A&P Celebrates
94th Anniversary

New York, N. Y, Oct. 9 9-Ralph
w. Burger, president of The Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company,
today urged the nations food in
dustry to strive for greater eff
cheney in its operations in order to
further narrow the spread between
farm and retail prices.
In a statement launching a
month-long celebration of the ma
tons Oldest food chains 94th an
niversary, Mr. Burger cautioned
the industry against wasteful prac-
tices that might tend to increase
the cost of food to consumers or
reduce returns to producers.
THE entire food industry, from
producer to distributor, has given
the American people the highest
standard of eating in the world to-
day." Mr.. Burger said. THE av-
erage family in this country has a
better and more varied diet and
spends a smaller percentage of its
income on food than do the resi-
dents of any other country. But if
we are to remain the best-fed ma
ton, we must continue to seek
new and better ways of producing
and distributing food"

London Trucks
Busy Fighting
Grass Fires

The London and Community
fire trucks were kept busy for two
hours Sunday afternoon, answer
ing calls to fires that resulted in
not too much damage, because of
the firemen's quick action.
The first call at 1:30 o'clock
was to the home of Eddie Shaw,
North Main Street, where a grass
fire burned over into the stubble
in the wheat field of II. H. Hume,
Garfield Avenue, which runs up to
the rear of the Shaw place. Char
les Mercer and Elwyn Byers had
both the City and Community
trucks out to control that fire.
ByerS answered an alarm to put
out trash fire at the Williams
Steel Wool plant on West First
Street about three o'clock and
Mercer went to the home of Char
les Cameron on East Fifth Street
to extinguish the fence in the
backyard which ignited, it was
stated, from burning trash pile.
The worst of all the fires was
that of about two to three acres of
corn on the Harold S. Welsh farm,
South Charleston Pike, which is
said burned badly after the dry
stalks caught it was said from
sparks from passing Pennsyl-
vania train. Amount of damage
was not learned.

Sliding Scale TO
Get Consideration

The London City Council con-
tinues to ponder the proposed
yearly salary of the mayor of Lon
don. According to latest reports,
the council is considering slid
ing scale" salary based on the
amount of fine money collected by
the mayor over the period of a
year. 1t is believed that this meth
cd will be used to determine the
mayors salary which was recently
established by law in that hence
forth the mayor must be paid a
yearly salary rather than a por-
tion of the fine monies collected as
has heretofore been the practice.
The mayor has been receiving
$4.SO in court costs for each con-
viction in the city court. The new
law specifies that the mayor must
be paid flat salary by the city
of London. Court costs will now go
into the city treasury.
The council has expressed a de-
sire to pay the mayor salary
commensurate with his approx
mate salary under existing condi-
tions but with the uncertainty of
future income from fine monies,
the council has heSitated to eStab-
lish yearly salary for reason that
highway cases make up the bulk
of the fine money and it is not
known what procedure may be
used by the highway patrol in fu-
ture cases. 1t is for this reason
that the council is investigating
the sliding scale method in order
to determine whether or not such
a plan is legal.
Should the sliding scale method
be found applicable, it was ex-
planned, the council could ok a
base salary and add to same ac-
cording to the amount of fine
monies collected. 1t was pointed
out that the monies now being col
lected are vital to operating ex-
penses and that loss of such fine
monies would seriously endanger
the city's operating revenue.

The messages were read from

last February, completely rebuilt
during the spring and summer, and
dedicated to another century of ed
ucational pioneering and progress
at Sundays exercises.
In his letter of congratulations
the Governor said:
Antioch from its beginning, un-
brokenly through its 100 years of
life, has prepared the path lead
ing to better education and upon
which others have followed. It is
one of the outstanding schools of
higher learning in our country.
"As Governor of Ohio l express
fluctuations to you while you are
celebrating your Centennial. I do
so with special joy in the know
ledge that we are contemporaries
ously observing the Sesquicenten-
nial of Ohio. Antioch College and
The State of Ohio made great pro-
gress in the past; greater will be
made in the future"
On campus for the birthday
party, which started Friday night
and ended with Sunday vesper
services, were descendants of the
historical figures who have made
Antioch's hundred years of his
tory, as well as trustees, alumni,
neighbors, friends, and employers
of Antioch students under the
study-plus-work plan.
Among guests were two grand
daughters of Judge William Mills,
the man who gave the college its
original 20-acre campus and a cash
gift of S20,000 and thus won the
institution for Yellow Springs over
other communities in New York
state and Ohio which were bidding
for it. Mrs. Leland Ingersoll came
from Niagara Falls, N. Y, for the
event, while Mrs. Winifred Chap
man journeyed down from San
