Pending final approval by
Mayor Arthur ID. Lockwood
Newark will have a bicycle lic-
ensing bureau which is expect
ed to be in operation by Jan.
/, 1943. The legislation set
ting up regulations governing
operation and providing penal
ties for violations was passed
unanimously by members of
the city council during regu-
lar session Monday night.
Incorporated into the ordin-
ance is a requirement that all BIZ
cycles be licensed and registered
in the Mayors office, (there is
an estimated $500 in Newark
with name and address of own
er, manufacturers number, and
provided with a tag, at cost of
so cents per year. Duplicate
tags may be secured for Is cents
in case of loss. All bicycle deal
ers will have to notify the Ma
yor within AZ hours of the sale
Of a bicycle, along with general
description of same. Even trans
fers of ownership must be record
ed at cost of 10 cents.
Speaking for the measure were
Councilmen B. A. Gaunder and
Fred Wagner. Gaunder en-
phasized that the licensing would
not be "a set-up for the city to
make money but in fact the 30
cent fee would barely pay the
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-09-24

cost of licensing" The important
thing, according to Gaunder and
Wagner is to set up regulations
whereby children, and adults as
well, would be educated in the
operation of bicycles, not only for
their own protection but for the
protection of the public as
whole.
Councilman Robert Evans
spoke strongly in favor of the
ordinance, but objected to the
chief of police being the Judge
and jury" in case of violations.
Following considerable discussion
an amendment was made giving
the Mayor power to appoint a
three man board, to hear any
appeals which may develop from
decisions of the chief of police
in the matter of violations.
TRAILERS
Sensing a forthcoming prob
lem in congestion of camp and
automobile trailer sites within
the city limits because of antici-
pated influx of workers seeking
jobs in local manufacturing
plants, City Solicitor Charles B.
Holtsberry addressed a communi-
cation to council asking that
committee be appointed with the
idea in mind of drawing up leg
islation which would provide
regulation.
Solicitor Holtsherry stated EN-

Glamour Helps

Even the most popular
and worthy causes can stand
a little glamourizing now
and then. That was the
theory behind the visitation
of movie stars to Newark
last week when Iona Mas
nsey, Fred Astaire and Hugh
herbert did such a credit
able job of boosting War
Bond sales in Newark. The
Same procedure was follow
ed in the first World War
when numerous prominent
figures of the entertainment
world volunteered their SER
vices to help with the Liber-
ty Loan campaign.
The day after day appear
ances of stars, together with
strenuous travelling sched-
ules, is not the easiest job in
the world and those Holly
wood celebrities who are par.
ticipating in this worth
while campaign should be
sincerely and heartily con-
graduated.

Unemployment
Claims Reduced

New claims filed for unemploy-
ment compensation benefits dur
ing August in the Newark area,
which includes Licking county,
numbered SO, a reduction of 26.3
per cent, compared with July. In
the state the number of new
claims filed dropped to 1881
from l6,151 in July, a decrease of
80 per cent.
John B. Gilbert, Bureau of I'm
employment Compensation de-
putty here, and manager of the
Newark Employment Security
Center, said this week that bene-
fits in this area totaled $24,747,-
05 during August as compared
with $37 ,339.88 in July. Benefit
payments in the state dropped
more than 8 per cent from $1,000,
102 in July to $992,764 in Au-
gust.
Administrator Herschel c. At
kinson Of the BUG was quoted by
Mr.. Gilbert as attributing the
statewide drop in the number of
new claims filed and benefits
paid out to the reduction in the
number of workers unemployed
as a result of conversion of in
dustry to war production and to
the steady demand for additional
workers in war plants.
The average weekly number of
persons seeking benefits in this
area during August was 1862.
the state the number was 1852.
The average weekly benefit
payment to totally unemployed
workers in the area was $13.16
as compared with the state aver
age of $12.52.

City to License Bicycles;
Sewer Contemplated

phatically MANY cities have
banned automobile trailers be-
cause of the sanitary problems
and nomadic nature of their
dwellers. We do not want to do
that here,-we should face the
facts and provide suitable regula-
tions for zoning, water supply,
waste, garbage disposal, etc."
The Solicitor pointed out that
trailer dwellers get the benefit
of fire, health and police protec-
tion at no cost, while local tax
payers pay the bill, and that this
point should be considered.
Councilman Evans motion
passed that the trailer report be
received and contents complied
with. Thereupon President of
Council Clint Conner appointed
Evans, Gaunder and Payne on
a committee to meet with the
mayor and solicitor for discus
sion of the proposed legislation.
Transfers of funds were auth
orized as follows: $400 in the
gas tax department for purchase
of mineral water, wire brushes
and other supplies; $310 in the
safety department for motor We
hicle operation and maintenance; !;
$500 appropriation for payment
of federal tax on municipal SWIM
ming pool tickets sold during the
season.

