See Chance For
Early Start On
Improvements

West Jefferson's Village Coun-
Gil is still making plans to make
the old Village Hall available for
occupancy during the first year of
their term. In keeping on the path
toward improving the building, the
group passed legislation Monday
evening which will give them a
start on a program to realize funds
needed for repairing the structure.
According to the plans, as ten
tatively proposed, economical use
of funds, and borrowing against
anticipated tax revenue, would
possibly make the work feasible
this summer. The Council action
authorized Solicitor William Culp
to proceed with steps to get the
needed cash, as preliminary
measure. Architects are preparing
figures for council so as to give
them definite amount needed for
their proposal.
Mayor Homer Braithwaite told
Council that he felt the people of
West Jefferson would appreciate
the fact that council is trying to
give the Village something real
and worthwhile for their tax dol
lars, and council voiced the opinion
that an earlier bond vote would
have passed had it been for inn
movement instead of for a lavish
new building.
In other action council voted r.
have legislation drawn which
would make it possible to refund
an assessment for sewers to Tee
Saunders. Tt was pointed out that
the sewers were never made avail
able, and that Saunders later con.
structed his own sewer.
Council also passed an ordinance
companion TO the police chief or
dinance passed at the last meeting
which will make it possible for the
police chief to hold the 'ob Of
Street Commissioners at an hourly
rate of Soc plus. his REGULAR pay
Council noted that without me

lice Chief would actually be get
ting salary lower than the pa
trolmen on the force.
A representative of the Wste,
BOARD appeared before council ane
informed them that the water tow
er must undergo extensive reDair'
to the amount of $4,000. He asked
that council aid in reducing the
sewer use charges SO that water
bills may be increased to help GOV
er the costs of the repairs. No ac
ton was taken on the matter.
In final action Council votet
down two ordinances which hac
been tabled since last October. On

.London High Will

Scholarship Tests

London High School will partici-
pate in the National Merit Schol-
arship Qualifying Test that will be
administered in high schools in the
u. S. and its territories on April
29th of this year, according to an
announcement made this week.
This annual nationwide search for
high school students who have
demonstrated outstanding ability
to benefit from college education
has been conducted since 1855,
Supt. J. J. Hartley said.
This new three hour educational
development test will place en-
phasis on broad intellectual skills,
on understanding of and ability to
use what is learned, rather than
on sheer knowledge of facts. The
results from this test can be used
for individual guidance purposes.
Counselors and teachers can help
students decide about senior cours-
es, college plans and even the most
appropriate college majors
Schools will be furnished inforrna-
tion to allow them to make maxi
mum use of the test results for
guidance. This test will be con-
structed, scored. and reported by

| All students will receive report
of their scores. These test results
will enable students to understand

able them to select college courses

Serious Shortage
OF Substitutes
For City Teachers

London's ever-growing school
system is approaching a problem
of shortage of substitute teach
ers, Supt. ]. j. Hartley said this
week. He emphasized that the City
Schools have fewer than a dozen
qualified teachers available on
short notice" which is usually
the case.
He noted that several persons in
London are qualified but not certi-
fled for the particular teaching
needs which may arise. Often
teacher substitutes for High School
can not be found for the particu-
lar subject matter, and in the
grades teachers may qualify for
only one grade or group.
One reason advanced for the re-
duction in the number of substi.
tute teachers available in London
is that many qualified teachers
have taken permanent teaching
positions in other schools as a re.
suit of the widespread demand
The increasing number of pupils
in London and in the Madison
County system has created q
teacher shortage, as well as a
space shortage.
! When the final analysis was
made, it was pointed out that the
substitute teachers are also limit
ed by problems of Transportation
family responsibilities, specialize.
ton and time limitations of the
short notices.
Supt. Hartley said, I'VE are re.
questing that any qualified teach
er available for substitute teaching
in either high school or the ele.
mentary grades register at the
Superintendent office. Your name
will be added to the available list
and you will be rendering a real
service to the schools and the chill.
