Snyder Boy Scout Pack Proud Of Its Venture in Publishing

Paper contains news; editors see that each scout's name makes every issue

The pride of members of Boy Scout Cub Pack No. 60 of Snyder is a monthly newspaper published by the boys and believed to be the first project of its kind in this section of the state. Announcement of the publication was made by Carl E. Minich. the pack's cubmaster.

"We feel that our pack newspaper I will be a great help to us in our j leadership program and the teach­ing of the cubbing spirit to the boys," Mr. Minich said. Cub packs are groups of boys between the ages of nine and twelve years. At twelve years of age pack members become eligible to membership in the Boy Scout organization.

Contains Pack News

The newspaper, the first issue of which was distributed recently, is a

I two-page paper executed on "ditto process"' paper. The publication is

** complete with all the latest pack

made for a comic section by diligent pack artists.

Published under the guidance of two den chiefs, Robert Bloss and Robert Parr of the scout troop, the busiest of the youthful editors are Jack Robinson, Jack Carson, Richard Roeder, Charles Klein-steuber, Thomas Godson and Robert Archibald. Mr. Parr is staff artist,

The newspaper is read by the 25 members of the pack, Cubmaster Minich said. The editors see to it that every cub in the organization gets his name, into the publication a least once in each issue. This assures circulation not only in boys' groups, but at home, Mr. Minich said.

JUNIORS PLAN/ TO HOLD PROM

Canisius students to select ten students for fraternity

Having selected a nationally-known orchestra, the Canisius Col­lege junior prom committee is com­pleting plans for the prom which will be held in Hotel Statler Feb­ruary 11th.

The feature will be the tapping of ten seniors at the stroke of mid­night for membership in the Coffin Club, outstanding honorary organ­ization of the college. They will be selected from the following stu­dents selected by the senior class last week: Joseph Cavanaugh. John Neylon, Clayton Barth, William Wahl, Milton Lawandus, Michael Harrington, Murray Conroy, H. Bus-well Roberts, David Roche, Samuel Beyers, James Lanz, Ronald Dun-lavey, William Shaddock, Harvey Stapleton. Richard Spitzer and Alois Zielinski.

Pointing oat the urgent need for continuance of highway construc­tion and improvement, Henry H. Coit, president of the Automobile Club of Buffalo, states that there is no other mechanical product of our modern civilization that we Americans afe more proud of than our automobiles—and justly so.

"They are toy far the finest, fast­est, most convenient, most comfort­able and, all things considered, the most economical transportation con­veyance ever built," he said.

"But automobiles are only one-half a motQ£ vehicle transportation system. The roads and highways are the other half. And the roads and highway^, the tracks automo­biles travel over, are just as vital as the automobiles themselves. Yet the highway half of our motor ve­hicle transportation system is so en­tirely inferior to the automobile half that it fails almost completely to meet the needs of the day. While tremendous Improvement has been made in the development of the au­tomobile, only a beginning has been made in providing an adequate highway syst,*jm. And the great gap between automobile performance and highway need is getting wider and wider.

Many Mud Roads Exist "More than 2,000,000 miles of our

3.000,000 mile highway system are still unsurfaced mud roads. The 1.000.000 miles of surfaced roads are for the most par t gravel, and many miles, improved years ago and car­ried on the records as improved, are actually obsolete today.

"On almost any road, the auto­mobile driver foes from macadam to brick to asphalt to concrete, from narrow pavement to wide pavement and back again without any rhyme or reason. The automobile owner who foots the bill has a right to ex­pect a uniformly and consistently well designed highway system re­gardless of artificial local boundary lines. He travels freely from town­ship roads to state highways and through city streets without know­ing where these boundaries are..

Classes Offered for Teachers Of Reading Are Being Stormed

.

So many apply enrollment has been limited to teachers of first, special grades

Response to the announcement of the course for teachers of reading in the elementary schools has been so enthusiastic that it has been neces­sary to limit enrollment to teachers of the first grade and of special classes, according to a statement by Miss Harriet L. Butler, supervisor of primary grades in t in Buffalo public schools.

The course, which has been pro­vided by the board of education, will give classroom teachers an oppor­tunity to study methods of prevent­ing reading failures and to discuss problems arising in teaching chil­dren to read. The board has en­gaged Mrs. Laura Dunklin, reading specialist, • to conduct the course which will open Monday, January 31st.

In order to provide the greatest opportunity for teachers to reach solutions of their individual prob­lems, enrollment in each class should

course will be given in five sections, each meeting once a week from 4 to 5 p. m. for twelve consecutive weeks.

