Every high school girl wants

'the comb" as being the most inn

simple.
Second to the comb is the heal

Two Cops Hailed AS
Heroes For Saving
10 Kids From Fire

OAKLAND, Calf. - (ANP)-Two
Negro police officers received hero
concentrations here last week for
their quick-actioned rescue recently
of 10 small children from blazing
multiple dwelling house, and aiding
16 adults and children to safety.
The fire broke out in a three-story
frame building, housing eight famil-

Patrolmen James Z. Bracket and
Hedwick Thompson passed the biuld

children in their arms while herding
the others in front of them. Their
rescues were made in relays. Brack-
EFT carried out 10 children and
Thompson, nine. The ages ranged
from two months to six years.

Higher School Costs
|Are Factor as Most
State Budgets Rise
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Feb. THE Ma
tons cost of State government
is going up by more than two and
a quarter billion dollars.
Virtually ALL 48 States this
year are asking for or already
have record nigh spending pro-
grams. Higher school bills are a
major factor.
The larger budgets are caused
by greaJer demands for education,
for generally rising costs of serv-
ices and materials, and for ex-
pansion programs for mental hos
pitals. highways and public aid
and welfare.
Dollar Size Jumps.
The dollar size of budget plans
has jumped in all "A States where
comparable figures are available
An Associated Press survey to-
day showed that the total budget
requests or grams for the 1949
fiscal period in a. States is SILL

The comparable figure for the
previous period is $9,280, ,200, 900.
This representygrants by As States

Education is the chief reason
for the increases in more than
half of the States. At least 26
States find their biggest single
money problem is for higher
teacher salaries, for more State
money to help local schools, and
for improvement of State-aided
colleges and universities.
Operating Costs Rise.
Fourteen States report their op-
Grating budgets are up chiefly be-
cause they must pay more for
wages. supplies, equipment and
buildings.

Here is an excerpt from the report OF an

In each instance the fireman was not IN the Gao

The simple truth is that there's an i'm
portant Job to be done by an additional
engineer on modern high powered DIESEL
locomotive. And at the same time it's essen
tial that the freman-helper should be re-
leased to do his own indispensable job in
the front cab.
Two Railroads Already Agree
It 50 happens that two great Eastern rail.
roads seem to be already in agreement with
US about this necessity. Today these two
railroads assign an employee other than
fireman to supervise and adjust the engine
room machinery en- route, thereby leaving
the engineer and fireman to- perform their
important duties in the cab. We are glad
that these two railroads feel that the small
extra cost is far better than gamble with
human lives Our plea is that every rail-
road in the country should feel the same.
We say that there is something more i'm.
portant than talking about "feather-beds",
and making light of possible disaster. We
say that the public safety, as we'll as the
future of high-speed railroad travel, calls
for an adequate number of men to handle
the Diesel monsters that speed crack trains
across the country.
