TEACHING AS A PROFESSION
OFFERS MOST TO WOMEN
(Laurinburg EXchange)

Despite the almost universal be-
lief that teachers are inadequate
ly paid, land by most standards
they are), it is interesting to note
that a study, or survey, made by
the Women's Bureau of the De-
partment of Labor and the Ma
tional Vocational Guild, Inc, pro-
duces figures which show that
women graduating from college in
1855 and starting work as teach
ers in the 1856 school year Gre
ceived an averaged beginning sal
airy of $3,197, while the average
salary of all women graduates was
$3,141."
And Josephine Ripley writing in
The Christian Science Monitor,
says:
"This may come as surprise to
many, particularly to those of us
who have been led to think of
teachers salaries as at the tag
end of the pay chart.
at seems that, as far as women
are concerned anyway, the begin
ming s2lary for teachers compares
favorably with most beginning
rates. in fact, is slightly higher
than the average, although lower
than in the highly specialized
fields.
"This unexpected statistic was
turned up in a survey conducted
by the Women's Bureau of the
Department of Labor and the Ma
tional Vocational Guidance Asso-
citation, Inc. Only a preliminary
analysis of this study, developed
from information supplied by 81
600 women graduates-representa-
tives of an estimated 81 900 women
graduated from colleges and uni
versities in 1955-has been made
public so far"

Taking The Free Out Of Freedom

nance on the vehicles, their regu-
lar occupations permitting. Add to
this the cost of spare parts-one
item alone amounting to $40
and it is not difficult to see where
the small amount of available
funds can disappear.
'In addition there is in exist
ence very heartbreaking admin
istrative problem involving a GER
tain amount of vacillation exhibit
ed in the judgment of various
State and Federal officials.
"For example, following the
April storm, state officials visited
the area and acknowledged the be-
ginning of a mosquito problem at
that time. They indicated that
application could be. made for mos
quito control, because of the exist
ing health hazard. This was COM
piled with by your county officials
and then after a long wait, the
application was turned down. We
were then notified that funds
might be available if the applica-
ton was re-submitted nj separate
form. Nothing came OF this either.
Finally the county was able to
scrape together some emergency
money-so that at least we could
begin to do something. However,
this gesture was practically elimi-
mated through the aforementioned
mechanical fixtures and the de-
velopment of a completely I'M
friendly weather pattern.
Therefore, perhaps it will be-
come clear to the residents of
Dare County, as to why l person
ally do not like to see money
wasted by the establishment of
strict Jogging schedules irrespec-
tive of weather conditions. For ex-
ample, Stumpy Point can be fog
ged only on a south west wind and

is easy to see that there may be
many days before Stumpy Point
could be covered with any effect
by our existing equipment, and yet
it would not be realistic to refuse
to fog another area experiencing
more ideal conditions, just because
any other particular location might
not have had it's turn. This is no
fault of my drivers, since they are
doing all that they can, under
the circumstances, and are follow
ing my instructions.

CAPT. BOB PASSES ON
lWashington Daily Newsl

y
The death of Capt. Bob Burrus
of Swan Quarter has taken from
the Pamlico scene a colorful figure
and a well-known citizen. Many in
Hyde and Beaufort counties will
miss him.
Capt. Bob lived a full and busy
life as boat master, speculator and
gentleman farmer. He had great
memory and carried with him the
recollection of events to fill many
interesting pages of history about
the Carolina Tideland region. His
story telling was enjoyed by many
younger men who liked to hear of
by-gone days.
The Hyde County man spent his
early life operating boats between
Hyde, Washington, New Bern and
other points. He watched the era
of water transportation give way
to motor transport, and saw the
economic life of the coast slow
down while inland areas grew. He
saw his native land struggle
against the handicap of poor roads,
lack of rail and air facilities, and
the changing world in fast-turning
times. He retired to live on the
land.
But though Capt. Bob watched
great economic and social change
in his time in the coastal area, the
great friendliness of the region;
the pace of good living; and the
traits of neighborliness continued
always. And he was part of that
life.
Perhaps it was this friendliness
this love of his fellowman for
which he made his greatest mark.
But many will best remember him
for his unique personality, his
individuality.
Certainly the Tideland area has
lost good citizen and the Daily
News joins in extending its SYM
pathies to his family and loved
ones.

an idea is conceived by the social
ed officials they stick-to-it regard
less of the majority opinion, de-
mands, or vote.
Pm but one, and at the present
have no children in school, but l
would like to see some schools, we
the people of Dare County could
be proud of, but most of all schools
that could adequately educate our
children and at the same time pro-
vide for their comfort.
You wouldn't hire a helper that
did as he pleases or permit him
to do things that displeased you,
so why permit our county officials
to do so. Let's all get together and
straighten out our county affairs.

