He aI+h Nurse In
Praise Of He aIth
Workers In Ohio

London, Ohio - THE life and
health of every person in Ohio is
in the hands of the public health
worker every day." says Mrs.
Dorothy Royce, president of the
Ohio Public Health Association,
which is currently conducting a
Share the Health" campaign. Re-
ceipts will further the OPHA pro-
gram to improve health facilities in
Ohio.
And backing up her statement
is one by Gov. Frank j. Lausche,
made when he opened the cam
paign. Governor Lausche remark
ed, THE public health workers of
Ohio do their work SO well we
have taken it for granted, rarely
giving them a thought"
Mrs. Royce points out it would
be impossible for Ohio citizens to
take drink of water without the
constant vigilance of the health de-
partment who ascertain it is pure.
Inspection of the food service
industry, of restaurants, is just one
function of your health depart
ment," Mrs. Royce states. Public
health workers are constantly
seeking better sanitation facilities,
better health education, to widen
the visiting nursing programs. If
you need birth certificate, it
comes from the health department,
and the same is true with a death
certificate. When measles, chicken
pox, polio, or tuberculosis strikes,
the health department provides as
sistance and guidance for patient
and family" )"

Hit All-TiI11e
Record Totals

Final tabulations on sales and
use tax collections for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1854 showed
all-time record receipts of $685.
0O6,018, it was announced today
by State Treasurer Roger w.
Tracy.
The collections represented an
increase of S6,264,217, or 3.3 per
cent. over the receipts of $685.
TAI ,801 for the previous fiscal year,
Tracy said.
Commenting upon the report,
Tracy pointed out that is substan-
tiates his position of a year ago
when he advised legislative lead
ers that collections for the year
would probably exceed S183, 3,000,-
600, despite budget estimates of
the administration that the sales
and use tax would produce only
$172,6OO,O0O.
The report further shows that
for the last 9 nine days of June
collections amounted to $9,932, 800,
which represented a gain of S634,-
633 over the corresponding period
of last year.
During the year, six of the eight
classifications registered gain S
over the previous year, while ap-
parel declined six-tenths of one
per cent and furniture was down
only two-tenths of one per cent.
Greatest gain, amounting to 81
per cent, was recorded in the
building group.
The amount of collections by the
counties showed 16 counties with
declines ranging upwards to a
maximum of 5.4 per cent. Among
them were four urban counties in
cluding: Lucas, 5 per cent; Ma
honing, a per cent; Summit, 1.3
per cent; and Stark, IA per cent,
Pike County made the largest

School Levy Is Approved By
London Board OF Education
4-MiII Levy Asked
In November Vote

A four-mill levy to cover salary
boosts for teachers and other en-
ployees was approved for place
ment on the November ballot at
the last regular meeting of the
London Board Of Education.
The London Board of Education
approved the move, following sew
eral months study on the salaries
of local teachers as compared with
neighboring cities and counties.
1t was found that London has
a record of being among the low
est communities in terms Of voted
millage for schools outside the 10
mills, according to the board
At the request of the Board of
Education, teachers committee
was chosen by the teachers them
selves to make a study of the sal
ary schedules of neighboring school
systems and the 1853 State Mini
mum Salary Schedule of the Ohio
Education Association. The follow
ing cities were used in the COM
parative study: Bellefontaine, Cir
cleville, Delaware, Granville,
Greenfield, Grove City, Hillsboro,
Marysville, Mechanicsburg Urba-
ma, Washington Court House,
Westerville, Wilmington, Worth
ington and Xenia. The following
counties were also included in the
Study: Champaign, Clark, Della
ware, Fayette, Franklin, Greene,
Madison, Pickaway and Union.
The salary study revealed that
the teachers and employees of the
London City Schools were paid the
lowest salaries. The present school
finances are not sufficient to fin
ance an increased salary schedule.
Therefore it was pointed out that
the only solution to the problem
was for the local Board of Edu-
cation to pass a resolution where
by an additional tax levy of four
mills for a period of five years be
placed on the ballot at the Novem-
ber election for the approval of the
voters. The resolution was adopted
unanimously by the members of
the Board of Education.
Five reasons were given for the
need of a revised salary schedule:
l. To attract competent teachers. 2.
To stimulate continuous profess
ional growth. 3. To encourage
teacher loyalty to the school sys-
tenn by longer period of income
increments. 4. To provide a living
wage within the profession itself.
5. To provide salaries comparable
to those Of neighboring schools.
The proposed new salary sche-
dule would recognize the amount
of college training and the num-
ber of years of neutrality-suspicious.
that a teacher has had. The sche-
dule was devised to cover an ele-
ven year period, and the salary
scale would be as follows:
