Three Fire Cause
Only Minor Ddmoge
Over Weekend Here

Three fires over the weekend
caused only minor damage accord
ing to Kelvin Payne, fire chief.
The first occurred at 5 p. m.
Saturday, when a call was re-
ceived from the Carmean and
Rausch Store of North Main street.
Upon investigation, the smoke and
fumes proved to be from an over
heated furnace. There was no
damage to property, according to
Mr.. Payne.
Less than three hours later a
call was received from Russell
Kimble, of la Oak ST. Mr. Kimble
has been building an addition to
his garage, and piece of plyboard
fell across an open furnace in the
structure, catching fire, and caus-
ing minor damage.
A burning fuel oil truck brought
the Marysville fire department out
at 1890 a. m. Monday. The tanker
was driving west along the CO.
lumbus road, when the driver,
suspecting trouble, got out to
check his truck.
George L. Weber, driver for the
Buckeye Transport of Galena, dis
covered the two right dual wheels
were on fire, and applied the fire
extingIliSher, before leaving the
area to call the fire department.
The hand extinguisher failed to
put out the fire, but the city fire
department arrived in time to
keep the flames from spreading,
and igniting the fuel oil the tanker
was carrying.
The carrier itself was not dam
aged with the exception of the two
tires, which were changed and the
truck was driven away.

evening, although both State and
County highway department main
tenance crews worked around the
clock for more than two days to
get them that way.
Main roads were plowed open
on Thursday, only to be drifted
shut Thursday nj ght by high
winds, and the work had to be
done all over again Friday.
Schools were back in session to-
day, after being closed all last
week due to slippery roads and
the cold. Driving was simply too
hazardous for school buses to at
tempt travelling on the back roads.
Inter-city buses of the Colum-

to operate most of the time, al
though a trifle late at times.
Trains Hours Late
But the New York Central rail-
road was not as fortunate. Wnlle
the few passenger trains operating
through Marysville were able to
make it, the morning train was
four to five hours late both Thurs
day and Friday.
While most stores in Marysville
remained open throughout the
week, some of them closed up Fri
day when a combination of cold
and snow kept most people at
home.
After the extreme cold of Fri
day and Saturday, milder temper
atures Sunday and today were ex-

Many scholars believe that let

great storm in 1909 came into
Shakespeare's possession and pro-
vided material for the first act OF
'"The Tempest" one of his more
famous plays. Strachey was the

William Strachey gave Shakespeare
additional details of the storm by
word of mouth after returning to
England in 1911.

Think how much electric service does to make
your housework easier! And then think how
little it costs! About the price of pack of

Which is just another way of saying that

Dear Gang,
Here I am in sunny Texas,
(sometimes). We left Frid ay
night and got here Monday
morning, the only time we were
allowed off was in st. Louis for
four hours. The country around
here is very dry. 1t hasn't rained
here since the last of November.
It is between 80 and 85 during
the day time and gets down to
30 each night.
AS you probably read, they
have stopped enlistments in the
guard. This was caused by groups
like ours, by the time we got to
Texas there were over 500 on our
train alone and the crew chief
told us that over 5000 men came
in that one day. He also said
that month ago that they
were overcrowded when they
had 10000 men here where the
capacity is only $4,000. We now
have over 10000 men. So we are
living in tents, it is like old times
with the scouts again. That COW

The food is good here, in fact
what have seen of it so far is
much better than we got at the
hospital. Here it is served at the
tables by Japs while there we

While at the hospital l saw 10
of the Marine Reserves who left
Columbus with me on Sept 4.
Most of them have been sent
back to the States or back to
duty by now. Perhaps you will
remember the Marine Reserve
softball team that played at Mil
ford last summer. The lieutenant
that managed it and three Of the
players are dead and four or
five others were wounded badly.
That's pretty high percentage
out of nine men. A lot of the 1T
men that left Columbus got it
up around the Reservoir last
month. / was lucky to get off as
easy as / did.
There were four or five British
Marine Commanders in the hos
pital with me. A company of
them fought with us in Korea.
They are all swell fellows, and
every Marine in the First Divis-
ion was glad to have them along,
I don't believe there are any bet
ter fighting men on earth than
they are. They suffered high
percentage of casualties. One l
talked to was hit in the leg, and
hip by four so cal. shells and
captured by the Chinese. After
six days without medical treat
ment he escaped and was picked
up by Marines of the Seventh
Regiment after he had crawled
back to our lines.
I got my back pay last week
and invested part of it in cam
era. The camera I bought would
sell for 5000 new in the u. S. but
/ got it for only fraction of that
from a Navy Medical Officer.

get a lot of use out of it. Two
dozen rolls of film came with it
and I'm going to take as many
pictures or Japan as can. II
and when l go back to Korea I'll
send it home of course.
During the time I've spent in
Japan I've been able to under
stand the Japanese people bet
ter. They are very clean and po-
lite, just the opposite of the Ko-
rearis. They seem to get along
very well with Allied Occupation
Personnel. One man that / knew
back at the hospital was a tank
driver in the Jap army that

looks about 18. Most of the mer
look much younger than they

No such luck for me.
Hope you are all OK.

