Want The Same Tag
Number? Here Is How

Motorists who desire the same
number on the 1850 license plate
as they have now, must follow a
new procedure to obtain it. They
must apply to the Motor Vehicle
Bureau in Columbus and it will
cost them an added dollar.
This ruling does not apply to
motorists who secure their plates
through the Cleveland AAA. The
AAA reports they will continue to
service with their AA to Az serv-
ice, as usual.
All license numbers up to 100
are to be held in Columbus. They
will not be obtainable locally. All
numbers from 101 to 80 must also
be secured through the Columbus
office.
Motorists whose numbers fall
into this category, or who desire
the same number they had last
year, should apply to Frank M.
Quinn, Registrar of Motor Vehicles,
Columbus, Ohio. They will receive
a form to be filled in and returned.
1t would be well to attend to
this promptly.

Citys Shopping
Sees Cost Drop

Routine business that always
comes along at this time of the
year. took up most of the time at
the City Commission session Tues
day night. It's a case of squaring
off this year and getting started
for the next.
In a long list Of bids of routine
needs Of the city for 1850, includ-
ing items from gasoline, sand and
salt, to fire hydrants and traffic
lights, as read by Finance Director
G. T. Apthorp, there was noted a
slight decrease in the cost of a
number of items. When asked
about this, Mr.. Apthorp expressed
the opinion that this was due to
competition, rather than to actual
decreases in current prices.
The city uses about S11, 900 worth
of gasoline a year. The contract
at 17.7c goes to Pocohantas Oil Co.
City Service gets the kerosene bid
at 1850 per gallon, and a new
Chevrolet station wagon will be
purchased for $4,000, which is 500
less than that company's 1948 bid
The city maintains the policy OF
replacing tires on all fire equip.
ment annually. The old tires are
transferred to service equipment
Goodrich Rubber Co. gets this bic
on a $36.03 per tire and $3.77 pei
tube rate. Twelve tires and tubes
will be purchased.
Harry Windsor was re-appointed
as a member of the Sinking Fund
Trustees for four-year term, and
David Brooks was re-appointed to
the Civil Service Commission for
siX-year term.
Ordinances hiked the fee for skee
ball and shuttle board games from
S. to SO a year; strengthened the
city's legislation on sanitary regu-
lations by requiring the steriliza-
tion Of all utensils and containers
used in public eating places; and
increased the fees required in the
moving of a building within the
city.
On December 9th there will be
held a public hearing on the 1850
budget, based on the estimate as
presented by the City Manager,
Chas. A.. Carran. 1t calls for an
estimated $751,945 for general op-
Grating fund. No increases are in
cluded for salary adjustments.

HOmemakers
Reduce Work

Ohio rural homemakers in 1948
were most interested in learning
about new ways of preparing
food, training children, making
clothing and caring for their
household furnishings, according
to the annual report of Minnie
Price, state home demonstration
leader.
This interest, she says, led
1854 of them to seed and adopt
methods of making their work
easier, living more economical
and of ways to improve family
life throughout the home as we'll
as at the dinner table.
Announcing that Ohio Home
Demonstration Week will be held
May IT, she reveals that the
theme this year will be ''Today's S
Home Builds Tomorrow's
World.
Now is the time, the state lead
er states, for all Ohio women in
terested in solving the many
problems of daily homemaking
to become affiliated with the
home demonstration activities in
their counties.
Programs are being planned
by county home demonstration
agents and advisory councils to
carry out the projects in which
local women want to participate.
Last year, 1929 women receiv-
ed help in remodeling kitchens,
while 26,l54 adopted new meth
DDS in constructing clothing,
4,965 in selecting home furnish
ings, l7,427 in preparing food,
1926 in training children and
4,342 in using their time and en-
ergy more efficiently.
Much credit for the success of
the home demonstration pro-
gram, Miss Price states, must go
to the 1896 women located in
communities throughout the
state who served as local lead
ers and advisors.

