majors" sharpen their pencils,
and, records show, the job is gen
orally forthcoming. Taxpayers
may be interested in knowing that
Erie Ordnance Depot has the repu-
tation of pairing costs to bare es-
sentials.
The funds for storage supply are
received on a different basis. So
much is allotted directly each
year for preserving the Army's
reserve of artillery stored at Erie
Ordnance Depot, and this must be
stretched to cover whatever work
is necessary. When this fund is
sufficient all is well and good, it is
pointed out, but frequently versa
tility must be shown by storage
workers and warehousemen in
properly caring for the half bill
lion dollars worth of artillery
stored at the post. That this has
been done-and Wells a matter
of record for Erie has set the pat
tern for economical storage meth
ods for other ordnance installa-
tions.
Sub-allotments have been re-
ceived during the past year for a
diversified group of projects
which have meant jobs for score
or more workers, and Erie is con-
stantly on the alert for more tex

BURKE BILL TO
AID BUILDERS
Veterans and LOw-IncOme
Groups Would Be Aided
BY Approval

WASHINGTON - A bill to pro-
vide direct Federal loans to meet
the housing needs of middle-in-
come families was introduced to-
day in the House of Representa-
tives by Rep. Thomas H. Burke,
Ninth Ohio District.
The bill comedies with H. R.
1850, introduced by Rep. Hugh B.
Mitchell ID. Wash.) and would
establish a program of direct Fed
eral loans, at lower interest rates,
to cooperatives and other types
of non-profit corporations and or
ganizations who would provide
housing for rental or for sale to
members.
Designed to aid families which
could afford $40 to $50 a month
for housing, the bill has the sup
port of many labor, veterans and
religious groups. 1t would not
supplant or alter any of the ex-
listing systems of mortgage insur-
ance under the National Housing
Act, but would supplement such
programs.
A Cooperative Housing Admin
istration,wit hin the Housing and
Home Finance Agency, and head
ed by Cooperative Housing Com
missioner is provided in the bill.

summer activities always means
an increase in both the quarter
master and signal offices of Erie
for these functions serve both
posts.
Another small sub-allotment-
but it's sufficient to pay the sal
ary of one automobile mechanic
comes to Erie Ordnance Depot
under the heading of military
maintenance. 1t is used for the
upkeep and repair of the automo-
biles used by the personnel in the
recruiting stations in this area.
The sub-allotment for the Post
Engineer is fairly large and con-
slant. These funds cover the op-
Grafton of all the post utilities,
and grounds and building mainte-
nance and improvements. 1t is
sometimes referred to as the posts
housekeeping" fund.
This all adds up to the fact that
Erie Ordnance Depot has twisted
out of shape the old adage that
to be jack of all trades is to be
master of none. Erie Ordnance
Depot has become both jack and
master, and by so doing has made
both pay off in regular jobs for
residents of this community.

RESEARCH PAYS OFF IN MORE
JOBS AT ERIE ORDNANCE DEPOT

LACARNE--Good old Yankee
ingenuity, combined. with smart
figuring, is essential in keeping
the shops and warehouses of Erie
Ordnance Depot humming with ac-
tivity, and pay checks coming in
for regular workers.
This deduction is obvious after
a review of the past years work
programs and the sources of reve-
nue. for these projects.
During "lean" years, when ev-
cry ordnance installation in the
country is scratching for work
and necessary funds to complete
this work, The records show that
Erie Ordnance Depot has become
most adept at convincing Wash
ington offices and other Army
posts that it has the right facili-
ties for doing many kinds Of jobs
better and cheaper than they can
be done elsewhere.
Payment for these extras" is
translated directly into pay checks
for regular employees who might
otherwise be laid off.
Erie Ordnance Depot spent ap-
proXimately four an a half mil
lion dollars during the past year,
three-fourths of this amount be-
ing paid out in salaries to civilian
and military personnel. This
money is received in two ways,
it is explained. There are direct
alloments from the Office of the
Chief of Ordnance and sub-al-
lotments in payment for work
done for other Army posts.
Direct allotments are made for
shop work and for storage and
supply projects, and they provide
the main operating budget for the
post.
Under shop work are the prior
ity orders for overhault of wea-
pons with stated budgets and a
deadline set for completion of
work. Once in a while the Office
of the Chief of Ordnance sends out
descriptions of needed shop jobs.

