ON THE SCHOOL SCENE Continued from Page One •weeks; One morning it’s cold, and the next it’s hot. All varie­ ties o f apparel are being seen every day. Some of ns don our warmest clothes on the warmest days, and again we choose cool clothing on cold days. As a re­ sult, we may shiver while others are too warm, in classes and study hall. Why doesn’t the weather man stick to one prediction? Please make it either hot or cold, so that we poor students will know just what to wear to school. , . While roving through the build­ ing one noon, my attention was attracted to a (flown and several colorful balloons on the black­ board in the first-grade room. Curiosity overcame me, and I asked Mrs. Walker what connec­ tion these bright objects had with the class work. She hastily ex­ plained that the pupils were learn- their color words. As soon as each word is learned, a balloon is made for that color. Halloween is evident in the room, too, with all the black cats, bats, and wit­ ches on broomsticks. The forty-four pupils in this grade have learned to make their numbers to ten. At present they are making alphabet books. In reading, they are divided into three groups, which are called bluebirds, squirrels, or rabbits. The children are proud o f the fact that they know several o f their reading words already.

Prosecutor Paul A . Baden of Butler County has, presented the case to the grand jury scheduled to report later this week. Gayles was indicted here more than a week ago fo r the first degree murder in the fatal shooting Aug. 31 ofMrs. Qllie Davidson Guy, 22, Cleveland, a sister o f Ada David­ son. Baden said the girl would be charged with complicity in the fatal beating o f Mrs. Edna Ad­ kins, 33, Franklin, and seriously injuring o f her son, Paul, 10. The two were allegedly beaten after Gayles is said to have forced them to accompany him and the girl when he commandeerer the Adkins auto. The victims were tossed out on a road near Middle- town.

On a six-months’ probationary basis, the commissioners agreed that (1) the county will retain property rights to the disputed strip o f land; (2) the city will install parking meters in ten park­ ing places in the area; (3) six places on Green St. and two more on N.

A. Miller were to prepare the proper court en­ try with these points outlined. With Fred Dean, Cedarville contractor, loading wooden forms back on a truck and planning to remedy minor damage, observers believe the two-year dispute was finally at an end.

Hodgson, Manager Joe Gordon, Auctioneer Josef Louis and Walt Finley, Salesmen health commissioner, expressed the view Tuesday that infantile paralysis is definitely on the de­ cline. People often become unduly alarmed by the number of polio reports, the health commissioner said, when actually the seeming increase is largely due to the fact the disease is now being diag­ nosed more thoroughly. Several _ recent cases which have been comparatively mild would not Jhave been diagnosed as polio a few years ago, he said. As an example of the increas­ ing caution he cited the situation in Cincinnati where all suspicious cases are being hospitalized im­ mediately.

SOME PEOPLE get along under higher prices by using less or doing without. Some have more income to help meet highercosts. Ail can adjust outgo to income, to a large extent. But a railroad cannot skimp or do with­ out and still provide good, efficient and safe service—adequate to the needs and desires of the public. The chart at left shows why the Eastern Railroads have had to ask for an increase in freight rates. The simple reason is that the increases allowed since 1939 are nowhere near enough to meet today’s costs. The rev­ enue the railroads get for hauling the aver­ age ton o f freight is only 15% more,whereas the CQSt o f operating the railroark has in­ creased more than 63% in that period. _Only recently, for instance, an arbitra­ tion board added another 5468,000,000 to our annual bill for wages and wage taxes, of which 5187,000,000 is borne by the Eastern Railroads. This brings the increase in these items alone to more than 75% :nce 1939. A ll the railroads ask Is \ the law says they should be allowtu to have. That means just and reasonable rates. The law says there is need in the public interest for adequate and efficient railway transpor­ tation service at the lowest cost consistent with furnishingsuch service. In other words, all the railroads ask is sufficient reveuue to enable them, under honest, economical and efficient management, to provide the kind o f service people want.

