No general salary increase has been given our teachers for several years. , 3.

A small salary increase would make the teachers! feel that their services are really appreciated." The recommendation was approved, and $200,000 was appropriated 8 for salaries for the year This amount is $13,000 more than spent in the past year.

This village had no band, but it entertained high hopes that someday it would have one. Accordingly plans were set in motion and those men in town who had the necessary shekels were coaxed into the idea and got behind the plan. A leader was hired and he set a certain evening for the try outs. Pkollo players, clarinet players were and trombone contortionists asked to contribute their talents and anyone else who could play the harmonica or accordian were asked to join. Thus it came about that on the evening set apart a goodly portion cT the population were on hand to exhibit their A Missing Girls Return, Find Friends and I Parents Worried Over "Disappearance" . j.
