About 1900 houses and

Stanley Rakusin, secretary Of

of plans for the subdivision "arc
imminent" and that Mcrrimack
officials hope TO present their
plans 10 the Rockville Mayor and

indicated that city heads have an

New Specs Adopted
For School TV Sets

Revised specifications for class.
room television sets were ap.
proved this week by the Board
of Education.
The new requirements were
drawn up by a committee of cleo
tronic experts who were called
in when the old specifications
were challenge by taxpayers and
some board members.
One of the basic issues -
whether a 24-inch set is needed
for classroom use remained
undecided.
The specifications call for "a
inch receivers, but with alternate
bids for 21-inch receivers. >
This will allow the board to
delay its decision until the actual
bid award.
School Superintendent G..
Taylor Whittier described the
new specifications as more
stringent than originally"
Earlier this year, the board
agreed to purchase 24.inch sets
from TRANSMISSION, Inc, of New
Montgomery County sentinel., 1958-11-27

Rochelle, N. Y, at a cost Of $319
each.
This brought numerous com.
plants that the boards specifi.
cations were too fancy" and that
cheaper sets might be adequate.
Gustavc Shapiro, one of the
electronics specialists on the spe.
cial committee, cautioned the
board Monday night: "Don't think
any home televlsion set will quail
ify."
He said school room sets must
be extra rugged, "tamper-proof,"
and built high enough for clear
classroom viewing.
Shapiro intimated that in his
opinion there are only three
manufacturers which make sets
sturdy enough for the purpose:
TRANSMISSION, Motorola and Con.
rae.
When the bids come in. the
committee Of experts have volun.
teered to inspect the sets and
prices offered, and help the board
with It's decision.

Top Teacher Pay
OF $4,000 Urged

A resolution recommending
a top pay of $4,000 for coun-
ty teachers was submitted to
the County Council of P-TAs
this week.
The plan calls for beginning
salaries in many cases approach
ing present maXimums.
The suggestions were included
in a formal report of the Coun-
ellis teacher recruitment and re-
tainment committee.
Committee Chairman JO-
Seph Els said the schedule
was proposed as. an ultimate
goal and not necessarily for
immediate adoption.
Under the plan, beginning
teachers wfth B.A. degrees would
receive $4,000, as compared to
$4,000 at present. Top grade for
B.A. holders would be $4,000, as
against $4,000 now.
Those with masters degrees
would start at $500 and rise to
$10,500 (current maximum,
$4,000.
Ph.D.s would be paid from
$6500 to $4,000 (current maxi
mum, $6600).
The committee recommenda-
tons were due to be submitted
to the Council as a whole at its
monthly meeting Tuesday.
The committee recommended
numerous other innovations, in
addition to higher pay, to lure
top-flight career teachers to the
county.
These included expanded well
fare benefits; scholarships for
worthy prospective county teach
ers; bettered teaching conditions,
and increased support of local

This leaves 1893 pupils in the

Monday nights integration re-
port was submitted by DR.. Max
Burdette, director of educational
services and. chairman of a de.

mainly of principals and teachers.
Burdette said the biggest
barrier TO total integratiOn
is "the lack of classroom
space and other school facili-
ties i'm the right place"
Projects now under way - or
proposed in Whittier's 1959-60
capital requests will make it
practicable to integrate all ele-

said.

made to determine the best means

new schools :. will be the best
answer to the problem of reliev.
