Attention Is Called To
Liability Insurance Laws

Attention was called this week
to regulation in the automobile
liability insurance laws which
makes it mandatory to pay an as
sessment of $1,000 if person
coverage has lapsed even for one
day.
Insurance agents say they have
been receiving queries from GUS
toners.
The law states that should a per
son allow his automobile liability
insurance coVcrage to be cancelled,
expire or lapse for even one day
he will be assessed by the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles. The as
sessment must be made under the
law covering uninsured motor We
hicles and the dissatisfied Judg-
ment Fund Even if a person should
pay up his insurance the following
day after lapSing he could not get
his S32 refunded
If the assessment is not paid,
persons will be required to turn
in their automobile tags,

1.-THE history of city perform
ance has been evolution too
little and too late after crises
have developed to major pro-
portions. Counties should set
up from the beginning to do it
right. -"
The speaker said that county
governments can be the met
ropolitan governments for
cities within their borders.
Unless County government
can provide a means for defin-
ing and serving the general
welfare of a community which
is larger than the cities within
the county but includes them,
another form Of government
will"
Counties, he added, are the
most efficient medium for joint
action by local jurisdictions.
For example, a centralized
planning staff serving a coun-
ty and several towns within
it would provide higher-quality
service than if each acted sep
arately.
Mr.. Bair warned that the al
tentative to this cooperative
attitude is for city limits to ex-
pand ito the bursting point
/. where the cities bankrupt
themselves providing the full
range of services to scattered

County Seen
Best Ally Of
Urban Areas

RICHMOND, Nov. IA. -
Counties can serve the needs
of growing urban areas better
than cities or States, a con-
sultant on local government
told a meeting of county Off
Gals yesterday.
The speaker, Frederick H.
Bair, jr., of Auburndale, Fla,
said the county "can serve as
the encompassing local govern
ment, and it is the last of the
accepted forms which can do
So"
He said counties stand a
good chance of holding at the
local level governmental pow
ers and controls which in the
absence of good county govern
ment will pass to the State or
Federal level"
But, he told delegates to the
League of Virginia Counties
convention here, counties must
move now to provide the serv-
ices needed by expanding pop
ulation centers.
Counties can either meet the
new responsibilities, Mr.. Bair

A 1854 teacher pay pro-
posal carrying increases of
$500 to $1,000 and costin g
nearly $2.3 million is being
studied by the Prince Georges
County School Board.
The plan would cost $1.3
million to boost salaries for de-
gree and certified teachers, the
Prince Georges Teachers Asso-
citation told the board yeSter-
day.
But another 81 million would
be needed to grant 500 and
5000 annual increments already
in the established scale and not
included in the associations
proposal, School Supt. William
S. Schmidt noted.
The association request re-
tains the $4,000 basic starting
pay for bachelor degree teach
erS but raises the 15-year max
imum from $1,000 to $8,400,
The corresponding scale is $4,-
820-$8,930 in Montg cry
County, which has the highest
salary schedule in the Wash
ington area.
More to Professionals
A 12-member salary commit
tee of the teachers association
said it's plan would give "the
greater remuneration" to pro-
fessionally trained and expert
enced persons.
Non-degree and non-certified
teachers would not come in for
a pay raise, but would receive
increments already in the ex-
listing pay scale, the committee
said.

School Board Weighs
$2.3 Million Pay Raise

Mr.. Schmidt predicted con-
siderable dissatisfaction from
some 488 degree teachers who
would not be entitled to raises
because they are certified to
teach high school subjects but
not the elementary school
grades where they are working
this year. They would continue
on a scale of $4,800-$7, 300.
Under the association pro-
posal, teachers with master de-
grees would have their scale
boosted from $5,100-$8,200 to
SIS, 200-$9, 400. With 80 hours of
additional credit, the master
degree teacher would be on a
new scale of $5,600-$9,800 in
stead of the present $5,400-
$500.
Largest Raises
The doctor degree scale
would go from $5.7O0-$8,800 to
Sc, O00-$1O,2O0. The largest raise
in the proposal would be for
doctor degree teachers in their
18th year. They would be raised
from $500 to $4,000 plus a
5000 annual increment.
The new pay proposal is
geared to an expected teaching
force of 1913 persons. about
800 more than now employed.
The 1923 budget adopted by
the county earlier this year
gave teachers a pay raise pat
termed on the new basic scale
of $4,800-$7, 900, to replace a
$4,500-$T,600 schedule.
The school board earlier cut
500 from the minimum and
$500 from the maximum re-
quested by the teachers asso-
citation for 1923.

