MORE IVA JOBS
 NOW AVAILABLE
New Regulation Increases Number of Youths Elig=
 ible for Assistance

A new regulation designed to make it easier for young people to become eligible for employment on the out-of-school work program of the National Youth Administration was announced today by Adminis- trator Aubrey Williams.
 In a letter addressed to State IVA Administrators, MT. Williams said that the need reuirements for certification for IVA work had been defined under the 1941 Labor-Fed- eral Security Appropriation Act tc read as follows: "A youth shall be eligible for certification If he is in need of employment, work experience and training."
 Heretofore under the various relief acts, certification to the IVA has required consideration of the needs of the entire family on a budget basis and nearly all IVA youth have come from relief families. The new definition will make 1t possible to reach marginal groups and to select youth for IVA projects on the basis of their need for employ ment and their suitability for the type of work provided by the project.
 Under this regulation, MT. Will Hams said he expected IVA offices to register as eligible a large num- Der of additional youth for the IVA program during the fiscal years just started. He directed the State Ad. ministrators to convey this informa. tion to schools, employment services county agricultural agents, All clubs service clubs, and the YMCA ant all other agencies and individual that may be in a position to recom' mend youth for employment.
 Young people from IS to 25 wht are out of school and unemployed are eligible for IVA as in previous years. Williams also asked the State Ad' ministrators to make survey ant report as soon as possible how man! of those previously certified for N.Y. work would be ready to accept 'em' ployment if offered them. Thi effort is designed to discover t what extent industry has given em' ployment to those who were em' ployed and certified as needy a fev months ago.
 These steps, Williams said, wil help to determine the extent t which IVA could gear its presen program to the preliminary work | training program now being draftet under the National Defense Advis' ory Commission.

 ton of License Among Penalties

lo42. would forbid retailers to sell premium gasoline for a price less than four cents above cost and third grade gasoline at price lower than three cents above cost. Discounts or gratuities which would bring the price below the minimum would also be forbidden. The penalty would be a $50 fine for each day of violation, with recommendation, after two vi- olations, that the state revoke the gasoline license of the offenders.
 As soon as the measure was of- fered, members expressed doubt as to its legality. Aldermanic Presi- dent John s. Monagan named a committee consisting of Alderman Edward Rafferty, Joseph Alishausky and Burton Walker to take up the matter with the corporation counsel and report back at the next meet ing. :.
 Submission of the ordinance is another outgrowtt of the gasoline price war which has ragged here tor the past several months, and ir which independent dealers have been pitted against the major oil companies. The battle has already led to request to the justice de- partment at Washington for inves- tigation of alleged violation of anti trust laws.

rate the trouble he's seen Jim is right guy and fighter with genuine nerve and endurance.
 Death visited Jim's farm last winter and took his wife away. Then Jim took sick himself and went to hospital. Doctors did all they could for him, but they finally had to amputate one of Jim's legs. It looked bad for MT. Fleming, for weeks, but he got his Irish up and came through. Jim's dog adopted every kid in town, and looked in every parked motor car for his. master. .
 Last week, Jim Fleming's house burned down. Gasoline exploded. the flames spread fast, water was too far away and the hose was a little too short. Now Jim hasn't any house.
 It doesn't seem quite fair to put SO much misery onto one man. Jim Fleming never ducked an issue in his life and he served this township for good many years. Jim was reliable. and kindly, and the kind of guy that dogs, and kids, and horses love and tag along after no matter what sort of clothes he wears. Gosh, we do wish we could give Jim back some of the things they've taken away from him lately, but there's one thing nobody could give him and that's honesty and character. Jim wasn't very big, last time we saw him, but he had crowd ed into small body about every fine quality a man could wish for. You cannot say more than that for any man on earth, not even for an Irishman. Jim rates and we are darned sorry about that bad luck, Old Timer.
 If anybody goes berrying in the Squaw Rock Country thl> year, they'd better lay safe and wear stout leather boots. News comes down to the village that one of Charley Evarts's COWS has been bitten by a copperhead, that the creature has swollen up around the skull and runs a bad fever. We hope it recovers and we hope that snake gets killed by the cedar tree-mowing g-machine up there at Flat Hill Farm. Copper heads are bad business, for man or beast.
 The prettiest display of tin- ware ever shown since the last old Yankee Pedlar unharnessed and rolled his wagon under the shed is now glittering in Henry McCarthy's General Store Win dow. There's something about a tin pail that makes spring wa ter taste sweeter, makes huckle-
 berries bluer, and fresh milk creamier. Even beer has a finer flavor when it's served in 8 tin bucket and Henry should be congratulated in securing such a beautiful mess of new tinware.
 You cannot keep a Yankee down. Squire Horton has been laid up with broken leg since that horse kicked him. but he has been busy thinking up better ways to make farming pay while con- fined to quarters. Now we heal that Horton is installing a new milking machine system and wei bet that his bacteria count van. ishes when the new rig starts working. Squire Horton doesn't make any claims to be a scien. tific farmer but he keeps abreasI of the times and makes 6 bettel crop quicker than many highly educated gents who think they know all the fancy twists in agri' culture.

