State Police Sgt. Edgar Welsch

q good hold when Fire Chief
Walter Wirth and his men ar
rived, after being summoned by

The fire originated in the old
high school building, now used
for a junior high, and adjoining
the new school building. The
old building, constructed of
brick and wood is not consider
ed of a fire-resistant type and
firemen at first feared the blaze
would spread to the new build

FEDERAL WORKERS

Officials announced yesterday
that approximately 1000 civilian
employees at Camp Davis, Blue
thenthal Army Air Base and other
Federal agencies here will benefit
from the bill to increase pay which
went to the White House Monfay
for the President signature.
The legislation, which calls for
1873 per cent increase for Fed
eral white collar" workers, will
become effective upon its signing
by the President.
Several federal workers, while
pleased at the prospect of more
money in their pay envelopes after
July l, were anxious to know what
provisions the bill made for over
time payment.
The measure provides a gradu-
ated increase from 20 per cent on
the first $1,000 annual pay to 10
per cent on the next 3,400 and five
per cent above $4,000.

Prices At Market
Will Be Surveyed

In the hope of Fighting violations
of price ceilings at the City market,
officials of the local War Price
and rationing board and regional
district OPA authorities are dis
cussing plans for Improvement of
the situation, it was revealed yes
terday.
Although OPA officials post price
ceiling charts every Friday morn
ing, difficulty in stopping the over
charging for commodities sold at
the market arises from the large
turnover of vendors, many of
whom are from other vicinities, it
was stated.
In many instances where re-
ports are made to the OPA OF
overcharges at the market, it i:
impossible to locate the salesman
guilty of the offense.
Several merchants operating al
the market have been called to task
by the OPA, and fined for their
violations of the price ceilings, but
the practice continues. it was re,
ported. Both the volume of the Gus.
toners at the market and the turn
over in sales personnel there makes
the problem almost too great for
the local officials to solve.
Complaints from merchants ir
town who resent the practices Of
the City market operators and the
fact that the offenders often go IN.
prosecuted has made the necessity
of correcting the situation there
even more urgent, it was pointed
out.
