PLAN SURVEY
OF CONSUMERS

: What consumers plan to do with
the more than $l00, 900, 600, 900
they have in war bonds and bank
accounts will be the subject of a
Nationwide survey to be begun
January 6 by the Survey Research
Center of the University of Michi-
gan, DR.. Reisis Likert, Director Of
the Center, announced today. The
survey is being conducted at the
request of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
Interviewers will visit repre-
sentative cross-section of 300 Am
erican households throughout the
country, and will conduct hour
long interviews inquiring into
how much families and single
persons have saved and how they
plan to use their liquid assets dur
ing 1947.
Locally, the survey will be con-
Quoted by Mrs. Dale McKitrick,
$50 w. Fourth st. She will con-
duct a random Sampling in
Marysville, Plain City and Rich
wood, and in five rural areas of
the county. She planned to begin
the survey today.
Economists hope, DR.. Likert
said, that the answers will give
them clue to whether consum-
ers are planning to sepnd SO much
that inflationary pressures will
continue, SO little that the level
of employment may be threatened
or just about enough to balance
demand and output when indus
try is producing at high levels.
The findings which will be made
public, may help to answer the
questions of businessmen, labor
leaders, and other members of the
community as to how long heavy
consumer spending will last.

.SKIDMORETO
QUIT POSITION
AS ENGINEER
Resignation Is Accepted
BY Commissioners Monday /;
With Private Concern

Resignation Of Claude Skidmore
Union county engineer since 1941,
was accepted by the Union coun-
ty Commissioners during their re-
gular meeting, Monday. The resig-
nation will become effective Feb.
%.
Mr.. Skidmore has accepted a
position with the American BIZ
tumuls co. as field representative
in northwestern Ohio. His
principal duty will be to super
wise use of material on road pro-
jects where American Bitumuls
products are used. He will assume
his new duties March /.
First elected county engineer in
November, 1910, Mr.. Skidmore
took over the job in January, 1941.
He was reelected to another four
year term in 1914. Before he be-
came county engineer, Mr.. Skid
more had been deputy engineer
under Walter Griffith from 1882
to 1888, and then assistant engi-
neer in the headquarters of Divi-
sion 6, Ohio Department of High
ways, at Delaware, from 1888 to
1910.
Native of York
Mr. Skidmore was graduated
from York Rural high school in
1923 and Ohio Northern univer-
sity in 1892. He received de-
gree in civil engineering at the
Ada school. He moved to Marys-
vile when he first became county
engineer, and has resided on Ash
st. for the past 10 years. He will
continue to live in Marysville. He
is married to the former Mildred
Speer, of Ada, and they have two
children, Ben and Lois.
While county engineer, Mr.,
Skidmore has given Union county
exceptional service and has earn
ed several honors for himself. In
the six years he has served in that
capacity, the county has had sew
eral miles of hard-surfaced roads
added to its highway system, and
all roads have been maintained in
the best possible condition under
war time circumstances.
Only County Aided
Moreover, Union is the only one
of Ohio'S 88 counties to receive
federal aid in black-topping a road
under a postwar project set up
by the U. S. to provide assistance
to counties in improving secon-
Diary, or ''farm-to-market", roads.
Every county has applied for this
assistance, but Mr.. Skidmore is
the only engineer to have had any
applications approved and aid
started, to date.
Mr.. Skidmore was recently
elected vice president, of the AS
sociation of County Engineers OF
Ohio. He is also a past president
of the Marion Society of Profes-
sional Engineers, an affiliate OF
the Ohio Society.
No successor has yet been nam
ed to take Mr.. Skidmore's place
but it is understood at least one
registered engineer has been re-
commended.

To Mrs. S. J. D., Washington:
Grease spots on your living room
walls will always show, no matter
how many coats of water paint are
applied, unless you first give the
spots coat of white" shellac. Let
the shellac dry thoroughly before
applying the water paint. I have
used this method, successfully on
both papered and plastered walls.
From Mrs. w. E. c., LdndoDer.)
You might try this method which
proved entirely successful for me,
after all other methods had failed
to remove an unsightly grease spot
of unknown origin from new wall
paper.
Place hot iron over clean white
blotter placed on the grease spot.
Allow the hot iron to remain on
the blotter-covered spot until the
heat has penetrated. The heat
seems to dissolve the grease and
it is absorbed by the blotter. For
several spots, perhaps you should
use fresh blotters.

Has any one used the portable

they call the method heating by

are heated instead Of the air being
heated first. The kind I refer to
looks like large glass briefcase.
