Board Offers
Half Request
Exeter Public School Board
lias offered teachers increases
amounting to one-half the salary
raises they requested last month.
Decision was made at a board
meeting Monday night and offers
were made by letter to the teach
ers Tuesday.
Total of the increases offered
for the 1954-55 term amounts to
$5 50. The teachers asked for a
■combined raise of $1,350.
Present salaries, exclusive of
the principal, range from $2,400
to $2,850.
Equal Other Schools
Board members said the wages
of the local teachers are on a par
with those of neighboring schools.
They felt they could not grant
the total increase requested be
cause of the income of the taxpay
ers had not risen during the past
year.
A request for a r(iise from
Principal C. H. Blowes was sub
mitted at the meeting but action
was deferred.
Hire Two Teachers
Two new teachers were hired
for the coming *term. They are
Miss Helen Anthony and Mrs.
John Mahon, both of Exeter.
Mrs. Mahon is teaching in an Us
borne school this^year and Miss
Anthony has been a supply teach
er frequently during the past two
years.
The hoard has still to hire two
more teachers. One is to replace
Clifford Reeves, who has accept
ed a position at Etobicoke, and
the other is needed for one of
the new rooms in the addition.
Also discussed at Monday
night’s meeting were the pur
chase of a public address system
and the laying of cold top walk
around the addition.

said. “They have caught the

Fourth Operetta
This will be the fourth annual
operetta prepared by the chorus
and it is scheduled to run for
three nights, Wednesday, Thurs

Taking important roles in the
operetta are W. G. Cochrane,
Harry Hern, Sterling Ince, Car-
frey Cann, Allan Elson, Mrs.
Robert Riley, Mrs. Lois Porter
field, Maxine Reeder and Irene
Beaupre.
The operetta opens on the
rocky seashore on the coast of
Cornwall revealing a band of
pirates enjoying a bit of revelry
and song. The cause for celebra
tion is that Frederick,* the young
est of them, is now 21 and ready
to qualify as a full-blown pirate.
He, on the other hand, says
he is going to leave for a better
life and that the only reason he
is with them is that his nurse
maid, being hard of hearing, mis
took his father’s instructions and
apprenticed Frederick to a pirate
instead of to a pilot.

Forum Suggests
Twenty members of Parr Line
Farm Forum discussed “Safety
on the Farm” at a meeting at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gor
don Coleman on Monday night.
Reasons why the tractor is the
greatest single cause of farm
accidents, were laid to careless
ness on the driver’s part, ex
cessive speed, braking at too high
a speed and cranking while the
tractor is in gear. Fatigue from
too long hours of work, Is also
a contributing factor.
That the Department of High
ways should prohibit children
under 16 driving on the high
ways, and parents should not
allow children under 14 to drive
a tractor on the farm, were
opinions expressed by the mem
bers.
As to what kind of project the

the home does not realize the

The speaker stated the basic
