PILFERAGE CONTINUES

Pilferage of Alaska freight shipments, although denied by union officials continues to cause Alaskan dealers and the shipping companies great hardship
 One Skagway electrical appliance dealer has stop ped all orders because of the increasing losses due to plferage stating, up to the present time We have had about fifty-ffty chance of receiving the num- Der of articles shipped-but on the last shipment we received only out of three intact while the others were broken open end the electric motors stolen
 Since nothing to be done to stop the pilfer- age this shipper goes i've forced to take the only course open to us and stop the shipments"
 During hearings held Juneau last year this ques- ton was brought to the attention of the Jackson congressional committee and union officials testfyng here were completely unaware of the fact that any pilferage had been going And of course it is more probable that the piferage is carried on in Seattle. However, it seems that something could be done to prevent such plain thefts and it would seem to US that the union officials themselves would insist upon the use of guards to prevent such a practice
 Recently in Seattle vessel was tied up. however, when the workers objected to the of armed guards stationed to prevent thefts.
 There has been talk of making shipments in steel locked containers this would probably add to the cost of shipment.
 It seems silly to say that those responsible for

NAyY'S PAINT

Most people don't realize it but the U. s. Navy is one of the worlds greatest users of paint. However, because of the present critical building situation, the Navy has done a unique job of curtailing paint purchases in order to make more of 1t available for veterans housing.
 This has been tough job For laying part of the fleet up in moth balls means that it must be thor oughly protected by paint for eff fective preservation. Also many ships, which were unpainted during the war, now should require re- painting.
 However, the Navy, by drawing on it's paint stockpile, managed to squeeze through the year l946 with 2 total purchase of only 5.2o4 GOO

 Taft went on to another question.
 A few minutes later Murray was reminding Senators about huge in dustrial profits on one hand and interrupted heSitated moment, declining wages on the other. Taft then asked: Isn't it better to bring prices down rather than raise wages?'
 Apparently the gentleman from Ohio had completely forgotten that he is the man who perhaps more than any other in Congress started prices zooming when he knocked the props from under OFA last summer.

 There are only three manuiac- turers of titanium dioxide in the USA-duPont, American Cyanimid, and Titanium Pigment Corp. Un- fortunately, because of the critical titanium shortage, some small paint manufacturers have been squeezed out, and some of the hig corpora tions have blamed this on the Navy. Actually. the Navy used only 25 percent of the domestic output of titanium dioXide during the past year, and next year will use even less
 Note It might be interesting for Senator Wherry's Small Business Committee to probe where the ti- tanium dioxide is really going. One big manufacturer which also pro- duces paint might tell an interest ing story.

Local Schools
Will Receive
More Money
Bill Would Increase
Allotment Locally
More Than $4,000

Columbus, Feb. 5-(Ohio Press)
Caldwell schools would get $55, 900
in state aid if the school financing
bill introduced into the 9th Gen
eral Assembly last week becomes
the new school foundation law.
Caldwell school teachers with a
college education would be assured
a $4,000 minimum annual salary in
the $4,000, ,000-a-year measure in
troduced by Senators Albert L.
Daniels (R-Highland,) and Virgil E.
Cramer (R-Lucas) and sponsored by
the Ohio Education association.
"Unless there is greater effort of
support we can expect the conse-
quences of substandard education
to have a most serious effect upon
the future prosperity of Ohio" spon-
sors of the bill said.
The increased grants, the spon-
sors asserted, are "a means of rails
ing the standards of education in the
lower and middle third of Ohio's
school system" and ITO make poss-
ible salary boosts to help stop the
flow of teachers into better pay
ing jobs elsewhere"
The bill includes major points ad-
vocated by OEA's representative as
sembly, in which delegates from
Noble county participated, and the
$4,000 minimum salary has the
backing of the OEA, Ohio Farm
Bureau, AMVETS ,and Ohio pastors.
The Caldwell exempted school
district would receive nearly $24, 900
more a year under the provisions
of the bill than the $32,773 it is
getting currently from the state.
Besides raising the minimum
guaranteed expenditure for each
pupil from $6750 to $109 for ele-
mentary pupils and from $81 to $131
for high school students. the bill
provides for changing the basis of
aid from average daily attendance
to average daily membership.

