Raw Fur Prices
Hit Record Low

Ohio trappers will receive less
for furs this year according to
prices being quoted by dealers
throughout the state. Although
the fur take is expected to be a
little better than last season, it
will not be much help to the trap
pers' annual income.
Mink which last year brought
$22 each, are $14 this year;
muskrats last year We're around
81 but this year have dropped to
$1.75; the fox, which at one time
brought a handsome price, is down
so cents, hardly worth the skin
ming trouble if it were not for the
bounty paid by some counties as
an inducement to control the fox
population. Opossum skins are
selling for 80 cents and few trap
pers will bother to skin them. The
raccoon, once a popular fur, is
worth about $3.50.
The heavy demand for the long
haired furs has given way to the
more popular short haired furs
now in vogue which might explain
the drop in prices.
In 1945 Ohio fur dealers hand,
led 957,0S6 pelts compared to
60S,523 last year. The trapping
season in inland Ohio closes Janu,
ary Is but remains open until
March Is in the Lake Erie dis
trict.

Air Secretary Symington reflected the

the Jet plane is "a new and very tricky

ways-just because of its newness." His
remark was prompted by an inquiry as to

new jet craft are being tested. Mr..

More Pay for Teachers

To the Editor of The Star: &&
Some people seem to think that because Dis
trict public school teachers got a small increase
last year, they should get none this year. Such
individuals are opposed to teachers getting
more pay, if other District employees, along
with Federal workers. get increases.
Perhaps this is because of the impression
that teachers got raise of $500 last year, while
other public employees got no such general in
crease. This idea is quite erroneous. -Four hun
dred and fifty dollars was merely a temporary
increase, which teachers had received the year
before. This was made permanent; and small
increase;waS tackled on. Many teachers got only
sl5O more than they had received the year
before. Very few were raised more than 5000
above their previous salary. After deductions
for income tax and retirement, the increase
was nearer to 600 cents a month than $500
year.
incidentally, teachers will pay the sales tax
to furnish money for whatever increase District
employees may get, just as all other Washing
tonians will. 1t is hardly necessary to add that
the rising cost of living already has wiped out
the meager increase granted District teachers
last year. DON B. GOODLOE,

is but one thing for the pilot to do-bail
out. Even with multi-jet craft, like the
huge Flying Wing, one or more "hame-
outs" could be disastrous. Whether this
was the cause of the crash which de-
molished the experimental Northrup
bomber and brought death to its crew
of FIVE Air Force flyers may never be
known No distress call was received from
the plane before it crashed.
Air Force officers startled the subcom-
mittee by asserting that, at the present
rate of accidents, five hundred and seventy
fighter planes may be expected to crack
up during the next fiscal year Nearly
half of the fighters in use during that

take these new and "very tricky" jet planes

ture Society has called "The National
Tragedy of Divorce" Statistics show that
in 1890 there were 81 divorces for each
1000 marriages. In 1945 there were 310
divorces for each 1000 marriages. Today
approximately l marriage in ends IN
divorce and the trend continues upward.
There is no need to dwell upon the
destructive effect which these broken
marriages are having on the old disciplines
imposed by family life. Nor can it be
doubted that great many of our present.
day troubles are traceable to the growing
tendency to reduce marriage and divorce
to the level of the bargain basement. II
the courts, under the Constitution and
existing statutes, can do no more than
make a bad situation worse, then it is
time to try another approach-either
through congressional action or constitu-
tional amendment. In either way we
could at least put stop to the business of
shopping around for quick and easy
