SCHOOL BOARD
OKAYS $4,000
FOR THIS YEAR
Salary Schedule of
$1,000 Is Set Up;
Splitter Renamed Head

Appropriations amounting to
approximately $4,000 were ap-
proved by the Marysville Board
of Education in its first meeting
of the new year, held in the Sen
ior building, Monday night. Dur
ing the meeting, the Board re-
organized for the coming year,
heard a report on finances of the
atheletic department and football
field, and transacted other rou-
tine business.
The 1947 appropriation is ap-
proximately $4,000 more than
that for 1916, L. c. Brubaker,
clerk of the Board, pointed out.
Of the increase, about half i S
taken up by employees salaries,
and the remainder, by an agri-
cultural training program for
World War II veterans, similar to
on-the-job training in industry.
Since the latter Is d Iederally-
sponsored program, h an dl e d
through the Veterans Administra-
ton, the local school will be re-
imbursed for its expenses in the
vet training program, Mr.. Bru-
baker said.
Salaries Are S7l.000
Biggest item in the new ap-
preparations is 100000 for teach
ers' salaries. Other salaries, in
Icluding janitors, superintendent,
secretary, attendance office, ETC.,
come to $1,000, making a total
of $71 900 for all salaries.
The remainder of the approp-
ration includes $4,000 for bond
retirement and interest, while
fuel, textbooks, maintenance of
buildings and grounds, utilities,
miscellaneous supplies, etc. make
up the remaining $4,000.
Charles L. Splitter was re-elect-
ed chairman of the Board, and
Vernon Swink, vice chairman. Mr..
Brubaker was named clerk for
two years at the beginning of
1916. Other members of the Board
are Frank Rupprecht and H. P.
Martin.
Will Paint Buildings
John Stricken, art teacher, and
Paul Wenzel, history teacher and
football coach, discussed painting
the interior of the schools as a
summer project. All three build
ings are badly in need of COM
plete repainting inside, and the
Board agreed to have the two
teachers do the work. 1t is consid-
cradle of an undertaking, and
may require three summers in or
der to complete all three build
ings.
Mr.. Splitter was appointed by
the rest of the Board to serve
as its representative on the school
athletic board, to be available for
consultation where necessary.
An increase of $40 per month,
effective Jan. l, was approved in
the salaries of cafeteria cooks.
Efforts to get fourth new school
bus will be redoubled, and addit-
ional dealers will be contacted.
Mr.. Brubaker, as clerk, was re-
quested to meet with Marysville
Council to ask that the proposed
increase in municipal sewer rem
tai not apply to the schools, mas
much as they are tax-supported.
Already, the schools pay nearly
$500 per year rental.

UNION SECURITY: Closed
shop contracts, providing that

Union shop contracts, provid-
ing that employees must join

agreement. A separate, special
election is required for this pur-
pose.

Meyer Admits
Two Others Split
Party Checks

John w. Meyer, fast talking pub
lie relations man for Howard
Hughes, threw the crowded hearing
room of the Senate War Investigat-
ing subcommittee into laughter to-
day by admitting he was slightly
in error Saturday in testifying he
never saw any one else pick up q
check during the war"
Only slightly abashed, he made
the admission when the committee
reached items on his expense ac-
count showing that in June, 1945
two bills for entertainment were
split, one with Al Bloomingdale
the other with William Cagney.
That's unbelievable, but it,.
true" said Mr.. Meyer, when tht
first split check was read, showing
he paid only half.
Il think he deserves to get his
picture in the paper"
When Senator Ferguson suggested
he identify Mr.. Bloomingdaie, Mr..
Meyer said with smile:
He owns a small store in New
York-he can afford It," Mr.. Never
later, identified Mr.. Cagney as a
producer.
