recommended by the personnel
board. The board has refused to
recommend a pay hike for the po-
lice. =
But Plummer Shearin. attorney
and president of the County Chart
er Committee, disagreed.
Council Has Authority
Mr.. Shearin said the council
"does have the authority, despite
the failure or refusal of the per-
sonnet board, to recommend to in
crease or decrease the salaries of
any department. division. or agen-
cy of the county government"
Some council members have ex-
pressed willingness to give the
police pay raise out of the emer-
gency fund. Mr.. Shearin argued
that this could be done.
The police want an increase to
bring them in line with District
policemen who are now getting
$1,000 a year for a starting wage
compared with $3,369 in the coun-
ty.
MacDOnald's Ruling
Mr.. Macdonald said the council
could appropriate the money if it
so desired, but it would lie idle
if the personnel board failed to
come up with a new salary recon-
mendation.
docs anyone seriously contend
the county personnel board by
mere failure. to act, could thwart
the councils proposal in this mat
ter?" Mr.. .Shearin asked.
He said the salary question was
legislative matter and the sole
authority to enact laws, ordinance
es, rules and regulations is en-
trusted to the council.
The prominent charter leader,
active in the movement for several
years. said the county charter
seems clearly intended to subordi-
nate the appointive board to the
council.
Mr.. Macdonald said the coun-
I'll approved personnel board sal
airy regulations several years ago
and they could not be changed ex-
cept on recommendation of the
board.
Cities Charter
Mr.. Shearin, however, asked if
t could be contended that "once
4 regulation is approved or disap-
proved. such action is then ex-
hausted? ?"
"Such construction . if ad-
hered to would deprive the coun-
Gil of its indispensable authority

County Home
Demonstration News

Dear Homemaker:
1t certainly has been a long
time since I have written news
letter to you folks!
Now that our Annual Report
has been sent in, this season Of
the year finds us not too over
whelmed with meetings. This
week finds us with the Olive
homemakers on Wednesday and
the Belle Valley homemakers on
Thursday.
have not had any chance to
talk to the home demonstration
council members since our very
wonderful Christmas at Home
Show. 1t was most outstanding
display of unusual gifts, in fact
Mrs. Alice King, assistant home
demonstration leader, said it was
of the "bestest" shows she at
tended; That's quite a compli-
ment, my friends. Anyway we
certainly hope lots of people got
lots of ideas. Thanks so much for
the wonderful cooperative spirit,
which makes Christmas all the
more meaningful!
There was toy at the Christ
mas show, easy to make, which
I'm sure some of you would be
interested in. Especially because
you might have the supplies on
hand.) This toy was a little ball,
soft and noiselessl To start it,
you cut old nylon hose into ~
to 2" strips round and round,
using the entire hose. 1t will
take about hose. Cut off the
toe and save two toe pieces, half
way between the heel and toe.
You will use these later.
Begin winding by stuffing
toe piece with scraps, keeping
the strips flat as the ball is
wound. turning to keep the shape
round. When the ball has reach
ed the desired shape, cover with
the toe piece that is left, tuck
ing under the raw edge and cat
ching it with needle and thread.
Tie the cord firmly around the
ball so that it is divided into
eight sections, like an orange.
Hold the cord at one end and do
all turns from that end.
Now you are ready to weave
yarn around the ball. You do
this by passing the needle under
2 cords, which you can call
cords ] and 2. Bring the needle
back and pass it under cords 2
and 3. Each time, the last cord
under which the needle passed
for the previous stitch is the first
cord under which it is passed
for the next stitch. Work from
opposite ends, meeting in the
center for best results. Hope
maybe some of you will try this
ball before Christmas for one of
your youngsters.

Mankind,
My Business"

Annually at the anniversary of Jesus birth, mil
lions read Charles Dickens Christmas Carol
Millions Of others will listen on the air to Lionel Barry
he perennaly interprets misery Scrooge both
villain and hero of the tale.
1t is well to read the immortal little story about
mean, grasping, pennypinching Scrooge whose sharp
mind is continually dreaming dreams and seeing vi
ions To him appears the ghost of his former partner
Jacob Marley In life Jacob Marley had been as hard
nails and stingy and patry old Scrooge himself
Now from the world of shadows, Mareys ghost
does his utmost to save parsmonious Scrooge from the
disaster which had inevitably overtaken him AS the
ghost wrngs his hands and deplores the shortcomings
and omissions of the life he had lived earth Scrooge
manages to inject these words, falterngy and with
quaverng voice: "But you were always good mar
of business Jacob"
The rejonder from the ghost of Jacob Marley
supplies effective commentary on the great avoca-
ton before us at Christmastde:
Business" cried the ghost, wringing his hands
again. Mankind was my business. The common vel
fare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance,
benevolence all my business The dealings of my
trade but drop of water in the comprehensive
ocean of my business!"
And so it was!
And so it may be!

