Ala, Jan. 1— Dospite the fact that authorities havo-not been able to check upomn receipts from taxes to date or to determine whether or not the state will bring up its share necessary to operate the Jefferson County school system for the regular term, at 'mast seven months schooling is ivailable according to informatiom from the Jefferson County school hoard. I the state funds becomé available the full term will be held ctherwise instruction will cover & - cven months period. That isn't the only good news for Jefferson county citizens in the rural districts and -Mr. J. D. Moore, president of the board ,is heartily {hanking those who paid their taxes: rud made it possible for the schools to continue operating by paying their taxes promptly. This action came in response to a fervent aps peal on the part of President Moore to the taxpayers to come to the rescue of the schools and' abcve all to the school teachers vho were rendering efficient serve ice from month to month despite the fact that many of them were actualiy doing without some of the necessities of life because they had not reccived their salaries. Pay= mesits have come from time to time in a gpasmodic mauner and here is the good news Tomorrow morning, the First Na= tional Bank will be the scene of a pay-ofi in which every teacher will be given his December pay. More than two hundred race teach ers are in the group. What is more the board has enough money o &8 sure its operation for some time, pay interest on its loans, and pay the teachers regularly for the rest of the term. Up uniil a week or so "agn, the teachers were from one $o two months behind in their salary checks. 3 BIISSISSIPPI AGAIN THRUEAT- - ENS LOWLANDS : CLARKSDALE, Miss, Jan. 11— (ANP) The Mississippi is at it as :amn.
