OUR CHILDREN ARE LOSERS
Better educational opportunities for the children
of South Carolina are predicted upon better teaching
and improved school facilities.
For that reason the fight that is being waged, not
only in South Carolina, but in many other states for
high salaries for teachers is of ge“uine importance and
interest to the parents of children.
" For it is the children, not the teachers who really
lose out if the state fails to make a realistic approach
to our educational needs. The teachers will solve their
own personal financial problems by slipping away
from the teaching profession and i“to something they
can at least make a living wage at, or by moving into
some-state 'where the value of education is better
.realized.
Inadequate salaries beget inferior and inade
quate teaching. As a result the children miss educa
tional opportunities. The state becomes a loser be
cause of depressed educational opportunity. No mat
ter from what angle you look at it, the state is no
greater than the character of its citizenship.
To get down to brass tacks, it is up to the parents
to carry the fight for increased appropriations for
schools. If South Carolina is to be developed, it must
be through our boys and girls who today are. being
educated in our sdhools. They should have the best of
teachers a^d the best of teachers can be obtained only
through increased appropriations for schools. If the
pay is small, naturally the best teachers, teachers of
ambition and skill, are going to seek jobs where they
can receive salaries commensurate with, their qualifi
cations. ^
IVs up to you, citizens of South Carolina. Contact
-your delegation NOW and insist that they back the
program for increased salaries for teachers.
REPORT TO THE CITIZENS
The Chronicle desires to confer medals of ap
preciation on the Kershaw county delegation and the
city of Aiken. First to the Kershaw group of Ken
nedy, Arrants and Jones for arranging to conduct
public hearings each month in order that the citizens
may appear and discuss community problems with the
lawmakers. Second to the city of Aiken for printing
a financial report each month in the Aiken newspaper.
Also will go a monthly police report showing the
amount of fines collected from offenders. The Chron
icle believes that the public is entitled to know the
financial condition of the municipality and endorses
the Aiken plan.
NOT A BAD IDEA
The Chronicle has been a.sked to suggest to the
postal authorities that a mail box be placed on the
sidewalk in front of the post office for the benefit of
those who wish to mail letters. There are nuiny older
people who find the climb up the post office .steps a
real burden and they would appreciate a mail box on
the street. "
NO DOUBLE CHARGE
Many thousand.s of .sports fans will rejoice that
the South Carolina legislature has been requested to
investigate the double charge made at football games
held d.uring State Fair week. But, if things run true to
form, sports fans had better get busier than the power
politicians who, doubtle.ss, are already on the job. If
you feel the charge to get into the first gate to the
fair grounds, where the games are played, should be
taken off, speak to members of the delegation. They,
and they alone, can help.—Mullins Enterprise.

HELPS TO KEEP
YOUR TELEPHONE RINfilNG.
It takes a lot of folks with telephone know-how to
keep our program of improving service moyipg
along at a record pace in South Carolina.
More new employees than ever before are being
trained in telephone classrooms, and on the job, as
operators, installers, maintenance and business of
fice employees. More skilled people are necessary
because the job of providing service is growing
tremendously.
It takes time but, despite the handicaps, South
Carolina telephone folks are in the thick of things,
learning and working to make your service bigger
and better. Real progress is being made every day!