KIND WORDS FROM FAITHFUL
VISITOR TO THE COASTLAND

To The Editor:
My belated congratulations not
only on the most recent birthday
of The Coastland Times, but on
your fine column-editorial and your
sustained performance.
l was. greatly impressed with
your forceful expression of respon-
sibility and principles for weekly
newspapers and once more want
to commend you for living up to
your concept of the duty of a
weekly publisher.
The Coastland Times continues
to be valuable and inspiring in
fluence for the entire Dare County
community and you can rightly
look back on the past twenty-one
years as evidence of accomplish
rhent for the whole area. Along
with the residents, many of us
non-residents with deep affection
for the Outer Banks have benefit
ed from improvements and achieve
ments for which the paper is in
large part responsible.
/ expect to be seeing you the
first part of next month, as we
are scheduled for our annual va
cation at the Croatan.

RECOGNITION FOR EFFORT

To The Editor:
/ am not unmindful of the many
things you have sponsored for our

could have more people on that
end, like you, we would have been
even better off than we are.

funds-delegated to biological or
chemical control of organic prob
lens. There is right and a wrong
way to defeat or control various
acts of nature. One method will
result in the funneling of dollars
down the drain, while another
method, after the original finan-
cial outlay, will result in a greater
dollar value for the attainment of
the end product.
81 firmly believe that eventually
Dare County will get good sound
mosquito control program-with
a permanent staff of employees,
under one administrative control
group, directed by one technically
experienced individual and result
ing in drainage, larviciding, and
adulticiding programs that will
work.
There isn't a one of us connect
ed with this work that doesn't
realize the impact of this problem
on our area. We're doing all we
can do with the funds, material,
personnel and equipment available
with due consideration to the size
of this county.
at is of little consequence to
add, that the mosquitoes that are
raising cain with you and yours,
are doing the same to me and
mine."

A YOUNG MAN VIEWS LACK
OF INTEREST IN SCHOOLS

To The Editor:
Spend needless money to make
our three or four criminals a year
more comfortable in Jail, but hold
down the school budget for our
hundreds of children. Could this
be Dare County's current policy :?
Where else but Dare County?
Are the officials afraid if the
schools get too good, and the chill
dren get too well educated, they
will as men and women of tomor-
row put someone else in their (the
officialsO offices; the offices they
are preparing to make plush and
intend to keep for the rest of their
lives.
Of course, for the people of Dare
County, it would do no good to
demand, or vote for a bigger
school budget, for it seems once

New Beef Cattle
Group Formed

FASTER GAINING feeders was the
ultimate objective when small group
of beef cattle producers gathered at
Bozeman, March IL, to discuss the pros
and cons of setting up a statewide
organization to take care of what is
expected to be an increased demand
from the beef cattle feeder for stock
with high-gain, indexed background
Not long ago national organization
of the same type was set up. The
state organization would likely be pat
termed after the national, and its name
most likely would be the Montana Beef
Cattle Performance Registry Associa-
ton.
Fred Wilson, head, Animal Industry
Department, Montana State College,
was chosen acting chairman of the
group, following an outline Of detectives
by Paul circuit, extension livestock spe-
cialiSt.
Eaton Becker, Wilsall; Ross Higgins,
Ringing, and circuit were appointed as
a committee to write up the working
codes of the organization and to pick
a time and place for the next meeting.
During the past selling season, it
was noted, there had been marked
increase in demand for feeder calves
sired by high weight-indexed bulls. But
with no organization to carry the re-
sponsibility of putting the buyer in
touch with the seller, very little of the
demand was satisfied Quite naturally
the commercial operator using indexed
bulls will be as much a part Of the
planned organization as will the pure
bred breeder who produces the bulls.

New Beef Grades

EFFECTIVE JUNE 1 the present
Commercial grade of beef will be
divided into two new grades designated
as Standard and Commercial. The
change is being made on the basis Of
maturity of beef animals. Accordingly,
after June 1 the grade name ''Stand-
ard will be applied to beef from
younger animals of the Commercial
grade and the name Commercial will
be retained for beef from mature ami
mails in the present Commercial grade.
