Suburban Teachers
Join to Raise Pay

At Monday nights school board
meeting, Eric Rhodes, executive
secretary of the Montgomery
County Education Association
continued his presentation of the
united teacher salary scale of
$40O0-$7000 for teachers with ALB
degrees proposed for the four
suburban counties in the metro.
politan area.
This unprecedented effort of
the teachers in Arlington, Fair.
fax, Prince Georges and Mont.
gomery was revealed last week.
The Montgomery association,
Mr.. Rhodes said Monday, had
voted to recommend in addition
to the ABB teachers scale, a $40O
differential for teachers with
masters degrees; establishing a
differential for school counselors;
substantial increases for admin.
istrative personnel, principles,
supervisors and pupil personnel
workers; and increasing the sec.
retarial salaries up to the county
level.
At this time, also, the MEGA
is reaffirming its principal of
basing all professional salaries on
the basic teacher salary schedule,
Mr.. Rhodes said.
Following a question and an
swer period by the board on the
salary recommendations, Irving
M. Shelter, chairman of the
MCEA's socio-economic commit
tee reported that after a detailed
study the committee had voted
to oppose extra pay for extra re-
sponsibility for teachers who al.
SO act as coaches, refresher
teachers, or sponsors of news.

er activities outside the regular
classroom.
Superintendent Forbes Norris
who is recommending extra pay
for coaches in particular asked
If the committee had considered
as a way of rewarding outstand
ing teachers, extra job assign.
ments with extra pay.
Members of the MEGA stress.
ed the point that their opposition
was only until all teachers had
been given an adequate salary
scale and that they would con
tinue to study any proposals
from the school board or admin
istrative staff.
The school board indicated that
1t would take up the MCEA's
salary recommendations in its
57'5S budget discussions under
way now.
The united goal was reached
through the Washington Area
Council of Public School Educa
ton Associations which is made
up OF the presidents and the re
search chairmen of each associa
ton and represents nearly 1000
teachers.
The agreement came as an an
swer to a demand from civi,
groups and governmental agen
cies to unity the teacher salary
standards in the Greater Wash
ington area.

First Derby Fish
To Be Stocked At
Water Works Friday

Over a quarter-ton of number two
Lake Erie pickerel, walleyes and
perch will be stocked in the Water
Works by Friday evening, and pos
sibly tonight, Thursday, it has been
announced by John Gilbert, president
of the Bluffton Community Sports
mems club, which holds fishing rights
to the quarry.
A telephone call Tuesday night to
Turinski Fisheries on Sandusky Bay
confirmed the shipment, the first load
of fish to be stocked for the annual
Rainbow Trout Derby which opens
here Sunday, April 20. The second
load of fish from Sandusky Bay will
arrive in Bluffton within the next 10
days.
Although the Water Works is being
opened by the club to year round
fishing, Gilbert made an appeal to all
| Sportsmen club members to refrain
from fishing at the quarry until Sat-
urday of this week to permit the fish
chance to get adjusted to their new
surroundings. The number two size
fish are the best eating and will pro-
vide the club more for its money.
The fish will be transported to
Bluffton in aerating equipment and
a truck operated by the Sportsmen's
club. Robert Hursey will drive the
| truck.
Charles Steiner and Aldine Wiess,
co-chairmen of the 1856 Derby, stat
ed that all persons fishing at the
quarry must be members of the
Sportsmen's club. They will be re-
quired to display their 1856 metal
badge on an outer garment.

Robert Watkins Retires From Village
Service CrelU After 20 Years On Job

worked for the state highway de-
partment on the Dixie north of town,
has been with the village continu-
ously.
Prior to working for the village,
he cut timber for the old Bluffton
Hardwood company and others.
"The village will feel the loss of a
loyal employee like Mr.. Watkins, and
we accept his resignation with re-
gret," Mayor David Riser said this
week. Rendering the countless serv-
ices of the village to its citizens, re-
pairing the streets and sewers, col
lecting wastes and garbage, and
sexton chores at the cemetery often
seem to be thankless tasks, but
believe that our citizens appreciate
them nevertheless, and many will
tell Mr.. Watkins so," he said.
Mr.. Watkins lives at home with a
son, Boyd, and is expecting another
son, Mari, home from service with
the Army in Germany this summer
A third son, Robert Jr. is in New
Mexico. He also has three daughters
Mrs. Russell Shmerl, Chicago, Mrs
Walter Wind, Washington, ILL.,, and
Mrs. Kent Welty, Frankfort, Ind.
Mr.. Watkins expects to keep busy
painting and gardening at home, anc
later may take odd jobs to occupy
himself.

The petty cash fund was used by the
office for payment of minor items
such as freight, stamps, and small
purchases made by teachers and
employees for the schools. The fund
was discontinued on April II, 1856.
Because the superintendent had
jurisdiction over the fund, the
examiner reasoned "he should be
required to restore to the board of
education a sum equal to the amount
not supported by proof of disburs-

Jamestown Ship Copies
Christened at Celebration

PORTSMOUTH, Va, Dec. 20
(R.-Amid the pomp and cere-
mony of the 18th century. Vir-
ginia today paid tribute to It's
heritage with the christening of
full-scale copies of the three
ships which brought the settlers
to jamestown In 1907.
Mrs. Thomas B. Stanley, wife
OF Virginia's Governor; Lady
Cacia, wife Of the British AM
bassador to the United States,
and Mrs. Lewis w. Douglas, wife
of the chairman of the English
Speaking Union Of the United
States. christened the vessels by
spilling wine ito the four winds
on the forward deck.
Gov. Stanley. in a brief adj
dress. said the christening "is a
prelude to a great celebration.
which will commemorate not
only the colony of Virginia, but
also the origins of these United
States of America"
He said the originals of the
ships, the Susan Constant, the
Godspeed and the Discovery,
brought the hardy band Of
pioneers who established on the
shores of the James the first per-
manent English settlement in
the New World.
while they and their Spon-
sorS expected great things from
that expedition" Governor STAN
ley said. ut probably is accurate
to say that no one at that time
envisioned the far-reaching in
fiuence on world history Of the
adventuresome group which de-
fed the rayages Of the elements.

Sir Harold Caccia, the British
Ambassador, also gave q short
talk.
Samuel M. Bemiss of Rich
mond. president Of the Virginia
Historical Society and vice
chairman OF the Federal James,
town Williamsburg Yorktown
Celebration Commission, told the
invited guests the original ships
carried with them the genesis
of a new man and the corner-
stone of a new nation.
THE seed they planted In the
goodly Virginia soil yielded
abundantly and on that corner
stone rests the power of a
mighty people" Mr.. Bemiss
said.
The Susan Constant was 100
tons. the Godspeed 40 tons, and
the Discovery 20 tons. by way
Iof contrast" Mr.. Bemiss said,
lit is to be remembered that
the Mayflower was a ship of ITO
tons-almost twice as large as
the Susan Constant--and that
her passengers had fed from
England to Holland and were
fleeing from Holland to a great
wilderness very much after the
pattern of the flight Of the chill
Idren of Israel from the wrath
of Pharaoh.
The ships will be anchored of
