LARGE ARMY OF EMPLOYEES
IN FORD PLANTS
More Than 161 900 Persons Employ
ed In Its Various Activities

The Ford organization is now en-
pIoying more than 10000 persons
in its various activities throughout
the United States, according to the
latest employment figures. This is
a record for the industry.
The largest increase has come, as
might be expected, in the Detroit
area where the Ford Motor Com
pany's big manufacturing plants are
located. Here close to $500 have
been added to the employment list
since March /
The big majority of workers are
employed, of course, at the Highland
Park and River Rouge plants The
River Rouge now has $4,000 on its
payroll record for that plant
Highland Park still leads all plants
with $4,000 employees, though this
number is considerably lower than
the peak employment record of 1928
which was before the transfer Of
several thousand men to River Rouge
when the motor assembly and crank
shaft departments were moved there.
Along with the steady increase in
employment in Detroit, due to
greater production demands, there
have been corresponding increases
at domestic assembly plants until the
employment rolls for these now
show close to $4,000 employees.

Name Committee to
Go to Madison
Efforts VIII Be Made to Prevent
Passage of Bill Affecting
Common School Districts.

The merits and dement's of bill
now before the state legislature
which, if made law, is declared
might prove harmful to the city Of
Hurley, were discussed at a meeting
held at the high school Wednesday
evening which was attended by about
forty representative citizens
Assemblyman Trembath was i'm
attendance and addressed the gather
ing He declared that the bill had
already been passed by the senate
and that it would probably come up
in the assembly next week.
The bin provides that whenever
common school district maintaining a
high school consists of territory
both within or without the corporate
limits of any city or village having a
population of 500 or over, the
territory lying outside of the city
limits may be detached as hereinafter
provided
Should this bill i'm its original form
become a law it is contended that
there would be chance for the city
of Hurley being made the goat" in
the matter of the support of the local
high school, thus imposing hardship
on the taxpayers of the city. Joint
School District No. is composed of
the cities of Hurley and Montreal
and the towns of kimball, Pence,
Carey and 0ma Each municipality
in the district bears its share of the
expense of supporting the Lincoln
high school. Under the provisions
Of the bill any or all of the territory
outside Of the city limits could be
detached from the district, if the
majority of the residents of the
territory so desired, it was pointed
out at the meeting.
II was therefore decided that eff
forts should be made to defeat the
bill. With that object in view
committee was named to go to
Madison and use its influence in an
attempt to bring about, if possible,
defeat of the bill in the assembly.
The members of the committee are:
Chas Bonino, Il. J. Gibbons, Judge
Flandrena, p j. Lancer and T. T.
Egan. Another committee was
named to solicit funds to defray the
expenses Of sending the committee
TO Madison
In his remarks Assemblyman
Trembath stated that it would be
hard bill to defeat, as the concensus
of opinion at Madison was strongly
ia favor of it, Fifty similar bills
have been introduced and tabled, he
said, all deciding to work for the
passage of this particular bill
The committee will leave for
Madison Sunday evening. The bill
is slated to come up in the assembly
next Tuesday

Michigan Determined to Curb
Drunken Ol-vers.

Lansing, Mich-A new and drastic
drunken driver" law is now in eff
feet in Michigan. 1t was enacted
by the 1926 legislature at the urge
of law enforcement officials and
dry organizations.
Based upon the theory that the
only effective way Of curbing traffic
accidents and casualties attributable
TO drunken driving it to keep intox-
lcated motorists off the highways,
it provides for the mandatory suspen-
SION Of drivers licenses. A first
offender, upon conviction, must sur
render his drivers license for at
least three months In addition the
court may sentence him to pay
fine Of from $50 to 500 and to not
more than 80 days imprisonment
For second or subsc4uen offense
the drivers license is automatically
suspended for at least year The
additional penalties are a fine of not
more than $500, or not more than
one years Imprisonment, or both.

Cash Value OF Education.

A university professor made a
study of the lives of a number of
men in the light of their school
training and arrived at the conclus-
ion, which is open to debate, that a
high school course has a cash value
of $4,000 and college course
$4,000.
While we would not minimize the
value of an education, it would be
foolhardy for one past the school
age, to become discouraged by
these arbitrary figures.
They strike an average. No one
should lose sight of the fact that a
man or woman adequately equipped
for life from the standpoint of an
education, may be dismal failure.
And men and women without any
schooling of any consequence have
attained great heights in life.
Nothing will take the place of
hard work and strict application to
the task in hand. While education
is of great value, when properly APP
piled, it is not the supreme thing in
a successful life.-Ex.

Iron Mountain Here
Sunday Afternoon
Hurley Plays Return Game With
Ford City Team that Won
Twelve Inning Contest.