Y.‘ 3W SUPPLEMENTAL * EMERGENCY ORDER By the Public Utilities-Commission of .Ohio DATED OCTOBER 4 IS NOW IN EFFECT Under the Commission's latest rules revising those of September 16, 1947, all builders of new homes and certain other establish* ments have until October 14 to register their contracts with the Company, and have until January 1, 1948, to show evidence that construction has been substantially started before qualifying for gas space heating. Every home owner and tenant, every builder, heating contractor and gas space heating appliance dealer, should become familiar with the new Supplemental Emergency Gas Limitation Order and the rea­ sons for its adoption Plenty of natural gas for future use—New discoveries of natural gas supplies totalling lj? trillion cubic feet in 1946 alone, have brought known reserves to 160 trillion cubic feet. Indicative of the extensive­ ness of already-known natural gas supplies is the fact that new dis coveries in 1946 were two and one-half times 1946 consumption Exploration and new drilling are unearthing additional large reservoirs every year Temporary gas emergency results from shortage of transporta­ tion facilities—Because of the critical shortage of pipe, compressors, meters and other equipment, our suppliers are unable to put into operation the expanded facilities now under construction for delivery of increased quantities of natural gas from distant gas fields to this community Quoting from the emergency Gas Limitation Order which became effective September 16, 1947, ‘‘The unprecedented demand for gas and the inability of the utilities and their suppliers to provide facilities to make ddditional gas available to consumers in the State of Ohio has created an emergency affecting the health, safety and welfare of the people of the State of Ohio which will continue during the coming winter 1947-1948 " HOW THE LATEST REGULATIONS AFFECT HOME OWNERS, BUILDERSANDTENANTS The new rules now in effect as of September 16, and revised as of October 4, are in full force until April 1, 1948 They are much more strict than the provisions of the partial curtailment program under which our Company has operated during recent months- . Regulations adopted in SUPPLEMENTAL EMERGENCY ORDER 13,618 of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio are not optional but obligatory Each rule is based on necessary protection of the health, safety and welfare of the people of Ohio POINTSTOREMEMBER I. Under this order the Company may not supply gas for additional gas space heating appliances (whether gas furnace, gas boiler, gas, conversion burner, gas floor furnace, gas fired unit heater, gas fired circulating heate.r, radiant heater o r other space heating equipment using gas). , II. Persons moving into homes where authorized gas heating equip­ ment is presently installed and was used last heating season by former occupants may use the equipment Persons moving from one location to another who own and had used gas space heating equipment at the location they have vacated will not be permitted to use it at the new location'unless gas had been previously used by the former oc­ cupant. In case the new location was only partially heated by gas by the former occupant, the new occupant cannot use any additional gas space heating equipment to heat that portion which was formerly heated by other fuels III No "hardship applications" for permission to install gas space heating appliances replacing equipment using other fuels, such as were considered under our former partial curtailment program, can now be permitted. IV New homes now under construction can qualify for gas heat only by complying with the foilowing requirements of Rule 2 of the Supplemental Emergency Order dated October 4, 1947 ”RULE 2; No distributing utility shall supply or be required to supply natural gas service to any consumer present or prospec­ tive in the Slate of Ohio, for new or additional equipment de­ signed to provide gas space heating In any building, unless proof Is furnished to the utility: “la) That gas fired heating equipment was registered with the utility and approval for the installation of such equipment was given by the utility prior to September 16, 1947, except that in territory where the utility had no rules and regulations with respect to gas curtailments prior to September 16, 1947, such equipment shall be registered and approval for the in­ stallation thereof obtained on or before October 10, 1947 "Ibl In the case of new construction of a building or build­ ings not designed for residence or dwelling purposes that a binding contract for such gas space heating equipment had been entered into prior to the effective date of this order Copies of suck contracts must be furnished to and registered with the utility on or before ten days after the effective date hereof , "(c) In the case of new construction of a building or build­ ings designed for residence or dwelling purposes, whether built by owner, contractor for owner, real estate sub-division de­ veloper or any other person or persons having a binding con­ tract or commitments, that obligations or commitments for such construction or building material or for gas space heating equipment had been entered into prior to the effective date of this order Copies of such contracts or commitments must be fur­ nished to and registered with the utility on or before ten 110) days after the effective date hereof, together with such facts as the utility may deem proper. If such building program or project covered by such contracts, commitments or obligations for which gas space healing service is desired is not substan­ tially started by January I, 1948, gas service for space heat­ ing shall not thereafter be furnished In such Instances .” V Gas burners may be replaced with new furnaces or boilers de­ signed for more efficient use of gas, but the replaced burners cannot be used to convert other equipment using other fuels RESTRICTIONSDO NOT APPLY TOGAS FORCOOKING, ETC —The Commission’s Order on gas for space heating in no way a f­ fects the use of gas for cooking, water heating, refrigeration and other common household uses except space heaters.
