Three School Bills
Will Get Action
From Legislature

Three school bills will be pre-
sented to the regular session of
the Legislature early next week
which, if passed, will be of inn
portance to the State and to Gar
rett county schools in particular.
These bills are:
/. Senate Bill $40 providing for
the doubling of the incentive fund
for school buildings.
,. A bill to place all teachers
under Social Security along with
other State employees.
3. A bill to increase the salaries
of all teachers $500 annually.
The Senate Bill $40 was passed
by the Legislature last year with
but one dissenting vote. 1t was sup
ported by Senator Clifford Friend
and all three Garrett county dele
gates. This bill, however, was
vetoed by Governor McKeldm. BY
law this vetoed bill must be one of
the first measures to be acted upon
by the Legislature this week. If
passed, it would mean approx
mately $4,000 per year for Gar
rett county, with not one cent hav-
ing to be put up by the county. The
$4,000 that Garrett county would
receive annually would enable the
county, if authorized by the Legis-
lature to do so, to borrow enough
money to build a new II room ele-
mentary school at Oakland, a new
seven or eight room school on Ri.
40 for the pupils in the Finzcl-
Johnson-Avilton area and an audi
forum for each of the high schools,
according to Willard Hawkins,
county superintendent Of schools.
This building program has been
unanimously approved by the
School Board and has the indorse-
ment Of the County Commissions
ers and many parent groups. 1t
would complete the school building
needs of any consequence in Gar
rett county within the forcsccable
future. The total program would be
financed entirely from State funds
and would not in any way affect
the county tax rate, it was cx-
planned.
The Social Security program has
len requested by the teachers of
he State to supplement their in
dequate retirement system. If
assed, it will be in addition to the
ocular retirement system now in
Xistence for teachers.
The teacher salary bill is in keep
II with increasing costs of living
md rising incomes in nearly all in
lustrial, business, and professional
occupations. The shortage of quail
fled teachers remains critical
across the state and nation. College
graduates are going into industry
and business rather than teaching,
due to the difference in financial
opportunities, Mr. Hawkins pointed
out that Garrett county shares
heavily in State school equalization
money and he said the teacher sal
AIRY raise would be of tremendous
help toward keeping many of the
good teachers as we'll as to cncour-
age other competent teachers to
come here to fill vacancies. The
quality and competence of our class
room teachers will in the final
analysis determine the extent of
+, progress the schools will make, he
also said.
"Thc teaching profession must
be made financially attractive to
our young, talented, and capable
college graduates if our schools of
the future are to fulfill the obi
CATION imposed upon them" he con-
Guided.

POST OFFICEl BE ALERTEDi We have it from a special cores pondent in Southeastern Alaska that, genial Jim Brightman of the Kodiak Outfitters bought radio time during the recent basketball games at Ketchikan to advertise his wares. There may be an onrush of mail orders coming in any time now. The correspondent said, 1t was "a typical Brightman opera tion."

 Just when the Bank of Kodiak announced the payment of a ten cent premium on every hundred pennies brought into the bank, the paper boy who always paid us us for his weekly supply of papers in pennies left. Looks like "Torgie" is getting ready for the sales tax.
 
 For the benefit of those who just read the Mirror, and we hope the tribe increases, quotations were made on the front page of main land paper, as well ass in the Bank of Kodiak ad, from Sfasf Melson's famed B &.

 It looks like the Spring breakup is here in Kodiak The tons of ice you see back of Kraft's store float ed in from Women'S Bay at the Naval Station. Old-time residents say they haven't seen anything like 1t since they were children. Until we got our eyes open Thurs day we thought we were up at Pt. Barrow. A combination of wind and tide shifted it from English Bay, past islands and reefs to its present location. No, the co cut ter or Navy tugs didn't haul it there.
 Ice in the bay here has raised a friendly argument. There are many old residents who say this is the most ice seen since the days they used to walk across the channel to Near Island Others have pictures to SubStantiate their contention that there was more ice in 1947. What do you think?

