Teacher Remuneration Should Be Published Annually 26 Grocery or meat market 27 Pet dog (ab.) 30 Consent 32 Ahead 34 Teeter 35 Wipes out 36 Worm March 14, I960. Editor, Naugatuck Dairy News. Mayor Mengacci is to be congratulated for his concern over itis current sciiool budget estimate. It's my an'l the opinion of many of that the Fi-iancs Board should hot restore one cent of the $100,000.00 cut until several discrep- incies arc cleared with the taxpayers. The well timed and well planned onslaught by of the various women's clubs in to restore the $100,000.00 cut is a crying shame, oven tiro it was probably instigated with the world's best best intentions.

Many of our people believe these untruths, half truths, omissions, and accept them as acknowledged fact. The truth of he mailer is that our teachers, with the exception of those in he starting brackets, are very well paid. And, if the cost of new schools, maintenance, interest, were placed where they in the contemplated town budget, erroneous belief (hat per capita expenditures on our chil- Iren's education is below the itate average would be promptly exploded. All parents wish to give their children the benefits of a Well education, but plush schools, pastel colors, proximity irivies. The State's best gymnasium, an unwarranted swimming )0ol and an extra $100,000.00 to slice up is not the answer.

Lead- ng educators are well aware that only a dedicated faculty can irouse a student's interest" and iciice.make a more apt and hot- or pupil. The city corporation lawyer of Hartford recently interpreted- Hio newly passed "Right to Neumann St. Know" law as encompassing the hitherto saccrosant school departments. This means that all its financial manipulations should be made readily available to the public- He especially stipulated that: "Teachers remuneration is of vital concern to taxpayars (who foot the bill), and should published annually." Only then can we judge whether individual salaries are, or are not, adequate. The people of this town are about fed up with the steady diet of pop that" is being spoon fed them by the Teachers League and the" Board of Education, who would do well to stop confusing our seeming apathy with acquies.

ence. We have always been generous (over generous, in fact) with our. sciiool departmental heads, and they fool only themselves if they believe that we (or the Finance Board) will fall fort-heir tired old dodge of submitting an outrageously inflated budget estimate in order to get exactly what they wanted in the first Taxes go up, up, up every year; salaries, maintenancs, interest, join the vicious never ending spiral. Now is the time to level off. If (as the taxpayers are being led to believe) the teachers of this town are poorly paid that they are in im- ixdnent danger of starvation, we should grant them a sensial.

increase and help shoo the wolves from their doors, but please, PLEASE no more heart rending sob stories and threats of petition from a highly pressurized group who obviously (with the exception of those in the starting brackets) "have it ixade." Sincerely, ALFRED F- HAPPY, Unrealistic Salary Increases March 14, 196 To the Editor The Naugatuck News: I have read with interest th comments of letter writers du ng the past several weeks rel -ive ito the restoration of the "ct if 5100,000" in the School Budge 'As happens many pe who are the authors communications do no lave the full facts. Many of thes etters have apparently bee vritten at request of schoi -oard members or school pe onnel and should 'be consk red as propaganda. I will attempt to clarify som the miifJeariing and distorte nformation which is currentl icing circulated. In order to ge firm understanding th chool department budget must remember that the 1959 930 budget for the School De artment amounted to nd the amount granted iby th ir.ance Board for 19GO-61 i 1,230,000, an increase from las ear of $78,000. With this in rease will be no curtai men! in educational benefits fo ur children.

In the increase 78,000, provision has been mad or an adequate salary )r teachers plus four nev eachers. A fiflh -teacher can bi btained through retirements esignationsin the School Depart Tent of teachers who are at 01 ear the top of their salan rackets, and the hiring of nev Metiers at a lower salary level 'he increase of $78,000 also in udcs adequate funds for K-hoo wration, textbooks, teaching ids, etc. Now lo fiel back (o the 5100,000 iiich was cut from the Schoo eparlment Budget proposal; we first understand that many of (he -town reques ore fund in their budget lhar actually necessary (o the op ration of the driparlmeirt. The School Department is no exccn tion. They have consistently lithe past submit led unrealistic budget proposals and that what i'- being done now.

The fi nance Board has no control ovei the way the School spends ils money. If Hie 5100,000 is available, it docs mil necessarily follow Hint our chil clren will receive bctler educa. lion, but you can be sure it will provide for salary increases ranging from Sl.COO a year to SI 300 a year for 16 teachers, S500 to $900 a year for 58 teachers, and, S200 lo S5CO for 62 teachers. It will also rovids for the creation of more clerical and po -t: of Assistant Principal of the High School, this job alone cost S7.700. The 15100,000 will he used to give a salary increase of $910 each lo four grammar sciiool (principals, making the total of those four princi- S37.000.

