this move is considered neces
sary.
l would like to know in
plain concrete figures how many
children We're enrolled at Kirk

enrolled now, and how many
are expected to be enrolled five
years from now and ten years
from now. 1896 was a postwar

there is no more room in East
Cleveland for building (apart-
ments don't usually house many
children, and families are about
as big now as they're likely to
get. This is assuming that the
city keeps a close eye on zon-
ing and prevents multiple fam
lilies from overcrowding single
dwellings.
Narrow But Safe
The Railways and stairwells
have always been narrow but
they have been safe AS long as
children with proper manners
and respect for others moved
through them. The band room
has always been inadequate but
some fine bands and orchestras
have been turned out, and some
fine musicians. Moving the
ninth grade won't make that
fourth-floor sweat box into
satisfactory band room-unless
there is no band left to use it.
These are only a few of the
reasons why / am disturbed but

at this time. This may be enough
TO start others thinking Of their

Midland Hit Hard
Three midland towns Moss

In Macclesfield, a tree felled
by the gale crushed a car and
killed the driver.
In Mossley, a gust ripped a
long length Of drainpipe from
one house and hurled it like a
giants javelin through the roof
of another.
Another gust lifted a panel
truck from the road and
smashed it against a wall. The
driver escaped.
Heavy loss of life was feared
among herds of cattle and
sheep. Radio and television sta

The Civil Service Commission
has urged Government agencies
TO use the section Of the new
pay law authorizing within-step
salary quality merit raises. It
said 1t will issue regulations
soon to allow such merit pay
increases.
These increases can be given
in addition to the regular
within-step salary raises.
In a bulletin TO all Federal
departments and agencies, the
csc stressed that additional
within-step raises should be
given for high quality per-
formance."
The csc told the agencies

crease or some suitable recogni-
ton under the Incentive Awards
Program is preferable.
THE new quality increase
authority may not be used until
the Commission isseus ap-
propr1ate regulations. We plan
to issue these for department
implementation very soon."
REGULAR N-STEPS - In
the same bulletin TO agencies,
the csc tried TO clarity in
greater detail the criteria for
giving as well as denying regu-
lar in-step salary raises to Fed
eral employees under the new
acceptable level Of compe-
tence" provision Of the new pay
law.
Under this new provision, the
regular in-step pay raises are
no longer automatic as they
were in the past.
The csc is trying TO tackle
the knotty problem Of estab-
pected Of employees perfor-
nance in order for them 10 re-
cieve their regular in-steps, and
what are the factors TO be used
In denying them their regular
in-step pay raises.
In the bulletin, the csc
stressed that agencies can now
decide that. while an employe
warrants retention on his Job,
his work does not deserve a
within-grade increase.
Some situations where this
might be appropriate are the
following" the csc declared.
"A. An employe whose work
performance is consistently
marginal is given a satisfactory
performance rating but is told
that his work Is barely above
the level that would be con-
sidered unsatisfactory. His de-
ficiencies and shortcomings
have been discussed with him
and he has been told how 10
improve his work II II is 10 be
considered above the marginal
category.
"B An employe was given a
satisfactory performance rating
six months ago, but since then
his work has fallen off 10 the

that is expected Of a fully
trained member Of the staff.
The employees deficiencies have
been discussed with him.
&C. An employe meets the
minimum work standards that
have been set for him, but he is
careful never to exceed these
standards regardless Of work
pressures and he frequently
creates problems in the office
such as refusing to cooperate
with other employees in carry
ing out Joint work assignments.
This has been discussed with
him.
-. An employe whose work
has been entirely adequate has
become careless to the point
that he cannot be depended on
to produce an acceptable prod
uct each time. His supervisor
has talked over the problem
with him in an attempt TO keep
his work from deteriorating
further TO the point where It
is clearly unsatisfactory"
In concluding, the csc de-
clared: Under the new pay
schedules, within-grade raises
are substantial enough TO serve
as an incentive TO employees TO
earn them through performance
at an acceptable level OF COM
petence. But II they are 10 serve
as an effective incentive, man
agement must insure that they
are granted only when fully
warranted"

Little Relief Promised in East
From Winters Icy Blasts
BY the Associated Press

Icy gales, accompanied by
subzero temperatures, con-
tinued to lash the Northeast
today and were blamed for
deaths caused by fires, traffic
accidents and boating disasters.
Blasts Of Arctic winds sent
temperatures throughout the
area plunging to record lows in
some areas. Little relief is
promised during the day.
Temperatures in New York
State plunged as low as q

New Years eve celebrations
were curtailed in many areas
by ravages of gales that gusted |
as high as 80 miles an hour. |
At least 20 persons lost their
lives in Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey and Rhode
Island.
Fires that inevitably accom-
pany cold weather spread de-
struction and death throughout
the area.

LONDON, Jan. l (AP). =
Howling blizzards struck Brit
ain again today, cutting off
more villages in the country
side. Some areas were hit by
food shortages.
Police followed a snowplow,
attempting to bring food to
the village of Bisley- -with-Lypi-
att in Gloucestershire. Six
hundred people in the center of
the village were cut off by g.
foot snow drifts.
Their food is running out,
and the position is getting
pretty desperate" said Con-

Some hilltop villages in the
west country have been isolated
since Sunday. The telephone
is their only link with the out
side world.
Run on Supplies
A sudden run on supplies hit
village stores, whose shelves al
ready were depleted by Christ
mas buying.
Fifteen thousand Londoners
got no milk. After a week of
driving on icy roads, milkmen
declared a strike. Customers
were told they could have milk
If they went to collect it.
Road conditions rarely have
been worse.
Ten main highways in Kent
County, southeast of London,
were blocked and others threat
ened by drifting snow. Some
Kentish villages were cut off

Forty main roads were

high on side lanes. Devon and

Many towns and villages in
