Madison Glass In
Survey To Find
Office Help Need

The office practice class at Mad
ison South High School, under the
direction of instructor Paul Riden-
our, surveyed eighteen business
firms in the area to learn what
they expected from High School
Commercial Courses.
Twenty five companies were con-
tacted and eighteen replied to the
QUESTIONABLE. This represents a
very high percentage Of coopera-
ton by those asked
All of the businesses thought
typing a necessary course, while
ninety five percent considered
bookkeeping essential. Only sixty
one percent favored the teaching
of short hand but ninety percent
favored filing and office practice
training. Only q percent thought
salesmanship necessary.
Sixty six percent of these bus
ineSses considered specialized bus
mess machines as a necessary part
of class room instruction The most
necessary special machine was
considered the calculator with sew
enty one percent requesting its use
in the school.
When comments were asked for
on the QUESTIONABLE, many of those
questioned stressed that more en-
phasis be placed on spelling, gram
mar punctuation and economics.
The survey is an effort on the
part of modern teachers in mod
ern school to attempt to discover
what subjects will help the stu
dents most to obtain work when
they graduate or to further their
formal education

New Chief Will
Get $1,000 Year
In West Jeff

West Jefferson's Police Chief
will get a starting salary of
$4,000 per year with an opportun-
ity to advance to $1,000 at the end
of ten years in ordinances which re-
ceived first reading at the Monday
night session of council.
The combination of ordinances in
effect combines the jobs of police
chief and the now non-exiSteTt job
of street commissioner. But, the
first reading did not pass with
complete approval One council
member cast a negative vote, and
the mayor had earlier expressed
an opinion not in accordance with
the ordinance.
According to some qualifications
in the ordinance, the chief must
meet rigid specifications including
two years college or ten years SER
vice as a police officer. And he
much also be at least % years old,
but not more than so.
The ordinance also set out the
necessary qualifications for the pa
trolmen on the police force, but
left them somewhat more flexible
than for the chief post. The salary
schedule for the patrolmen was
left below that for chief. and the
age limits for patrolmen went
from 21-60.
The position of Street Commits
sioner, which pays $1,000 annually,
was made so that it would be at
tractive to the man taking the job
as police chief It would be con-
sidered just another responsibility,
rather than job consuming addi-
tional hours.
The Village Solicitor requested
that council take immediate action
on securing the proposed site for
the planned sewage treatment
plant. He emphasized that GER
tain amount of progress must be
maze so lnat the village can quail
ify for the federal aid they are
contemplating
In other action, council discuss
ed changing specifications for the
proposed purchase of a police cru
User. and discussed the need to
have the present cruiser carefully
checked before actually deciding TO
make the purchase now. Council
also heard complaints about open
ING bitches across streets, and
other complaints in general from
several residents.
The possibility of cancelling the
insurance on the old town hall was
also discussed, but no definite act
ion was taken.

titioner of the palette, eh?'
Interdependent: Nav, | just
paint men on one door and
women on the other!"
LUCK
Never worry about bad
luck. We heard about a guy
who died and when they dug
his grave, they struck oil!
TEE WEE
There's nothing wrong with
your TV set. It's just full of
spent lead and dead cowboys.
VIEWPOINT
And remember this-if you
didn't have any enemies, you
probably wouldn't know who
your friends are
OUTLOOK
In this modern age, the
stress doesn't seem to be on
developing character - rather
is the stress laid on develop
ing great characters.
SAFETY
A sure-fire safety signal
that works every time is the
light and antenna on top of
the state patrol car in our
rear-view mirror.
CHOICE
Democracy as we know it
will soon have to make a
choice between free-compuls-
ory or prepaid-voluntary when
it comes to government "bene-
fits" We have reached the
point where a benefit" is
something that costs three
times as much for administra-
ton.
WELL
Nowadays a man is never
criticized for not carrying the
groceries as long as he
brings home the bacon.
LOCATION
They were tired of living
with her parents so they got
a little apartment overlooking
the rent.
PEOPLE
A number Of people we
know seem greatly worried
about the younger generation,
delinquency and the like.
These same people also great
ly enjoy telling tales of ex-
ploits when they were young
sters which the kids of today
wouldn't believe.
TWO HEADS
Competition is a great thing
except when all the good IV
shows start at the same time
and you've only got two heads.
DIFFERENCE
A Bishop is a clergyman
who has learned the difference
between a sermon and lee
ture.
SUPER HIGHWAY
Our idea of real super
highway would be one with
lanes marked his" and
"hers."
TWIST
When a bunch Of old pals
get together they usually sit
down and talk about the bad
young days instead of what
you thought we were going TO
say.
SUCCESS
He was hard worker
unflagging, tireless and sim
cere. He was the first man in
the office in the morning and
the last to leave at night. No
Job was too big nor to small
for he had been told that this
was the road TO success. He
was never late for work and
was never absent - he even
worked Sundays. But it was
bound to happen someday and
it did. The boss called him into
the office and said, Jones,
I'VE had my eye on YOU for
some time what the hell
are YOU UP to. anyhow"
LIVING
One of the primary causes
of Juvenile delinquency we
think. is that a growing child
is told mo" so often that he
hegins to believe that every
thing he's told not to do is
fun.
TWO OF A KIND
There are but two kinds of
people nowadays-son1e are in
isolation wards and the others
are in isolation booths.
FACT
From the looks of this
months bill il looks as though
the Gas Company is trying to
fuel some of the people all q
the time.
LAST WORD
The alarming thing abo,-. M
alarming situation is that no.
body seems to be alarmed
about it.

Alpine Survivor Lived Three Days Without Food

INTERLAKEN, Switzerland, (R Claudio Corti, the only one of four alpinists who survived a climb up Eiger Mountain, said yesterday he had been without food for three days before he was rescued.
 Part of Corti's feet were frozen and his face and hands were cut but his condition was otherwise good.
 He was quoted as saying his Italian companion, Stefano Lon ghi, asked him to continue the climb alone to get help after Longhi had slipped 12O feet down and remained suspended in the ropes.
 The two Germans who climbed the north wall at the same time shared their food with him. But, Corti related, the Germans ruck- sack slipped from the ledge on which he was encamped Thurs day, leaving him without food
 The search for the two Ger mans who continued the ascent was abandoned yesterday. They are presumed. dead Longhi's body is hanging cn the wall, face down and covered by snow.
 Mountain guides explained that under Swiss federal law bodies lost in the mountains need not be recovered if the recovery involves the risk of other lives.
 An exception to this is if the body can be clearly seen by tele- scope and therefore will have to be removed eventually.
 If the rope should hold for a considerable period, the possibil- ity is being considered here to cut it by shooting with a Swiss army howitzer, informed sources said
