"Amen," said Almond, 30, .who also has a M.A. Interviewed during a lull in business at the Prospect Service station here, they said other teachers who can't make ends meet might do well to consider taking the same step. Hough was earning between $74 and $80 a week when he told McClelland Grammar school authorities last year they would have to find somebody else to teach their fifth grade. Needed Part-Time Work "It was just too much trying to support a wife and three growing boys on that salary," he said. "I had to do so much part-time work I was never home to enjoy my family." When Hough leased the ser vice station Almond decided to make a break too. The father of three children, he quit his job as instructor in handicrafts at a junior high school and join ed Hough as station manager."

Last year, spurred by reports many teachers were leaving New Jer sey for more lucrative salaries elsewhere, the legislature raised the minimum . starting wage for teachers from $2500 to $3000. Too Much To Ask "It's too much to ask us to work for money like that no matter how much 'we love tea ching," Hough said. "Walt had taught for seven years and I had taught for five before we de cided to quit." - "It was a tough decision to make. You- have to believe in yourself completely to make a change like we did. But it's a real challange. "Anyone who is making the kind of money 'we were and has similar financial obligations cer tainly should review their lives and think about taking the same kind of step." Hough appears as a speaker before civic organizations from time to time, arguing on behalf of higher salaries for teachers. Otherwise his teaching career is behind him. "We both miss the intellectu al contacts we had in the teach ing profession, but we've met some pretty nice people in this business, too," Hough said. "It's pretty hard work at times, but we're darned happy to be doing it." Daily Weather Report FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Variable high cloudiness tonight and Tuesday.
