Board members recessed their meeting late Monday night when they were unable to complete all of the items on the agenda for the regular monthly board meeting. Earlier, the Board adopted a salary schedule providing an increase of $300 for beginning teachers, and a $700 boost for teachers with 15 years or more of service. The beginning salary was $3600 and the top salary $5700. This schedule, however, was rejected by the Alpine Education Association. In a letter to Alma P. Burton, superintendent, the A. E. A.'s executive board described the salary schedule as "quite unrealistic". Signed by Clifton M. Pyne, AEA board president, the letter from board stated "We the cannot see our way clear to accept the salary schedule as offered." The AEA is composed of some 400 teachers, or virtually 100 per cent membership of the teachers in the district. The AEA executive board has asked for a beginning salary of $3800 for teachers with bachelor degree, with annual increases to a salary of $6000 as the teacher entered the 12th year of experience. Mr. Pyne's letter stated, in part: "It was the clear intent and purpose of the late legislature to . provide substantial increases in teachers' incomes, as shown in the reports of debates in the legislature and of members since the close of the session. "The difference between the AEA and Alpine Board of Education can seemingly be reduced to a simple proposition: The Alpine Board of Education appears to be committeed to a design of using for other purposes money made available by the legislature for the improving of the status of teachers. "The AEA executive board takes vigorous exception to having the board expect them to underwrite or be in any way responsible for, commitments which do not properly come within their purview. It is our view that the Board is charged with the spending of the district's money, the teachers should be given the right unhindered to spend theirs, and that intended for them : : : "We still feel strongly about the manner in which this proposed schedule was called to public attention without our having had a chance to discuss it or even look it over. "We feel disturbed about what appears to us to be the policy of the Board of Education to consider welfare of teachers as one of the least of its concerns. We cannot agree that all other de Queen tryouts for the Pleasant Grove Strawberry Day celebration will be held at the Pleasant Grove arena, Thursday, May 30, at 7:30 p. m.

The day will be Poppy Day, when once each year, we of America pay tribute to those who gave their lives in America's service during the World Wars. Mrs. Ira Racker is Poppy Day chairman in the local organization of the American Legion Auxiliary. Members of this group will contact the homes and distribute the poppies, made by disabled veterans. There is no set price, give what you desire, is stressed. The bright red poppy you'll be invited to wear on Poppy Day, is a replica of the Flanders' Field poppy of World War fame. It is America's way of commemorating its war dead, from Argonne to Korea. It is a way to help America's disabled veterans to take care of their own families. So don't let the annual parade of paper poppies pass YOU by. Wear one, as a practical way to give to those who gave for you. These men did not need your help when they sailed to war in 1917, in the 1940's or to Korea ten years later. But now they can use a helping hand. Over 500,000 disabled veterans were still hospitalized last year. Give as generously as you have received. It means much to many.