Unemployment
Is On Increase
Average Check
Also Increased

The 79,741 claims filed with
the Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation last month repre-
sented a IS percent increase over
February and a 1877 percent in
crease over March of last year,
BUG Administrator Frank J.
Collopy reported today.
However, Collopy said, last
months claims figure was about
Is percent below that of March,
l946, when postwar reconver-
sion prompted considerable
amount of short-term unemploy-
ment.
Among the factors contributing
to the unemployment trend last
month were work stoppages in
the coal mines and continued
layoffs in the automobile, gar
ment and other industries.
Unemployment benefit checks
last month went to a weekly av-
erage of 94,258 persons and the
total amount paid out in benefits
under both the Ohio Unemploy-
ment Compensation Law and the
CT Bill of Rights was $8,326, 756.
That amount was 81 percent
higher than February's figure
and more than double the total
for March, 1948.
Of last months benefit total,
more than a third - roughly
S3,340, ,O00-went to unemployed
veterans under the CT Bill.
Funds for the CT program are
provided by the Federal govern
ment with the BUG serving as
an administrative agent for
Washington in the handling of
that program.
EX-servicemen drew $40 of
every $l00 paid out in benefits
during March. Veterans also ac-
counted for 80 out of every 100
benefit recipients and for "a out
of 100 persons filing claims.
The average weekly check for
unemployment under the Ohio
law last month was $19.09, an in
crease for the ninth consecutive
month The average was the first
to top the $500 mark since
April, 1916.

est single increase in benefits
since l9l2-iS now in the Ohio
Senate, after approval last
Thursday by the House of Repre-
sentatives.
By a vote of l22 to 0, with
Representative George c. Phil
pot supporting the bill, the
House approved the measure
which has been agreed upon by
the Ohio Manufacturers associa,
ton and labor unions which
would:
Raise the weekly minimum
compensation of injured workers
from $25 to $50.
Raise the death benefits from
$500 to $4,000
Add loss of hearing to COM
penSable claims and allow 2S
weeks compensation for loss OF
hearing in one ear and l25 weeks
for total loss of hearing.
Other Benefits
Increase by 10 weeks the per-
lod of compensation of a worker
for loss of hand, arm, foot or
leg. The payment period now
ranges from Is to 2l5 weeks for
various injuries.
Set limit of $4,000 on all pay
ments in temporary disability
cases. The maximum is now

$40 week for the same period
Grant worker who quits be-
cause of simple silicosis $40 d
week for 80 weeks plus a max
imum of $40 for an additional rs
weeks if he loses part of his

only $40 for 20 weeks for such
workers.
The bill also provides for re-
placement of artificial teeth and
dentures damaged on the job. II
increases funeral allowances
from $3.50 to $500 and gives more
protection to the widow of d
worker receiving Workmen's

Rep. Ed Wilmer, D., Stark
chairman of the House industry
and labor committee, said the
bill represented the greatest ad-
Ilvancement in benefits at one
time since the inception of the
law in 1912.
All payments under the com
pensation law are charged to en-
ployers.
If and when it is approved, al,
workers in Noble county will be

New Bulletin Describes
Use OF Pressure Gamer

Successful and safe use of a
pressure Gamer depends on oper-
ating it at the right pressure, say
home economists at Ohio State
University.
In new bulletin just released,
they point out that the pressure
guage, as well as the safety valve,
must work accurately if the can
ner is to be safe and food proper
ly- processed.
Explaining that many cases of
inaccurate guages are difficult to
detect, the home economists cite
the case of one pressure Gamer
clinic where 446 Gamers were
tested. Of these, So percent had
inaccurate guages, and SO percent
had safety valves that leaked.
Gauges and safety valves
should be checked at least once
each year, or more often, they
say, if the Gamer is used con-
tinuously, or has been subjected
to damage. These can be checked
and repaired by sending the can
ner cover to a pressure Gamer
manufacturer who offers such
services, or to an authorized
gauge testing organization.
Since some county extension
offices are equipped to- give this
type of service, it is recommend
ed that hOmemakers contact their
home demonstration agent before
arranging for service elsewhere.
This new bulletin, No. 306,
How to Use Your Pressure
Cooker" gives complete instruc-
tions on proper use of the pres
sure Gamer, and can be obtained
from county extension offices
throughout the state.
