Borough Clerk Charles F. DaIy made the suggestion. He pointed out that offices for the chief of police, assessors and possibly others could be made from what is now the courtroom. It was also pointed out that if the courtroom were put on the bottom floor, it would put it in closer proximity to the police station.
 There was general discussion of the situation and the need for an office for the policec hief. Re- gently the tax collectors office was moved into the one formerly used by the chief of polyice. The town hall committee was authorized to investigate the matetr further This committee consists of Richard Dur- kin and Howard Anderson.
 Pay Boost
 The board voted to raise the pay of the superintendent of welfare, Leo Scully, to $2,300 annually. aD increase of $2OO. Money for this was appropriated in the present budget and the move came as nc surprise, nor was there any opposi- tion to it. Richard Parkinson com mented that the superintendent last year saved the town a considerable bit of money and remarked that one who saves the town money is entitled to a raise.
 The superintendent was also authorized to secure specifications for painting the exterior of the town hall and to call for bids from local dealers. The boar dreservei the right to reject any or all bids. It is not expectedd however, that the work will be done this year because of the fact painters are busy at other work.

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Rich Ivory Coost Moy
 Be Gernon Wor Booty

ONE of the chief prizes of World V War II is Africa, the dark continent. Germany has empha- sized its "Drang Mach Osten," the drive to the East," but Adolf Hitler looks at the rich, virgin territory below the equator with a covetous eye.
 France, defeated and prostrate, may feel the brunt of Germany's lust for land. The French have had a foothold on the dark con- tinent for centuries, have found African resources invaluable.
 One of the valuable French possessions is the Ivory Coast, a part of the Government General of French West Africa. The col- ony is noted for the vast, dense forests which are its chief natural resource, and at the same time its chief obstacle to exploration.
 One great explorer who man. aged to get into the great interior of the Ivory Coast was Louis Gus tave Ringer, a Frenchman. When he died in 1887. the French gov- ernment honored him philateli- cally with this stamp which also commemorated the 50th anniver- sary of his exploration of the Niger.
 Binger was a French officer and his explorations led to the unifi- cation of the Upper Niger with those at Grand Bassam on the Ivory Coast. He placed Tieba, Kong and Bontuku under French protectorate.
 In 1892 he became commits sioner in French West Africa and from l89S-96 was governor of the Ivory Coast.