What promises to be one of the
best games of the season will be
staged at the local baseball park
Sunday afternoon when Iron Noun
tain and Hurley tangle for the second
time this season.
Hurley opened the season at Iron
Mountain a few weeks ago and in a
nip and tuck battle that went three
extra innings Iron Mountain nosed
out victory to /. Despite that
it was the first game of the season
both teams showed up strong, in fact
Hurley showed midseason form and
put up a strong fight, with Lefty"
Hoeft going the entire route on the
mound
The return game will be played
here Sunday afternoon. Fans who
like the real article have reasons to
believe that they will not be dis
appointed in this contest. There is
hardly any question about the ability
of the visiting aggregation, and the
Hurley boys are going to put forth
their best in an effort to even the
score with Iron Mountain.
Phil Hoffman, former University
of Wisconsin player and for two
seasons pitcher for Hurley, will face
his old teammates in this contest. He
is pitching good ball for the Ford
city club this year, but fans here
expect to see Phil get a trimming
after the local wrecking crew gets
into action. They have not for
gotten the time not so far back when
Hoffman listened to the inducements
offered him by the management of
the Ironwood club, turned in his
Hurley uniform and joined the club
across the creek. Up until this time
Phil had quite reputation as pitcher
hereabouts. But in the first game
between Ironwood and Hurley his
reputation was badly dented, for the
local sluggers simply pounded Phil's
twisters to all corners of the lot
Others in the Iron Mountain line
up are ]. Feeney, short, former
Notre Dame player; Walsh, third
base, former Amigo player; Jimmie
Grogan. left field, formerly Of
Rhinelander; Tony Hoffman, right
field, formerly of Wausau. The
club also has another pitcher in the
person of Numbers.

New State Record
In Legion Drive
Expected That Wisconsin VIII Go
Far Beyond Quota of 100000
Set for the State.

With SO Wisconsin cities over the
top and more than $4,000 raised
during the first week of the Amer
lean Legion Endowment Fund
campaign in this state, state officials
of the organization are confident
that a new record will be set before
the drive closes
w T. Barbre, inspector from
national headquarters of the Legion,
has just completed trip Of inspec-
ton through Wisconsin He declar-
ed that national officers were
confident that Wisconsin would go
far beyond the quota of 100000
set for the state.
Mr. Barbre was enthusiastic
about the way the drive is going
in this state and predicted that Wis
consin would forge ahead of
Minnesota which recently issued a
challenge to Wisconsin, because of
the excellent organization and
response of the public to the appeal
Of the Legion.
While Minnesota is coming along
in fine shape and other states in this
section are active, Wisconsin has the
best organization and the brightest
outlook Of any state ! have yet
visited. Citizens Of this state have
always responded when an appeal
was made on behalf of veterans.
Wisconsin is also outstanding in its
work for children We, at national
headquarters, feel that the state will
do more than its share in raising the
endowment fund

brought to the attention of the coun-
ty board of supervisors at its meet
ing Tuesday afternoon by w. j.
He'll, county agricultural agent, who

members.
Mr.. He'll stressed the advantages
which would accrue to the county by
having fair, declaring that it has
become almost a necessity i'm any
county in which attention is paid to
agriculture He said, however,
that he believed that it was too late
to arrange for a county fair this
year, and suggested that a start be
made by having community fairs this
coming Fall and that plans be laid
early for a county fair next year.
The county agent was assured the
support of the board of supervisors
in the matter, many members ex-
pressing themselves as being in favor
of the project.

The board voted a salary for
County Judge Flandrena for acting
as Juvenile judge, the amount of
which, together with his present
salary for serving as county judge,
will equal $500, the amount of the
salary set by the board for the
county judges office to take effect
the first of next January Back
pay since March %, the date that the
county judge took office, was
allowed.
Adopt County Highway.
The road running from the town
hall in the town of Oma to the
Montreal river, which forms a con-
Meeting link with Ironwood, was
adopted by the board as a prospec-
tive state highway This action puts
this road in the class of highways
whereby county and state aid may be
obtained for its maintenance.

Assessor Runs Out Of
Chauffeurs' Licenses

County Assessor Shumway did a
big lot of business at the city hall
Wednesday, making out and issuing
drivers licenses, in accordance with
the provisions of the new vehicle
law which went into effect Thurs
day.
About 759 licenses were made out
at that time, but the issue was
held up owing to a shortage of
blanks Shumway will return to
Winslow next Friday and Satur-
day with a new supply of cards.
1t was stated a few weeks ago
that holders of auto licenses pur-
chased previous to October l would
not be compelled to secure divers
licenses until January 1, but Mr.
Shumway says now that the state
law compels all drivers, regardless
of when the auto license was is
sued, to secure their drivers per-
nit at once.
