Reports on
Reading Plan in
Lincoln Schools

The Reading Plan of the Lincoln
County Library which Is carried on
in cooperation with the schools of
the county. has just been success
fully completed for this season. The
reading of good books is privilege
and a necessity especially during
such trying times. The habit of
good reading cannot be over-em-
phasized when SO much of the
worlds future will depend on m
telligent thinking and reading.
Each year children all over the
country are given the opportunity
to take part in the Reading Plan
through their teachers. At the end
of the year a certificate is given TO
each child fulfilling the qualifiea-
tions. The aim is not quantity but
quality, 20 books for the entire
school year winning the certificate.
The maximum award is for 40 books
and many of the children receive
this. In fact some read so and 90
but this is not due TO special en-
enlargement because after 40 books
there is no further honor
In spite of unsettled times,
change in teachers, flu epidemic,
and the measles, Lincoln County
has a good record of reading, and
the following are the number OF
certificates issued

Tells How
To Secure
More Sugar

II. B. Wallace states he is having
blanks printed for use in filing ap-
plications for additional canning
sugar. They will be distributed by
grocery stores and will be in the
hands of the grocers by June q.
Mr.. Wallace, who is county chair
man of the War Price and Ration
ing Board, urges applicants to OBJ
serve few simple rules. The task
of checking over all the applica-
tons and issuing permits will be a
heavy one and if few rules are
observed that work will be less
ened.
First, Mr.. Wallace says the appli-
cations must be filled out IN FULL,
with all questions answered. the
form has been simplified and this
should not be difficult
Second, the blanks must DC
mailed to the War Price Rationlng
Board of the applicants. home town
either in Libby. Troy or Eureka.
They MUST NOT be brought IN
person, said Mr.. Wallace.
Please observe these two simple
rules and help to reduce the work
and confusion. says Mr. Wallace.

by the end of l943, Secretary of the
Treasury Henry -Morgenthau, Jr.,

sary to complete our war financ-
ing needs for l943,' Morgenthau
said, AT least ID billion dollars, or
almost Is per cent of the national

Government officials and represen-
tativeS of Central American coun-
tries, attended a private showing
yesterday afternoon at the May

Supplies Corp, the Navy Depart
ment Army. Maritime Commission,
Office of Co-ordinator of Inter-
American Affairs, officials of the

Mayan Culture Traced.
One picture dealt with the early
history of the Mayans. their origin
and ancient culture, and attempted
to trace the influence of their past
civilization on present day Central
America. The other film. "Abaca."
showed the development of the
plant used to produce Manila hemp.
1t was explained that in the pre-
war days IS per cent of abaca fiber
came from the Philippines and 5
per cent from the Dutch East
Indies. The qualities Of abaca fiber
make rope more resistant to the
harmful effects of salt water, it was
explained.
The United Fruit Co. in CO.
operation with the Agriculture De-
partment, has experimental plant
ings of abaca in Central America.
which in recent months have been
expanded to 28,700 acres. In 1942
the company entered into an agree
ment with the Defense Supplies
Corp. on the acreage extension.
Capacity Output in 1945.
Full production capacity is ex-
pected in 1945, when about 5,000,-
900 pounds year will be obtained.
The approximate acreage in various
countries follows: Guatemala, $500.
Honduras, 5000: Costa Rica, II 500,
and Panama, $500.
The present production is between
$4,000 and 10000 pounds of dry
fiber a week, equivalent to almost
6 miles of 8-inch circumference
hawser. This amount is expected to
be increased in October and again in
December of this year, when addi-
tional paintings in Panama and
Costa Rica will begin to bear. In
1914 the paintings in Guatemala
and Honduras also will come into
bearing.

