 ] Not Labor Cut
 l According to Christian Groh EZRA labor division supervisor i here, reports that the number ot EZRA workers here will be reduc-
 ed 20 per cent are incorrect. MT
 Groh stated that although nothing
 definite has yet been learned it it | probable that the cash quota o1
 the borough will be sliced approxi.
 mately 20 per cent. However he
 stressed the fact that there is as yet nothing certain about that.
 The cash quota for last month
 was about $10,12O. A reduction in this would either mean a wage re-
 duction probably for skilled labor
 or a reduction in the number o1 ] workers. If such a slice in person
 mel took place it would probably
 be in the skilled workers division
 MT Groh said. Some of the skilled
 workers laid off Saturday and who
 re-registered, have been replaced There are about IS men now employed on the Bethany airport
 improvement project. Work on the
 Church street sewer project is pro- gressing and laborers are trying to ] speedily finish with the least cost to the borough the Johnson street widening project as ordered at a
 meeting of the board of warden
 and burgesses last week.

 confusion. Drills of all sorts. ex-
 hibiticns of skill, gymnastic work,
 wrestling and boxing shows are

 heavy. Seats are reserved.
 No Court Cases

 made last night. "It was too cold
 last night for anybody to do any thing 'one officer said today. No accidents were reported to police. Chief Keeps Mum
 Fire Chief Thomas Walker, who has been trying to secure pay res- toration for local paid firemen, when asked whether his efforts would now be discontinued follow ing the recent action of the bor-
 ough board is not providing in the new budget for such pay boosts, refused to state what he would do. Some take this to mean that he still intends to keep on trying. Local firemen feel they are the forgotten men," But unless the boards action is changed at the annual meeting of the freemen or unless the board suddenly decides to reverse it's stand. it looks as though they may stay forgotten.
