lived for two generations. Mr..
Stone said he took a match

about half an hour and then
told me the whole story" Mr..
Stone said.
Papa, ironically, was working
at a fire camp-on the payroll

I eochers in Nearby Areas
Ask Unified Salary Scale

the four counties is about 1000
a year. District teachers are now
paid from $4,000 to $4,000 The
minimum in Arlington and Fair
fax is $3,700; Montgomery, So
604 and Prince Georges, $4,000.
Council officials estimate that
all teachers in the four areas
would benefit by at least $500
yearly if the salary schedule is
adopted.
Total cost to taxpayers would
be about $4.2 million yearly.
The four teacher groups will
make separate appeals to their
local governing bodies and
school boards for adoption of
the unified salary scale.
The plan is in line with a
statement of Maryland's State
School Supt. Thomas j. Pullen
that teachers with A.. B. degrees

Ohio motorists, who usually go
for everything in pairs, (fog lights,
spot lights, aerials, mufflers, etc.
ad nauseam), have reversed the
trend in the use of the auto hcen-
Sc plates. Current fashion dictates
the use of only one plate, usually
on the rear.
However, Ohio law specifically
provides for the use of two plates.
one front and one rear, and the
Ohio State Highway Patrol, al
though estheticall y inclined, has
refused to bow to the dictates of
the automotive fashion world as
interpreted by local enthusiasts.
To prove their point the patrol
will take style leaders in front of
local judges, not of fashion but of
law, where the due process will de-
prive offenders of usually $40 and
costs for the first offense.
It's a cruel, cruel world.