DRIVER AND WALKER TO
BE TALK OF CONGRESS

When you are walking across a
street in a lawful manner, and mot
orist grazes your left hip pocket, it
makes you mad, doesn't it?
When you are driving your car, and
a pedestrian ambles across in front of
you, taking his own sweet time and
practically daring you to hit him, it
still makes you boil, doesn't it?
This fundamental antagonism be-
tween motorist and pedestrian and
which of is most to blame for pedes-
trian accidents will be the subject of
a debate at the 29th National Safety
Congress, which opens this week in
Chicago. The Congress sponsored by
the National Safety Council, is the
biggest safety meeting in the world.
Ten thousand persons from all parts
of the country will attend to talk over
the causes of accidents and how to
prevent them. They are interested in
our safety. Let's help, too, by not tax
ing chances.
The tang of autumn is in the air
and the nights are getting a little
chilly. It's a good time of the year
to listen to this tip from the Del
aware Safety Council.
Before the weather gets SO cold
that YOU will need constant fire in
your stove or furnace, why not take
the opportunity to clean out your fur
mace, and chimneys?
Now is the time to have them in
spected and repaired. After faulty
furnace or chimney sets fire to the
house, it will be too late.

"There is evidence that beer is q
valuable food" writes DR.. Horder.
physician to King Edward VIII. The
evidence is overwhelming.
England's great dietician, DR.. Rob-
ert Hutchinson, suggested that beer
helped the digestion "by increasing
the appetite and calling forth more
abundant secretion Of gastric juices
and more active movements Of the
stomach" It was his considered opin-
ion that "the larger carbohydrate mat
ter in malt liquors rendered them the
most truly nourishing Of alcoholic
drinks"
The food value of beer, according to
DR.. Paprath, lies in the alcohol and
extract, which contains about 75 per
cent carbohydrates, 10 per cent pro-
tein, 5 per cent mineral matter. He
calculates that pint of beer has the
same caloric value as liz OF. Of lean
fish, OF. of beer, 81 OF. Of bread, 10
OF. of potatoes, OF. Of butter, 20 OF.
of apples, N pint Of milk and IN
eggs.
"Beer combines the value Of tea
and coffee which act as stimulants
with that Of milk which is merely a
food" writes Hopkins in one of his
summary paragraphs. He also has
found@ evidence that food is more
quickly absorbed when taken with the
beverage. He lays stress on the min

this flight.
Since the club was organized there
have been only four champions in the
thirteen years: w. F. Wilkins, ST., was
champion for two years; Jack Allen
held the honor the same length of
time, and two years ago "Buck" Mos
ley was club champion. Warren, who
has spread his winning over the past

Pairings were determined this year
on playing records and not by quali-
