County COP Down
But Far From OUT
An Opinion

Members of the Republican Party in Mont
gomery County gave indications last Thursday
night at the annual Lincoln Day dinner that they
have no intentions of sitting quietly by until the
next election campaign.
At the first first large public affair since
rather dismal defeat in November, even Rcpub-
lcan leaders were surprised TO see so much en-
thusiasm among workers and party members.
They think it's pretty good sign that the local
COP is not dead; not too sick TO recover from
lost election, and is not split TO any great extent
Principal speaker, Meade S. Alcorn Repub-
lican National Committee Chairman, said, 1T is
very clear that the elephant is neither dead nor
alternating in Montgomery County. lie also told
the local Republicans that their "neighborto.
neighbor" drive prior to the election was tops in
the country.
To Dave ScuIl, chairman OF the local COP
State Central Committee, belongs much OF the
credit for present party spirit lie has devoted
many hours Of thought and effort 10 building the
COP into real potent political force. lie is aware
of the disadvantage Republicans in this county
suffer as a minority party on the voting books.
Mr. Scull has strong ambition and strong
hope.
lie aspires TO iron out all party kinks and dis
satisfactons in order to build the strongest pos
sible organization before next election The job Is
big, but the chairman is equal to the task.
Dawes Sculrs one big hope Is that the liberal
element and the more conservative members OF
the Democratic Party here will split the Demo
Gratis wide open within the next few years. As a
matter Of fact, Mr.. Soul would not be too un

taxes. We recently elected governor who cam
pagned the fascinating pledge to raise teachers
salaries while opposing the taxes to pay for it.
So the PTA stand is rather refreshingly eccentric
Its latest statement came from Joseph Els
who is promoting the organizations teachers
salary plan calling for top pay of $4,000 year.
In defending the cost of such an innovation, Els
declared fatty:
Takes I'm the county much too low in
relation to comparable areas In the nation. We
can afford to pay more to give children the
kind of education we want them to have"
Els is chairman of the P!TA's teacher re-
cruitment and retainment committee which
drafted the proposed pay scale as part of broad
program for Turing the best teaching talent in
the country to
He and the P.TA frankly do not want to set
tie for anything less than the best And they
make attempt to pretend that the best is not
expensive.
Els quotes statistics tending to demonstrate
that, even If the County Council approves the
school boards plan for a healthy raise in teach
ers' pay, additional hikes will soon be necessary.
The number of school systems paying a
maximum of at least $500 more than doubled
last year over the year before" he said. There
now SO such systems, which is an indication
of national trend / think the public is willing
to pay"
