vote in each instance on the leg
lslatiOn was six against and
three for. Service Director Sam
uel A. Anderson explained the
money was needed to pay extra
help to bring the work in the
waterworks department up-to-
date. He said that due to many
leaves of absence being taken by
employees in the department be-
cause of the attractive salaries
to be found in industry the de-
partment has been working short
handed and that it takes time to
break in new help.
Both Mayor Arthur d. Lock-
wood and Councilman Stare
plead with the council to get
down to business and forget par
ty politics and work together for
the benefit of the taxpayers.
The legislation in question
was allowed one reading. Coun-
man Stare emphasized that the
city handles as many cards as
the gas and power companies
yet has only one-third Of the Of
flee force for this work that
those companies require.
An ordinance was approved,
after amendment, giving skilled
labor 65 cents per hour for the
first year of service and 70 cents
per hour each year thereafter;
semi-skilled 60 cents for the first
year and 65 cents thereafter;
common labor so cents for the
first year, 55 cents for the sec
ond year and 60 cents for the
third year of service.

by Mayor Lockwood calling for
raise of $40 per month for

brought before council by Coun-
Gilman Robert Evans, seconded

the city employ. Upon being put
to a vote Councilman VanWey,

Meet Today's Most Needed Americans F..

COLUMBUS. O.-The 10 most
needed men in America today
are:
A tool and die maker, not en-
ployed in war industry and look
ing for job.
Experienced jig and fixture
builder ready to move from
peacetime to war industry work.
Time Study man interested in
aeronautics.
Experienced precision mach
inc operator, not already in war
work.
Inspector acquainted with man
ufacturing, sheet metal fabrica-
ton, airplane assembly.
TODD designer seeking war in
dustry employment.
Factory layout specialist.
Aeronautical engineer.
Aircraft mechanic-any varie-
ty.
Machine shop supervisor with
on-the-job experience.
In those 10 classifications, ac-
cording to the head of one of
Ohio's largest war industries,
are the men most likely to get
an industrial job in these times
merely by stating their names,
their training and their job ex-
perience.
These 10 occupational groups
comprise the states most critical
manpower shortage in the opin-
ion of j. A. Williams, general
manager, of the Curtiss- Wright
Corporations huge airplane plant
at Columbus, Ohio. His plant
is building dive bombers and
scout-observation planes for the
U. S. Navy.
"There apparently is a mistak-
en- impression in Ohio" Mr.. Will
Jams said, "that war industry ex-
pansion is almost complete and
that the problem of employment
among the higher skilled trades
has been solved. That is not true.
In our own plant, we have hired
thousands of workers, but we
have many more thousands yet
to employ. And there must be
reasonable degree of skill and
experience in at least a key min
ority of this group"
The airplane manufacturer
pointed out that these 10 most
sought-for groups can be gotten
to the war industries in which
they are most needed only by Sc
curing them from non-war indus
tries via the U. S. Employment
Service. Otherwise, one war plant
might merely take the sought
for specialists from another war
plant.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-07-09
Rail Executive Daniel Wizards
Philanthropy Remembered Here

Newark railroad men and
other residents, joined with
those throughout the nation
this week in mourning the
death of Daniel Willard, 81
year-old chairman of the board
of directors, and former presi-
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, who died in Balti-
more, Md, July 6, following a
short illness.
Mr.. Willard will be remem-
bered by many Newark citi-
zens because of his philanthro-
py and the stirring message
delivered at Moundbuilders
park during the Baltimore &
Ohio Centennial celebration
held here in 1927.
The affair was featured by
a huge parade made up of
marching men and women, ap-
propriate floats and bands,
through the streets to the park
where President Willard was
presented with a birthday
cake containing 100 candles,
by the Newark Business and
Professional Women's club.
In return Mr.. Willard present
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-07-09

ed the club with a check for
$500 to be used in beautifying
Moundbuilders park and to
help preserve the trees in that
site.
At that time Miss Edna AL
ward was president Of the
club, and the Identification of
Moundbuilders park was club
project. She is now associated
with the Licking County Chill
dren's Home.
Mr.. Willard worked his way
from a common track laborer
to the executive position he
held until a year ago, when
against protest, he resigned,
as president of the railroad,
but remained as chairman of
the board of directors until his
death.
In fitting tribute to his long
fight for enlightened manage
ment of the nations railroads,
the labor organizations of the
B. & O. in 1880 conferred
their own degree on him-"Doc-
tor of Humanity"
Mr.. Willard is survived by
his wife and four grandchil-
dren, all Of Baltimore.
