Labor To Support
Levies For School
And Hospital Aid
Vote For Renewed Will Not
Neon Additional Tax
For Taxpayers

Aware of the Importance of continu-
ing the q mill hospital levy and the
2-mill school levy, members of the Ma
tional Brotherhood of Operative Pot
ters in this district as well as organ
lied labor in general have voted en-
dorsement of both levies.
They are so important to the future
well-being of East Liverpool that we
feel We should bring out few of the
main points in their behalf On the
ballot they are presented as new taxes.
The wording is Incorrect. They are not
new taxes but merely renewals of
levies already on the tax books and
their passage will not increase the
present tax rate.
In a community of East Liverpool's
type with few jor industries inside
its corporate limits to offer financial
aid, the financing of a school system
is extremely difficult. In order to give
our children the average educational
facilities of the rest of the state it is
necessary that this levy be renewed.
\ vote for the school levy is simply an
investment in a better chance for your
child.
In addition to local unions published
in last weeks Herald who indorsed the
"a mill hospital levy we add l.. L. 1.

Union No. 10.
Like the school levy, the Amill hos
pital levy is not an additional tax but
merely Il continuance of the presen;
levy. 1t will amount to less than $100
per year TO the average taxpayer.
The City hospital needs this levy To
do the staggering job it is doing today,
to plan expansions and improvements
for tomorrow as hospital insurance be-
comes more universal and more people
turn to the hospital for treatment.
Certainly anyone who pays out
money each month for hospital inSur
ance as provided by the National
of Operative POtt ters
group insurance plan wants a hospital
bed available when he's ready To use
t. A vote for the hospital levy is an
Investment in your own physical vel
fare.

CAMERA FANS CAUTIONED

] HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DEPARTMENT-Well-intentionec camera addicts with a desire for souvenir pictures of army con- struction work in Alaska are bringing trouble upon themselves because of lack of knowledge ot federal statutes forbidding photo graphing of any military installa- tions.
 Alaskan Department officers pointed out the case of civilian construction employe at Northway who was recently fined $200 in federal district court on charge of taking pictures on a military reservation.
 The worker, who pleaded guilty to the charge, explained that he had no intention of doing wrong, but that he had only a vague idea of provisions of laws governing pictures taken on gov ernment reservations.
 Many persons apparently be- lieve that pictures are prohibited only in connection with certain installations, but a federal law specifically states that no person is permitted to take pictures of any military installation without authorization from the proper au- thorities, officials stated. This ap- plies to service men as well as civilians.
 Violation of this statute is a serious offense and makes the guilty person liable to heavy pen alties.

 Dimond said salmon cought in these waters spawned in Alaska rivers, and in returning to these rivers had to pass over the shelf and added the Japs fished the shallow waters. If permitted to continue after the war, they would deplete the salmon supply of the United States.

Magdeburg and .Halberstadt Are Victims of Raid

LONDON, Jan. 12.-(AP)- American heavy bombers roared over Berlin yesterday according to German reports, setting off the greatest sky battle of all times in which the Nazis used new tactics, to down 136 planes, including 124 four-engined bombers.
 The main force of the Eighth Air Force armada struck Magde- burg and Halberstadt, 100 miles southwest of Berlin, while heavfes staged a diversionary raid on Ber- lin itself.
 A Berlin correspondent to Stockholm Aftonbladet, reported this maneuVer in daylight was similar to that used in the RAF recent night feint on Berlin while delivering d heavy blow to Leip- zig and Magdeburg, important railroad and arms center.
 The United States airforce is still computing the results of the raid preparatory to issuing com munique.
 The Scandavian telegraph bu- reau reported from Berlin that the United States air force lost 25 per cent of the planes crossing western Germany.
 On that basis, German commun- iques claim 136 craft were down ed This means that approximate ly 750 planes participated in the raid, but it is likely that the total number of fighters and bombers was much higher.
 DNB quoted Berlin officials as saying that more than one-third of the planes were brought down with the loss of more than 1000 men.
 The extraordinary success was called a landmark on the way to perfection of Germany's air de- fense
