Recipe For the Care and Feed
ing of Good Teachers:: There’s a
.plan taking shape for holding your
good teachers and getting more
.first class ones. It is the work
of the new Salary Schedule Re
vision -Committee appointed by
Stale Superintendent M. D. Col
lins. The committee held the first
meeting recently, and will meet
again November 15 and 16.
There's nothing really definite
yet, but here is the trend of its
thinking: Teachers with four
year degrees should start at $3,600
and go up with $250 increases
every three years through the
twenty-first year to $5,400. Teach
ers with five year degrees should
start at $4,000 and go up at three
■year intervals through twenty-
Tour years to $6,000. Beginning
teachers should get small raises
each year for the first three, to
encourage and hold them. Princi
pals should get a $6 to $lO sup
plement for each teacher from ‘
one to twenty-five in number, de-;
pending on whether the principal •
holds a P 4 or P 5 administrative '
certificate. The teacher with
ttwo and three year prepration
would get small raises, tpo, i
though we do not issue such cer
tificates any more. The way to
..get first class teachers is to pay
salaries that will attract more
and more first class teachers into'
these classrooms where your chil- j
dren are getting ready for college I
and for jobs. Dr. Purcell is chair
man of this committee. Here are
the members: Dr. E. M. Thomp

Getting Ready For Those Mid
dle Grades: Do you remember i,
that we once told you in this col
umn that teachers shy away from ,
teaching 7th and Bth grades? .
i Well, we’re taking steps to cure
I that. Many teachers felt that I
I they did not know enough about .
children of that age. We put in a ,
special third area of teacher edu- •
cation just to train teachers for
i the 7th and Bth grades. What is •
more, we are asking the State i
Board of Education for 854,000 to <
set up workshops next summer ।
to help teachers with this special j
■ problem. You will be happy to j
I learn that' when your children j
j get into these grades we are go- j
> ing to have more and more well ■
qualified teachers there waiting
■ for them.
GRAIN IN STORAGE
I i
Grain in storage should be fumi- >
, gated to kill the various insect ■
pests which destroy the grain or |
’ make it unfit for human con- i
sumption, says Dr. C. R. Jordan, •
' I entomologist. Agricultural Exten- ;
1 sion Service. Fumigation kills ■
I the insects that are present but
j does not protect the grain from
! reinfestation. Grain should be
inspected frequently to determine
if and when additional fumiga
tions are needed.

REA Program in .
Georgia, Nation
The fa^- flung rural electrifi- ?
cation program, which has revolu
tionized life on the American
farm, received another pat on
the back at the recent annual
' REA Appreciation Day, held in
: Cairo.
j Many dignitaries at the riation
i al, state and local levels, includ- j
I ing Georgia’s Senator Herman E. |
i Talmadge, House Speaker Sam
| Rayburn and other members of'
; the U. S. Congress, participated i
i in the day-long program which 1
| was highlighted by a 65-unit pa-;
rade.
One by one, they praised the i
electrification program which was |
born under the Roosevelt New'
! Deal administration. While he ।
| hailed REA’s contribution to farm i
life, Senator Talmadge took the j
occasion to lash out at the present
national administration’s agricul
tural policies which he declared
have brought depression to the
farm. On that point he said:
“Something must be done—and
done soon—to rescue the farmers
of this nation from the peril of
bankruptcy resulting from de
clining agricultural prices and in
creasing costs of all the farmer
has to buy.
“Farm income in 1956 was off
three per cent from that of 1955
and was 22 per cent below that of
1951, while purchasing power of
the dollar has dropped 22 percent
in the last ten years.
“When present farm income is
considered in the terms of pur
chasing power, it readily will be
seen that the farmer has been
grossly discriminated against in
comparison with other pursuits
in our economy. The gap is ever
widening between the income of
the farmer and the inflated prices
of what he has to buy.”
Stating that as long as other
segments of the economy receive
subsidies in one form or another,
the farmer cannot be left to shift
for himself, the senator empha
sized, adding “I favor 90 per cent
of parity for basic farm commodi- ■
ties.” 1
He said that as a member of ;

Ten More Yeors
Since 1940, ten years have been
added to life expectancy in the
United States, raising it to 70
years.
I This spectacular increase —
within so short a span - results
from the joint efforts of practicing
physicians, public health officials,
and pharmacists, supported by the
work of research scientists in the
pharmaceutical industry, govern-
ment agencies,
universities, and
private laborato
ries.
Drug discoveries
of recent years
have lowered the
cost of illness,
brought the sick
I back to health,
and kept millions out of hospitals
and early graves. Deadly menaces
such as polio, tuberculosis, pneu
monia, and many other infections
have been all but snuffed out as
major medical problems.
But these accomplishments are
only a forerunner of even greater
progress. When scientists conquer
the degenerative diseases, a life
span of over 100 years may be
possible in the United States? ac
cording to a spokesman of Chas.
Pfizer & Co., Inc., world’s leading
producer of antibiotics and dis
coverer of such drugs as Terra
mycin. . j
In the forefront in this battle
against disease are the nation’s
physicians. They are backed by
more than 100,000 community and
hospital pharmacists.
But in the years to come, the
U.S. will need even more pharma
cists. Science and education leaders
are being urged to interest career
minded teenagers in the profes
sion of Pharmacy during National
Pharmacy Week, October 6 to 12.
The rewards are many, ineluding
a secure financial future, commu
nity respect, and above all, the ac
complishment achieved in helping
others live longer, healthier lives.
In the years to come, that might
top 100 years.

mittee, “I will work for the reali
aztion of a national farm program
' that would assure our farmers
| their proper and fair share of the
i national income.”
Also coming in for sharp criti

1 national administration’s so
called “tight money” policy. But
1 on the subject of the Rural Elec
trification Administration, Sen- i
ator Talmadge was lavish in his
| praise of its over-all program.
j Said he:
“It is a happy exprience for me
’• to join enthusiastically with you
jin paying tribute to the good
' work accomplished over the last
'22 years by the REA. These three |
' words and all that they embody i
i have meant much- to every farm |
’ family in the United States.
‘They have brought a renais
' sance in living on the farm. I
i can say this with authority be
cause I was born and raised on a
! farm before REA and have lived
on the farm since REA, and I
have’seen from first-hand experi
ence the vast difference the ad
। vent of electricity has made in
farm operations and even in the
agricultural outlook itself.”
Mr., Miss Freshman

die Georgia College, Cochran, will

Now—a “do-it-yourself pole
barn has been placed on the
market. The new fire-safe build
ing is so low in price that it can
be purchased with a lower down
payment than required on a trac
tor. It can be erected by an un
skilled farm or ranch crew in a
few days.
Called the Stran-Master, man
ufactured by the Stran-Steel
Corporation, it comes in a wide
range of sizes and can be used
for stock-feeding shelter, dairy
loose-housing bam, machinery
storage, general utility or even
as a small all-purpose shed.
The “do-it-yourself” feature of
the all-steel Stran-Master is sim
ple and fool-proof. It has only 13
basic parts. No cranes or heavy
equipment are needed for erec
tion. All connections are made
through factory-drilled holes by
bolting.
