Teacher Strikes Seen On
Increase Through Nation
Bjr GENE BERNHARDT
WASHINGTON (TPTt — School
bells may go unheeded by
thousands of teachers and pu-
pils across the nation next
month.
According to the two giant
teachers unions, the National
Education Association and the
American Federation of Teach-
ers, present conditions portend
as many as 400 elementary and
high school teachers strikes
this school year, more than
three times the record 126
walkouts of last year.
Spokesmen for the two
groups said there is “a strong
possibility” of strikes at the
opening of school next month
in St. Louis, Philadelphia, East
St. Louis, 111., New Orleans and
Wilmington, Del.
In addition, the NEA said 35
suburban area schools in Mi-
chigan, mainly near Detroit,
face the same strike threat
along with isolated rural dis-
tricts in Colorado, Oklahoma,
Idaho, New Hampshire and
South Dakota.
"We anticipate there will be
about 50 strikes when schoolcent, or 643,268 teachers, have
starts with another 300 to 350
spread throughout the rest of
the school year,” the NEA
spokesman said.
Neither the AFT or NEA
could estimate the number of
teachers and students affected
except to say it would run into
the tens of thousands.
Sixteen states have, since
1959, written laws giving teach-
ers some form ot collective
bargaining.
The NEA. with its 1.2 million
members, said nearly 80 per

won bargaining recognition con-
tracts from local school boards
and the AFT, with 164,000 mem-
bers, said 100,000 of its mem-
bers are under a contract ar-
rangement,
The AFT. which is affiliated
with the AFLOO, has a policy
of ‘"no contract, no work” which
touched off scores of last year's
strikes. The NEA is not affili-
ated with other labor groups.
NEA Gets Tough
As restless young teachers
started signing up in growing
numbers with the more aggres-
sive AFr. die NEA started
taking a tough stand, calling
its members out on strike in
record numbers last year.
The NEA formerly relied on
sanetions which merely urged
teachers not to work in certain
, school districts or even an en-
ure slate.
The most publicised factor in
a teacher strike is the salary
: issue, but both Die NEA and
AFT said that is only one rea-
I son and in some cases not the
i major reason for a strike.
I “Teachers want a voice in tlie
1 operation of the school system
j w here they believe youngsters
! are not getting the level of
> education they deserve.” said
an NEA spokesman.
•'The whole militant tone of
• society today, with tin* civil
! rights and peace protests, is
i reflected in teaching." be said.
’ They're protesting against
outdated. even condemned
. buildings and against operating
j big city schools under a system
1 bat was devised years ago to
i serve rural needs."
The AFT identified two basic
causes for strikes.
“Teachers want tiie right to
J bargain collectively and they
want a work contract just as
• any other American worker re
: presented by a union has," a
spokesman said

Dear Helolse:
Not so long ago you wrote
about professional carpet care.
I wonder how often you recom-
mend having carpets celaned
by professionals?

I know that the National In-
stitute ot Rug Celaning used to|
| recommend that rugs and car- j
! pets be cleaned at least once a
! year.
1 asked about this the other
day while talking with their
staff members and it was
, agreed that the rule is now out-
dated. As the majority of car-
pets are now' being made with
| man-made fibers (and tufted,
at that), the rule no longer
holds true.
Today, a housewife has to
judge her celaning needs by
the appearance of her carpet.
If it loks dingy and gray (es-
pecially in the traffic areas) it
probably needs cleaning. (Call
in a professional cleaner and
find out.t
Don’t wait too long after it j

J types of soil (oily or greasy > *
will often stick to a fiber and

' permanent damage
A knowledge of chemistry is
necessary to know how to care
for new fibers produced by
chemical industries. So when I
have a carpet problem, I call!
in die experts.

The 10-year-old daughter of

this summer and had it in a
cast above her knee down to
her foot.
Her mother solved the pro-

There was a time when Texas, Hie largest beef
producing state In the nation, had to ship cattle
elsewhere for finishing. But not any more. Feed
lots dot the rural areas of Texas to feed Texas
cattle. With scientific blending of feeds, these
lota put incredible percentages of weight gain on
rattle. Much of the work is done electrically.
Some lota are almost completely automatic. Co-
operative electricity loads the bins, grinds and
mixes the feed and often sends it to the eating
troughs with belts, pulleys and screws. The mem-
ber-owned DeWitt County Electric Cooperative
by furnishing a low-cost dependable supply of
electric power has made such installations com-
mercially feasible. This It just ene of many ways
the DeWitt County Electric Cooperative Is Help-
ing Texas Grow.
