Pollution
Unit Raps
Pay Limit

The line item method of set
ting maximum salaries for state
officials came under renewed
attack Tuesday--this time from
the State Air Pollution Au-
thority.
DR.. Floyd. L. Hudson, chair
man, said the authority as well
as other state agencies are hin
dered In obtaining qualified
personnel due to the maximum
salary limits.
eff any of our technical men
leave, we have trouble filling
the position If they know they
are limited to a top salary,
DR.. Hudson said.
''If you pay a man 5000
for eight years In a row, and
he knows he can never receive
more, 1t destroys his initiative.
What's more, he seeks greener
pastures" Hudson continued.
This isn't true in the air
pollution authority alone" he
said. 1--WE face this problem In
most of the state Board of
Health agencies"
Hudson made his comments
to the authority while the sal
ary of Technical Supervisor
Harry F. Camper was being set
for next year. Camper is one
of those whose salary is line
ttemed.
Camper, who received SO, 444
this year, will get 1922 as his
salary If the requested SIS, ,780
budget for the authority is ap-
proved.
The budget is an increase
over last year.
The 1864 budget request is
more than $4,000 higher than
the $l4,0 ,044 used for 1868 OPP
Grating expenses.

November
Draft Quota
Here Raised

Delaware's draft quota for
November has been raised from
80 men to 40 because of fall
ures to meet quotas elsewhere.
1t. Col. Clifford E. Hall, state
director of selective service.
said the increase will be bal
anced by a reduction later, to
even out Delaware's quotas
with those of the other states.
He was informed yesterday
that Delaware is one of the
few states able to meet quotas
after the order exempting mar
rted men. The order had the ef-
feet of suddenly depicting the
pools of qualified men ready to
be sent for induction. Della
ware and a few other states
quickly built up their pools by
having large numbers of men
examined. About 100 men will
be sent to Philadelphia for ex-
animation tomorrow.

time letter winners. They are
backed by freshmen, Bill Ro.
samond, 15u, and Chuck Car
son, 40, and also a freshman.
The guard position seems to
be in good shape with seniors
Julian W. son, $50 pound two
time letter winner, and 23O
pound Wayne Ellis, a three
time letterman. Playing be
mind them are 12O pound Sc
phomore Tommy Haffey, and
freshman Kick Povall, who
tips the scales at 100.
All things considered, this
seems to be the year the Hor-
nets will have to depend on
desire and hustle to win for
them. but it must be said that
the winner is usually the one
who wants to win bad enough,
so if the Hornets have that
eft mentioned desire and hust-
lie, which they usually have,
they will bare watching. No
doubt Earle and GriSham will
produce that winning touch
as they do very season.
Holmes County herald., 1963-09-05

back position is being fought
for by. two eighth graders
without any varsity exper-
fence. They are George Bell
and Bill Davis, both weighing
in at 40. Harold Devine, a
$50 pound junior letterman,
is the most likely candidate
for tailback. Backing Devine
is 100 pound sophomore Dan
ny Pepper.
The line is probably the
Hornets strongest point with
the majority of letter winners
being lineman. At ends are
Shelton Rogers, $50, and Jer-
ry Fite, 160. Both are seniors
and lettermen. They are back
ed by junior Billy Marshall,
who weighs 100. The tackle
positions are manned by sen
iors Larry Spell, 40, and
Gray Brock, 1876. Both are two

ing been in Lexington Is years
while Grisham has been a.
Hornet coach for over half
that many.
The Hornets have twenty
two men listed on their rOs-
ter but injuries and sickness
have decreased the number Of
active players. The main loss
to the Lexington squad iE
Robert Autry, a senior quar-
terback who weighs only 1876
but is a whale Of a field gene
raj. He will miss at least the
first three games due to q
case of Hepatitis. This could
be a very damaging blow 20
the Hornets. The quarterback
position will be manned by
Wyche Hooker, a junior who
also weighs 100. Hooker has
had limited experience, but
this will give him a chance to
Holmes County herald., 1963-09-05

prove himself. The Hornets
lack the three essentials IN
forming a good team in that
they do not have size, depth,
or experience. However, this
will give them a chance to
prove their ability, hustle, and
desire. AS was said previous
~, you can never count a
Hornet team out, and l doubt
that this season will be an
exception.
The wingback position will
be manned by one of the few
experienced members Of the
team. Walter Sullivan a 1876
pound senior, is the most like
~ starter at that position.
He is backed by Johnny Lee

tn grader who weighs all Of

THE MID-STATE
CONFERENCE:
LAST YEARS FINISH
THIS YEARS
PREDICTION

The 1862 Mid-State Confer
ence season was closed out
in it's usual fashion with a
mother thrilling Lexington :
Durant contest. The Hornets
from Lexington won in about
as exciting a game as you
ever saw, 80 to "a. This was
the deciding factor in who
finished in second place in
the conference standings as
Walden had already won the
championship and closed its
regular season play the pre-
vious Friday night by defeat
ing North Corrallton. Acker-
man, newest member Of the
Mid-State Conference, was
not eligible for conference
laurels because of a league
rule. They were the only team
to defeat Walden all season
but championship : wise this
was to no avail, since they
were ineligible. Vaiden's title
winning record was 5 wins and
no losses. Lexington followed
close behind with a four and
one record, while Durant's
Tigers wound up third with
Is wins and 2 losses. North
Carrollton, Ethel, and Nc
Adams rounded out the bot
tom half.
In making our prediction
let me first say this. This pre-
diction is meant to cause no
harm, or create no hard feel
|ings by or with any person.
1T is merely an expression OF
