Promotions such as bargain

ETC., are well-worn but still prove eff
fective for other communities so Tabor
City should be no exception. The one
thing that makes these promotions
successful is full cooperation from
every merchant.

One Reason For Teacher Shoriaue

in order. This extra day is also with
out pay.
We haven't sharpened our hat
chefs for any scalping party but we
appreciate school teachers enough To
take offense at the childish treatment
offered them on occasions.
For example, we still haven't
found any justification for withhold
ing their final paychecks last week.
Instead of paying them on the goth
teaching day, their checks were held
until the following day when thev
returned to schoo, and completed their
reports.
We realize the necessity for filing
accurate reports and think he
teacher should be on hand to elimin-
ate the necessity of the principal
shouldering the entire burden of
searching for a misplaced attendance
average. AT the same time we feel
that the teachers deserve more respect
than was indicated by the withhold
ing of checks. Since the extra hours
spent checking records were without
compensation, teachers deserved pat
on the back instead of a slap in the
face.
We doubt if anyone suffered un-
due hardships because of the one-day
check delay but principles are more
important than dollars AMI cents.
Whether this situation was state
wide or not has no bearing on the
conclusion that so long as such poll
cies are maintained the shortage of
school teachers will remain fairly con-
slant. III

CAREERS
/GNIlN
BY w. Horace Carter

Albert Goldfinch gave me a
trinket the other day that
should be a real money saver,
but SO far il just isn't doing
me any good. the gadget Is
fastened ON to the telephone
and Is n plastic contraption
with two cavities inside. One
is filled with sand and when
you change ends with il. the
sand runs out to the other end
In just exactly three minutes.
The whole idea is to set IL in
motion when you start a long
distance telephone conversa-
ton. and then just before il
stops flowing sand. you stop
talking and thus save money.
But in the couple of weeks
we have had this thing. il
seems that every time the sand
ncars the end. I'm right In the
middle of what appears to be
an important subject and you
just can't holler out Goodbye,
the sands run out. I'll see
you" But I'm getting in prac-
tice for shorter long distance
calls and perhaps the very psy-
cholOgy of having this time
saver around will help a little
over the course OF the month.
Apparently Goldfinch found
the gadget of no assistance or
he wouldn't have just nom
chantiy given il 10 me merely
because I passed a remark that
1 would like to have one. He
probably was having the same
trouble of being caught In the
middle of a sentence when the
time saver indicated II was
time to quit being SO long
winded.
Anyhow, around the office
here we have all taken a look
at the trinket, and we are de-

distance conversation some
time in the scheduled three
minutes.
You know If they would put
gadgets like this on the house
wives telephones, il sure
would make party lines more
attractive. OF course. the
housewives would just keep
them turning over and over to
see just how many sand pour
ings they could talk through.
But If they get them geared up
some way so that when the
sands out, the phone lines go
dead, then a lot less "hen con-
versatiOns" would be passed
along from house to house.
But 1 guess we sound kind
of cosby too. At least we are
having a hard time finishing
any conversation in three
minutes.

Editorials .

A general shortage of school
teachers continues to plague our pub
lie education system and signs are
few and far between that the condi-
lions will get any better.
Teachers are still being lured away
from the classroom into other Jobs
where material benefits outweigh the
Intangible reward offered for con-
trlbuting to the education of future
generations.
We take no stock in the theory
that school teachers are highly paid;
that they work only eight hours a
day; that they have an easy job. Those
who stick with the profession know
that in order to make those 40 class
room hours success each week then
extra hours must be spent in prepara-
ton of assignments.
One of the most disappointing as
poets of teaching is the obvious lack
of faith in teachers displayed by some
of the higher officials in the public
education system.
Teachers are paid on the basis Of
working days with checks being issued
on each goth school day. There is no
payment for holidays or days when
SHOOT is dismissed in order that
teachers might attend full length
teachers meetings in other cities. Days
proceeding the opening semester are
usually working days for teachers but
there is no monetary compensation
allotted for this work. At the compile
ton of the school year teachers or
dinarily spend an extra day making

HIS HOMER GETS 1T ALL

Al Williams said few weeks ago that he wouldn't
run for Mayor because f there is honor in it think
I've had it and if there is any cussing then know
I've had it,
s. by virtue of the boss holding the Mayors post for
the past two years I've had first class lesson in what
a mayor must face.
Probably the most obnoxious part of the role is
Mayors Court. On court day the mayor has no rest
or time for his personal business with a stream of
visitors wanting to air their ahead of schedule
There isn't any way the mayor can win when he
acts as Judge Even those who plead guilty take offense
and think that they should have been turned loose
ovithout paying the penalty.
When the the street observed that people
with political aspirations should avoid the mayorship
1t seems that he knew what he talking about.