Army Dependents ClamOr
For Certificates of Birth

With the effective date
of payment of allowances to
soldiers dependents little
more than six weeks away,
the birth certificate busi-
ness CT the State Health
Departments has taken a
sharp spurt, DR.. r. II.
Markwith, state health di-
rector, revealed this week.
Applications for birth certifi-
Gates of soldiers children have
raised the weekly total in the
Bureau of Vital Statistics from
400 to 500 a week, DR.. Mark
with said.
In Newark, Judge Henry c.
Ashcraft of the probate court,
and his force, have also been
busy in this regard.
The Servicemen's Dependents
Allowance Act, which provides
for payments to wives, children
or other dependents of service
men under the rank Of sergeant
after Nov. l, requires that birth
certificates and marriage licenses
be produced as proof of depend
ency.
The law states that either the
soldier or his dependents may
make the application, but that
dependents should make sure that
hte soldiers have not applied be-
fore they file.
In cases where the soldier ap-
plies, six months are allowed for
the filing of documentary proof
of birth or marriage. When the
dependents makes the applica-
ton, the documentary proof
must be filed with the applica-
ton.
DR.. Markwith also said that
many soldiers wives were apply
ing for certified copies Of mar
riage licenses. These records
are not kept at any central state
office, he said, and must be OBJ
tanned from the probate court of
the county where the license was
issued.
The state bureau has been do
ing a land office business in birth
certificate copies ever since the
nation got into war production.
Manufacturers of war mate
rials are forbidden under penalty
of fine or Imprisonment from
employment Of aliens. A birth
certificate is regarded as proof
of citizenship.
Because of the difficulty in OBJ
tanning certificates in some
states, the Government relaxed
the requirement Of a birth certi-
ficate from an employe and made
it possible for him to obtain en-
ployment by swearing before
Army officers that he was a cit
iZen.
But the relaxation did not eX-
cuse the employer from liability
in the event an employe turned
out to be an alien so most Of
them are still requiring birth
certificates from their workers.

NEED MORE SCRAP

William Sergeant, chairman
of the Newark scrap drive,
calls for more and more scrap
metal. He stated this week
that only the surface of idle
scrap in Licking county has
been touched, and that citizens
haven't begun to grasp the
meaning of the necessity of
getting this material to the
mills. Those with large
amount of metal are urged to
sell direct to the junk dealers.
Newspapers throughout the
United States and cooperating
in the drive, and the schools
will enter into a major cam
paign Oct. 5 with their Junior

scrap pile will be used for a
local charitable purpose or
city improvement.

Gas Storage
Insures Plenty
OF Winter Fuel

Harold Jay, district manager
of The Ohio Fuel Gas company
released an announcement this
week that there is no need for
customers worrying about their
winters supply of gas because
of Company's underground stor-
age facilities.
During the summer months
when consumption is low gas is
brought in from out of state and
stored in two fields relatively
close to the markets. High
pressure compressors force the
gas to the fields in through we'll
heads and back into the porus
rock formations far underground.
Depleted wells are used for this
purpose
A large advertisement in this
weeks issue of The Newark
Leader explains in detail and
with diagrams how this is ac-
complished.

Watch Your Aim

The advent of the squirrel
season last week is taking
hundreds of men to the
woods in search of the small
but elusive game. 1t goes
without saying that this
years invasion of the for
ests is on a smaller scale
than that of last season, but
whenever a sizeable group of
hunters get together, fully
aEmed, there is always a GER
tain amount of danger.
1t has been said that the
squirrel runs less risk of be-
ing shot than the hunter,
and from the number of ac-
cidents reported during ev-
cry hunting season, there
seems to be some basis for
this observation.
However, SO per cent of
these accidents are avoid
able. The hunter who keeps
his head and watches every
move will not shoot a COM
panion-and this type of ac-
cident is most frequent dur
ing hunting season. Let's
avoid these casualties this
year.

Important Part

The school children of
Newark and Licking coun-
ty have been playing a
mighty important part in
the war effort to date, and if
the plans for the Junior
Army of Ohio" materialize
as there is every indication
it will, they will be doing a
yet greater job in helping to
bring Victory to the Allies.
When it comes to playing
a game with gusto and thor
oughness, the children have
it all over most adults,-and
that is the reason this Jun
ior Army is really going to
unearth the scrap that is
still lying around garages,
attics, backyards and farms.
When they know that an
other few pounds might ele-
vate them to the rank of
corporal or lieutenant in the
Junior ArmG, you can bet
they are going to find it.
There is also the factor in
volved in that the revenue
from the scrap can be put
into War Stamps and Bonds,
thus teaching these same
children the habit of thrift,
and a consciousness of help
ing their country by per-
forming a patriotic service.
The school children are
going to make we adults hus-
tie in this all-out war effort
business.
