A merit pay raise plan to
retain able teachers was given
unanimous and final approval
last night by the Montgomery
County Board of Education.
The plan, which school ON
Gals say is the first of its kind
in the United States, will pro-
vide salary raises from $7,700
to $4,000 a year for recon-
mended teachers with masters
degrees.
The board also ordered the
school administration to set up
a voluntary 12-month school
year for a limited number
of teachers beginning next
summer.
Supt. C. Taylor Whittier
emphasized the pay raise plan
was not intended to eliminate
the less able teachers, but to
help those who are above aver
age to increase their salaries.
There are 305 teachers with
masters degrees among the
county's 5000 public school
teachers.
Incentive Stressed
The plan provides for rec
ignition of teachers abilities
in many fields and gives incen-
tive for attaining a masters
degree, he pointed out. Mr..
Whittier noted teacher effec-
tiveness will be rated on aca-
demic knowledge and methods
of teaching as we'll as rela-
tons with pupils, parents and
fellow teachers.
Principals and supervisors
will evaluate the teachers with
masters degrees who seek the
merit raises. Review and APP
peal boards consisting Of other
teachers and administrators
will be set up.

by a 6-to-1 vote to have his
staff prepare a plan for keep

In Germany, Italy, Belgium, England, Japan and other
countries men happily making steel to send to the United
States the greatest steemakng nation in the world
The steel they sending here jobs and wages lost
to American steelworkers forever.
Long before the strike began however imports of foreign
steel were rising while exports of American steel falling
Since December 1858 monthly steel imports have exceeded
exports, for the first time in modern history.
One OF the chief for this that steeworkers wages

Yet the leaders of the steel Union in this country have
called 100000 steeworkers out strike for more imitation
and an even wider wage gap between the and its foreign
competitors.
Here from recent trade reports few examples which
hghight the growing threat of foreign steel imports:

Bell suffered a mild heart at

ever since. His travel had been
limited. and a great deal of
the league work he did at his
suburban Narberth home
DR.. Paul Schrode of the Uni

him.
HE was just gasping" the
doctor said. He was pale

Rev. John Walsh of st. James
Church here, and the Rev. Jo-
seph Marion of the Princeton,

The owners, of course, were
too shocked to give much
thought about a successor. IN
der league rules, in the event
of the commissioners death, a
league meeting to elect a sue
ceSsor must be called within
80 days. Club owners have the
alternative of appointing a
president to serve until the
annual meeting in January.
Gunsel Acting Boss
For the moment, however,
the acting commissioner is
Austin H. GunSel, treasurer OF
the NIL and a former FBl
agent. The constitution says
the treasurer automatically be-
comes acting commissioner on
the commissioners death, to
serve until a new commissioner
is appointed. Gunsel lives in
Narberth, not far from Bells
home.

successor would have to include

On as McHan,
Hornung Star

the Green Bay PACKERS, long
dormant in the National Foot
ball League, have catapulted
to the top Of the heap on the
shoulders of a hand-me-down
quarterback and a shrewd new
coach.
Suddenly the only stable ele-
ment in the upset-prone circuit,
the Packers won their third
straight yesterday, edging the
San Francisco Forty-Nners,
21-20, in a battle of the leagues
only undefeated clubs.
The main offensive threat for
the Packers-who haven't won
a division title since 1944-was
Lamar McHan, picked up with
out fanfare from the Chicago
Cardinals on a trial basis.
The former Arkansas star
clicked on a 2l-yard scoring
pass to Gary Knafelc in the
fourth quarter for the deciding
touchdown. 1t was his second

HOrnung Shift Pays of
A clever offensive tactician,
Coach Vince lombard began
Juggling the downtrodden
Green Bay outfit as soon as he
took over. One of the moves
that has paid a large dividend
was the shifting of Paul Horn
ung to halfback.
Hornung has turned into
one of the leagues best run
ners, making the Packers a
threat on the ground as well
as in the air. Against the
Forty Miners he scored once on
an 8-yard scamper and gained
1873 yards in % carries. The
former Notre Dame star suf-
fered a pinched nerve near the
right shoulder and had to leave
L in the closing seconds.
The Packers next meet the
Los Angeles Rams, who posted
their first victory in convincing
fashion by upsetting the Chi
kcago Bears, 1921. Green Bay
hopes Hornung will be ready
for that one.
In other games, defending
champion Baltimore rallied to
defeat Detroit, 3l-24; New
York edged Cleveland, 1876;
Washington appended the Chi

(AP) Commissioner Bert Bell
of the National Football League
died of a heart attack yester-
day. leaving void the men he
served say they never really
can fill.
The 65-year-old Bell COL
lapsed in the seats of the very
stadium in which he started
his rise from college quarter
back to car of professional foot
ball. He was watching a game
b etween the Philadelphia
Eagles and the Pittsburgh
Steelers, teams he once owned
and coached.
He was pronounced dead 10
minutes later in University Hos
pital, a stones throw from
Franklin Field where thousands
once cheered him as Penn foot
ball captain.
Around the league, owners
and coaches paid homage to
the man under whose guidance
the league prospered beyond
anyone's widest dreams. Pro-
feSsional football under Bell
became respected as a major
sport.
Called Great Leader
George HAAS, a pioneer of
the pro game, probably summed
up best the feeling Of his COL
leagues when he commented:
BELL was a great leader, a
genius in fact.
"All his contributions to pro
football will never be forgotten.
He brought pro football to its
present heights and we will
all miss him."
Bells three children, Bert

he died. They attended the

The Sidney herald., 1959-03-04

One of the most important
nutritional problems at this time
of year is Vitamin A deficiency.
It causes such severe losses that
the national committee in charge
of Livestock Loss Prevention
Year is making a special drive
against it this month.
For the farmer, it is important
that he know key symptoms of
Vitamin A deficiency, so he can
be alert for them and get prompt
help when they appear. In young
calves, symptoms include watery
eyes, nasal discharge, cough,
wrinkled skin, staggering, and
weakness. Mature cattle may
develop night blindness or have
swollen legs and forequarters.
Cows may produce weak, blind,
or dead calves.
In swine, Vltamln a deficiency
may cause blindness, muscular
incoordipation, respiratory diff
culties, and production of weak,
blind, or malformed pigs.
The first thing an owner should
do if any of these tell-tale signs
appear in his livestock, is to have
a proper diagnosis made, to be
sure of the cause. Some of these
troubles can also be caused by
things other than Vitamin A
deficiency.
If lack Of Vitamin A is the
cause, the answer, naturally, is
to bolster the ration with cor
receive amounts of the vitamin.
Sometimes, special supplement
tary treatment may also be
needed.
The best plan, of course, is to
prevent such deficiency prob
lens. This can usually be done
by feeding green, leafy legume
or yellow corn.
