dered his resignation to the Gar
rett County Board of Education as
! an instructor in the field of Biology
at Southern High school, it was an
nounced. Mr.. Mckenzie was a mem
Der of the teaching staff in the
county for one year. He returned
to his home community in West
Virginia where he and his wife
were both able to secure employ
ment.
Mr.. Mckenzie will be replaced
by Harold Miller biology instruc-
tor for the past several years in
the Terra Alta High school, Terra

total of Is years teaching expert
ence and holds his Masters degree

fine record as classroom teacher,
according to Willard L. Hawkins
county superintendent of schools.
No Vacancies AS Of This Date
According to a statement of the
Superintendent of Schools, no va
cancies exist in the county schools
as of the present date. He said the
school board expects a few scat
tered vacancies during the month
of July and early August but feels
that for the next few weeks in most
subject areas, competent replace
ments will be available. Mr.. HaW-
kins stated that the board of ed
ucation feels that it has been eX-
tremely fortunate in the calibre of
| teachers it has been able to secure
to replace the relatively small
number who resigned this year or
where an increase in personnel was
needed
Three additional teachers will be
on the staff at Southern, one at
Northern, one at Grantsville, three
at Kitzmiller, and one at Blooming
ton, or a total of nine, For these
additions and requirements due to
teacher turnover total of twenty
five teachers have been employed
to date. OF this number all have
their Bachelors degrees and fifty
percent of them have their Masters
degrees Only seven OF the twenty
five will enter the classroom for
the first time in September. The
rest have had varying number of
years Of experience.

Board of Education
Pushes Maintenance
Program for Schools

The Board Of Education is push
ing to completion at the present
time one of the most extensive
maintenance, painting and cleanup
programs in the elementary schools
that has been undertaken in the
county for a number of years. The
work is in charge of O. T. eraser,
supervisor of maintenance.
The Board of Education, at its
last meeting, approved three-year
rotating program of maintenance
for all schools, but due to the con-
dition of the elementary schools,
an effort was made to step up the
number of schools slated for paint
ing and renovating this summer.
Plans for the Kitzmiller improve
ments are ready for bids and the
contract is scheduled to be awarded
August 2. The Accident school will
be completed by the time school
opens to complete the improvement
program.
Working with crew of ten men,
all regular school custodians, Mr..
eraser reported that the following
jobs already have been completed;
Finzel, painted and repairs, inside
and out; Johnson, painted and re-
pairs, inside and out; Yoder, painted
outside, repairs; Bittinger, painted
inside, repairs; North Glade,
painted and repairs, inside and out;
Crellin, painted and repairs, inside
and out; Mt. Zion, painted and re-
pairs, outside.
Nine other jobs are scheduled
for completion, asphalt tile floors
in the first floor at both Crellin and
Red House, painting and repairs
inside and out at both Loeb Lynn
and Deer Park; painting and re-
pairs, inside and out at both Loeb
Lynn and Deer Park; painting and
repairs, outside at Kitzmiller; i'm
proved lighting at Red House,
painting and repairs, inside and
out at SWanton, additional room in
annex building renovated for an
other elementary classroom this
fall, and sound proofing the band
room at Southern.
Willard L. Hawkins, county SUI
perintendent of schools, stated that
later in the summer the county
maintenance crew would spend
some time laying tile floors and
painting in the Accident school. He
explained this work was over and
above the contract with Edgar 7.
Hardesty for additions and altera-
tions now underway. Plans call for
a complete renovation Of the interi-
or of this building to make it ade-
quate for a modern elementary
school educational program. Open
House is scheduled there for Sun
day, September 4, to 5 p. m.
The plans for the renovation and
! improvements at kitzmiller have
been offered for bids with the con-
tract expected to be awarded the
low bidder August 2. When com
pleted these improvements will
also offer adequate facilities for a
community school for grades one
through eight.
In addition Mr. Hawkins pointed
out there were many other items
of maintenance neceSsitating time,
money and labor during the sum-
mer. Each of the two new high
schools is to be given thorough
cleaning floors scrubbed and
waxed, furniture cleaned and re-
paired, finger prints removed and
repairs made. At least 20 new bus
shelters are constructed to replace
some of the 300 now scattered
throughout the county; cesspools
must be cleaned, furniture moved
from place to place, lawns kept

10 other statutory authorities
permit or require the establish
ment OF additional positions in
an approved plan operating in
these three highest grades. The
Classification Act limitation cou-
pied with this complex array of
other authorizations seriously
hampers our ability to meet the
changing needs of the Govern
ment. These conditions prevent
sound pay administration and
handicap the Federal service in
recruiting and retaining top-leyel
personnel. Therefore, I am rec
ommending the removal of this
ceiling. and urge the consollda-
ton Of all existing authorities.

This contributory system has
been designed to meet the re-
quirements Of the Federal service
and to take into account the
experience Of private employers.
The system would permit ern-
ployes to choose either q stand

ments provided for Classification
Act employees at similar levels.
For Classification Act en-
ployes the recommended pay
adjustments would add an addi-
tional 1902 million or approxi-
mately S per cent to present
payroll costs. Even though the
correction OF inequities in the
middle and upper pay levels Is
a primary objective of the Clas-
sification Act pay adjustments,
ass per cent Of the cost results
from additional pay proposed for
the lowest five grades. Only As
per cent will be applied in the
highest five grades. The proposed
pay schedules are presented in
an appendix to this message.
Proposed changes for employees
subject to the Foreign Service
Act and those in the Department
of Medicine and Surgery of the
Veterans Administration. which
are incorporated In the compre-.
hensive proposal. will add ap-
proximately $8.5 million to the
cost, making the overall total
approximately $2l0 million.
The Classification Act Of 1949,
as amended. sets a ceiling on the
number Of positions that can be
placed In grades 16. II and Is.

The per diem allowance Of

as amended.
In a separate message sub
mitted to the Congress today.
! am recommending appropriate
pay adjustments covering en-
ployes Of the Postal Field Serv-
ice.
The recommended changes for
the Classification Act group pro-
vide for an upward adjustment
of pay rates for each grade, ex-
cept that no change is recon-
mended at this time In the cell
ing pay rate Of $4,000. Emphasis
is placed upon q greater and
more meaningful differential be-
tween pay scales Of successive
grades. The proposal recognizes
the fact that, In general. com
pensation rates In the lower
grades Of the Classification Act
are fairly well in line with those
prevailing outside the Federal
Government while rates i in the
middle and upper grades have
Jagged behind.
Insofar as possible, adjust
ments in the Foreign Service and
Veterans Administration pay
schedules should parallel the
dollar amounts of pay adjust
