with maximum experience,
who have given the longest
service and are hardest of all
10 replace.
New examinations under Civil
Service may be required.
And employees who have pre-
viollsly been certified without
examination, promoted, given
pay increases, and given broader
responsibilities may lose their
jobs to younger people who have
boned up on the book - but
might take ten years acquiring
comparable insight to do the
Job with maximum efficiency,
meanwhile adding TO the city's
training cost.
For example:
. There is a woman who
has worked in several depart
ments in the city for IL years.
After a job study, she was
given even more responsibility.
She's been so busy working at
her job, she hasn't had time to
study it. She might funk an
examination-and the city and
the public would be the losers.
So would she.
. There is a man who has
worked for the city for 35
years in one job. His title has
been changed half a dozen
times, but the job is essential
Iy the same. He took an exam
and was certified. But a new
applicant might easily beat
him out In a new examination
and no one would gain a
thing.
There are two women,
each with at least 20 years in
their jobs, both certified, both
frequently given more res
possibility, and both likely to
lose their jobs If a new ex-
animation is demanded.
. There is a man, a veteran
OF World War /, who got his
fob under the veterans prefer
ance provisions of those days.
The veterans preference was
presumably an attempt to give
some reward, however slight,
for his service to his country.
But that was a long war ago.
Many have forgotten 1t. And
now the veteran city worker
! is faced with the threat of
competing with new corners
for a job which performance
should have made his own.
"a man In a supervisor
capacity, with ten years SEMI
ority, has never taken an
exam. 1t was never required
of him. He has been perform
ing his duties to everyOne's
satisfaction. The examination
might easily replace him.
The Civil Service Commission
has agreed to give up to 10
points on any examination as a
balance against IA years of serv-
ice; and it is considering exemp-
ton of S year employees from
any new test.
But the question seems to be
whether legality or common
sense will be the actual measure
In the case.
Some of the oldest employees,
in point of service, were auto
matically certified under a City
Charter in 1914. The charter
established exams, but specified
incumbent jobholders were ex-
empted.
This clause was later tested
- in 1929 - and upheld. En-

Spiritual Defense al

America needs not only strong

Our Army, our Navy and our
Air Force are today in a condition
of readiness never before equaled

equipment and their weapons are
the best ever devised, and even
better ones are being developed.
Goals Of Mankind
But no armed force, no matter
how strong. can guarantee peace
and freedom to the world. nor
security to ourselves" he warned.
"Only by closing the broad CULTS
between opposing systems in the
human family and. by making
available to all peoples the instru-
ments for attaining the human
satisfactions that are the goals
of mankind, can international
friendship be achieved. In this
field lie our chief responsibilities" I"

Moy You Prevent Your
Neighbors From Cooking Onions?

An elderly couple lived in an
apartment over shoe store. AS it
happened, both husband and wife
dearly loved onions and cabbage
and they ate these succulent foods
every day in the week. In fact, they
even kept their windows closed, SO
as to preserve the beloved odor as
long as possible! AS a result of
this habit, the smell seeped down
into the store below When the
storekeeper's complaints were I'M
availing, he went to court for an in
junction. The judge decided that it
was perfectly legal to cook onions
and cabbage in an apartment, but
it wasn't legal to impose the aroma
on the neighbors. He therefore or
dered the couple to provide ventila-
ton so that the odors could go out
side, instead of downstairs!

just an unfortunate accident, but
the court nevertheless granted the
riders claim. The Judge said that,
there being no evidence of anybody
tampering with the latch, some
thing must have been wrong with
the mechanism-and that was the
fault of the bus company.
A childless couple took in a o.
year-old orphan as boarder. Soon
they became so fond Of him that
they went through a formal pro-
ceeding to adopt him as their son.
After the couple died, several of
their relatives went to court to con-
test the validity of the adoption.
They said that the law authorized
adoption of children" only-and
that a person who is over 81 is no
longer a child. However, the court
disagreed and held the adoption
perfectly valid. The judge said the
parent-child status still existed.

Leaving his son aboard, the man

80 miles away, where he got back
on the train. The youngster en-
joyed the excitement, but the faith
er was just plain mad. He sued the

Fishermen Urged To Not
Make Field Day of
Opening of Season

Innumerable hosts of fishermen
flocked to the trout streams Oh
the opening day, as usual, and
met with varying success. There
were evidences that adjustment
by the General Assembly of the
two-day-for-$r non resident trip
license and substitution of the
$40 nonresident season license
had an effect in keeping down the
pressure on the streams from out
of-State anglers.
The Commission is much con-
cerned over the established Gus
tom of the people of making a
field day of the opening of the
trout season every year and catch
ing out large percentage of the
recently-stocked hatchery trout
before these fish have a chance to
become acclimated. Efforts are
being made to work out some
equitable system whereby what
is in reality a marvellous trout
program can be kept from being
so greatly nullified by the heavy
catches with natural bats in the
first few days Of the open season.
The situation was helped to
some extent this year because OF
the open winter, which made it
possible to get the trout into the
streams early. The output from
the hatcheries this year was the
largest in history and the fish
were widely distributed along
the streams. But this did not pre-
vent a larger percentage of the
hatchery fish being taken out by
the early-season fishermen. 1t is
a serious problem how to pro-
vide trout fishing throughout a
long season when the rush to the
streams is so great at the begin
ming.
Many trout will be placed in
the streams later, but the anglers
would enjoy some of the finest
trout fishing in the East through
out season which lasts until
September Is if there was any
way to solve the problem of the
opening day mania and the in
roads of the meat fishermen. Pre-
season fishing was reduced to a
minimum this year because of
the notable improvement in war
den activities. But there is no

DOGS SHOULD BE
VACCINATED
(Communicated)

Since it is probable that the
Board of Supervisors will not
pass any ordinance this year re-
quiring the vaccination of dogs
against rabies, tbs is to urge dog
owners to make arrangements to
have their dogs vaccinated, any
way, for their own protection and
for the protection of their neigh
bors.
This county has had an ordin-
ance for the last few years requir
ing dog vaccination. The ordin-
ance was generally observed, and
in consequence rabies and run
ming fits among dogs have been
almost eliminated. This year with
no ordinance requiring vaccin-
alton, a majority of dog owners
will probably not bother to have
their dogs vaccinated, and later
on we will likely have such an
epidemic of mad dogs as will
aStonish the natives. Then frantic
cries will go up for protection and
for the passage Or an ordinance
requiring that dogs be confined
the greater part of the year.
Ordinances requiring the con-
finement Of dogs over long per-
iod is worth but little. To tie an
old dog up for weeks may cause
it to develop fits and then maybe
rabies. And, anyway, what good
is a dog if you have to keep it
tied? If this comes to pass, as it
is nearly certain to do without
dog vaccination, the dogs that
are vaccinated will not have to
be confined. That will be worth
ten times the trouble that it will
be to take them to some point
for vaccination.
Practically the only trouble we
had in this county last year be-
cause of mad dogs was caused by
small dog that was undoubted-
ly brought to this county from
just across the line in Kentucky
and dropped by a man
and dropped, That dog bit numer
Gus people and one innocent child
suffered and died from the eff
fects of a bite, and the county
paid out $658.00 for treatment of
others who were bitten by the
same dog. Still, we have "patri-
otto" citizens who oppose the vac
cination of dogs.
No criticism of the Board of
Supervisors for falling to con-
tinue the dog ordinance this year
is intended. Perhaps the mem
bers properly take the view that
dog owners should have their
dogs vaccinated without having
to be made do so.
