Rise In Pay Asked
For ArChivists
DeValinger Says Staff Lost Many
Members BY Low Salaries

State Archivist Leon deValinger,
Jr., has asked the Public Archives
Commission to seek higher salary
schedules for it's staff members.
Mr.. deValinger, in his annual re-
port for the period ending June,
1948, said the many personnel
changes made during the period
would not have taken place if the
salaries paid by our commission
were equivalent to those of indus
try or even those of some other
state departments"
'WaSteful Practice
The state aTchivist pointed out
in his report that "it is an extra
VACANT procedure to train employ
/ ees merely to lose them because of
inadequate salaries. This is not
only a. wasteful practice but a bur
den to the administrator and the
remainder of the staff" He also
pointed to the high cost of living
and it's effect on staff members.
Another need termed urgent by
Mr.. deValinger is the employment
of an assistant state archivist

ent prospects are that 1949 will
be a far buster year at the West
Perry street plant.
On February 28, Mr.. Zetzer an
nounced the company's name will
be changed to the Port Clinton
Manufacturing Company. "While
we have plenty of orders to keep
us busy for a long time, lack of
materials is holding us up,"he add
ed.
At the present time, &C workers
are on the staff at this plant. In
the near future, the personnel
peak is to be increased to at least
100 workers. Monthly payroll at
present is $4,000.
Manufactured at the local plant
are screw products, tools and dies,
gauges, fixtures, jigs and special
ty machinery.
Expects Big Year
Norman d. Shafer, manager of
the Kelley Island Lime & Trans
port Company, Marblehead, ex-
poets that 1949 will be a bigger
year even than 1948 during which
the company processed 100000
gross tons of stone at its Marble
head plant. Mr.. Schafer said that
year-round employment at his
plant totals 220 workers.
Celotex Outlook
Herbert Coon, manager of the
local Celotex Corporation plant,
predicts that employment will re-
main about the same as during
1948, when the IT'S workers were
paid $4,000 monthly.
While there is a seasonal slump
at present, Mr.. Coon expects the
.demand to return to normalcy
soon. He added that 194S was a
record year at his plant in the
wallboard division, but not in
plaster.
At Matthews Company
Carl Matthews of the Matthews
Company, builders of world-fam-
Gus cruisers, said that there has
been a slight slowing-up of de-
mand in some areas but that en-
ployment might remain the same
in 1949 as it did during 1948.
Average personnel employed at
the boat plant totals 155 and the
monthly payroll is $45,000.

OHIO FARM Land
VALUE AT PEAK
Price Today is 139 Per Cent
Higher Than Average
During 1859

Farm real estate prices in Ohio
have leveled off the last few
months at the highest Ohio farm
land price in history, Mervin G.
Smith, Extension economist at
Ohio State University, reported
today in summarizing comments
and observations received from
throughout the state.
Farm land prices were reaching
a peak on July /, 1948, Smith says,
when the U. S. Department of
Agricultural Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics, reported the Ohio
price was about 139 per cent
higher than the average price
during the 1858 period.
This means, Smith explains, that
Ohio land which cost 800 per
acre 10 years ago would now COM
mand a figure Of about $239 per
acre on the average.
Reports received by Smith indi-
cate that sales of farm land have
been moving slower the past few
months than in the previous 6 to
II months. More difficulty has
been encountered, too, in some
sellers getting the original ask
ing price on their property.
Farm land prices go up and
down, the economist points out,
about one or two years following
similar fluctuations in farm in
come. Since farm income has lev
eled off the last two years, the
present leveling off of land prices
was expected.
Land prices continued to in
crease in some other states from
July / to November /, 194S, and
for the entire country, farm real
estate prices increased per cent
during the four-month period.
