HUGH ELLIS PASSES

Hugh Ellis, mention of whose ill
ness has been noted in the Demo-
crat, died at his home near Chester
hill Friday of last week, at II a. M,
after several months illness.
Hugh, son Of Abram and Rebecca
Burr Ellis, was born near the Tabor
church. Windsor township, Nov. T.
1872; died June IL, 1912. aged SO
years, seven months and five days.
He was of a family Of nine children
douglas and Walter of GAINESVILLE
and Mrs. Eva Thompson, Spring
field, and the following who are
deceased: Mrs. Ellen Doudna, Mrs.
Clara Sands, Mrs. Diantha Miner,
Clark and Caroline, the latter two
dying in infancy. He was married
to Mary Kean, June 18, 1898, who
with the two brothers, one sister,
mentioned, and several nephews
and nieces, survive him.
Hugh Ellis was honest and hon
orable in all his dealings; a good
farmer and raiser of fine stock. BY
hard work and frugality, he and his
good wife became the owners of a
large acreage of good land Though
frugal, their home was ever open
to the hungry, as their purse was
to the poor. He was unassuming
His opinion was sought, but never
offered. While we could relate
many acts of kindness, deeds of
love, his actions are speaking
louder than any words we could
pencil. Knowing him as we did, we
feel he would have it that way, but
we feel We cannot close this sketch
without saying no man was ever
better to his mother than was Hugh
Ellis, and we can't stop there-no
were ever as good to their mother
in-law or mother as was Mary Ellis
He was a member of the Stockport
Methodist church, and Todds

monoxide poisoning in the car last

cate Of accidental death, said the

Dual Pay Law
Ruling Aids
War Training:
Warren Announces
Government Workers
Muy Instruct Glasses

The problem of obtaining instruc-
tors for the training program which
the Board of Education has been
conducting here since June, 1910,
to fit men and women for war
work, was cleared up today when
Controller General Warren ruled
that skilled Government employees
could be hired as instructors with
out violating the dual compensation
statute. This law prohibits-under
certain conditions-the payment of
two salaries to the same individual.
Advised OF the decision, L. j. Can
tren, assistant superintendent of
schools in charge of the training
courses, said it would be of great
assistance. It was becoming in
creasingly difficult to recruit instruc-
tors from private industry, which
heretofore has constituted the sole
source Of supply, he said. Right
now, radio and mechanical instruc-
tors are needed, but they have not
been available from outside the
Government, he explained, and the
dual-compensation ban has been
viewed as a barrier to hiring Federal
personnel.
In opening the way for use of
employe-instructors, however, Mr..
Warren, drawing fine distinction
between the two forms of compensa-
ton, said that they must be paid
on fee basis, rather than straight
per diem rate to keep within the
dual compensation law. He added
that schedule of these fees should
be filed at the General Accounting
Office. Mr.. Cantrell said that the
per diem basis heretofore has pre-
vailed, with the daily rate conform
ing to that paid to regular teachers.
A comparable fee schedule will
be drawn up Immediately the school
official said.
The Controller Generals ruling
was given to Chairman Paul v. Nc
Mutt of the War Manpower Com
mission, which has general super
vision over the training program,
which is financed by grants-in-
Telling of the difficulty of obtaining
skilled teaching personnel, Mr.. Nc
Mutt urged the employment of Fed
eral workers for instructors-if the
dual compensation statute could be
satisfied-explaining that the Navy
Yard and other establishments had
competent workmen who were will
ing to serve in this capacity.

that no call will go unanswered.
About $50 men and women are
now attached to the Transportation
Unit. An additional 1863 drivers of
private automobiles and 100 more
drivers Of panel delivery trucks and
their vehicles are needed at once.
Realizing that gas and tires are
precious commodities at this point,
J. A. Brown. chief of the civilian
defense emergency transportation
service. gives assurance that yolun-
teering for this service will mean
little or no hardship along these
lines. Even in the training period.
the consumption OF gasoline should
not average more than a gallon q
month, he said.
After training membership in this
unit will make few demands on
the volunteers unless the air raids
come. Then these volunteers would
be needed urgently. For when the
calls come, they must be ready to
answer them.

Matching plot to get rich by SELL
ing" permanent assignments and
promotions to Army men, learned
in court here that their contact
man was a judge advocate who had
recording devices and FBI men lis
tening in on every conversation.
Maj. James w. McRoberts, Judge
advocate of the Army Air Force
Technical Training Command at
Miami Beach and formerly a prac-
ticing attorney at East st. Louis,
described the scheme and trap that
was sprung. He testified in Federal
Court against Bernard Sharon and
Nathan Ginsberg, accused of bribery.
Sharon, the major testified yester-
day, came to him with a plan to
make promotions to the rank of
corporal available for $3.50, and
to sergeant for $3.50. Maj. Nc
Roberts also testified that Sharon
proposed that wealthy parents, who
might want to spend a Florida
vacation and at the same time be
near their soldier sons, could ar
range it by paying $3.50, which would
assure the son of being permanently
assigned to Miami Beach.
Military authorities used soldier
to set the trap, the major testified,
and Sharon paid Maj. McRoberts
$3.50.
This is easy dough-" the Judge
advocate testified he told Sharon,
as FBI men listened and the record
ing device whirred.
There's plenty more" he said the
man told him.

WPA lunches are major part of
their dailysdiet. We hope reduction.
OF WPA employees wilI not mean
general curtailment of the program"
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, stiperihtend-
ent Of schools, said he will hold

discuss continuance of the WPA
lunches in nearly 10 elementary
schools. Though the supplies of
food and the preparing of it in the

means of serving the lunches has to
be found before WPA mattresses are
reclassified as war workers within
the next two weeks.
Volunteering Centralized.
School principals and presidents
OF parent-teacher associations said
this morning the volunteers have
already come forward to offer to
train to serve the lunches. All vol
unteering is being centralized and
scheduled into weekly periods, at
the request of school authorities, by
the parent-teacher associations of
the 10 schools affected.
Il am sure that the parents will
do all they can to prevent this lunch
program from being dropped" COM
mented Mrs. p. c. Elicit, president
OF the Congress of Parents and
Teachers. She said that by Friday
morning every member of the asso-
Citations will have received a news

schedule the service so that no one
group will be overlooked. At the
