SERIES (Continued from needed: form of continuing education for its pupils: Credits transfer back to the girls' school when she returns after delivery. The majority of girls do return, which speaks for the success of the program. "We are becoming fully aware of more need than we are able to meet," Mr. Lasley said. "With evidence of success at the center, we certainly can justify continuation." Four teachers and a social worker comprise the center's staff.

A nurse is assigned there and a doctor holds a free clinic at the center each Monday for girls who will have their babies delivered in Marion County General hospital. Seminars are held weekly for group discussions, or a professional person may be invited to speak and participate in a question-answer period. A lawyer, for example, may be called upon to a discuss paternity and the. problems related to putative fathers. Eleven Indianapolis agencies support the learning center.

(EDITOR'S NOTE; The last article of the continuing education program series for teen-age mothers will deal with possible suggestions and solutions that a group of concerned citizens in Bartholomew county have discussed and outlined for a continuing education program in Columbus.) (Continued from Page 1) Peters added that his would explain the that the rate for next year will problems facing the reach the limit. and note that the board School Superintendent Clarence Robbins told The Republic the school system will be operating on a very tight budget next year because of the failure of the 1971 General Assembly to develope a new taxation plan that would give more state funds to local schools. He said the system would remain $4.95 limit, allocal: school, though some programs might have to be cut in order to do so. Prefacing the board's final two proposals by stating that "we (the board) are up against the wall," board President Edwin Darlage offered, the plan fare committee as well as a pro-1 accepted welgram calling for a $35 increase in the CEA salary proposal and a $5,000 life insurance plan, effective Jan. 1, 1972.

It was estimated that both programs would cost school corporation about the same amount of money, although the plan generally agreed on is about $2,000 more than the second suggestion. Ronald Peters, chairman of the welfare committee, declined to give the committee's endorsement of the proposal until the I plan could be discussed and supported by the teachers. He referred board members to the CEA counter proposal letter last week, which opposed the board plan 'for a' 4. per cent across-the-board salary increase based on the teachers; current salaries. The CEA letter countered the board's plan with a pro: posal for a $10,000 life insurance program, a tax sheltered annuity of $200 a year as well as.

the salary increases. The letter said, "If the board will approve this new economic proposal, we could recommend its acceptance to the teachers. We must state, however, that in good conscience it appears impossible for us to lend our support to any proposal calling for less. We feel that we would have to take any lesser proposal to the teachers with our recommendation for rejection." The plan developed is less than the CEA proposal, but welfare committee members said they would leave the decision of final acceptance or rejection up to the teachers on Friday. Mr.

School's OutFor Students Summer break begins today for all students in the Bartholomew Consolidated School corporation here. Classes were scheduled to he dismissed at regular times for the nearly 3-month vacation period. Teachers are expected to be working at the various schools Friday in order to prepare report cards, which will be sent to the students next week. School will resume on Sept. 2 for registration with first full day of classes on Sept.

If the new economic proposal is accepted by the CEA membership in the CHS cafeteria Friday, the school administration will begin preparing contracts that should be in the mail in about two weeks, according to Dr. Robbins.

He said the contracts should be signed by the teachers and returned within two weeks. CEA officials today said one of the best features of the new salary schedule is the 1972-73 schedule, which indicates a $240 salary increase from the present schedule for beginning teachers with a bachelor's degree and a $430 increase for teachers with a master's degree and 17 years' experience. The new salary schedule takes effect Jan. 1, 1972, and the insurance program starts Sept. 1, 1971.

Due to the delay in the effective date of the salary schedule, CEA spokesmen said the salary increases are not as large as some statistics indicate. Basically, the new plan is about a 5 per cent increase in teachers' salaries. Some teachers would not receive as large pay increases as some fellow teachers. For, instance, the increase for a 5-year teacher with a master's degree is $48 over the present system. This does not count the built-in $400 yearly salary increase under the present pay system making total of $9,148 under the new plan for 1971-72 school year.

Commenting on the negotiations, Mr. Peters today said, "We feel that good -relations have been maintained and both sides have shown a sense of responsibility and a spirit of cooperation." School board President Darlage and other board members made similar statements during the Wednesday night meeting. "We cannot say that we are satisfied with this package since it does not meet cost of living increases," Mr. Peters added. "We recognize that the board, like many of us, counted on the General Assembly to accept their rightful responsibility of providing for the educational needs of this state.

We have been hampered in our efforts because of their failure to act responsibly." Originally, the CEA proposed a $705,500 program containing money for an advanced salary schedule, sabbatical leave, tax sheltered annuity and group life insurance. The group later cut that amount to $397,000 and deleted the advanced salary schedule and sabbatical leave in order to come closer to the board's $260,000 overall offer. Total cost to the school corporation for the final proposal is estimated to be $347,000. Dr. Robbins reminded board and CEA officials that the administration must begin preparing a budget for next year and it would be difficult to draw up the plan if the salary schedule remains undetermined.

The school corporation must have the budget ready for legal advertisement by the first week in August. Seymour Man Dies at Home SEYMOUR Tipton A. Richardson, 82, of 1010 Shields avenue, retired employe of the Naional Veneer company and operator of the first motorized taxi service in Seymour in 1919, died Wednesday at his residence. Mr. Richardson retired from the veneer company in 1959.