WEEKLY PAY AT
E0D is $4,000
$4,500,00O Paid To Workers
At Local Army Post
During Year

LACARNE-Erie Ordnance De-
pot poured into the towns and ci-
ties in it's vicinity approximately
four and one-half million dollars
during the past year, review of
the posts payrolls and purchases
for that period reveals.
The major portion of this sum
of money, approximately four mil
lion dollars, was paid out in salar-
les to civilian workers and off
GERS and enlisted men stationed at
Erie Ordnance Depot. Contracts
for major construction repairs and
remodeling projects and purchas-
es of supplies and repair parts for
equipment account for the remain
der of the total annual expenses
of this Ottawa County ordnance
installation.
The largest chunk of the payroll
remains right in Ottawa County,
it is estimated by Leroy Ansal-
wish, Port Clinton, fiscal officer of
the post, for two-thirds of the
posts 1850 members live in Port
Clinton, Oak Harbor, right on the
post, Marblehead and Lakeside.
The gross pay for the 500 civil
liam workers who reside in Port
Clinton amounts to approximately
$4,000 each week. Oak Harbor
employees have a total weekly
gross pay of approximately
$4,000. Fremont employees re-
ceive approximately $4,000 each
week, while Toledo employees at
Erie receive in salary approx
mately $1,000 each week.
The payroll for the military of
Erie Ordnance Depot averages
$4,000 each week, according to
John Rankin, Catawba Island,
chief finance clerk, and as all the
officers and enlisted men reside ON
the post, it is estimated that most
of this money is spent in Ottawa
County.
While the majority of purchases
were made right in this area, and
contracts for various improve
mehts were let to bidders from this
community, some of them, of ne
cessity, were with more distant
firms, it is explained by VIM. B.
Woolley, Willow Beach, purchas-
ing agent. ..\
The largest contract let during
the past year was for $4,000 to
cover repair work on pumps and
motors. The smallest purchase
was 2O-cent repair part for a
tractor.
What is the source of the four
and one-half million dollars spent
by Erie Ordnance Depot during
the past IL months ? This ques-
tion is asked by both employees
and the interested residents of
this area.
By far the greatest part of this
money is allotted by the Office of
the Chief of Ordnance for shop
production and for maintenance
in-storage on the half billion dol
lars worth of artillery stored at
Erie Ordnance Depot. Various
Embellishments, earmarked for
military maintenance and in pay
ment of special work done by Erie
for other Ordnance posts, are re-
ceived off and on during a years
time. These direct and sub-allot-
ments provide for the money spent
by Erie Ordnance Depot annually

trail for 16 miles over the old trail in a bowling blizzard into Paxon's Road House. The other three decided to go on. When the Goynes found them, one of the trio was dead and the other two completely crazy.
 All the oldtimers knew Frank Goyne and he often talked about "Old Judge" Wickersham, Bill Melee, and Swift Water Bill, who got his name because he would always pack around the swift water in the Yukon, never attempting to run the rapids as some others did. "He was either after the women," says Charlie, Tor running from some woman all the time. He finally died in Peru, where he got shot"
 Such was the life of the Goyne brothers, whose team has finally broken up by the death of the elder.
 For the past 25 years they have lived in Seward. Frank, a favorite with little children, could be seen any day with five or six little tots, clinging about his legs, interfering with his cane, but all having good time.
 Frank Goyne will be buried without spoken memorial or eulogy, as he wished, without church service or fanfare. Only his friends will accompany him at 1:15 Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 30, to the cemetary for a last farewell. He is now a part of the romantic history of our country, and what better epi- taph could a man ask?
