A way is being consider
ed to at least partially elm
mate this growing menace.
1t is possible it can be work
ed out for a very nominal
sum.
1t is our sincere hope
that the committee appoint
ed to consider and investi-
gate the matter will have
something tangible to re-
port in the very near fu-
ture, and that their find
ings, if feasible, can be
quickly put into operation.
Because of the factors in
volved this crossing elimin-
alton could we'll be rated an
important defense project.

City Defense Needs May
Make Bond Issue Necessary

Under miscellaneous Council
man Stare reminded that to the
new council would fall the duty
of figuring out a method of rails
ing funds to purchase new equip
ment for the fire and police de-
partments. According to Stare,
Sheriff William McElroy, in
charge of insuring the safety of
Newark citizens and industry
under the civilian defense pro-
gram, had emphasized the mad
eouacy of present equipment.
Council as a whole is aware of
this fact but has been plagued
as to avenues of revenue. Stare
suggested that the situation be
made a topic for serious thought
by the city fathers and suggest
ell that a bond issue might be
the only solution.
An ordinance was passed auth
orizing a transfer within the
general fund of $50. The money
will be used by the safety direc-
tor to purchase blankets and
sheets for the fire department.

Superintendent Paul B. Ed
wards has stated on several occa-
sions that the public school sys-
TEN in Newark pays out 85 per
cent of it's income in payrOlls,
and that income just has not
been sufficient to meet expendi-
lures in spite of the fact there
are eight less teachers this year
than last.
Proceedings of the board re-
vealed that Maxine Roberts,
clerk at Woodrow Wilson school
is expected to resign her posi-
tion shortly after the first of the
year, and that a new clerk will
have to be hired. A motion was
passed that the civil service COM
mission hold an examination to
fill the post.
Superintendent Paul B. Ed
wards read the report of the
Ohio state high school examin-
er. The Newark public school
system was given a satisfactory
rating in most instances with
the exception of physical exam
nations. A proposition where
in every school child would re-
ceive complete physical exam
ination at periodic intervals dur
ing their twelve years of
school, is now being considered
by a committee appointed by the
board in cooperation with COM
mittee from the Licking County
Medical Society.
The report also revealed that
additional teachers should be
hired in several departments.
The examiner stated that a full
time music teacher and a full
time art teacher in each of the
junior highs would be advisable,
as the school attendance was
large enough to justify same.
The NYA building and train
ing center originally planned for
Newark and sponsored by the
board of education with the CO.
operation of several Industrial
isis and the Chamber of Com
merce, is definitely out of the
picture, according to report
read tuesday night. The gov
ernment has drastically cut the
budget for this type of work
since war was declared. A bill
of $81.93 for legal services in
the project was allowed to Nc
Donald 4 Mcdonald, attorneys.
AS a result of the foregoing,
there is now stored in Newark
$4,000 worth Of machinery,
lathes, etc, which has already
been sent here for use in the
project. 1t is the property of
the NYA. Superintendent Ed
wards let it be known at the
meeting that if the government
would permit the schools to use
the equipment in the industrial
arts program it would be very
much appreciated.
A communication from the
National Educational association
was read, urging that school
revenues be increased so that
more money could be paid to
teachers. There are teachers
who, according to the letter, are
able to go into private indus
try and make much more than
teaching school. This is especi-
ally true during this emergency.
AS result school standards fall,
and boys and girls suffer.
The Newark lodge of Elks in
formed the board that it had al
located $400 to purchase clothing
for underpriviledged children.
The money will be allocated to
the various schools and spent by
principals where it will do the
most good. This is a phase of
the Elks Christmas charity pro-
gram.

wards was granted permission by
the board to attend a national

Crossings

|, Last week the East New
ark Civic Enterprise group
, suddenly came to life after
a long period of inactivity.
Now it begins to look like
something may be attempt
ed to correct the East Main
1tKeet railroad crossing
problem. 1t is generally
agreed that a complete elm
ination would perhaps be
impossible at this time be-
/. cause of economic condi-
I tions. However it is the
consensus of opinion of en-
gineers, city councilmen,
I and others, that a PROPOSE
lion might be worked out so
\, that some relief can be Sc
cured.
Hncreased railroad trans
portation over the Pennsyl-
vania and Baltimore and
Ohio railroads has created
such an eXasperating situ-
\ alton that all East Newark
residents are up in arms as
Y we'll as business firms who
run delivery trucks in that
I part of town.
Traffic is piled up nearly
every hour of the day back
on either side of the cross
Ing as far as four and five
|ocks. If trains happen to
e on both tracks delays of
"a half hour have often been
Experienced.
4 City firemen, the police,
Ror other public agencies for
safety would indeed have a
tough time getting on the
scene of a catastrophe in
East Newark. 1t is in that
part. of the city where the
Mewark hospital is located,
kS1e Licking County Chill
kdren's Home, several factor
les working on important
war material products. Not
many think of these factors.
It is not too far fetched
N these times to wonder
what would happen if the
Owens Corning Fiberglas
plant or the Holophane,
were sabotaged and extra
5olice and fire equipment
decided. 1t is not hard to
ealize what a serious thing
half hours delay would
lean in life and property
SIS.
lAmublances carrying in
Eed to the hospital could
keH arrive too late to save
fctims' lives because cross
hgs were blocked by trains.

Confusion Ahead

Although city and town officials are making every effort to make 1t possible for men in service to vote at local elec- tionS this fall, it seems almost inevitable that the right to the franchise will be denied to some of our boys eligible to vote. Not that this will be due to lack of effort on the part of great many officials. It may be that it will be due to too much activity. However, it won't be said that so far as the Connecticut servicemen are concerned everything hasn't been done to give them chance to vote whenever their home town cleo tions are held.
 Boys from the smaller towns, of course, would have to vote in October 1n larger cities like Hartford, New Haven, Bridge port, and Waterbury the elections will take place in November. A scattering of towns hold their elections on other dates. However, the dates should not prove con- fusing to the eligible men in the service. Lack of definite addresses or absence of men on maneuverS or cruises may pro- vide some of the headaches for election officials and candidates who are particu- larly concerned about the absentee vote.
 Actually the method is a simple one. Anybody in Serivce can obtain from the Town Clerk or his home town an appli- cation for an absenteee ballot Officers are authorized to notarize where neceS- sary. Once the application is filed the rest is easy and is up to the individual. But it's in supplying applications to the boys and having them filed in sufficient time that worries the officials back home. However, draft authorities are now pro- =sding complete lists of all the Connecti- cut boys who have been inducted into the Army since last November. Now if lists of other men in service, including those who may have gone to such far-away points as Hawaii or Iceland, are procured the task will be frightened considerably.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-09-20

thoughtlessness All the laws in the world are powerlesS unless full public support and cooperation is given them. There cannot be a fire warden behind every tree.
 One of the prime causes of forest fires is smoking. A family on holiday drives through the woods, thoughtlessly throw ing matches and cigarette butts from the car. Usually they cause no damage. But one time in a hundred, one time in a thousand, they may fall in dry brush that is almost explosive. Then irreplaceable timber may be destroyed. Never drop burning tobacco or matches anywhere.
 Carelessness with camp fires is still an other major cause of fire. Here again, the rules of safety are simple Never leave fire. Smother the ashes with water and earth. Always build your fire as far as possible from trees and brush, and in a cleared space. One of Americas greatest resources is its tall timber. It is the basis of great employing industry which is vital to national defense. It is the source of pleasure and recreation for millions. Help to preserve it.
