E. A. are engag- ed actively in contacting the school | boards throughout the county in an effort to secure salary increases for underpaid teachers, it was disclosed by Joseph C. Sandy, Lilly, president of the branch, in an address at the annual banquet of Cambria County District 2 of the P. S. E. A. Thurs- | day night in the Old Ebensburg Inn, Ebensburg. Sandy informed more than one hundred teachers at the affair that the organization had been instrumen- tal in securing increases for teachers in more than a score of districts in the county and officers now are nego- tiating with many other boards. The officer also revealed that Dr. Arthur M. Stull, Cambria County Su- perintendent of schools, is assisting the organization in its drive to secure salary adjustments. Dr. Stull and P. S. E. A. officers have aranged to meet any board at the latter's re- quest. “Most boards in Cambria County are sympathetic to the teacher and seem willing to meet requests but are unable to do so immediately be- cause of lack of finances,” he declar- ed. The speaker also announced that the P. S. E. A. has mapped out legis- lation for the benefit of teachers to be introduced during the January session of the State Legislature. In brief remarks, Dr. Stull inform- ed the teachers that his office will not assist them in securing pay for the period the schools were closed down last September during the in- fantile paralysis epidemic. He stress- ed that the teachers should be satis- fied with the compromise made by the State Department of Public In- struction in reducing the school term from the regular 180 days to 170 days. He admitted that the numwer of days lost by teachers throughout the county varied from 14 to 25, but said that through the compromise they will be paid for ten days that they will not work. However, he left the situation entirely in the hands of the | teachers in their respective districts and emphasized that his office would make no effort to influence the action of the teachers in demanding pay for | the days lost, but declared that the office would not take a stand in the interest of the teachers. Rev. John Hubert Stanton, pastor of Westmont Presbyterian Church, presented an enlightening talk on curent conditions and said that the fegling of sincere love for our fellow- men must be revived if this country is to survive after the war. Brief remarks also were given by Miss Clara Shryock, assistant county superintendent of schools, and F. Lee Myers, Twin Rocks, president of the district, who served as master of cer- emonies. Reports of the state P. S. | E. A. convention held last December in Harisbhurg were submitted by Web- ster Mann, Blacklick township, the district's delegate. | SPANGLER POLICE TO APPLY ENFORCEMENT ON SPEEDING AND DOG LAWS IN BOROUGH Fast drivers and dog owners were warned in a double-barrelled order issued last Friday afternoon by Mi- chael E. Whalen, Spangler Borough Chief of Police. Whalen announced that borough speed laws will be strictly enforced starting Monday, and followed that statement with another—that the borough dog law will be enforced. Speed limit is 25 miles per hour in the central part of the borough, with 35 miles per hour permitted in the north and south districts. Whalen pointed out that a number of acci- dents have occurred in Spangler due to fast driving and said he believes strict enforcement will have a defin- ite effect in lowering the accident rate. All dogs found running loose in the borough will be killed, Chief Whalen said. He pointed out that a number of stray dogs have been running loose | in the borough recently damaging the gardens and valuable shrubbery. ASK THREE QUESTIONS AND STOP RUMORS Washington. Next time some stranger offers to tell you “what re- ally happened” at Pearl Harbor or elsewhere, just ask him: 1-—Who he is: demand his creden- tials. 2-——Where he got his facts. Make him produce them. 3—Why he is telling his tale to you. These rules for handling rumor- mongers, recently enunciated by Lieut. Cmdr. Thomas J. Keane, U. S. N., usually work, a naval intelligence | officer says. If the man “bending your ear” is a fifth columnist, the first question may shut him up. If he's an innocent dupe of a Fifth Columnist, the sec- ond probably will stymie him, for the rumor mongers seldom can trace the origin of their rumors. The third, if pressed, is a sure tongue-tier. Earmarked “Am I good enough for you?” said the fond swain. “No,” said the girl candidly, “you are not, but you're too good for any other girl.” PAGE FIVE Nr (3 HUH] SHAVE 7] Means MORE Time 114 OUTDOORS! | Select comfortable, attractive outdoor furniture for your porch and lawn if you want your family to get plenty of fresh air and sunshine.
