Board Agrees
TO Pay Teachers
Before Holidays

The Columbus County School
Board made sure Monday night
that county school teachers
would have Merry Christmas.
Although the teachers will not
have completed the usual 20
teaching days they will still get
their paychecks prior to the
Christmas holidays.
The schedule had been work.
ID out originally for teachers to
)c paid on December 10 but this
Vas based on the 20 teaching
lays having been completed.
When the weather conditions
made 1t necessary for schools to
lose on Thursday and Friday
asst week it threw a wrench into
the payday procedure.
But the school board allayed
all fears teachers may have had
about a pennileSS Christmas
with their decision to make De-
ccmber l9 payday as originally
scheduled.
1t means teachers will face %
teaching days before the next
chez. rolls around. Teachers re-
ceive pay only for days school
is in session. All vacations arc
without pay.

programs; declared Edwards.
of We sit back complaccnt and
not attack our production and
marketing problems with vigor,
we will only be lulling ourselves
into a situation where the pro-
grams can work against the best
interest of farmers instead of
helping them meet market con-

Interest IN music is more than

In developing that interest,
Bob, through the years has ac-
CURED some 40-odd instruments
of his own. Some are good, some
not SO good. Some were good,
but the years have taken their
toll.
Il just can't stand to see a
boy or girl who wants TO play
not get a chance TO just because
they haven't got an instrument.
"Eycrynow and then I'll pick
up an instrument somewhere
and when one of those children
come along, I'll let them use it.
1T may not be the best, but
is something for them to work
with"
Keeping those instruments In
running order, and keeping the
county's instruments blowable
is job in itself. Bob has met
the need by providing himself
with a workshop in the second
story of his home.
Right now it is damned with
horns that have failed in one
way or another, and which will
have to be welded back togeth-
.er, or otherwise fixed to keep
the children playing.

make $40 a. m. classes. Class
work and after school band
work continues right on to $50

STUDENT FINDS EXOTIC CUSTOMS
ENTER JEWISH LIFE IN HINlTERLAND

AT LAST WE reached the vii
lage of Ini-n-Tanort. A place that
looked for all the world like some
early biblical town. Adobe build
ings, donkeys, camels, Jews and
Arabs quite isolated and complete.
Madame O'hayon welcomed me
and we all sat down to cookies
and steaming green mint tea, the
national Arab drink which every
one there consumes in endless
quantities day and night. Mrs.
O'hayon was still in the process
of putting the house in shape and
so I was introduced to more of
the family.
I had expected to spend the few
days conversing entirely in French
and Spanish but 1 was soon pleas
antly surprised to find few peo-
pie speaking excellent English.
Actually not too much of a sur
prise as the Morroccans seem to
be great linguists, both uneducated
Arabs and Europeans. 1t was not
unusual to find someone who spoke
French, Spanish, German, English,
Arabic, Hebrew and, frequently,
Berber-at least three or four OF
these and with great fluency.

RABBI GROUPS
SEGREGATION
POLICY ISSUED

KIAMESHA LAKE, NY. (JTA)
The position to be taken by the
Conservative rabbinate in this
country particularly by rabbis
and congregations in the South
On the issue of desegregation of
Negroes was outlined here ct the
58th annual national convention of
the Rabbinical Assembly of Amer
lea.
RABBI HARRY Halpern, chair
man of the assembly's commission
on social action, said that Conser-
vative Judaism is not concerned
with the appropriate pace at which
the desegregation process should
be realized, but Jews must not
remain silent in the face Of denial
of equality to a segment of the
American people and have q moral
duty to speak out against the in
justice meted out" to Negroes.
Insisting that this injunction ap-
piled to American Jews and their
rabbis wherever they lived, the
rabbinical leader added: 1--WE re-
cognize the dilemma in which our
Jews in Southern communities find
themselves and fully understand
the uniqueness of their position in
communities where they constitute
a small minority"
HE SAID that it could not be
expected of Jews in Southern con-
munities "that they should speak
out alone when their economic Sc
curity, social standing or, who
knows, even their well-being may
be placed in jeopardy"
While agreeing that leaders of
national organizations should con-
suit with Jews in Southern COM
munities whenever we issue any
pronouncements and take counsel
with them before enunciating any
resolutions" Rabbi Halpern insist
ed that Southern Jewry should
work jointly with others who, like
them, abhor the injustice being
done to those whose pigmentation
alone is deemed sole justification
for their treatment"
