The committee’s bill exceeded last

The major increases were for schools,
the welfare department, the state

departments and agencies drew larg

The increase for schools, including

The increased appropriation for
the schools showed only partly in the
total inasmuch as an anticipated
$500,000 surplus from earmarked
school funds was counted on for the
next year. The ways and means bill
provided for a 15 per cent raise in
the pay of all the state’s teachers at
a cost of an additional $1,519,517 to
the present approximately $10,000,-
000 state aid for schools.
The money measure included a
proviso to permit state departments
and institutions to sell defense stamps
and bonds through payroll deductions
similar to those now used by many
business firms And industries.
YELLOW POPLAR NOW
IN GREAT DEMAND
As Mach As 9467.56 Per Thousand
Feet Being Paid for Some. .
Atlanta, Feb. 6. — The Office of
Price administration issued an appeal
today for high grade yellow poplar
timber, asserting that the v top price
has been increased by five times to
, encourage its cutting,
Some time ago, the price range on
poplar was $90 to $100 per 1,000 feet.
Today the price is $90 to $467.50 per
thousand feet.
Yellow poplar grows throughout
the Atlantic coastal and gulf regions
of the southeast, the OPA said, and
is critically needed in war produc
tion.
The War Production board will
give advice on getting timber cut
from any stands available, the OPA
said. Care was urged that, although
the need is critical there be no de
structive cutting.
