State Teachers Association says
that the Legislature’s 554 dollar
pay hike for public school in-
structors will help but will not
cure the teacher shortage.
In an editorial in the Texas
Outlook, the organization’s offi-
cial publication, TSTA Executive
Secretary Charles H. Tennyson
says:
“It looks like another mad
scramble for teachers this year,
without an apparent solution in
sight.”
Tennyson said that by mid-
July the Teacher Registration
Service had fewer teacher appli-
cants for a larger number of
teaching applicants than at the
same time last year.
This year 1.951 vacancies have
been listed by superintendents
using the TSTA Job Placement
service but only 450 applications
for jobs have been received.
The TSTA figures show a sur-
plus of teacher applicants only
in social studies. There are only
four math teachers registered
for 198 vacancies and 30 science
teachers available for 127 vacan-
cies. Other shortages include
vacancies in physical education.

he investigated a burglary re-

coastal city.
Emerson and his partner—
James Hutchins, arrived at the
scene and Emerson went down

Huitchins said he heard three
shots and a Negro man appeared
in the alley holding a .38-caliber
police special pistol. Hutchins
disarmed the man and he was
taken to headquarters for ques-

No charges were filed imme-
diately. Officers said the man
gave his residence as Galena

Officers said Emerson’s gun
was found out of its holster but
it had not been fired.

DETROIT. (A.).—Michigan’s
Governor George Romney says
he hopes to have all National
Guardsmen and state police out
of here by early next week.
All Federal troops which were
called in during the racial vio-
lence already have left.
Romney also said that if the
situation continues to go
smoothly he’ll also end the state
of emergency in Detroit.
Romney was asked at his news
conference whether he thought
there had been an undue delay
on the part of Detroit officials in
asking for National Guard help.
An ambitious 1907-68 program
of work for the Ennis Chapter,
Young Farmers, has been select-
ed.
The record - size chapter has
chosen a principal project for
each month.
Here is the year’s agenda:..
August—Cotton Defoliation. '
Youth Appreciation Week, Re-
spect for Law, Support of Cub
Scout, Swimming Pool, Youth
Baseball, Oratorical Contest,
Club Bulletin, among other local
projects which may arise.
“In order to reach these goals
and abjectives the club must
have the continued support of
the community as in the oast,”
said President Layne Ballard,
“The club is grateful for the
good support financially it re-
ceives year after year. The main
money making project each year
is the Carnival which will be
held this year Aug. 24-25-26 on
Main Street up town. The Carni-
val plans include games for
every age, rides, as well as musi-
cal entertainment by the Sound-
sasions each evening on stage.
There will be the annual
auction of merchandise donated
by local merchants, the main at-
traction being the prizes to be
given away nightly at 10:00
sharp. The prizes include 50 dol-
lars cash Aug. 24 and 25 and a
25-inch Admiral Color TV set
the 26th.
Carnival Chairman Charlie
Muirhead and President Ballard
urged all possible assistance and
backing to make the Carnival
a success.

The report raises the num-
ber of Americans killed in com-
bat so far to 12,269.
A Viet Cong bombardment on
a US Navy base and fuel storage
depot near here has wounded 24
Americans—none seriously—
and set afire some 275,000 gal-
lons of gasoline. The attack
came early today in the N h a
Be fuel dump and base ten mil-
es southeast of here. Reports
from the scene say three South
Vietnamese Navy men—o n e
woman and two children also
were injured in the attack.
The death count in the
“Forrestal” fire has risen to
131. The latest fatalities are two
men who died in hospitals in
Vietnam. Three others are still
unaccounted for.
South Vietnam’s presidential
campaign officially begins to-
day. And a leading candidate
for vice president has kicked
things off by calling for de-es-
calation of the war and nego-
tians with the Viet Cong. The
candidate—Phan Quang Dan—
proposed negotiations with the
communists at all levels includ-
ing the 'National Liberation
front. The NLF is the political
arm of the Viet Cong.
The annual Ennis Optimist
Carnival, later this month, is the
backbone of numerous civic pro-
jects of the club, as both work
and funds are necessary for most
undertakings.
What are some of the objec-
tives of the Ennis Optimist Club
and Optimist International? The
main objectives are Boys Work
and Community Service.
The local club has a present
membership of 29. The club this
year plans to have a net increase
in membership of 25.
The projects which will be ex-
tended, along with present pro-
jects, will be Bike Safety Week,

Perhaps you’ve been reading
and enjoying the good news
about a number of Ennis men
who are giving fine accounts of
themselves in the military serv-
ices of our country, both abroad
and in the states. Fine records
are being established—and the
News will appreciate it if rela-
tives of those who receive hon-
ors will advise us, so that,
through the columns of this
journal, their friends can be
told of their recognition . . .
And we wish it known that with
® every one of these write-ups,
goes this paper’s warm congratu-
lations and appreciation! . . .
Ennis has always had a splendid
record for patriotism and for
protection of the freedoms so
dear to us.

PROPOSED TAX PLAN’S EFFECT
WASHINGTON—Under the President’s new tax proposals, a
family of four with an income of $10,000 would have to pay
$9.25 a month more—or $111 more a year.
Such a family pays about $1,100 a year federal income tax.
Taxpayers in the lowest income would be exempt completely
from the surcharge. For example, a married couple with two
children, with an income of less than $5,000 a year, would pay
no surcharge.
Families whose incomes are below $10.000—that is three out
of every four—would pay between a few cents and nine dollars
a month more.
