cording to w. H. Wallace, CONNER
cial manager for The Ohio Bell Tel

the distance and the type of service.
AS an example, Wallace said that
the rate for the long haul call from
Dayton to San Francisco has been
S3.75 for three minute conversa-
ton. The new rate will be $2.45.

Lone Distance Rates Reduced

from Dayton to Miami, Fla, has
been 1920, while the new rate will
be $500.
Walter S. Clifford, president Of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, pointed out that
the company's rates are under the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal
Communications G o m m s on,
which has juridiction over inter-
state rates only.
Mr.. Clifford said the commission
has insisted that the earnings from
such rates should be considered by
themselves, regardless of overall
Bell System earnings, and has in
sisted that when so considered, they
produced a return greater than
could be justified-this in spite of
the fact that the return resulted
from the extraordinary wartime
volume of long distance calls and
the temporary overlooking Of the
long distance plant.

SCHOOL BOARD EQUALIzES
SALARIES VOLUNTARILY

SUMTER, S. c., June 29 (ANP)
Beginning with the September,
1945-46 school year, Negro teach
ers in the Sumter school system
will be paid the same salaries Of
white teachers, their classifications
being determined by scores on the
recertification teacher plan.
Disclosure of this voluntary ac-
ton, ordered by the Sumter school
board at a special meeting, was
given by w. H. Shaw, city superin-
tendent of education.
Mr.. Shaw said the plan climaxed
six years of endeavoring to elimin-
ate pay determinations in the sys-
tenn. In 1888, he said, Negro teach
ers averaged $3.50 per year. In
1944-45, they averaged slightly
over $1,000. There are 36 Negro
and 80 white teachers in the sys-
tenn.

White HERO SAYS
WAR CHANGED HIS
OPINION ABOUT NEGROES

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, June 20
(ANP)-Sgt. Henry Eugene Err
win, the first B-29 crewman to win
the medal of honor and who is re-
cuperating here at the Northington
General hospital from severe phos-
phorous burns, declared that the
war has changed his mind about
Negroes.
Sgt. Erwin, whose red hair has
won him the nickname of "Red,"
told how he was injured aboard a
B-29 bomber enroute to smash Jap
anese military targets on TWO is
land. Sgt. Schnipper saved Reds
life by administering blood plasma
after he was wounded by a phos-
phorus bomb.
Hes a Jewish boy from JAM
aica, N. Y, said the wounded hero
in reference to Sgt. Schnipper.
"You know in Alabama, l hadn't
known many Jewish people. Not
many Catholics, either. In the army
you learn something about people.
When you get a buddy on your
plane and eat and sleep together,
and borrow each others clothes,
and fight together, you learn
there's not much difference in re-
ligions. This Sgt. Schnipper is a
really swell guy; he'd give me the
shirt off his back and there's moth
ing l wouldn't do for him."
Red predicted that the country
will be better off "for what our
boys are learning about these
things"
His pre-war opinion about Ne
groes has changed. Born in Decona,
Ala, little coal mining town, on
May 8, 1921, Sgt. Erwin was reared
in an environment hostile to Ne
groes.

Pirates Look Good i'm Conquer
ing Old Foe in First
Home Appearance

Rolling up yardage in impressive
mid-seasen form, Bluffton Highs
light but well-drilled football team
crushed Ada's Bulldogs, 10 to 0, at
the Harmon field stadium last Fri
day night in brilliant show of Of
fensive and defensive power.
While effectually bottling up the
visitors running and passing at
tacks, the Pirates struck for touch
downs in the second, third and fourth
quarters of the tilt, and completely
dominated play all the way.
Taking control of the game at the
opening kickoff, the Pirates drove
deep into Ada territory following the
first two exchanges of the ball to
make their initial scoring threat,
which was nullifed when Ada's ac-
complshed ball-snatching technique
caused tumble recovered by the
Bulldogs.
Soon after the opening of the sec
ond stanza, however, a sustained Pi-
rate drive sparked from midfield by
Swank, Moser and Basinger took the
Burckymen to the one-half yard line,
and Moser skirted left end for a
touchdown. An attempted run for
the extra point failed.
Ada STAYED off another tally late
in the same period when their habit
of tackling the ball paid dividends in
causing a Bluffton tumble on the
12-yard line.
Soon after the start of the second
half, the Pirates struck paydirt again
when Swank passed across the goal
to Smucker, but the try for the con-
version failed.
Late in the fourth quarter, the
Burckymen pushed across their final
score on a romp around end by Ba-
singer, and Swank place-kicked for
the extra point to bring the score
| to 10 to O.
Bluffton romped up and down the
field almost at will in the contest,
with the teams power particularly
impressive in plays around the ends.
Moser and Basinger did some nice
running in the assault on the fanks,
aided by beautiful blocking, and
Swank tore the Ada line to shreds
in power dives thru the center.
Defensively the Pirates were like
the proverbial stonewall, with an
aggressive line doing yoeman serv-
ice, and Swank was outstanding in
backing up the forward wall.
Buttons starting lineup included
Lewis and Art Hilty, ends; Som
mers and Howe, tackles; H. Hilty

Many Nimrods Take TO Woods on
Opener of Squirrel Season
Saturday found many nimrods al
daybreak reclining on favorite log
or stump in the woods of the Blufftor
hunting area. Shooting irons were
well oiled to preparation for the occa'
sion which was the long awaited op.
ener of the squirrel season.
The past two years has found squir
rels plentiful in this area and whether
or not this season will compare with
the take of the past two years still
remains a question. In the southern
Ohio counties squirrels were not near
ly as plentiful as last year, but here
in the Bluffton area which is in the
northen zone there is a variance Of
opinion. A good many hunters re
port that there seems to be as many
squirrels as last year, while just as
many others say there seems to be 9
scarcity.
Some hunters report female squir
rels taken seem to be still nursing
young which indicates that some are
rearing the third set of young thi:
year. Ordinarily squirrel will rails,
two sets of young year. This extra
set of young raised would be an af
frmative argument for those hunters
reporting more squirrels this yeal
than last.
Squirrels are plentiful within tn,
corporation limits of Bluffton and a.
result the wooded areas neighbor
ing the town are repopulated from
the surplus reared within the corper
alton. This coupled with the fac
that the club has five game reserves
in operation outside the corporation
and one within should be good reas
on for having a good crop of squir
rels distributed thruout the hunting
area every year.

wonders of the Blue Hole whose
stream of clear, cold rushing water
rises from the depths of the earth to
feed the famous trout stearms of the
area. Trout in the streams We're
abundant and eagerly rose and fought
for scraps of food tossed in by the

American Egrets Seen Near Findlay
at Van Buren, Lake

American egrets, resembling cranes
but having snow white plumage,
bright yellow bills and coal black feet
and legs, proved a red letter day of
bird study for Richard S. Phillips, BIZ
ology teacher and ornithologist of the
Findlay High School last week.
Phillips sighted the birds at the east
end of Van Buren, Lake where they
were feeding and stalking along the
shoreline.
The American egret is nearly ex-
tinct and is seldom seen farther north
than Tennessee, except at this time OF
year when many are seen in the Lake
Erie district. The bird is protected
by strict federal law. 1t will be re-
membered here that Phillips address
ed the Sportsmen's Club last fall al
Bluffton on the subject of predators.
