Top Ranking Area Hi School Musicians
To Perform Here In Music Festival

An estimated 400 young musicians,
representing the cream of the crop of
area high schools, will appear here at
1880 p. m. Saturday at Founders Hall
in the District Three high school mu-
sic festival for orchestra, band and
chorus.
Festival chairman, Russell A.
Lantz, head of the Blutfton college
music department, said that the sell
lection of the personnel for the vari-
Gus musical organizations to appear
in the festival was determined by the
size of the performing group, necessi-
ty for proper balance and instrument
tation and the desire to have repre-
sentation from the different schools
throughout the district.
Registration will begin at $3.50 a.
m. Saturday for all participating
groups. Orchestra members will regis
ter at the high school gymnasium,
band personnel at Founders Hall on
the college campus, and chorus mem
bers at Ramseyer Chapel at the col
lege.

Oil In SeUers
Creates Headache
At Disposal Plant

Oils and greases believed to be
entering the Village sewage
system from some garage, gas
Oline service station or farm i'm
plement shop, is causing
serious problem at the new sew
age disposal plant, Superintend-
ent Harry Tripplehorn has
advised village council.
The problem was aired at the
Tuesday evening meeting of
council, and Clerk A. ]. B.
LOngsdOrf was requested to
notify all firms where oils are
sold or used of the difficulty.
Entrance of the oily matter into
the disposal plant clogs the
filters and has resulted in hours
of time spent in back-fushing
the equipment.
Mr.. Tripplehorn has warned
that if the practice continues, it
may cause costly repair bills
for the system.
Dumping of such matters into
any sewage system is contrary
to state law.

regular work week is based on a.
hours. Time and half will be paid
for time over the base week.
Members of council were Of the
opinion that the increases will be an
incentive for better village service,
and that time and a half will make
the street crew more amenable to late
night and early morning calls to duty
on such jobs as sailing icy streets.
The villages two full-time regular
employees will receive S1.40 per hour
instead of $1.35 for skilled and S1.30
for semi-skilled labor as it is now
classified. Extra employees viii re-
ceive s1.30 per hour as compared with
a base rate of S110 now in effect, al
though as a matter of practice most
part time employees had been receiv-
ing S1.30.
For the combination job of police
chief and street commissioner, the pay
advances from 1865 per month to
$270. The night patrolman's salary
will remain the same, at 1926 per
month. Special police, however will
receive an increase from SIPS to
S1.30 per hour.

sub-zero weather and icy roads are
not expected to deter the influx of
bargain-hunting shoppers into town

Dollar Days Friday and Saturday.

munity have been treated to reduce
driving hazards, and town employees
have removed piles of snow from the
downtown area. Thia w'll give shop
pers plenty of parking space for the
two-day bargain event, which has
become one of the towns most
popular sales attractions.
The usual Dollar Days crowd on
Main street will be considerably in
creased by the arrival here Saturday
morning of some 400 high school
musicians who will appear in the
District Music Festival.
Bargain hunters this week will find
many of the best buys to be had
in the 18-year history of the event.
One would have to travel a long way
to find such values as local business
places are offering. Activity in the
stores today included marking down
price tags and preparing counters in
eye-catching displays.