VIRGINIA TO SNUB PILGRIMS,

yesterday and proclaimed November % Thanksgiving
in honor Of Virginia coonstS.

gathered at Berkeley Richmond in 1919 to observe
Americas first Thanksgiving ceremony"
President Kennedy in his proclamation mentioned
the Pilgrims orignatorS of Americas Thanksgiving
This prompted former State Senator John j. Wicker r
Of Richmond to call the President to correct what Mr.
Wicker said error.

Louisiana Laity

Two weeks ago we had occasion to commend
Archbishop Rummel of New Orleans for carrying out
the Christian principle of forbidding racial segre-
CATION in Catholic schools.
WE TOOK same opportunity to condemn
those Catholics who would diSobey their divinelyap-
pointed spiritual leader in what is clearly a moral
matter.
Subsequently we have read much in the news
papers and heard a great deal of commentary on tele-
vision. We were somewhat dismayed that practically
all the news stories featured the reactions of the dis
obedient Catholics. Even Walter Cronkite of CBS-TV
devoted a disproportionate amount of time on his
first news program to this negative side of the story
and spoke of accommodation in tones that almost
c%onjured up images of the lnquisition.
This brings us to a very important point in this
issue: the conduct of the Catholic laity in New Orleans.
Archbishop Cody, c%o-adjutor bishop of New Orleans,
declared in a sermon on April 8: 1.-THE bishops cannot
fulfill their apostolic function without the cooperation
of the laity.''
We want to make it clear to our readers that the
great majority of Catholics in New Orleans have
cooperated with their spiritual leaders on this matter.
IN THIS CITY Of nearly one and one-half million
people, SIS per cent of the white population and %
per cent of the colored population are Catholics, but
despite one estimate that one-quarter Of white .Catho-
lies is against school Indignation and so per cent more
are on the fence, here is a sampling of what has hap
pened since the Archbishop first spoke out for racial
justice:
" attendance at Mass on Sundays as we'll as the
reception of the sacraments continues to be typically
good.
. collections for church support have remained
at their regular level and have increased in some par
ishes.
" the response to the Laetare Sunday Overseas
Appeal equalled 95 per cent of the 1861 record col
lection and officials felt late contributions would
raise the amount to equal or even above last year
More important, Catholic school officials point
out that the number of boys and girls planning to
continue their education in ~parochial schools in the
New Orleans area should equal the record enroll
ment of 1861 and that some schools report even
higher registrations for the Fall of 1862. The enroll
ment situation for Catholics high schools also remains
stable.
One statement of Archbishop Rummels intentions
reads that Ellis role is not that of a monarch handing
down cold legislation. His role is that of a father of
the family of Catholics, In that family he sees both
white and colored children whom he must treat equal
ly."
The Catholic people of New Orleans acknowledge
this fact and are to be commended for acting in ac-
cordance with il. -GAF.

Encouraging Signs

Recently the Catholic Times pointed out that IS
per cent of the families in the Diocese are entirely
Catholic or, that only one out of four have a husband
or wife of another religion.
THIS IS A VERY good proportion when we realize
Catholics constitute only 10 per cent of the total popu-
lation in the % counties. The presumption would seem
to be that there would be many more mixed marriages
than there are.
The high ratio of Catholic marriages would seem
to be attributed to many factors. First, the influence
OF Catholic parents who must advise their sons and
daughters that there is a greater chance for a success
tul marriage when both Spouses are Catholic.
Then, certainly the fact that the Diocese has an
excellent parochial and private school system which so
far has been able to accommodate those who wish a
Catholic education. There is no doubt but that the So
cal contacts in Catholic schools lead to Catholic mar
riageS.
Not to be discounted either, is the contribution
made to this situation by parish activities and particu-
larly through our Catholic Youth organizations for
teenagerS and young adults. The good record more
than j~ustifies the time and effort that goes into Youth
work throughout the Diocese.
FINALLY. U YOUNG people themselves are
to be commended for their aWareness of this important
factor In married life. 1t shows they are learning from
the Church, the school, and their elders and are trying
to insure, as far as they can, a successful marriage.
None of these remarks should in any way be in
terpreted as downgrading the love, success, or con-
tr1butIon OF the families of mixed religion in our
midst. But the fact remains that there is not one mar
rage counsellor, psychologist, social worker, guidance
expert, teacher, spiritual director or pastor who will
not attest that people should marry those of the same
religion because the chances of happiness are SO much
greater. Studies have shown that the occurrence of d-
vorce is two and one-half times greater in a mixed
marriage than when both spouSes are of the same
faith.
We trust our young people will continue to prac-
tice this good sense.-GAF