Express Cars Suggested
On Benninq Line

Express cars on the Benning car
line from Fifteenth street and New
York avenue NV. to Fifteenth and
H streets NE. was suggested last
night at the Kenilworth Citizens
Association meeting as means
toward relieving the jams caused by
overcroWded buses making unneceS-
sary stops. 1t was pointed out that
an express system was used during
peak hours in the World War, while
passengers travelling short distances
used other routes.
Charles MaiZ, aSsocia ton presi-
dent, said a survey by the Public
Utilities Commission would reveal
the possibilities for an express serv-
ice or a skip-Stop system.

were criticized, but the association
decided 10 participate in a mass

At the meeting the association also
intends to have member of the Red
Cross explain a course on accident
prevention in the home. The aSso-

Wallace 10 Resign
As Head Of Defense
Training Program
Move Is Port Of Plan
To Reoreonize Setup
In Public Schools

w. D. Wallace, supervisor of the
national defense training program
in the schools, has offered to resign
and his resignation will be accepted
when 1t is formally submitted, it
was disclosed yesterday.
Reports that the resignation was
sought were confirmed by Lawson
j. Cantrell, assistant superintendent
of schools in charge of the training
program, who said Mr.. Wallace was
taking annual leave until February /.
Mr.. Wallace will not be replaced
by another supervisor, Mr.. Can't
rell said. His duties will be taken
over by Harold Clark, head of the
Department of Vocational Educa-
ton.
The Wallace resignation, it was
said, is part of the reorganization
plan developed even before Chair
man Randolph of the House Dis
trict Committee charged the program
here was faltering and urged that
1t be taken out of the hands of the
school system and put under the
commissioners as separate depart
ment.
The chief criticism brought out
at a hearing on December 7 involved
wage policies and the complicated
purchasing system. Within 10 days
after the hearing school officials an
nounced that wages of instructors
had been Increased to conform with
industrial wage scales and that the
Commissioners had promised to
speed up the purchasing system.
Mr.. Cantrell said Mr.. Wallace. a
vocational education expert, had
been employed on a temporary ap-
pointment.

40 Axis fighters flew, only now

the RAF and American fighters they
quickly disappear. The Germans OBJ
vlously are outstanding their waning

To the soldier underneath particu-
larly, the dive-bombing is still
hell, but it is impossible to keep
every enemy plane off every Allied
soldier. The Germans, with long
prepared fields in Sardinia and Sic
lily, hold every advantage. but they
have been unable to exploit them to
the extent they did in Greece, Crete
and Norway.

the vitally important and construc-
tive gains made so painstakinglv in
the field of public personnel admin
istration over long period of years" :"
The federation said the Civil
Service Commission has been doing
an excellent recruiting job under ad-
verse conditions, and that it must
be relieved of the compulsion of re-
cruiting virtually limitless numbers
Of employees"
Because too many appointing Of
flcers have been unrestricted in their
demands for armies of employees" it
was added, "the comission neces-
sarily is recruiting persons who by
no stretch of the imagination can be
held competent. There comes time
when it is better to let some work
accumulate than to intrust it to in
competent hands"
AS move toward improved efflci-
ency, the Federation urged that per-
manent legislation be enacted equal
lzing overtime pay for all workers
'the law just enacted expires April
3O), and that wartime pay adjust
ment be made "in accordance with
the generally recognized formula for
private individuals"
The support of the organization
for the personnel inquiry shortly to
be undertaken by the House Civil
Service Committee also was pledged.
The editorial was signed by Luther

mission made its first report on the

tober to determine the reason for
the huge turnover in Federal en-
ployment.
There were 81 agencies which par
tic-pated in the initial survey, and OF
a total of 1922 separations, 985, or
% per cent, were due to the employees
women as well as men entering
military service. Next in order were
800 who returned to school. most of
these persons having accepted en-
ployment only for the summer
months.
Other reasons for leaving includ-
ed: Salary complaint, 27O; poor
health, 258; dismissals, ITO; retire
ment or death, 1873; poor promo
tional prospects, l39; family moving,
1872, dislike for Washington, 70:

was prevailed on to remain in serv-
ice
