P-TA Committee
Approves Pay Scale
Hike for Teachers

The Executive committee of the
Southern High School P-TA went
on record as approving the salary
pay scale plan as proposed by the
Maryland State Teachers Associ-
alton and endorsed by the Mary
land Congress of Parents and
Teachers at its regular meeting
last Monday evening. The plan
calls for a minimum beginning of
81 900 for a teacher with B.A. de-
gree and sets a maximum of $4,000.
In dicussing the endorsement of
the increase for teachers, Charles
Briner, president of the group, eX-
planned the necessity of increasing
salary scales for our teachers.
Many counties are already paying
beginning salaries well above
$4,000. If our county is to recruit
and retain qualified teachers, the
salary requested must be APP
proved. In the long run, it is our
children who suffer when qualified
teachers are not available, he said.
Other business conducted in
cluded statement from Mrs. Rob-
ert Lohr, membership chairman,
who reported that 308 persons had
become members of the local as
sociation this year, an increase of
So more than last years figure.
Emil German, treasurer, re-
ported a balance of $11606 in the
treasury.
Mr.. Briner asked for delegates to
attend a P-TA Public Relations
workshop to be held in Hagers-
town on February &c. Expenses
for those attending will be paid by
the association.
Robert Wooters, program chair
man, announced plans for panel
discussion dealing with Teen
ayers, Cars and School, at the
next meeting of the association,
February Is. 1t was suggested that
three students, a parent, MIR. Finn.

Teen Corner
BY DICK CASTILOw

Hi there Guess I've skipped a
week or so and I'm really very sor-
ry. Semester exams and million
other things kind of put you in
a spin.
/ had a very nice record hop in
Friendsville last Friday night. The
kids we're so great, and seemed to
enjoy themselves so much, that l
would like to have a hop there
once or twice a month.
In cooperation with Southern
High we have been slightly rear
ranging our club schedule. This
week we arc back on that schedule
and we will have Teen club on Fri
day night
You will probably be called
upon at your home within the next
day or two to buy a record for the
new March of Dimes This record
is by the Kingston Trio and the
sides are Molly Dee and Haul
Away. They are Use apiece. This
record was made especially for the
New March of Dimes Foundation.
| should like to give my sincere
apologies to everyone in Grants
vile for failing to produce the
entertainment which l had prom
ised. My only excuse is that | had
an extreme lack of cooperation. l
would feel bad if it we're on my
own and put only me on spot.
Yet this was for wonderful cause
ana put not only me but our coun-
ty March of Dimes chairman on a
bad spot / am ashamed of not
only myself, but of those who were
to entertain and did not cooper
ate.
A new boy has hit the big lists.
His name is RCnnic Dawson and he
recorded a song that you hear
people singing on the street, in
the corridors at school and some
times in the classrooms much to
the teachers dismay). It's waltz
basically and it's called Hazel.
So if you hear the refrain "Ha-
eel, Hazel you shouldn't have done
it." remember Ronnie Dawson.
I'm still proud of writing about
Teen Angel after | had heard it
on WOWO, Fort Wayne, Ind /
picked a winner, and SO did Mark
Dining.
See you all tomorrow night at
Teen Club, and you can read
Teen Corner" again next Thurs
day. as much teen news as | can
collect will be the major contents.
P.S. Aren't we proud of South
ern's basketball team?

Story of Penn Alps
BY DIR. ALTA SCHROCK

Since the days of the early
settlers, the Allegheny Highlands
have Graded men of independence
and nitiative-rugged men of the
soil. Wild game, ranging from deer
and bear in the hill section to ma
tive buffalo in the Berlin Glades,
provided meat for hand-hewn
tables, white turnips, rye and
corn we're grown on small plots
of ground near humble log cabins
of the settlers. Men lived frugally
but well, and held their heads
erect as self-respecting proprietors
of the land they loved and titled.
They created and built and as
sembled with their hands, and
dreams came to fruit through
nimble fingers.
Then came the machine age and
INFLAMMATION, followed by the
spector of unemployment with its
attendant relief roles which grew
in an Overwhelming circle through
out the highlands Ingenuity and
creativity. which had played SO
important a role in the early days
of our country, began to dwindle
and give place to dependency. In
the absence of small industries in
the hill country, young men and
women moved out of the noun
tains in an ever-increaSing stream,
their Northumberland, Pitts
burgh, Washington Baltimore. Tai
ent and leadership sorely needed
in the area we're drained away,
lost in the assembly lines Of the
urban giants of the eastern United
States.
While the human river was flow
ing cityward, people in the noun
tainS began to dream dreams of
the hidden human potential in
these hills. AS long as Is years
ago this dream began to take
shape in the minds of some, as
home industries were visualized
and our artcrial highways were
seen as outlets for the work of
native hands.
In July, 1858, a group of men and
women first met at the Springs
School to share this dream. In Au-
gust of the same year. Penn Alps
was organized officially with a 49,
man Board of Directors, who sin
cerely dedicated themselves to
making this great dream come
true
Men and women of vision are in
vited to visit Penn Alps on the

GUIDE FOR HOMEOWNERS
WITH REPAIR PROBLEMS

In the Washington Metropolitan Area there are plenty
of reliable home improvement contractors If you get
three estimates for the home improvement work you
want done and take the time to ask homeowners
about their experience with these contractors, you
shouldn't have any trouble. Homeowners with an
inquiry or complaint involving home improvement should
consult the following:
Is your home improvement contractor reliable? Call
yom Better Business Bureau or your bank savings
and loan association.
Did your contractor fail to perform under an FHA-
insured home improvement loan? Complain the bank
or savings and loan association making the loan
the FHAS D. c. 1nSurng Office.
Is permit required for the work to be done on your
home? Call your local building inspector
Do you think you defrauded criminaly by a
home improvement contractor? Complain to the prose-
cutor in your area.

Start of "Good"
Road System Shown

In the early years of this century,
when the people of Maryland were
beginning to trade their horses for
automobiles, the cry went out for
better roads to accommodate in
creasing numbers of gas-burners.
Finally, the demand became so
great that in 1908 and 1909, under
the administration of Governor
Austin L. Crothers, a bill was
passed whereby the State would
provide revenue for construction
of improved highways.
Among the first of these to be
undertaken in Maryland was a
piece of highway starting at Oak
land and continuing toward Thay-
erville, where today's old photo
graph was taken in 1909.
Only one bid was received for
this five and one-half mile stretch,
and the contract was awarded to
j. E. Francis for the sum of $751;
468. 80, considered fabulous
amount at the time for road build
ing purposes.
A newspaper account of July Is,
1909, states:
Contractor j. E. Francis on Sat
urday took his machinery from
Oakland to Sand Flat, where the
work of constructing the good road
over the route selected will start.
The machinery consists of three
traction engines, large string of
horses and wagons. In going out
of town, it looked like a railroad
train. A number of wagons were
