Manager Hired to Raise Pheasant
Chicks for Sportsmen Club

A new program has been inaugur-
ated this year by the Sportsmen's club
in the restocking department. Edgar
Root, restocking director, announces
that no pheasants viii be raised by
individual club members as has been
the custom in the past. This year a
manager has been hired to raise all
the pheasant chicks as unit instead
of farming out the cages as has been
the practice in previous years.
Roy Clements, club director in
charge of pheasant management, has
secured David Rosenberger, Bluffton
College student, to raise the birds
this spring. Ten cages, each a feet
by 2 feet by 10 feet, housing Is birds
each will be placen on the old tennis

As has been the custom in the past,
bidrs will not be put on any farm un-
less the landowner makes written
request for pheasant chicks TO be re-
leased. Last year there We're far
more requests than there were birds.
This year the birds will be released on
first come first served basis to give
every landowner an equal opportunity
to have some birds restocked on his
land.
Those persons wishing birds releas-
ed will address their request to Roy
Clements, R. r. 2, Bluffton.
1t may be of interest to the men,
bers to know that a ringneck raised
to maturity is valued at better than
$500 by pheasant farms. So if the
club can raise at least 100 of the birds
this spring the investment will be
worth at least $500.

Three fox hunters southeast of
Bluffton have bagged Ia foxes in this
area during the past season. The
trio, Dean Moore, Wayne Cooney
and Justin Klingler live near the
junction of Route SO and the Lin
coin highway.
They hunted without dogs, one
man driving car while the other
two worked thru section, picking
up the trail in the snow. When the
animal was driven from the woods
or other cover it was practically out
of action as each of the hunters car
ried a high powered rifle and knew
how to use it.

Foxes have been on the increase
here for several years and have been
making serious inroads on poultry
and game
As a paying proposition, however,
the venture was not too good, as the
pelts averaged only $3.50 each. How
ever, they said there was a lot of
satisfaction in eliminating destructive
marauders.
This month is a good time to
eliminate foxes, sportsmen said. The
young come out of their dens in May
and betray their presence by leaving
feathers, bones and other litter in
the vicinity.

Jud Klingler, well known fox hunt
er, has Gagged at his farm two puppies
which have been living wild exist
ence. The two dogs behave very
much like foxes and scamper for a
ground hole under stump where they
had evidently had their den when Jud
approached. Pheasant wings, bones
and feathers were in the den entrance
and the pups are wild and ferocious
as other wild animals. He captured
them with the aid of neighbor after
they had them cornered later in a
culvert. How the pups happened to
be living as wild animals remains a
mystery.

NLRB attorneys with regard to the anti-labor tactics of the company could have been taken from the files of the LaFollette Committee dec ade ago. But these events occurred in 1943 and 1914.
 WORKERS ATTACKED
 The case which the Board made out against the company showed that mObs of strong arm men on the company's payroll violently at- tackled men and women distribut- ing leaflets outside the gates of the steel corporation for the United Steelworkers-CIO. Despite requests for protection, so-called public peace officers made no attempt to restrain the violence occurring in their presence.
 A highlight of the Boards case was the testimony of an FBI expert that the payrolls of the company had been altered to show that men identified as having been in the mob of attackers were not paid during the time of the violence. Actually the FBI investiga- ton disclosed that the company had originally credited the men for the time spent in breaking up the distri- button of leaflets.
 Dan Baydes, active in the CIO union, testified that attempts had been made by the Company to pre-

SocialAgencies Receive Labor's s Initial Requests

Three recommendations having a bearing on the strengthening of working relations between organ ized labor and social agencies in the community were made at a meet. ing of the Labor Participation Com. mittee of the New Haven Council of Social Agencies last week, ac. cording to a report issued last night by Max Livingston, council president and committee chairman.
 In order that the viewpoints oi labor might receive careful considera- ton in the determination of any stand the Council of Social Agencies might take in matters pertaiing to social legislation, the committee recommend ed that one of its members who repre- sents organized labor be appointed to the legislative committee of the Coun- ell of Social Agencies. This recom- mendation will be presented at the next meeting of the councils executive committee in January.
 The committee also urged that the Counil of Social Agencies con. suit agencies on the possibility of maintaining evening office hours for the convenience of those em. ployed during the day.
 The third recommendation, in line with the committees interest ill pro- noting knowledge and understanding of social services available, in the com ,munity, was that the council publish a directory listing local agencies, with addresses and telephone numbers, clas- sifed under types of service, copies tc be distributed to members of organ ized labor at their places of business and at union meetings.
 Other matters discussed at the meeting included the representation of organized labor on the boards of directors of social agencies, and plans for future meetings of the group.
 The A.F.L. was represented at the meeting by William P. Enright, Painters Union; John M. Dillon, Carpenters Union, and Nathan Sherman, editor of The Union Times. In addition to CIO repre-. sentatives, the meeting was also at. tended by Miss Elizabeth Fox. head of the Visiting Nurse Assn., and John R. McCurdy, head of the

