TIME LIMIT ON
 WAGE INCREASE
City Employees to Be Re- minded of Temporary
 Salary Advancement

The $500 more in pay they will re- receive Is temporary raise effective only for l943, city employees win be reminded soon after the first of the year. Each employe will receive a notice from Controller Thomas M Ccnlon telling him that the increase does not represent a permanent raise.
 The notice will state that the higher pay is to be considered "a cost of living adjustment and not a basic wage increase to be in effect for a period not to extend beyond Dec. 3lst, 1943."
 Next years budget carries the pay increases in each department as separate items, apart from regular salaries and wages. The notice from the controller will bring home to each city worker that the $500 raise is only temporary bonus, not @ permanent raise.
 The increase meant an addition of $455 900 to the city budget for next year. It was granted after a lengthy campaign by city employees for higher pay.
 Any question of the legality of the pay increase seems removed by the action of the U. s. Conference oi Mayors in declaring that the Wal Labor Board or no other federal agency has Jurisdiction over the pay given employees of municipalities The conference asserted that its members are free from the wage freezing regulations issued from Washington.
 In any case, local authorities have been assured that the increase given here will be approved by the gov. ernment. Preliminary steps toward formal approval have already been taken.

WINTER

It is getting colder every day, The ground is already frozen, But it still is thawing just little Over beyond the main highway. The snow will very soon be here And that you know is frozen mist Very high up above this little sphere And then again the frozen rain drops soon appear On the morning of December 9 Winter will appear With all the cold and frost and snow, And with very little of any kind of cheer For Winters frigid cold will at last be here And that's the way 1t Is in Winter Wherever perchance you may go. Throughout these great New England states, we see big drifts of frozen snow. fsut all these winters, they pass, rake our life boat down the river, Tq,rouRh the sunshine and the storm 10 our final rest at last. ~ IT DANIEL GILLETTE

La Guordio Urges ItoIy
To Help u. S. Beut Axis

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Mayor La
Guardia in his weekly short-wave
broadcast to Italy yesterday asked
the Italian navy to cooperate with
American forces in North Africa and
help free Italy from its Nazi over
lords.
Declaring that "the forces which
are fighting Hitler are not far away
from you and they are coming closer
every day." the mayor, speaking in
Italian over two NBC stations, said:
1.-THE Italian navy can help the
cause of peace. Instead of opposing
the landings of American forces on
Italian territory, the Italian navy
ought to cooperate fully with them,
for these very forces of the United
Nations are the only ones which
will be able to bring salvation to
Italy.
1--WE do not know the details Of
what Hitler told Mussolini in their
last interview, but we do know that
Hitler told the whole world that he
and the Nazi armies are going to
take control Of the whole of Italy"
