TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
BY BERNICE McCULLAR
Georgia Department of Education
HERE’S THE WAY THE
RAISE GOES —The teachers, who
get a S3OO annual raise next year,
will “begin to get $25 more with
their July checks. The bus driv
ers, who get a S2OO annual raise,
will get all of theirs this sum
mer in two checks; SIOO for July
and SIOO for August.
DOWN TO BUSINESS—Here’s
one of the best things the De
partment of Education* has plan
ned lately: a business center in
each of the Congressional dis
tricts, whereby 250 high school
graduates can take 8 weeks of
•intensive business training this
■summer. That means that busi
ness and industry throughout
Georgia willl have available 250
topflight secretaries this fall.
■Each class will be limited to 25
students. An expert teacher and
the latest in business machines
will give these recent high school
graduates a chance to get the
very best in business techniques.
Dalton Drennan is head of our
business education service, and is j
assisted by Miss Faye Pilkenton
and Dr. Zenogia Liles.
FRIEND FOR THE LITTLE
FELLOWS— Mrs. William Greg

of Education will be working
with the school sytems that plan'
programs for the trainable chil-1
dren. These are the little fellows;
whose IQ’s are so low that they |
cannot learn in the regular school
program, and can only be train-!

More Training for Rangers
Georgia’s wildlife rangers are probably the best
equipped and trained in the South.
Last year, prior to the Game and Fish Commis
sion’s inauguration of the Boating Act, more than
100 rangers undertook extensive and rigorous water
safety training and small boat handling in a week
long class.
This year, seven rangers were trained as
instructors of first aid by the American National
Red Cross at another weeklong school. These
men will in turn instruct their fellow rangers.
The seven picked rangers were shown various
treatments of simple abrasions and cuts and learned
“how to” methods dealing with broken backs, necks
and artificial respiration.
Rangers posed as “victims’ ’of broken arms, legs,
shock and burns, while the Red Cross instructor
pointed out the various ways of treatment now
in use.
They participated in the practicing of dif
ferent carries. If a person is suffering from a
broken neck, the mode of carry differs than if
he was afflicted with a broken leg.
The men also were taught splinting methods,
what to do for dislocated joints, lacerations and
fractures.
Each man was required to get up and speak on
one facet of the training course, while the Red
Cross instructor pointed out flaws or weaknesses in
the talk. He was given helpful hints on how r to get
his messag eacross to the audience through use of
charts and other visual aides.
Throughout this year and in years to come, wild
life rangers will be instructing first aid as prescribed
by the Red Cross.
Now. when rangers come across accidents
during their daily routine, not only will they
know what to do. but how to do it.
Yes, Georgia’s wildlife ranger force is the best
equipped of its kind in the South. Modern vehicles,
boats, two-way radios and other mechanical means
all make their work easier.
But most important of all, they are now
equipped to help save lives.

WHEN MUST TEACHERS RE
TIRE? We are always being
asked at what age teachers MUST
retire. It’s seventy. If the super
intendent is in dire need, he may
keep them to 73, but they can
not have a contract after 73.
Some cf them teach a day or
two at a time, but they cannot
accept a contract for the year.

4 of our 198 school systems in

New Activity In
Housing Loans
The farm housing loan pro-,

ministration is picking up new|
momentum, not only throughout
the Nation, but here in Telfairi
md Wheeler Counties.
That’s the word from Herman
T. Langley, county supervisor in
charge of the agency’s lending
program here. He said this re
newed farm housing loan activi
ty follows the early February
l! announcement that an additional

much of this type of construction
necessary to cope with changing
agricultural conditions.
Mr. Langley pointed cut that
byproducts of this loan program
include employment of carpen
ters and other skilled and un
skilled labor, and increased
business for concerns that handle
building materials and equip
ment items.
Eligible to borrow are owners
of farms that annually will pro
duce at least S4OO worth of com
modities for sale or home use
based on 1944 prices, but who
cannot be adequately financed
through other sources.
