Five New Allen County Officials

Five new Allen county elective

balance of the unexpired term.
Judge Smiths new term does not
begin until Feb. 9. Until DR.. Talbot
takes office as coroner he remains the
only Democrat holding county cleo
tive office. Barnett's new term does
not begin until September.
Holdover county officials are Judge
Moran B. Jenkins of Common Pleas
court, County Auditor Russell L.
Hire and Commissioner James M.
Jacobs. Judge Jenkins term expires
in February of 1851, Hires in March
of 1851 and Jacobs in January of
1851.
BY action of the state legislature
in 1947, pay increases are effective
in 1949 for eight county officials.
These raises will put total of near
ly $4,000 more into their annual pay
checks.
Pay increases provided are: COM
missioner, S2,820 to $4,000; treasur-
er, S4,430 to S5,329; prosecutor,
S3,805 to $4,946; clerk of courts,
$4,000 to $500; sheriff, s3,5T4 to
$4,646; engineer, s3,9S7 to s5,183;
probate Judge, S5,975 to S6,975.
Since public officials pay cannot
be increased during a term of office,
increases for Common Pleas Judge,
auditor and the third commissioner
will not become effective until 1851.
This was offset in the case of the
auditor when the legislature made
provisions for appointment of county
auditors as county agents of the
State Tax department for inheritance
tax collections. By this method
county auditor and treasurer pay is
equalized thru 1949 and 1850 until
legislative increases become effective
for the auditors in 1851.

PROM MANNERS-Jeannette
has written me from Edison High
ut Minneapolis and she thinks
teens would like to know exactly
how to behave at a prom. as for
many it Is our first formal. Gus
toms differ. but q few ideas might
help.
To start with. most Of us teens
are not used TO the late hours
which most proms require and we
wonder whether well get that
"after-11" look. No matter how
much we have TO do on prom day
it's the B. I. tbest idea1 TO take
little nap before dinner. At least
lie down with eye lotion pads on
your eyes. Quarrels. sore feet.
heavy eyelids, aching backs can
be prevented. A rest in time Is as
good as nine-nours of sleep.
Comes the big night, and the
first question Is whether or not to
meet the date at the door. Many
girls would rather have mother
open the door and then float down
the stairs ready to go. This is
fine but j.. don't keep him wait
ing! There's nothing against
answering the door yourself, but
somehow floating" down to an
admiring gaze starts the evening
of well.
DO speak admiringly OF
your corsage, but don't put it on
until you reach the powder room
at the dance.
DO let him open doors and
help you down stairs or curb. This
is the night to practice such cour-
tesies.
DO :. let your date find out
where to check coats. Arrange to
meet outside the powder room In
a few minutes. This gives him an
opportunity for last-minute get
readies." too. II the coats are to
be checked in the powder room,
still arrange to meet outside or
nearby. This eliminates any
chance Of missing each other In q
large place. Some girls carry
small purses with them all eve
ming long and some leave them
with their coats. If the coats are
checked separately it's a better
habit to carry the purse. The boys
don't have to chase after 1t then
when you want to freshen up. II
the purse is small, sometimes the
date will carry 1t in his pocket.
DON'T forget q needle and
thread! Especially when your
dress is net. cause in conga line
or just plain dancing. the skirt
can easily be stepped on and torn
or stretched. Many's the girl who
has left a dance because Of this.
DO introduce yourselves, or
be introduced to the chaperons.
The well hammered couple is al
ways remembered by them. And
chaperones are usually teen par
ents.
DON'T eat too many re-
freshments. Not many Of the girls
do because Of excitement. but the
boys.-are inclined 10 be rayenous
for exactly the same reason. Once
or twice is plenty. An attendance
snack can be found afterward.
DON'T run to the powder
room every few minutes. You
may think the boys need rest
from such charming company. but
they're more inclined to take a
hint for a ditch.

Natures Children

All cravings closely resemble
salmon both in form and behavior.
There is only one genus and five
species. The members are gamy fish,
always seeking clear cold water
where there are gravelly bottoms.
The flesh is very firm and delciously
favored. Indeed, I find the eoncen-
sus of those in the know, that these
fish are all one would desire as a
food fish and show and abundance
of vim, vigor and vitality.
The French call the CRAWLING ''un
umble chevalier." claiming the fish
feeds on gold. This may refer to the
feeding habits Of grayling who
never pass by water thyme, always
found growing at the waters edge.
When first taken from the water,
there is a decided fragrance of the
herb. It is not unusual that the
firm flesh partakes of the delicate
flavor. st. Ambrose, Bishop of Mi
Ian, in speaking of the grayling
said, "Arktic Cravings were the
flower of fishes
This grayling is the fabulous fish
in icy waters. Usually the fish is
heading downstream in a hurry. But
he is quick to strike at your lure.
One thing you must remember, gray
lngs have soft tender mouths. You
must retrieve them with care or
