Even as the last carefree young
ster romps home from school to
begin his summer vacation, super
intendents of education in Mary
lands poorer counties will have
begun a lively scramble to fill
teaching vacancies.
"This summer it's really going
to be dog eat dog" one OF the
educators frankly admitted.
The prediction came from w.
Theodore Boston, Dorc HI ste r
County superintendent. His prob
lem is typical among superin-
Itendents in the smaller counties
The teaching shortage is an old
problem, but school officials feel
lit has become more acute since
Gov. McKeldin vetoed bill to
increase teachers salaries $500 a
year.
When the veto was announced,
many a county superintendent
reached for the aspirin.
Put Up to Counties.
The Governor explained the
State cannot afford to increase
teachers pay and said he felt the
counties should put the necessary
boosts into effect on their own
hook.
At least nine of the % counties
already have done so, and others
are thinking along the same lines.
The competitive salary problem
within the State complicates an
already difficult situation brought
on by salary increases in nearby
States.
West Virginia's Legislature re-
Gently approved a $40 annual in
crease. raising its minimum to
$2,340. Mr.. Boston said he ex-
poets to feel the effect of this even
i'm Dorchester County. all the way
across Maryland over on the East
ern Shore.
"We have eight teachers from
West Virginia." he noted, "and I
guess well lose three or four back. I"
But the real competition, he de-
clared, will come from within the
State.
Minimum Set by Law.
The salary scale in Dorchester is
the minimum set by State law
200 to start and an annual in
crease of $40 for Is years, which
puts the top minimum at $500.
This is for teachers with bachelor
of arts degrees and no experience.
Compare this with the $4,000 to
$5,400 scale prevailing in Balti-
more County and you see why the
poorer counties are worried.
Among the Southern Maryland
counties, there is Anne Arundel,
with 102 open posts in a staff of
GAS. Despite a recent 5000 in
crease which brought the annual
minimum to $2,400 to $4,000. au-
thorities there are not optimistic
about their chances Of obtaining
enough replacements.
Besides Dorchester, the $4,000
to $4,000 minimum is still main

Mountain Boy Steals the Show
AT Last Confederate Reunion
Veteran Sailing l04,
Puuses in Anecdotes
Only for Whisky
D.. &C.,. K...a1,
BY George Kennedy
s,or ssoff Correspondent

NORFOLK, Va. June LA boy
from Scott County in the noun
tains of Southwest Virginia, who
never managed to acquire uni
form in the Civil War, is stealing
the spotlight in the final reunion
of the. United Confederate Vet
Grams in PROCESS here.
John Sailing of Slant, Va. who
now is 104 and is the latest
among the three veterans OF the
Civil War to arrive here. is run
ming away with the show.
John didn't manage to get a
uniform during the war-"They
were all gone when ! got in" He
dug saltpeter in 1864 to enable
the Confederate forces to make
gunpowder.
He has a uniform now. He was
inserted into a costumer'S tunic
and trousers of gray plus a red
sash after his finger nails had
been polished by a pretty mani
curist while a barber was giving
him a hair cut and a shave in
hotel room.
John is not a show-off. He is
just talker. He has been talk
ing since he arrived Wednesday
might and nobody wants to shut
him up.
Two Others Out Talked.
The two other veterans of
Americas most tragic conflict
brought here by the Norfolk Asso-
citation of Commerce have not
been listening to John. They are
William Joshua Bush of Fitz-
gerald, Ca. and William Town
send of Ola, La. both are los.
They probably have mixed feelings
over the fact that reporters and
photographers are no longer fol-
lowing them, and relief is only
one Of the ingredients in the mix
ture. They probably are feeling
a bit neglected.
Mr.. Sailing is terrific. He hasn't
got a gray hair in his head or a
bit OF caution in his makeup
Much of his talk is about the
amount of liquor everyone used
to put away in the hill country
when he was younger.
His Wallets, a lawyer. a veter-
mary surgeon and an editor, ask
him if he doesn't want to lie down.
He says:
mo thanks, the way I figure,
the more you stir, the better of
you are"
Asked about his longevity, he
says:
mo worry, hard work and a
lot Of liquor"
Tales Have Frontier Flavor.
His stories have the frontier
flavor Of q time when 1t was i'm
Iportant to outdrink the other
man. He tells about buying cat
tie from a man who had started
drinking at dawn. The man
didn't realize he had included his