The Iliph School Principal and rfinninlnj; three school -principals will split a salary increase of $2.840 or an average of each. One cacher who holds Iwo jobs in lie school department 'will actu- illy Iwo pay raises for ii total of $1,084. The Board of -Education has cnnlimially rrtm-cd lo Ihe low education cost per pupil -and i would likc-lo feel (hat this is due some pnrl lo economy of operation in the school plant, but in the eyes of the School Board this is not so, and it is their intention to increase the cost per pupil by granting salary increases to teachers which are unrealistic and certainly out of line with good business procedure. I might add that these salary increase -proposals are not in line with salary schedules now in effect'in the School Department. The present salary sched- ulep rovides for a maximum salary be readied in eleven years and under the new system (if the School Department receives its $100,000) the salary will be reached in eight years.

The new schedule will place a further burden on taxpayers in coming years. tiie 5100,000 is granted to the School (Department average pay per teacher will ibe $6,200 and 80 out of 127 will receive between $6,500 to $8,100 per year The 1959-60 budget figiurcs an average salary per showed teacher of $5,700 with earning over with the top pay $7,100. In the 'Naugatuck News for March 12th the School Board announced that the $100,000 wanted las now been reduced to $75,855, 5Ut interesting part of the news item was the information that out of the $24,145 reduction only $9.520 was cut from teachers salaries while text books maintenance, repairs, utilities, fuel was cut $14,625. The School Board still feels that an issistant principal at $7,700 is necessary along with the new eacheR salary schedule. I would like to point oul that he entire budget as proposed by he Finance Board and Board of Mayor and 'Burgesses calls for an ncrease of the tax rale of 1 1-2 with -the 78,000 already given to the School Board our chools account for 1 1-4 mills of he 1 mill tax increases.

With he $75.855 additional request by he School Board a further ax increase of 1 1-4 mill? necessary, and the general verall tax increase will then go 2 3-4 mills of which 2 1-2 mills vill be due to increases in the School Budzet. The Public Meeting will be eld at the High School Cafeteria 8 p. m. March 16th and I hope here will be taxpayer-' present, to voice their displeasure -vcr these unrealistic salary in- reascs, which in themselves will ot provide for better education your children or tor mine. If you ifeel that the salary in- reases proposed nre earned and ustified, come to the public iceting and register your a.p- roval, lull let us first of all all the facts.

Poiillrymcn considered the busy illing as reliable a harbinger spring as any bluebird;" if THE DOCTOR SAYS Successful Hernial Surgery Involves Several Factors BI HABOLD THOMAS HVMAN, Written for NKA Strvioe. "What is the best way of.

treating hernias?" ask several correspondents. A hernia is merely a defect in a wall of body tissue. As (he term is usually used, it applies to a defect in the belly wall. Most abdominal hernias, to which these writers probably refer, occur in the region of the groin (inguinal and femoral hernias), at the belly button (umbilical 'lernias) or in a surgical wound (incisional hernia). While a small hernial defect may be defended by a properly titled brace or Jruss, it can only be properly corrected by surgical repair.

Although hcrniotomy, as it is called technically, is a relatively simple operative procedure, it will not be permanently successful unless certain conditions are thoughtfully observed. Recurrences are most apt to occur if the patient's tissues are veakened by flabby muscles and heavy fat deposits through which sustaining sutures tear. Consequently most experienced iurgeons suggest a course of conditioning and weight reduction )efore undertaking the repair, vhich must be done with the most scrupulous care if a permanent result is desired. Efforts to accomplish this same end with techniques of injection have been abandoned in most clinics. "IS IT HARMFUL, to chew tobacco or use snuff?" asks another group of correspondents.

While tobacco-chewing has not been related to lung cancer or blood vessel disease, as has smoking, it may lead to the development of malignant growths of the gums or cheeks, according to reliable British and Indian Snuff, as it is known today, is merely powdered tobacco. So far as is known, it is harmless. Whether the snuff inhaled by dandies in the Restoration era was equally harmless I am not qualified to say. Because of the elegance of snuffboxes, many of which are museum specimens, I have always suspected that they contained something more pow- erful than powdered tobacco. One possibility that suggests itself is some substance that produces the effect of cocaine.

"1)O YOU APi'KOVH of the injection of varicose veins?" Writes a dancer who is embarrassed by the appearance t)t her Ordinarily I am fearful of the injection of Iniiant solutions into blood vessels, no matter how carefully and skillfully the injections are made. In the case of the writer of this letter, whose livelihood depends partly on the appearance of her legs, I would certainly make an exception provided that the varicosities were relatively small and the injections were made by an experienced surgeon. With this and similar exceptions, I favor the use of protective stockings, now obtainable at small cost, reserving operative intervention for those who object to stockings and those who are unrelieved by them.
