As Anderson sat with his at-

apparent that he had suffered
a head injury. The BEE asked
Hardin County Sheriff Billy
Paine what had happened, and
he. explained that Anderson
had allegedly stood up quickly
from his desk in his cell, had
become dizzy, and had fallen to
the floor, struck his head.
"I and District Attorney
Stanley Coe took Anderson to
Hardin Memorial Hospital
where he received three stitch-
es from Dr. Eugenia Gauntt,”
Paine said. “Anderson was not
injured in a fall from his bunk
as some reports have stated,”
the Sheriff added.

Retroactive salaries for Sils- ruling

discussion at the School Board
meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 9,
iupt. Don L. Hough said this

Hough said Monday that he
had been informed by the TEA
that the Pay Board had author-
ized 1971-72 contract payments
—representing raises not ex-
ceeding seven percent—retro-
active to the start of the Presi-
dential Price Freeze in August.
‘The majority of our teachers
were affected by the freeze,”
Hough said, ‘and this recent pository.
will mean that all of
them so affected will he able
to receive the retroactive sal-
ary. No contract called for a
raise in excess of seven per-
cent."
Teachers we e granted their
contract raises from Nov. 14
when the. 90-da.v freeze ended.
Also set for discussion were
a number of resignations and
recommendations; proposed sale