could rent a $4,O0O house for $40 a month. $5,000 one for $50-for just 19o of the cost price <. for a period of AS months. After the two year period of rental, the family could de- eide to keep the place and the law would apply the rent as down pay ment.
 BUILDER HOLDS TITLE
 The builder holds title to the house and lot for the first AS months and would get a small monthly service charge for his fee-an amount not over H12th of 19O, or say $3.33 on $4,000 house.
 Breaking down the DeLacy plan still further, it goes like this: You rent a $4,000 home at $40 a month of which $10.20 per month goes to the down payment; another $26.47 goes to the retirement of the mort gage each month and $3.33 goes to the service charge. At the end of ~ months, the family would have accu- n1ulated $47o.40 in the down payment fund, and have reduced the mort gage by $1,245.0o. Thereafter you'd pay only $26.47 month and receive title to the $4,000 home.
 The plan is not for the very Iow- est income groups, but any family making $40 or more a week in ac. tuA take home pay

$l,95O Yearly Is
 Barely Enough

WASHINCTON-If you're the wage-earner in the average city family of three people and you don't make at least $l.O5 an hour, 40 hours a week, the government figures you'll have rough time breaking even on living costs this year.
 Last year, the Labor Department announced today, you could just about make the grade living ssyery modestly"-on a net income of $l,95O annually, after taxes or about $l.O3H an hour. But the Bureau of Labor Statistics esti- mates living costs are up two per- cent now compared with 1924.
 Easing its report on cross-sec- ton survey of approximately l,7OO consumers in l02 cities, the, bureau found that, in 1914, nearly fourth of all city families of two or more persons had net incomes of less than $1,o50 And, said the bureau. these went into debt or drew on savings to keep abreast of expenses.
 $l,95O JUST ENOUGH
 On the average, the $1, ,9SO was ssjust enough" to cover living ex- penses, small gifts and contribu- tions but left nothing for savings such as War Bonds and life insur- ance premiums. However, the bu- reau said, families i'm this bracket did buy an average of $l68 in War Bonds, going into debt or drawing on savings to do so.
 Half of the families and single per sons in the nations cities had net in comes of less than $2,700 in 1914 = when family incomes reached their highest level in history. About one fifth were under $1,50O.
 LAST YEARS FAMILY
 Last years $l,95O family = which, in l941, could have gotten along on $1, ,475-spent an average of barely 9 cents a meal per per- son and $50 month for housing, fuel, light and refrigeration. .In- come, personal property and poll taxes accounted for $Il9, the bu- reau said.
 The report estimated that in half of the families with net incomes of $3,O00 to &,0O0 year, at least two persons were wage-earners.
 PRICES ROSE
 As incomes went up last year, food expenses likeise climbed, the survey indicated. This stemmed, the Bureau said, as much from eat. ing out as. from the ability to buy more expensive foods or serve greater quantities. However, it was noted, too, that retail food prices i'm cities rose g per cent between 1941 and I944.
 The Bureau figured that single persons; living independently, covered expenses if their income after taxes averaged $1,150, but had no net sav- ings. About .two-fifths of all single men and women were below that fig ure last year, it said, and, ran into debt.
 Only l2H per cent of the na- tion's wage-earners- single or mar ried-had incomes of $S,OOO a year or more after payment of faxes. The survey fixed the aver age net income i'm this bracket al $7,634, of which $4,324 went for food, clothing, housing, medical care and other current consump. ton expenses and $2856 represent. ed. War Bonds, insurance prem ium, or other savings.