 Do you want to cut the cost of driving your car, All you have to do is drive it more A study of American Automobile Association figures on the cost of car opera tion show that the more an auto is driven the cheaper it gets by the mile. The reason is that de- preciation costs, insurance and li- cense fees remain virtually the same if car is driven one mile or thousands. These fees account for nearly fifty per cent of the cost of operating car. For fami- ly of three the cost is 5.2 cents if the car is driven 5000 miles a year. If the mileage is increased to 15,000 year the cost per mile for each member of the family is 2.5 cents mile-less than half. The moral is: Don't put off that trip to Chiniak, Passagshak or Larsen's Bay any longer. Even a trip to Fort Abercrombie will help whittle the cost down.

If schools were integrated"
He is graspinE at the shadows

we ask, does the good gentleman
know that 10000 Negroes would
lose theN jobs? And why prog
nOSticate disastrous resultS?-did
not the emancipated slave-thuugh
not precared-adJust himself to

ton?
We s-y 10 Archbishop Addison,
and others who hold such dismal
views of fear, there is only one
practical remedy. That remedy is
faith in the Brightness of our cause
to stabilize our courage and ban
ish fear.
What, we ask, prevents people
from rising 10 heights to which
they aspire? What holds them
back when they are trying deS-
perately to go forward? We can
tell the Archbishop; very often it
is not outside forces, but inside
conditions, such as the stand he
is taking that keep group from
making progress.
But thank God, a strong, in
telligent, cooperative group such
as the NAACP is almost indie
structible by any forces outside
it, and its record for the past 81
years hardly gives it cause for
alarm from fears within.
No, Archbishop Addison, you
have the wrong slant. All avail
able means should be used to
clear away the cobwebs of pre-
JUDGE and open the eyes of the
people to the fact that they must
cherish their individual dignity.
Subscribing to plan of segrega-
ton is not the way out.
We are satisfied that the Ne
gro newspaper is still the most
important medium to reach, inn
press and sell the Negro the i'm
portant plan by which his rights
will be won; and we are also sat-
isfied that the NAACP has placed
at the hands of Negro people
one of the greatest legal arsenals
in America today, and as a re-
suit persons who are comforta-
Dly situated must now life them
selves above their own content

II would be- almost distressing
in times like these to hear Of
such utterances coming from a
leader OF any segnent of the Ne
gro group, were !. it not for the
fact that the NAACP and affili-
..ated organizs tons are not as vul-
nerable as he seems to believe
and too, the Negro today is not
as gullible as the tenor Of the
Arch bishops statements would
suggest.
We have no quarrel with this
pro-segregationisty snor any of his
ilk, for in "a democracy each man
is entitled 10 express his convic-
ton; but We fail niserably to
conceive of any Negro of sane
and sober mind subscribing to
such beliefs after SO years of life
in system as vicious as segre-
cation.
Or can it possibly be that the
arch bishop does not fully under
stand what segregation really
implies in all its ramificationS?
We seriously wonder if this de-
fender of segregation has taken
into consideration the origin of
segregation and the evils it desires
to perpetuate.
Addison claims to have about
5000 members in his church
which was started in 1925. 1t is
good to note that IN % years he
has not been able to indoctrinate
a much larger number. This is
conclusive proof that his line of
reasoning holds no lucrative flu
ture outlook for the people he
processes to be leading.
We wonder if it ever occurred
TO Addison that segregation is an
outgroWth of the slave system
and the habits of thinking and be-
haviour which 1t fastened upon
master and slave sliSe? As we
understand it the pattern of re-
lationShips between master ana
slave excluded the least possible
contact between them and was
motiNeted by "the principle that
a slave was inferior as human
being and could claim Moth
ing as a right or privilege" This
embodies the spirit of segregation
and anyone who defends it de-
tends the system out of which 1t
sprsng. The practice of segrega-
ton runs the gGmut Of the indig-
nifty and injustice of discrimina-
ton in all areas of society.
The chief aim of the system Of
segregation has been to stamp up
on the minds, nay, upon the very
soul of Negroes the belief in and
the acceptance of inferiority. 1t
seeks a general order under
(which all Negroes are placed
under white people and excluded
not only from the white mans
society and also from the ordi-
nary symbols of respect. 1t says
in short, mo Negro shall ever
aspire to them, and no white man
shall be allowed to offer them. Z"
This is the system of relations
Mr.. Addison chooses to defend.
To assume such an attitude or
take such a stand in these hours
of stress, when problems appear
greater than solutions, is fearful
defeatism. The Archbishop builds
his case against the NAACP and
the Urban League around the trit
statement that they believe that

Brooklyn baseball team is more
