Local Guernsey is sale topper “Myrtledale’s Star Harbor”, a two year old registered Guern sey cow was indeed the “Star” at the 6th Annual Southern Quality Guernsey Sale held on August 18 at Rougemont, N. C. When the din of the spirited Auction bidding finally settled, this illustrious young cow had “Topped” the sale at $2,550. “Star” was bom and bred at Myrtledale Farm, Route 4, own ed by Mr. and Mrs. Marvin J. Hamm and Sons, Perry and Bennett. Formerly owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Hawkins, Myrtledale Farm pioneered in the use of annual grazing and artificial breeding. Star is an artificially sired daughter of Edisto Farms Flash Star, one of the most promi nent bulls of Guernsey breed. Her dam, Myrtledale’s Fum Host, is still in the Myrtledale herd, and is one of the top pro ducing cows of the herd. A full sister to “Star” is also still in the Myrtledale herd. Two other Guernsey cows con signed by Myrtledale Farm sold well above the sale average. The Southern Quality Sale is one of the top annual Guernsey sales of the nation. Guernsey Breed Associations of seven southeastern states sponsor the sale. This year’s Southern Qual ity Sale included 55 head of carefully selected registered Guernseys from throughout the Southeast. With its good management and well planned breeding pro gram, Myrtledale Farm has be come one of the leading Guern sey herds of the Southeast. The strong demand for Myrtledale Guernseys at leading auctions is ample proof of this fact.

Teachers get pay increase Teachers in the county will get a pay increase for the com ing year as the result of a re cent decision by the County Board of Education. The Board had approved a budget for next year which did not specify a teacher salary in crease. A nine-mill tax increase has since been adopted, in add ition to the transfer of one mill to school operations. With the tax increase, funds will be generated to finance the teacher salary increase. The cost of the pay increase, which will vary based on teaching ex perience, type of degree and national teacher examination score is about $56,000. The increase in the teacher local pay supplement will equal revenue derived from a four- mill tax increase. dies Saturday Miss Victoria Boozer, 85, died late Saturday night at the Mar ion Memorial Hospital in Mar ion after a lingering illness.
