day.
AS mayor of the bustling Midwest
ern town, 35-year-old Lavier D.
Humphrey puts on his executive
hat" and, like mayors the country
over. deliberates highway improve
ments, tax rates, police affairs and
garbage disposal.
Then he switches to dungarees
and an oil workers safety helmet
for his eight hour day job as
operator in Shell Oil company's re-
finery in neighboring Roxana. Start
ing with the company as a laborer
in 1888, Humphrey has worked up
to his present job as an operator in
the lubricating oil plant.
DOnning a worn but service
able baseball cap-symbOlic of
his intense interest in youth of
the town - Humphrey turns to
his third major interest, that of .
providing suitable recreation fa-
cilities for Wood River young
sterS. He has established SUPER
vised Fairgrounds for young
sters of all ages and currently is
sponsoring the conversion of
15-acre corn field into a ball
park and recreation center.
The mayors fourth activity-the
one of which he secretly is most
proud-is his famed Junior G-Man
club, first of its kind in the country.
Humphrey and Police Chief Frank
Starkey formed the club after
youngsters caused $500 damage to
municipal property during Hallow-
cen night festivities in 1914. Club
members cooperate actively with
police; they report parking viola
tions, speeders, red light crashers;
they unmasked a peeping tom al
ways one look ahead of police, and
they aided in detecting a gang of
vandals who were breaking into the
local high school. Since the club was
Halloween damage has
cropped TO less than $25.
Humphrey admits, however, that
his fifth job is the hardest: The CO.
ordination of all his activities within
the limits of 24-hour day. Under a
Shell policy encouraging employees
to participate in civic activities,
Humphrey often finds, himself wear
ing the mantle of each of his jobs at
once.
Between sandwich bites DUR
ing lunch hour in the refinery,
he may hear citizens COM
plant that his neighbOr's chill
drdA get up too early, study
report on Speeders from trust
ed Oman lieutenant, review the
latest set of ball park plans and
even go over his own refinery
reports.
Enthusiasm is this young Mid
westerner's main trait - cohta-
gious enthusiasm of rolled up
sleeves, hard work and the deep
that comes from ac-
complishment.

OF Brokers for Bonds
In Absence Of Bids

Prince Georges County commits

gotiations for their sale with either
Of two brokerage firms.
The firms, one in Baltimore and
the other in New York City, submit
ted tentative proposals to the COM

speculate as to the reason for no
bids being submitted, but said he
did not believe the maximum in
terest rate of per cent. as set by
Maryland law, was factor.

q par value of $1,000, had been Of
fered for sale. They would be pay

Employment Still
|At ALI Time High

In news release from the
Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation it was learned that the
number of jobs filled by the
Employment Service has drop
ped off after reaching high
during the month of June when
28,297 jobs were filled. Accord
ing to the division the drop in
the number of vacancies filled is
about one tenth of the June total.
However this is in keeping with
the normal seasonal trend.
In one Ohio city more than one
thousand persons applying for
work in the city were placed in
jobs in another city during the
last month, The drop in the num-
Der of jobs filled occurred in all
occupations, ranging from a
twenty percent drop in the pro-
fessional and managerial brack-
ct to about eight percent in the
skilled worker group. The only
industrial group to show an in
crease were non-domestic serv-
ice workers such as those en-
ployed in hotels, barber shops

Urge Farmers To Keep
Big FlOckS OF LAYERS

Ohio pouitrymen are advised
by specialists in rural economics,
Ohio State University, to plan to
keep as large laying flocks this
winter as can be taken care of
well with available housing and
equipment. The reason for the
advice is decrease in the num-
ber of pullets raised in 1948, as
compared with 1947; an expected
brisk demand for eggs while
meat supplies are short and high
priced; and an anticipated big
supply of feed with lower prices
for grains and concentrates.
Poultrymen kept the total pro-
duction of eggs well up toward
1947 levels during the first half
of 1948. but drop of 5 percent
in the last six months of the year
is foreseen Storage supplies of
eggs are larger than at the same
time last year, but a high rate of
production per hen will be re-
quired to hold 1948 egg produc-
tion near the total required to
supply consumers.
The feed situation is pointed
out by University economists as
the principal change in the poul-
try outlook, as compared with
the outlook in August, 1947. At
that time, farmers were advised
to reduce poultry flocks because
feed prices were high and were
expected to go higher, while
prices for eggs were expected to
decline as soon as the rate of lay
increased in the early months of
| 1948.
The predictions of the econ
omists last August were accur-
ate; feed prices went up and egg
prices the first half of 1948 were
SO near parity levels that the
government bought eggs to sup
port the market. No one could
tell last fall what kind of grow
ing season would affect l948
crops; and, even an average sea-
4 son, might produce too little
feed to affect prices for grains.
| Government crop reports now
indicate an all-time record pro-
duction of feed grains in 1948.
The economists expect a shifting
of prices SO conditions will be
more favorable. for the produc-
tion of poultry and poultry pro-
ducts. Prices for chickens are ex-
pected to set record high this
fall, and the price of turkeys is
likely to be 10 percent higher
than l947 levels for these holiday
birds.