ploye leaders feel that chances
for a postal pay increase will
be greater if the bill is divorced
from the classified employees pay

They also Justify their move by
declaring that. in past years,
postal employees pay raises in

pay boosts for classified workers.
'We merely lead the way and
Congress. as a matter of fair play,
always votes pay raises for classi-

one postal union official declares.
Whatever the validity of such an
argument. the regular Federal en-

Dispersal Not Feasible
Due 10 Time Element,
Rep. Sasscer Asserts

If an atomic bombing of WASH
ington is. imminent, the Govern
ment,s dispersal plan requiring
two TO three years for erection of
permanent buildings outside 20
mile radius will not answer the
problem, according to Representa-
tive .Sasscer, Democrat, Of Mary
land.
He told the House Public Works
Committee yesterday that "indi-
cations are that this world crisis
will either crystalize or clear up
before the expiration Of the con-
templated three-year period neces-
sary for the construction Of the
permanent buildings"
Consequently, he recommended
that temporary quarters be rented
or constructed "for the removal
Of just such records and opera
tions as would be necessary to
provide a continuity of Govern
ment functions should an atomic
attack occur"
"In either event." Mr.. Sasscer
continued, II strongly urge that
Government land, Of which there
is a vast amount not in use In
Maryland, be utilized"
In this respect, he concurred in
the views of Representative Smith
Democrat, of Virginia. He cited
Federal landholdings at Green
belt, the Beltsville Research Cen
ter, the Naval Ordinance Labora-
tory at White Oak, the Naval
Training Center at Bainbridge
the Patuxent Naval Air Station
Fort Meade, the Patuxent Wild
life Refuge, the Naval Powder
Factory at Indianhead, and census
bureau property at Suitland.
The aggregate amount of excess
land at these installations runs
into the thousands of acres and
in most cases the utilities are al
ready available for use. -. Mil
lions of dollars would be saved"

quested building funds for long

Unfortunately" he said, that's
the easiest thing to lop off. In
the end we have often found that
we have had to pay much more
than the original purchase price,
owing to the rising value of the
property"
Asked whether he approved a
recent proposal by c. Melvin
Sharpe, school board president, to
eliminate Junior high schools.
Dr. Corning said he could not
reply until a complete study now
in progress has been completed.
"It is a challenging idea," he
said.
Introduced by j. P. Sharon,
president of the association, DR..
Corning began his talk in the

cabinet of Prime Minister David
Ben -Gurion fell today over the
question of religious education
among immigrant children.
An opposition motion rejecting
Ben Gurion's religious education
program was adopted by a vote

immigrant children receive it
only if individually registered for
it. Members of the Orthodox re-
ligious bloc in the cabinet bit
terly opposed the program, claim

Ragerstown Relaxes
AS FairchiId Workers
Return After Strike
BY the Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Feb. IA
This community of $4,000. from
Mayor Herman Mills to filling sta
tion operators, relaxed today as
$500 Fairchild workers returned
to their jobs after the biggest
strike in the city's history.
The strike Of Local 842. UAW-
CIO workers, cost the community
almost SIS million in wages and
threw one worker out of every
five out of job.
The towns biggest strike was
one of the quietest. Police Chief
j. B. Brown said there was no
disorders, and picketing was so
quiet at the plant that no police
surveillance was needed.
A smoke bomb tossed near
pickets was the only episode.
The workers who had not re-
ceived pay check for five weeks
were jubilant. More than 5000
crowded into the State Armory
to roar thunderous approval of
the Negotiating Committees rec
ommendation that they ratify the
new agreement between the COM
pany and union.
The new pact calls for elimina-
tion of the company's merit system
of pay increases-at least for the
duration of the national emer-
gency. The merit system has
been the source of differences
between company and union
throughout.
The union has been insistent
it be dropped and an automatic
system of pay increases based on
length Of service be substituted.
The agreement also calls for a
15-cent hourly wage boost which
the Wage Sterilization Board will
have to approve. Present mini
mum is about $1.10 per hour.

Senate Group Urges
.Unification Plan for
Foreign Economic Aid

A Senate subcommittee recon-
mended yesterday that all future
foreign economic aid programs be
put under a single agency, built
around the Economic Co-opera-
tion Administration (ECA).
The group, an appropriation
subcommittee on foreign economic
cooperation, also proposed con-
tinuing aid to Western European
countries after the Marshall Plan
expires in 1852, partly as means
of encouraging those nation to re-
arm.
1t said, however, it is time the
United States realizes that large
blocs of people in many of the
countries of Western Europe are
opposed to a real military pre-
paredness program"
The subcommittee's proposals,
made in a report to the full Ap-
preparations Committee, were
based on study of economic aid
recommendations made last Sep
tember by Gordon Gray, former
Secretary of the Army.
Mr.. Gray was directed by Presi-
dent Truman to survey all United
States foreign economic relations
and submit recommendations for
future programs.
Mr.. Gray had suggested the con-
tinuance of aid to Europe and con-
solidation of all programs in q
single agency.

these and others of the Gray
recommendations to minute ex-
animation" both as to policy and
