackfeet Tribe
at the Agency administration
building.
The total is understood to be
considerable. Small fractional
portions, however, because of
the legal process of inheritance
over the years will yield some
owners only paltry sums. Own
ers of large acreages will be paid
substantial sums.

The Chiefs ear for ne W S
caught whisperings on sire e t
corn ers that the local school
b oard is struggling at present
with the problem of teachers
salaries and t h a t apparently
there is not enough money in the
budget to pay everybody as much
as he wants. We approached
some of the board members to
see if the matter W as one for
publication and found them very
cooperative and anxious that full
publicity be given any or all of
the business transacted by the
board in its meetings.
AS one member aptly said: Its
the public's money and they have
a right to know how we are
spending it for them. The clerk

! duced the following facts:
The 18th Montana legislative
assembly revamped the entire
plan of school finance for publit
schools so that the budget powe,
of a school district NOW depends
entirely upon the number of day:
pupils attend the school.
Supt. Gold has explained thai
this possibly works a hardship OF
the local c h ools as the at

spite of vigorous enforcement
efforts, are among the lowest il

depend upon the size of tn
schools. In Browning the trus

proximately a $3.50 for each da.
a high school student belongs.
The trustees are permitted
some percentage excuses owe
these amounts if they can Sc

Many women today are slightly
puzzled about what happened to
them during the summer months.
They did not realize just what
differences had taken place until
they got clothes out of moth balls
and tried them on, or in some
instances tried to get them on.
Five or six pounds. or an inch
or so added to the waistline or
the hips can make a big differ
ence in the way last years chic
model looks today.
Another thing which may startle
women is the fact that the sun
tan which looked so well with
summer whites and pastels may
now look yellow and slightly sal
low in the fall sunshine and with
fall costume colors. I have writ
ten quite a lot lately to help
you bleach out. Today I want
to give you a couple of exercises;
one for waist slimming and one
for hip reduction.
Here is one for the waist: Stand
erect with the arms raised upward
overhead. Step forward with the
left foot. Keep the feet in this
position as you bend forward, try
ing to touch the fingers to the
left foot. Raise the trunk and
arms and pull back to the right.
Do this several times. Now place
the right foot ahead of the left.
Bend forward, touching the fin
gers to the right foot and then
raise the trunk and arms, pulling
back to the left. Continue.
For the hips: Lie on the floor
on your back, arms resting on
the floor out from your sides.
Bend both knees and place your
feet on the floor. If you wish to
reduce the lower hip line or the
thighs, raise the heels from the
floor, keeping the toes on the

Be sure the armholes accommo-
date suits with room to spare. In
spect the shoulder span across
the back and get an expert to
eliminate the slightest wrinkle.
Large order? You bet, but
there's more! To keep it off the
discard heap for several seasons,
a coat must be trend-worthy. For
instance, you would err in buying
a tent-type coat when the Amer
lean fashion trend is toward the
narrow silhouette.
Late trends: Untrimmed coats
are loose but narrow with fiat
fronts. a ripple in the back, deep
armholes and large collars.
Double breasted REFERS are creep
ing up-mighty trim for the slim!
Every silhouette features more
fur. It's often dyed to match the

States for the same model. We
ordered an English car in Wash
ington and picked it up in Lon
don, no purchase tax that way.
Summer in London can be very
hot, so you will use the beautiful
beaches along the South Coast.
I hope you will enjoy your stay
as much as I enjoyed coming
home.

Secrets of Charm
Secrets of Charm
Coat Choice Important
By John Robert Powers

How much should you spend on
a winter coat? Unless you have
an unlimited budget, my experts
who have shopped the fall market
say you should allot no less than
one third of your entire seasons
clothing allowance for this most
important Of all wardrobe items.
Statistics show that most
women do not spend quite that
much on coats. I suspect that some
girls skimp on a coat to allow for
an extra dress or extraneous gee
gaw. That's a mistake that's never
made by the woman who is always
well dressed, for when the fashion
smarty knows she must buy a new
coat. she plans carefully to re-
strict all her other purchases in
order to get the best one possible.
Her coat is the handsome one you
see whizzing by!
And in a coat, handsome is as
handsome does. You have right
to expect a great deal Of its behav-
ior. The fabric should provide
maximum warmth, long wear; it
should not muss easily and should
never sag. The lining and inter-
lining must measure up; points to
check are at the hem, cuffs, arm
holes and neck.
Good workmanship pledges gen.
erous seams. a deep hem, and
sturdy buttonholes. Quality skins
guarantee the looks and life of a
ur-trimmed coat. II your budget
won't afford a fine skin, skip it..
There's greater smartness, value
and wear in a sterling. untrimmed
coat with a custom fit.
The success of even the best of
coats depends on the fit. It's up to
you to see that the proper adjust
ments are properly made. On a
full-length coat, have the hem
turned to cover your longest dress.

fabric and is especially handsome
when so handled for lining tweed

completely reversible styles that
turn into velvet "after-f1ves. In

is dry. add more-if very wet. use
less cream.) Ideally, the corn
should look like thick curdled
cream when you get it off the ear.

To Mrs. r. N. L.: You are in

is one that ] do not approve Of.
You mention "The chicken bones
make a tummy busting meal for
a cat" Don't you know that
chicken bones can kill an animal
and it will be a tummy busting
meal for good? Chicken bones
splinter and can puncture an ami
mails intestines and the animal
can die a painful death. There
fore I hope if you like your cat
and this goes for other animal
lovers they will not save on their
food by giving them chicken
bones. Since chicken backs are
so cheap it wouldn't hurt to give
a poor cat a treat and give him O
bit of the chicken.

Add milk to make dough stiff
enough to roll slowly of spoon.
Have grease very hot but not
smoking and about 11a inches
deep. Drop heaping teaspoon or
u tablespoon of dough in the
grease at a time. When it is
brown on the under side, it usu-
ally will turn over. Let both
sides be well Drowned. Drain
grease off well when taken out.
Place on absorbent paper tempo
rarily for this.
If properly done, there will be
no grease in the hush puppy;
small quantity of finely chopped
onion adds flavor. Also, finely
broken up crisp bacon does same.
Buttermilk and soda can be used
in place of sweet milk and bak-
ing powder.
