number of gallons or cubic feet
If the contents. Then when the
lob is completed, the customer
finds himself presented with an
exorbitant bill. It is felt that
some publicity should be given
this matter in an effort TO pro-
tect our citizens against what is
virtually becoming a racket IN
some sections of the State.
No individual, firm or corpora
ton engaged in the business of
pumping out septic tanks and
privy pits is approved by the
State Board Of Heath, nor does
any such otfit officially repre-
sent the State Board of Health or
any county health department.
Citizens are advised, if in doubt
concerning the need for having a
septic tank or privy emptied, to
call the sanitation supervisor OF
the local health department for
advice.
The State Board Of Health does
not recommend emptying such
structures of their contents until
necessary. A home septic tank OF
sufficient volume for the family
served ordinarily should not
have to be cleaned for a period
of eight to IL years. A pit privy
should not require emptying un-
til the pit is approximately full.
It is suggested that before any
one is employed for such an opera
ton the local health department
should be consulted for advice
as to the need for the service.
Do not be misled by high pres
sure from the individual seeking
to render the service for price.
Prices charged for this service
have been excessive in numerous
cases. Citizens who contract for
such scavenger service are ad-
vised to contact on the basis OF
a definite volume of the contents
of the tank or privy before hav-
ing the work done. This can be
determined from the inside leng-
tn and length of the structure and
the depth of contents to be re-
moved. moving the exact
volume in gallons or cubic feet
of contents to be removed will
enable the individual to know
what the final cost of the job will
be. No one should contract to
have such work done solely on a
unit basis, since this gives the
INSCRIPTIONS operator an oppor-
tunity to charge the unsuspecting
individual an exorbitant price.

Health Board Warns
AGAINST Racketeers
by Felix J. Underwood
Executive Officer

Quite few citizens have been
the victim of all the earmarks of
what seems to be racket which
has been going on in certain
parts of the State, according to
reports reaching the State Board
of Health. A few scavenger out
fits are making business of
pumping out the contents of sep
tic tanks and pit privies. 1t APP
pears that certain of these in
dividuals represent themselves
as being approved by the health
authorities and promote their
employment by telling prospec-
tive customer that the health de-
partment has ordered all septic
tank and privy pits emptied of
tn cir contents. Furthermore,
when securing a job, they do
not give the customer a lump sum
bid, but base their price on a
unit basis, that is, on the supposed

What They Remembered
John tells US that it would be
y impossible to write down all
that was then known of Jesus
life. Out of the 400 days (at least)
during which Jesus public min
istry lasted, not over 40 are re-
corded, even in part.
Yet what these men did re-
call and record is enough to
reveal a rnatch,ess Person. A
fifth Gospel might enlarge our
knowledge of Jesus; but 1t
would not greatly change 1t.
Jesus never wrote a book, not
even a letter so far as we know;
yet such words of his as were
remembered have Influenced
the world.
Jesus entire public ministry
lasted a shorter time than it takes
to go through college; yet what
he did has had a deeper effect on
the world than the work Of any
university graduate in history.
Jesus started no corporation. no
formal organization; yet out Of his
fellowship have grown the greatest
institutions in the world.
Why They Remembered
THE STORY Of Jesus was re-
L membered and recorded by his
followers partly because they could
not help it. They could not forget
him and did not want to forget
him. One thing is true Of all those
who lovingly cherished these men,
cries Of the Master: they loved and
adored him.
No unbeliever ever wrote .
Gospel. Plate wrote no life u
Christ. Even II Judas had lived,
he could not have written one.
Our Gospels were written by
men Of faith, for the purpose OF
calling out faith in others.
''These things were written
that ye may believe that Jesus
Il the Son Of God" John 20:
81.
In one sense of the word we
could write q better Gospel now.
for today 10 centuries Of Christian
experience are behind us. and those
centuries are full Of the doings Of
Christ through his church. The
four Gospels tell US Of what Jesus
did In Galilee. But now We can tell
the story Of what Christ has done
In Africa and Greenland and Aus
tralia and America. Reading the
Gospels IL interesting. 1t il i'm
portant; but the reading has not
hit the bull's-eye if It leave you. the
reader. merely better informed
than you were.

