Nearly 800 school officials and sludenls are here for the annual sessions of the West Virginia Association of Secondary School Principals, the All-State Chorus and (he All-State Band. "Approximately 300 principals opened their meeting last night. The 375 students arc rehearsing for a joint concert scheduled tomorrow night.

This week is quite unusual In the modern history of Buckley. On Monday night followers of the Woodrow Wilson High School Flying Eagles celebrated not winning the basketball championship after four triumphant years. "Celebrated" is used advisedly no Beckloy team has ever received warmer and more geniiine praise for good work on the hardwood than the Flying Eagles which lost a decision 'in the first round of the stale tournament in Huntington. And as Beckley away for a time (he pennants heralding "the city of champions," the chamber of commerce starts compiling statistics to point to a "city of conventions" rating. The sessions of the three school groups are only the beginning of a busy' summer session for Bccklcy, Perhaps it is appropriate that Bcckley's Jcickoff of the convention city should find the school people in the game-one of tht hottest games of their careers.

the school lea'ders are weighing their many problems in convention sessions, Jeaders of Ihe West Virginia Legislature are offering plans of taxation which they believe will lead to'higher pay for teachers. House Speaker W. E. Flannery will advocate an extension, of the 2 per cent consumers' sales lax to utility bills and of the gross tax law's 30 per cent surtax to retailers, water companies, contractors and services. Senate President Ralph J.

Bean has said he still favors an increase to 3 per cent in the consumers' sales tax, one of the three tax programs for financing higher nay which met with failure in Ihe regular legislative session. Executive Secretary Phares E. Reecler of the West Virginia Education Association has declared that Flanncry's "won't do Ihe job." "Our problem," Heeder added, "is one that's far greater than a simple increase in salary, ft is lliat of attracting to and holding in classrooms good ieachers. We feel that nothing less lhan the $2,700 minimum salary for degree holders, with Ihe added experience increment, will do the job." The eight million dollar first year increase favored by the WVEA would raise Ihe starting salary for degree holders from $2,340 lo $2,700 a year. The association has advocated a four- year pay increase program under which the added cost would reach 17 million dollars Ihe fourth yenr.

These are only a few of the major problems the schooj principals in Beckley will discuss. Specifically, they are concerned with (he over-all, routine operations which must go on--with or without a pay raise. But with all their big problems, we feel ccrlain the days taken away from their official posts and spent in Beckley's in-' vigorating mountain air will bo of great benefit lo them and to West Virginia's school system.

The figure, from one firm, gives some idea of the gathering momentum of the whole atom program. Next August, in Geneva, Switzerland, 81 nations will meet in a great "atoms-for-peacc" conference.

Hafstad has warned that the Europeans will be "very aggressive." Beckley has been spared, for most part, from one of the most' deteslable of all rackets worked againsl the public-the phony charity. Elsewhere, 'unscrupulous persons have found that it can be highly profitable to appeal lo the generosity and lhe natural concern that good people have for those who are less fortunate. The bad effects of ihese fake charities are many. They drain off money that is sorely needed by legitimate charities; they enrich evil men the expense of good men. The.

unfavorable impression that is created by the exposure of fradulent charities sometimes makes the public cynical and less willing lo contribute to worthy causes. Al the second annual National Conference on Solicitations, held in Cleveland, a number of rules of guidance for donors were formulated. Contributors were advised lo check the merits of each appeal; 16 resist and be suspicious of high pressure methods; to ask for identification from solicitors ami to the police those who refuse (o provide it; refuse charity appeals made over the telephone; to hold for a reasonable time, but not use, unordered Intelligent Giving merchandise; lo demand proof that a donation is tax deductible; to seek advice from competent agencies such as the Chamber of Commerce or Bctlcr Business Bureau whenever there is reason to doubl the legitimacy of an nppetit. The person who really wishes lo help those who need it must do more thnn hand oul money. He must make certain that his gift is used for lhe purpose for which it was intended.

Indiscriminate giving accomplishes nothing except to perpetuate vicious rackets. Briefly Speaking This is Ihe season of the long form, the short form, problem form. All of which make us wonder what is wrong with paying income tax on what is left after the tax is paid? 0 tyost golfers don't have to worry about squirrels on the green.

From Seville to Neville-Barbers Have Changed -By Clinrlcs L.

A man's best friends used to be his barber and his bartender. Between the two of them he could unburden his soul, lighten his heart, gladden his palate and raise his self-esteem. And ten will get you two that most Becklcv barbers can't even tell you what 'the initials SPBSQS stand for. And bartenders arc species of a long ago past, memory of the day of pretzels and (he free lunch counter at the corner saloon. At (he risk of getting a too short haircut I'll even wager that Ihe Barbers of Neville never heard of the Barber of Seville! 'I'm sure if they hadr that they'd know thnt SPBSQS-- which really is a nationwide organualion- stsr.d.-, for "The Society for the Preservation of Barbershop Quartette Singing." Barbershops also used to be a place of refuge for the male wherein femab feet never trod.

The nearest thing to the barber shop is probably the women's beauty parlors or "shoppes." Our spies tell us that all the ferrets of the community are poured into the cars of the beauty operators by the ladies who come in to have undone what Ihey had done yesterday: our same spies report, some of the hired hands of a beauty shop or two artn too discreet and have a loose flap which fioy ought lo keep zipped, This means, I am informed, they gab too mi'ch on the outside and there's one in particular who has an especially unenviable reputation along that line Men, now, seldom lalk about each Jhey're afraid lo and also they're generally too busy telling about some big deal they josl put across.

Hollywood lias handed out its annual Academy awards, and again Duke was passed by. This year Duke--better known as John Wayne-r-kncw in advance he wasn't going to win of ttiosc priced $90 gilded Oscars. Although theater owners voted him the top box-office star of 19M, he wasn't even nominated for an Academy award. Wayne has been in some 150 pictures but never won an' Oscar. As a msiter of fact he has been nominated only once--for "Sands of Iwo Jima.I' Yet he has been among Die "golden ten" boxoffice kings for six straight years.

They've helped give size ID our industry. They a us' back a liltle of the dignity I feel we deserve. As a group motion picture people have proved pretty fair citizens" Wayne doubts he'll ever haul home an Oscar, partly because the action roles he plays don't call for the dramatic gamut that most often win Academy awards. But By Hal he does get annoyed at the movie literati who, perhaps miffed by his popular appeal, question his acting ability. wondpr they think acting is? he said.

"I've been earning a living as an actor for more lhan 2a years.