C. A. Ferguson
Named Division
Engineer Tuesday
Caldwell Man Returns
To Highway Post He
Previously Held

Charles A. Ferguson, of Marietta,
formerly of Caldwell, and son
of Mrs. William Ferguson, North
street, was appointed tenth division
highway engineer Tuesday by
State Highway Director Murray d.
Shaffer.
Ferguson returns to the position
he held from 1889 to 1914 when
Major Gen. Robert S. Beightler and
later Hal G.. Souers headed the
state highway department.
He succeeds Carl S. Kniseley,
who has served as division engi-
neer in the nine-county division
for the past two years.
The new engineer, who now re-
sides in Marietta, has been con-
nected with engineering all his
life. He spent his entire life in
Noble county and studied engi-
neering at Ohio Northern Univer-
sity, Ada. He spent 26 months in
the army during World War I,
serving II months in Europe with
the 308th division engineers.
Following army service, he re-
turned to Noble county and served
two terms as county engineer.
Later he served as resident engi-
neer in this county for the state
highway department. In 1899, he
was named division engineer, serv-
ing in this capacity for six years.
AThe tenth division comprises
Washington, Noble, Morgan, Ath-
ems, Monroe, Hooking, Vinton,
Meigs, and Gallia counties.
1t was also understood that W.
F. Bell, Dexter City, will assume
the new duties as personnel direc-
tor for the division.
1t is rumored that Ferguson's
appointment is creating a wide
split in the Republican ranks
throughout the district. 1t is
said that he failed to receive
the endorsement of a majority
of the executive Republican
committees in the nine coun-
ties.
Although a native of Noble
county, Ferguson's appointment
was fought bitterly by the stall
wart Republican key men in this
county-for reasons of their own.
Ferguson's appointment will
have direct bearing on naming a
superintendent of highways in
this county and the odds are now
on a dark horse.

Strict Quarantine
Placed On All Dogs

DR.. N. S. Reed, Noble county
health commissioner, announced to-
day that a strict six weeks quaran-
tine is being placed on all dogs in
this county by the Board of Health,
effective, Feb. 7.
The quarantine, as explained by
DR.. Reed, has plenty of teeth in il
and dog owners are warned to COM
ply in every respect.
Under no circumstances will any
dog be permitted to run loose dur
ing this observation-disclosures or no
license.
County dog warden Dale Reed has
orders to kill any dog which he
finds running loose during this
period and he will be acting with
full authority from the county
Board of Health.
Plans for the quarantine were dis
cussed at the regular meeting of
the board held Saturday.
DR., Reed pointed out that an
alarming number of citizens here in
Noble county are receiving the anti
rabies treatment and the quarantine
is another measure taken by the
board to protect the citizenry.
It is very simple. If you have a
dog, keep him tied or locked in
your barn.
Otherwise dog warden Dale Reed
may enter the picture and your dog
will have lived a short life.

day morning was one degree below
zero, according to Frank Burlin-
game, of Sharon. At 900 a. m. it
had risen only three degrees.
1t was the coldest morning of the
year and Burlingame thinks that
the grounding didn't have thing
to do with it.
In preparing his report for jan
uary, Burlingame pointed out that
4.91 inches of rain fell here, un-
usually heavy for the month. There
were four inches of snow.
High for the month was IS de-
grees, which occurred on three diff
ferent days, the 4th, 29th, and 30th.
The low was three above zero on
the 22nd.
January had IL partly cloudy
and l9 cloudy days, with out a sin
gle clear day in the month.
There were only two days when

ty had not been paid for jan

The order went to the Noble

who may appeal to the Public
Assistance Board of Appeals.
Such an appeal must be filed

Sherwood said this was the
situation in Noble county.
The auditor refused to honor
vouchers drawn by the county
welfare director, although the
county welfare department had
been in existence since March

The county commissions by a
resolution tried to abolish the
welfare department.
Sherwood said that in 1943 the
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1947-02-06

In abolishing the welfare
department, under the state set
up, the commissioners said they
would save $301.00 per month
for aid to dependent children
and $500 foc aid to needy and
blind. The biggest saving of
$587.00 a month was in direct
poor relief but so far the state
welfare has said nothing about
this department.
The commissioners contend
they know the local situation
better than any state welfare
department representative and
they have no intention of per-
mitting the state or any one else
to "spend extravagantly" the
taxpayers money in this county.
1t is definitely a test case.
