Won't Fill All Vacancies
1t is Supt. Baldwin's opinion

Michigan Timber

Exhaustion of old growth timber
is expected in Michigan within the
next 20 years unless there is sharp
reduction in cutting. Some SO per
cent of Michigan timberland is un-
der public management, much of
which is being groomed for future
controlled cutting. Private owners
who control 95 per cent of Michi-
gan's marketable saw-logs-are be-
ing induced to work with the state

PLAN PETITIONS
TO GET HEARING
ON PHONE SERVICE
Subscribers Complaints
As Shown by Survey
Also Reviewed Tuesday

Petitions asking for hearings
before the Public Utilities Com
mission of Ohio concerning tele-
phone service in Union county
will be circulated among tele-
phone subscribers of the county,
it was decided at meeting of in
terested persons held in the Com
missioners offices, Monday eve
ming.
At the same time, reports on
the surveys conducted by Farm
Bureau councils throughout the
county were heard, listing I3 spe-
cific complaints which subscrib-
ers had concerning their service.
The meeting was the first held
since a citizens protest commit
tee" was organized a few weeks
ago. G.. L. Kingsmore, chairman
of the group, was in charge of the
session, a Wh h practically
every farm and civic group in the
county was represented.
The petitions will cover three
different territories: Marysville
and its allied exchanges, Rich
wood, and the Watkins territory
in which residents whose homes
are in sight of each other because
some of them are on Marysville,
some on OStrander, and some on
Plain City.
Principle complaint in tn e
Redwood area has to do with
lack of territory. People living
there cannot call more than four
! miles without paying a toll
charge. In Marysville and allied
exchanges, the biggest complaint
seemed to be overcrowding of
lines.
The. l3 different complaints,
from the several sections of I'm
ion county, were:
l. Too many phones on party
lines.
2. Lines too frequently out of
order.
3. Operators too slow in ans
Wering.
4. Reverting system on party
lines seldom ever works.
5. Too many private compan-
q, les in county, thus restricting the
use of some subscribers to only
one direction without toll calls.
6. Party lines generally so
noisy, can't hear. Reception very
poor.
7. Marysville operators to o
slow to answer; no cooperation
on part of operators.
8. Some operators too insult
ing; show a complete lack of
icourtesieS.
8. Some business phones on
party lines.
10. Not sufficient switches on
Raymond exchange to accomo-
date the number of subscribers or
patrons.
II. Faulty equipment in Mar
ysville, rings similar numbers
Father than the right number.
II. Fire protection in Millcreek
township provided for Marysville,
yet many in that territory have
to go through Delaware or Plain
City long distance to get Marys-
vile Fire Department.
l3. General protest on increase
of rates as filed by Ohio Associ-
ated for Redwood.

Airline Transport
Pilot Is Added
TO CAA Ratings

The rating of airline trans
port pilot has been added to
the list of Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration ratings for which
veterans may take flight cours-
es under the CT Bill, according
to an announcement from the
Boston Branch Office of the
Veterans Administration.
Flight courses under the law
previously were limited by VA
to those leading to CAA's pri-
vate pilot, commercial pilot,
flight instructor, instrument
rating and multi-engine rating.
Addition Of the airline trans
port pilot rating will open up
some advanced instrument and
radio courses not offered before
under the CT Bill. Most of the
other requirements for this new
rating already have been in
cluded in other flight courses
available to veterans.
VA doesn't pay for flight train
ing unless it leads directly to a
CAA rating.

ancholia, the Special Services

conducted 109 recreational trips
for patients in the areas eight

past six months.
This record was contained in
a report released this week by
the Boston Branch ONCE of the

in the report showed
that a total Of 79,416 patients
attended the 2e6 entertain
ments given by stage screen

auditoriums and that practical
ly all patients confined to beds
were entertained by the ward
shows.
The recreational trips, num-
bering more than 100, consisted
of picnics, sightseeing trips,
hikes attendance at plays, cir-
cuses and other activities. More
than $500 patients benefited by

THE class-conScious Com.

the thoroughly worthy colored
American organizations as col

liberals seeking to better the
colored mans plight, who have
no part Of the Communists real

labeled 'Trotskyites. Doubt is

credit them"
Colored people, along with

NEW YORK - Communists
have intensified their efforts in
enlisting the support of the COL

discouraged by the. facts which
indicate the colored people
generally recognize that Com
munists seek to use them in
developing the "class struggle, ."
FBI Director J Edgar Hoover
warns in a signed article in the
February American Magazine.
Mr. Hoover exposes methods
by which the Communist party
hopes to achieve what he in
sists is their objective - the
destruction of the American
way Of life. The red scourge OF
Communism, he says, is boring
through the United States like
a termite with a power and in
fluence that is all out of pro-
portion to the party's member
ship.
Communist officials lament
the low percentage of colored
party members" he writes.
Under the guise of champion
ing a just cause, the Commun-
list seeks to further his own dia-
bolical ends. Much is promised:
little given.

New Years Day Became
Just That Back In 1852

When England changed New
Years Day from Mar. rs to
Jan. / in 1852 and adopted the
Gregorian calendar, thousands
Of Eng'ishmen suffered a pro-
longed lost weekend" - and
it wasn't caused by an excess
of holiday convivianty.
According to the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, the change in
the calendar made it necessary
to wipe out II days of the year,
which was done by declaring
that the day after Sept. 2 was
Sept. IA, not Sept. 5. This
brought England into step with
the Catholic countries, which
had adopted the Gregorian call
endar in 1882.
incidentally, George Wash
ington was born "on Feb. %
(old style Feb. III according to
the Encyclopedia Britannica.
During the early Middle Ages,
Mar. rs was considered the first
day Of the new year by most
Christian people, but in Anglo
Saxon England the Britannica
points out, New Years Day fell
on what is now Christmas -
Dec. rs. At the time of the Nor
man Conquest of England, how
ever. william the Conqueror
ordered that the year should
start on the first Of January,
possibly, it is believed, because
his coronation was scheduled
for that date.
Still later, England reverted
to the custom observed by the
rest of Christendom and began
her year on the 25th Of March,

and that date remained the
first of the legal and ecclesias-
teal year until 1752, when the
calendar was adjusted to the
Gregorian system which is still
in use today.
The ancient Egyptions, Pho
enicianS and Persians began
their year at the automnal
equinox, Sept. 81, according to
the Britannica, and until the
fifth century before the birth
Of Christ, the Greeks regarded
the winter solstice, Dec. 81, as
the first day of the new year.
The notion of celebrating New
ears Day on Jan. / was intro
duced by Caesar when he
adopted the Julian calendar
and postponed the Roman hol-
iday Of New Years from Dec.
21f to Jan. 1. ~
Even today, New Years is
celebrated on a wide variety of
different days. The beginning
Of the Jewish year, for instance,
falls some time between Sept. 6
and Oct. 5, depending on the
date of the beginning of the
month of Tishri. According to
the Encyclopedia Britannica,
the new civil year for the Chin
ese begins with the first day
of that moon in the course or
which the sun enters into the
sign of the zodiac which COR
responds with our sign Pisces"
The sun enters Pisces about
Feb. 10.
The MohammedanS keep holy
the first ten days Of Moharram,
the first month Of their year,

Siam, the new year is celebrat-
ed for three days.
