The noisy demonstration through the downtown streets of Juarez was without incident. A number of Juarez teachers have been taking part in a hun ger strike for the past week, pro testing what they call the gov ernment’s lack of commitment to education. The teachers are demanding that the government offer teaching contracts to education graduates. Beginning teachers in Juarez work five hours a day and earn about $125 a month. The protesting teachers are alleging the government is offering some teachers two con tracts, while others have no sal ary. Protestors said some of the teachers now on the govern ment payroll are not qualified to teach. Leaders in the protest move ment said they will continue to occupy the offices of the educa tion department until demands are met. Police estimated the marchers at several hundred, about 100 of whom were teachers. Beautiful Roses Red - Yellow - Fink $ ^ 50 fv «J Per Dozen Available For Pick-up between 3 and 8 p.m. ] Fri.
