The Appropriation Com-
mittee has a biH under con-
sideration to appropriate $1,-
662,670,000, or so much
thereof as may be necessary
from the general fund of the
State of Texas to be used for
increasing the salaries of
teachers in state aid schools
for the rest of the school
year 1942-1943. The salary
schedule now in force and ef-
fect shall be used as the ba-
sis for increases provided,
however, in unaccredited
schools the base pay shall be
$95.00 per month for the re-
maining number of months
of the current school term.
In view of the fact that hun-
dreds of teaching vacancies
now exist in state aid schools
and cannot be filled, and in
view of the further facts
that many schools in rural
sections of the state have
closed because of the short-
age of teachers since Sep-
tember 1, 1942, the Legisla-
ture must give serious con-
sideration to the continued
uninterrupted operation of
our state school system. We
must provide for an equal-
ized salary teacher schedule
and maintain high teaching
standards.
As a representative, I am
deeply concerned with pro-
viding adequate care for our
schools, public institutions,
aged citizens, dependent chil-
dren, and not allow the war
emergency to result in neg-
lect to these social and eco-
nomic problems.
Members of the Legisla-
ture are placed in many
straight-jacket positions on
public problems. One hun-
dred and fifty persons are
elected from various coun-
ties to represent tiie btale
of Texas. A member can
consider himself or herself
as a state or local legislator
or representative or senator
of a certain county or dis-
trict. The! eloie a member

Tuesday at Loon
The
ilig of
regular weekly meet-
tl.e Li ns Ciub was

bers and gui.-.ts present.
The program committee

the plan for a united one
minute of silent prayer had
taken the matter up with the
different churches of the
town and everywhere it had
been very favorably received.
The hour suggested was 7

would be more easily ob-
served by every one. The
Club voted unanimously to
cooperate in the observance
of the movement.
Lion Welch also reported
to the Club on the amount
raised thus far for the Red
Cross and stated that more
was expected by the time the
