Many Teachers Given Three Day Pay Check
Seven hundred teachers received their checks yesterday from Jenn B Wynconp, financial secretary of the Board of Education. The payments cover the two weeks worked and the three day vacation period last week. About 100 members of the teaching corps did not appear at the High School library room for their pay and will receive it next work at the Board of Education rooms, First National Bank building. It is believed those who did not receive checks yesterday were teachers on vacation out of the city.
