"That teachers' salaries on Prince Edward Island are in a deplorable condition." WM IN"-Ed by Mr. G. (1. Croakarlt. secretary or the Canadian Teachers Feder- ation. in addressins t-ht P- E- 1- Teachers Convention yesterday morning at the Prince of Wales college. He said the public have to be awakened to the serious sit- uation which exists in the teach- ing profession. I

"we should." he continued. "support our own Federation to the fullest extent. One or two teachers can't create enough pub- lic opinion. Back of our own Fed- eratitin we have the Canadian Tr-arhers' Federation with unlim- itetl resources ready to help us At no time and we should make ...,..g use of it." Mr. Croskery said that New Brunswick was probably paging higher salaries in relation to their ability to pay than any other province in Canada.

The speaker went on to say that the Canadian Teachers Feder- ation is very proud of its prestige tinri standing. it will not support any one province or any small group on a certain matter. "We work for the 70.000 teachers as a tthole. We help those groups that iivill help themselves." he added.

"The Canadian Teachers Feder- alllitl is concerned about the qual- ltv of teachers rather than quan- tity." continued Mr. G. C. Cros- kery. "Some of our schools have lPl('l'lefI that c n'i be called teachers. Some these permit

teachers are not as smart as aoma of the pupils they teach and they have no professional training. To overcome this somewhat. he suggested a premium be put on high qualification and thus encour- age the permit teacher to get more training.

He related that in his own prov- ince. Ontario, the spending on education during the tpast few years had risen from 10 million to ill million dollars. "This would seem to be a substantial increase,

but in relation to the other de- partments expenditures. it is much out of proportion." RESOLUTIONS

Report Suggests Decimal Currency For So. Africa

By ASTLEY HAWKINS CAPE TOWN (Reuters!-South Africans may be packing ”rixdol- lars" into their pockets if the

government adopts recommenda-'

tions that a decimal currency replace pounds. shillings and pence.

The South African bureau of standards advised the change in a report completed after three years' investigation into the most suitable currency for South Africa. Its implications involve one of Hie biggest accounting upheavals any country ever faced. No other counhry has tried such a step in piodern times. ,

Rixdoliars, meaning literally "dollar of the realm." originated h Europe as a general term for early Dutch. German and Scan- dinavian silver coins. Todayls pro- posed value for a South African rixdollar would be 10 shillings sterling (31.40).

Country-wide conversion. esti- mated to cost South Africa E8.- a00.000-or l6.000.000 rixdoliars- la onnaiderud practicable by the experts if a three-year prepara- tion period precedes the change.

The RCAF has -long wanted a replacement for the Mitchell but the tactical air force, which com- prises two auxiliary squadrons at Saskatoon and Edmonton. doesn't rank high on the priority list of Canada's armed forces. .

It is understood that at one time. at least, that the RCAF wanted British Canberra jet numbers for its tactical air force. OBSOLETE PLANE

The Mitchell is one of the great- est paradoxes in any service in any country in the world today.

The twin-engine bomber was ob- solete before the end of the Sec- ond World War. But it is still the only plane in the RCAF": tactical air force. .

Strangely enough, it is still a good enough plane for the job as- signcd to it in Canada.

Officials explain it this way:

A tactical air force is designed to support ground troops-that is, lay doivn a barrage. knock out enemy bridges and tanks and gen- erally piay ha voc with the enemy's offence or defence.

in Canada. soldiers would be used to wipe out any enemy par- achute landings that might be made to set up advance bases for air attack on North America's in- dustrial centres.

Because the range of present- day jet fighters is comparatively ii ited. it is unlikely that such an

Thus the Mitchells would not have to contend with enemy planes and could go about their job of harassing the enemy ground forces without the hazard of being shot down in jig time.

Dr. Koto Maisudaira said the fundamental problem of Asia's massive and still-growing popula- tion -- "how to achieve a better standard of living and give jobs to a rising labor force"-is being attacked by two methods: Com- mtinlsm and capitalism.

"The fate of Asia will he decid- ed by whichever one of these methods prevails among the Asian countries." he told the Enterprise Club. '

Dr. Matsudalra said:

"in the southeast Asia area. to achieve a level of economic de- velopment at least equal to that of Communist China. it is in our view estimated that a stipply of capital amounting to 54.000.000.000 annually will be necessary.

"However. the recent flow of capital into this area from out- side has not been more than 8400.000.000 annually."
