Music Teacher Shortage Acute
A continued shortage of teachers throughout the United States has been reported by H. E. Chandler, Secretary of the teacher's appointment bureau. He states that calls have been received for teachers from every state in the Union but that the bureau can give them little help.
Music teachers are much in demand. This fact is evidenced by records of calls received at the bureau office both in years past and this school year. Records show that the music department has received more calls for teachers than any other department except, in one or two years, when the English department surpassed all the departments. The total number of calls for music teachers received between the years 1931 to 1941 was 1,226 as compared with the next highest total number of 1,069, received in the English department. From Sept. 1, 1941, to Aug. 31, 1942, the calls totaled 198. The positions can not be filled by

British Ship Is Sunk In Arctic
London — (INS) — Disclosure that one of Germany's formidable pocket battleships is on the loose in the Arctic waters was made by the British admiralty tonight in a communique announcing loss of the 1,350 ton destroyer Achates in a naval engagement.
Although the enemy forces were "greatly superior" the announcement said, the German attack upon a convoy to Russia escorted by the destroyer and other sister ships was characterized as unsuccessful.
the few teachers graduating each year. Of the 1,226 calls for music teachers received from 1931 to 1941. a total of 381 teachers were placed in teaching positions. Of the 198 calls received more recently, only 13 could be filled.
The situation has been critical for some time and threatens to become more dangerous as teachers are drafted or enter defense work in increasing numbers.

New Pennies Will Appear To Conserve Vital Copper
Hoarding in pig banks will be prohibited beginning Feb.1 when the copper penny will go to war. Henry Morgenthau, Secretary of the Treasury, issued an order Dec. 24 authorizing the coinage of a substitute cent. The new penny will be of zinc-coated steel and will weigh 41.5 grains as compared with 48 grains in the copper standard. Production of the present penny ceased January 1. It contains
95 per cent copper, a vital material for filling defense needs.
The first indication of the copper penny's fall occurred to the small change customer when he began receiving four grimy, muchly-fisted coins in exchange change for the inevitable nickel he has to dig up when the clerk asks him if he has a penny. The time was when this clerk could drop four gleaming golden discs into his palm — "two three, four, five, thank you." Then he observed that the three faithful cents attached to the slotted cigarette package no longer sparkled 'neath the cellophane. He didn't know, then, that the time was coming when he'd have to dig into the
pig as well as the pantry to supply metal for the nation's scrap drive.
The new penny won't be shiny for long either. It tends to become dark with circulation, though when it is first minted displays its honest blue-gray shade, reminiscent of new plumbing fixtures. No new faces will peer from its surface. Lincoln endures. The size and design will be the same as that of the familiar penny which has been minted with Lincoln's visage since 1909.