Lesson for December 20: Isaiah 2:
"a; 9: 2, ST; Like 2: 8-I4.
Golden Text: lSaiSb g: 6.
On this last Sunday before Christ
man Day, we consider some pas
sases from Isaiah and one from
Luke. So confident is the great
Isaiah about the events of which he
writes that in some place he uses
the present tense as if the events
were actually happening.
But in the first passage, he writes
that II "shall come to pass in the
latter days" that the Lords house
shall be established. But in the
following passages he writes of
present fulfillment. Then, in the
last passage, he again uses the flu
ture and writes of the increase of
Christs government that shall have
no end.
We note that he writes first OF
the establishment of the church
which, because of the exalted place
ascribed to it. will overtop all the
institutions of men and be the
mightiest power for good in their
affairs. And the influence of the
church will be so great that it will
bring world peace. Let us, in this
time of wars and rumors of wars,
strengthen the church as the in
stitution through which we hope tc
outlaw war and bring peace to th'
world.
In Luke we read of the blessed
fulfllment of prophesy in the com
ing of Jesus, which was announced
by the angel to the shepherds whC
watched their focks by night. Anc
the angel was joined by multitude
of the heavenly host, praising Goo
and saying, GLORY be to God in the
highest, and on earth peace" II
Christ we have the hope of war
less world.

The Public Needs Protection, Too

Federal Judge Alexander HOltzoff'S stern
attitude toward youthful criminals is more in
accord with the public interest than the pro-
tectlve-arm tendency evidenced in a number
of cases before the Juvenile Court. A study by
The Star of the response to police requests in
the past six months for Juvenile Court waivers
of jurisdiction showed that it is not the prac-
tice of that court to surrender juvenile Offend
erS of Is or under to District Court. In adhering
to this practice the Juvenile Court obviously
was unmoved by the seriousness of charges or
the past records of the teen-agers.
Judge Holtzoff, in sending an 18-year old
offender to prison for from to Is years for
breaking into home and hitting housewife
with stick, declared he had no special SYM
pathy" for plea of leniency based on youth
fulneSS of the defendant He pointed out that
Washington has been suffering "unduly' from
1aWleSS acts of youths from 16 to 19 who were
young in years but hardened and vicious in
their tendencies
It is of interest in connection with this
comment to consider one of the 16-year-
delinquent cases which the Juvenile Court re-
fused to let the District Court handle. One of
a pair of 16-year-old hoodlums arrested for the
knidng and robbery of Mrs Ruth Prebiich last
October had police record dating back to 1885,
when he was charged with pulling false fire
alarms. since Inen ne mas Deen arrested Tor
houSebreakng in 1850, false alarms in 1851, two
cases of assault and two cases of housebreak-
ing in 1852 and two purse snatchings this year
(not counting the slashing of Mrs. Prebich
during pocketbook snatching). Police Chief
Murray cited the Prebilich case as one justify
ing waiver of Jurisdiction by the Juvenile
Court but the police request was rejected. Be-
cause of the secrecy rules of the Juvenile Court
police have been unable to learn the DISPOSE
tion of the many charges made against this
young criminal.
Judge Hotzof recently suggested that au-
thority to decide court jurisdiction in such
cases be vested in the United States Attorney
rather than in the Juvenile Court Judge. That
is the practice in many other cities In view
OF the failure of the present system to give
adequate protection to the general public, the
Holtzoff recommendation is worth careful
consideration.

No 'Cow'rin,' Tim'rous Beostie'

William Kean Seymour clearly is no "wee,
sleekit, cow'rin', tim'rous beastie." For Mr.. Sey
mour, identified as retired English bank man
ager who has never visited Scotland, has had
the courage-or the foolhardiness-to rewrite
Bobbie Burns poetry into something he con-
sders English.
There are some and there appear to be
Scots among them, who feel that Bobbies words
could do with a bit of translating, but "for a.
that, and a. that, an twice as muckle's a. that"

Doesn't Like Trucks
r. Gibson.

Hugh Humphreys recent story on
trucks reads like press release from
the American Trucking Association.
Generally motorists have no objection
to local delivery trucks and farm
trucks, for these are obviously in
dispensable. 1t is these small, harmless
trucks which the big truckers include
in their amazing statistics to give the
impression of Importance and indispen-
stability OF the industry in general
The massive tractor -trailers of the
highway cause the damage. These
rubber-tired boxcars speed through
small communities with utter disre-
gard for pedestrians, children and local

pass anywhere to gain advantage on
the next upgrade. They deliberately
overload and attempt to bypass weigh
