The supervisors gave final ap-
proval to the county's new job
classification and pay plan, with
a recommendation that the
school board readjust the school
finance officers salary more in

mendation and that four school
officials be put into the plan.
The school board had revised
its finance officers salary about
$4,000 upward from the original
recommendation of James o.
Yarger, who drafted the pay
plan. Also. the school board de-
leted two assistant superintend-
ents, the director of surveys and
information and the personnei
director. School officials ex-
planned that these positions
should be related to the educa-
tional salary scale, with teachers
and principals. who are not COW
cred by the pay plan.
The supervisors recommended

GERS salary and to include the
four positions in the pay plan is
not binding, however, on the
school board, the supervisors
said.

county employees. 1t was drafted
by a committee of county Off
cials in cooperation with Mr..
Yarger. Terms of the retirement
plan had been agreed to by the
supervisors earlier, and they
passed the formal ordinance
unanimously yesterday.

next three or four months, The sup
ply increase over last year may be
most marked early in the period since
December-February borrowings were

have a smaller decline than usual after
that time.
COst-Cutting Suggestions
What can be done to smooth the way
through a rough year? Here are a few
curbStOne suggestions:
1. Push early spring pigs for market
at top speed and sell at around 2OO-21O

pounds. IF you have feed, however,
don't sell light. unfinished hogs, even
if the market is dropping.
2. If prices in the past year aver
aged near your break even point, bet
ter sell your poorer bred sows before
they reach the dockage stage, or take
drastic steps TO reduce your production
cost. You may be able to do this by one
or more of the following:
a. Get improved equipment and
give sows more attention at narrowing
time in order to save more pigs per
litter.
b. Take gifts for breeding stock out
of the fattening pen early, put them
on a limited feed and flush-feed for
a short time before the breeding sea-
son to increase litter size.
C. Have a thorough-going sanitation
program to reduce disease and para
site losses Use the clean-sow, clean
narrowing pen, clean-pasture method
Use antibiotics in feeds to eliminate
runtS.
d. Use ample protein in feeds. Pro
vide legume pasture to save on pro-
TEN purchases.
e. Plan to use more oats, barley
and sorghumS which are likely to be
cheaper than usual compared with
corn in the coming year.
g. Breed and feed to produce meat
type hogs. Tests show that meat-type
hogs will make gains as economically
and will be ready for market as early
as the lardy types. Above all, avoid
carrying hogs to heavy weights. Be
cause of price discounts for heavies,
you may be selling the added weight
for only to 10 cents a pound.

Word from France that she will wait U. N. assambly action on African problems before de- ciding masat to do about her general relationship with the organization slightly clarifies her original position.
 It means she will not take part in most of this years as- senlbly work.
 Foreign minister Pinay said when his delegation walked out of the assembly that its return as we'll as Frances overall membership in the organiza- ton had become matters un- der consideration. Now he irsdi cates that consideration will not be complete until after the assembly, acts on the anti col onial resolutions which were put on the agenda under French protest and caused the walkout
 Unless there is a shift of sen timent among the delegations, that means France will be out of the major discussions now booked. which include the pre- sent atoms+for-peace debate, expected to take another week, and disarmament.
 There was a movement after Frances walkout to save some face for her by moving up the colonial debate to follow that on atoms. Some delegates thou ght routine disposition of the African questions might be achieved so France could come back.
 The movement didn't get very far. The same Asian-African nations which are the prime movers against France have ach ieved & certain portion of their objective on that point, and are anxious to get the disarm- aanesat discussions going. They are expected to get their way.
 So France is absent from the world forum at time when the slrakiness 06 her govern mental system has been newly advertised by the African trou ole. The debate over her inher ent strength or lack of strength as a great nation has been re- amaed, with FrenchEnen them selves actively participating.

 Until now, France has been seeking piecemeal compromises to prolong her power, under bitter political pressure from the French colonists and busi- ness interests across the Medit- erranean.
 Real solutions can come only when the true mutuality of in- terest can be made the chief consideration. Then France will have a chance to do what the British have done in India.

ELKS LAUNCH PROGRAM AGAINST CEREBRAL PALSY IN ALASKA

First of the long4planned mobile and portable units torl the Benevolent and Protective
 Order of Elks program of home
 treatment of cerebral palsy has
 been ordered, Orville Paxton, district deputy grand exalted ruler of Alaska, east, has an nounced.
 Bob Lewis, of Anchorage, is chairman of the territorial wide Elks cerebral palsy com mission. The program, more than year under discussion, was given approval at the ar nual territorial convention of the lodges in Seward recently. The significance of the deci- sion to go ahead after the Elks palsy fund had reached $6O, ,OOO well he far reaching - it will inaugurate successful techni que for treating cerebral palsy in Alaska, a technique which has been adopted by Elks lod- ! ges of IT states and has proven most satisfactory.
 Basis of this program is to
 bring treatment for cerebral Ipalsy into homes, where under approved and competent thera
 pists, the comparatively simple yet effective programs of aid
 are carried on.
 ! The state of California is lserved by 10 of the Elks mobile lunits. Washington has five, lplans more. Seventeen states in all have these home treatment Iprograms supplied by Elks Tod Iges.
 { MT. Lewis said the known lease load in Alaska was at Ileast 150. He expects the mob lille therapists will discover many more in families who Iwere reluctant to bring the suf Hers to treatment centers.
 The cost of purchasing and
 operating the first mobile unit Including the salary of a thera- pist, will ne about $18,O00 a Iyear. Tn addition will be the
 cost and operation of two port
 able units. As rapidly as the fund grows, additional units art to be added and therapists ' employed. It is the aim of the iTerritorial Elks cerebral palsy commission to raise another $5O.0O0 during the coming year
 The Elks commission will work closely with the territor- ial health department and oth CT qualified agencies and all cases will be certified for treat ment by these official groups. Charles Kidd has been nam ed chairman of the Sitka Elks cerebral palsy committee.

Two fighting brothers who won
by knockouts at Turner's Arena

ers heading the program at

are coming back. The third
man is Chuck (Kid) Saucer,
heavyweight. who fell before
Hurricane jackson in the third
round.
Saucer gets a chance to re-
deem himself tonight, facing
Bert Whitehurst of Baltimore.
Whitehurst is a fair enough
fighter but not in Jackson's
class, and Saucer could win to
make up for a loss to Whitehurst
early in his career.
Other visiting fighters are Will
lie Alexander of Philadelphia,
matched against Gene Smith.
and Filberto Osario of Puerto
Rico. facing young Harold Smith.
Osario represents a real step
upward in class for Harold, who
has won all 10 of his pro fights.
nine by knockouts. The Puerto
Rican is no world champion, but
he is experienced and tough. and
the odds are that Harold will
have to work all eight of the
scheduled rounds. Filberto. in
well over 100 fights, never has
been knocked out.
Gene Smiths opponent. Alex