1T BOTHERS some people to dis

WORLD SERIES IS OVER

The 1949 baseball world series ended Sunday, the New York Yankees of the American League winning from the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National League by score of 10 to and the championship, taking four of five games.
 From spectacular standpoint the series not exciting until the Sunday game The series however have been excellently played and from baseball standpoint good exhibitions of the national sport One might say that four games were pitchers duels
 One thing noticed is that the big htters of one league fail to connect when meeting the other league teams This it is said is because the heavy batters get onto the hurlers of the rival association
 Anyway, the American League defeated the Ma tionals in well played games. It might be mentioned that the Yankees have 12 world series games and the Dodgers have been loser in five times up.

That Vaughan was fully aware of Maragon's activity was indicated later by the fact that he called Massey to make sure that his Mill waukee friends were getting the contract
 Vaughan also called another Mar itime Commission official named Roger Vaughan, asking him to see [ Hiram and Stefanich. Roger Vaughan. when queried, said he was no relation to the General. i However, he sided with Maragon in awarding the Luckenbach con- ] tract to Vaughan's Milwaukee pals, despite the earlier opposition of Massey.
 Maragons badgering continued, and Massey describes another meet ing in March 1949 as follows: Mar agon's manner was extremely off cious and again he talked in a tone of giving me an order to award the contract to the Atlantic Marine Salvage Company"
 By this time. the Maragon- Vaughan combination had gone over Massey's head to Admiral Smith, chairman of the Maritime Commission and to Commissionel Carson. And, despite previous re- fusals by lower officials to give the Milwaukee firm contract higher up in the commission fin ally yielded. Maragon and Waugh an won out

AFTER TRUMAN's VACATION

Shortly after President Truman came back from his Key West vaca- tion in December, 1948, Robert Stefanich of Milwaukee, represent ing the Atlantic Marine Salvaging Co.,, of Milwaukee, dropped in at the Maritime Commission to see if he could salvage the ship which had sunk just 25 miles northwest of Key West. The Commission told him to send a diver down to look at the cargo, after which they would talk to him.
 In January, 1949. Stefanich came back, said he had not been able to send a diver down, but wanted a contract for salyaging the vessel just the same. His conversation was with Jerry C. Massey, Admir- alty counsel of the Commission, who later reported:
 Since he had not done what he promised, I considered he was vast ing my valuable time desperately needed on other Maritime Commis. sion business and making a nuis- ance of himself I told him so in so many words.

MARAGON THROWS WEIGHT

Because of this, the private ln- surance companies through their agent, the Cargo Salvage Co.,, signed a contract Nov. 6, 1947, with Clark Brothers of Palm Beach, Florida, to salvage the cargo of the SS Luck enbach. This contract had no time limitation and is still legally in effect.
 However, one year later, the amazing MT Maragon and the Pres idents military aide stepped in and pulled the rug right out from under them. Instead they secured a pro- visional contract to recover the sunken ore for their friends, Rob- ert Stefanich and Zeke Hiram o1 Milwaukee.
 General Vaughan used to be manufacturers representative II Milwaukee and is a close frien6 of Harry Hoffman, Milwaukee ad' vertising man. Hoffman is thu man who arranged to have thu seven deep freezes sent to Mrs Truman, Vaughan and other big. wigs at the time Maragon wa! caught smuggling perfume, though the deep freezes were paid for by the perfume company-which, a about that time. purchased fou airplanes and three yachts at amaz- ingly low prices from the govern. ment.

Maragon.
 "Maragon stated that he would go into the matter of obtaining a contract for the Atlantic Marine Salvaging Company, and then he would report to General Vaughan.
 "In the course of the conversa- tion," Massey continued, "he (Mara- gon) repeated several times I will go back and report to General Vaughan I resented this. Mara gon gave me the definite impress sion that he was an employee of General Vaughan. He talked tc me in tone of giving me an order that the contract be given the At lantic Marine Salvaging Go. also resented this. The above caus- ed me to express my feelings rath- CT heatedly."
 Massey was so upset by Mara gon's highhandedness that he dis cussed the matter with two asso- ciates, Joseph Tarian and Charles E. Kaufman, and asked them tc sit in as witnesses if Maragon call ed again. They did so and, after the next meeting, Kaufman wrote report which stated:
 T asked who he (Maragon) represented and he replied I'm with the General That meant nothing to me so I asked what General and he answered, General Waugh. an'"
 Before Maragon left he said he was with the White House. Il was my assumption that he was 2 federal employee, probably attach ed to General Vaughan's staff As a matter of fact, during oul first meeting, Maragon went to my desk, asked for the White House and spoke to someone there."