Emphasis in this series of classes will be placed on methods of pre­ventive teaching rather than reme­dial teaching in reading "because the teachers taking the work will be those concerned with the child's first contact with reading. I t is Mrs. Dunklin's contention that if a teach­er knows the danger signals which indicate pending reading troubles and knows what to do about them, reading difficulties will be checked before they can become established. If the teacher corrects these diffi­culties as they arise, the need for remedial reading after the trouble has been firml rooted in the child's reading habits, will be non-existant, Mrs. Dunklin maintains.

Tentative plans call for future in­struction of teachers in the methods of diagnosing reading difficulties that exist and of giving remedial

Special to The Courier-Expreu Olean. Jan. 22—A warning that

Pius* L. Schwert. county clerk, would like to hear from his public.

And, at present, his public hap­pens tp be 72.482 motorists who have not as'yet purchased their 1938 auto­mobile license plates.

"My message to the 72.000 odd car owners is to get their plates as soon as possible," he said yesterday as he wearily looked at figflres and more figures on his desk in the county clerk's office.

"I ask tha t the new plates be obtained now so as to avoid the last-minute rush and possible inability to procure them before February 1st." he added.

Mr. Schwert disclosed that more plates have been issued daily this year than in 1937. but said there have been 5,563 fewer sets issued to date because none was issued before January 3d. In previous years the sale began December 16th.

He also announced that another plate-issuing office will be opened tomorrow in County Hall and re­iterated »hat all mail concerning plates should be addressed County Clerk. County Hall, Buffalo.

Plates also may be procured in person at 134 West Eagle Street, the State Building and a t the fol­lowing firehouses: Amherst and East streets. Linden and Colvin avenues, Main and Mercer streets, Colling-wood Avenue off Bailey Avenue, Clinton Street off Bailey Avenue and South Park Avenue and Mesmer Street.

Town meeting hears all sides of price issue

The question of what a fair price for milk should be was discussed last night in the Court Street Theater by representatives of the farmers, who produce the milk; the distributors who carry it from the farms to the homes and by the con­sumer who insists that people get milk and more milk at a reasonable price.

The joust ended in a no-decision verdict alter the audience, most of whom appeared to be from the milk-producing class, had applauded sug­gestions that the farmers get a bet­ter price, that the distributors be given a break and that the con­sumers be allowed to buy milk at a reduced price which will do away with boycotts.

It was the Town Meeting of the Air, a t which the participants were given a full opportunity to question the scpeakers. The latter were Ab­raham Wittman, representing the consumers; A. C. Pilger. represent­ing the farmers and M. Ralph Bad­ger, representing the distributors.

Charges of a milk trust were freely bandied about during the dis­cussion but the identity of the trust was not disclosed.

HONOR LENIN'S MEMORY Impressions of speaker's visit to

Soviet are described

The fourteenth anniversary of the death of Nikolay Lenin, noted leader of the international working class movement, was observed last night at a meeting in Polish Union Hall, 761, Fillmore Avenue, The affair was staged under auspices of the local Lenin memorial committee.

Principal speakers were Mother Ella Reeve Bloor. 75 years old, vet­eran of historic labor struggles and a former member of the old Social­ist party, and William W. Wein-stone, district organizer of the Com­munist party of Michigan. At pres­ent, Mother Bloor is a member of the central committee of the Com­munist party. Mr. Weinstone has participated in the organization of auto workers in Michigan.

Remarks by Mother Bloor dealt with her impressions of a. recent visit to the Soviet Union. Mr. Weinstone discussed the question of the auto union and the trade union problem.

automobile registration and license plate fees. Iff the same period a total of.$686,631,000 was collected at the country's 197,000 filling stations in stste gasoline taxes. Three states levy seven cents per gallon, and the country's wide average is about four cents per gallon. This makes a total of $1,046,414,000 collected by the states from motorists in one year alone. In the last five years the mo­torists have paid, supposedly for highway development and improve­ment, well over 4*2 billion dollars.

"These figures do not include a federal gasoline tax of one cent per gallon, county and municipal gas taxes, excise te»xes, sales taxes, per­sonal property taxes and other taxes levied against automobiles which motor owners must pay. The billion dollars collected last year and the 4'a collected In the last five years were state regtetration and gasoline taxes only—revenue specifically de­signed to make users pay for the highway half of our motor vehicle transportation system.

"The federal government's road improvement appropriations for un­employment relief i nthe last few years total $1,250,000,000, including $200,000 specially earmarked for grade crossing work.

"Consequently, motorists are justi­fied in asking why aren't we making some progress i nthe solution of our highway problem? With these vast sums why aren't our highways catching up to our automobiles? What hope is there for harassed Mr. Motorist whose lnter-city drives are all too often nothing moer than a series of spurts between small towns and cities where inevitably, it seems, the streets are hopelessly bumpy and narrow?

"The answer to these questions, the solution of our automobile traf­fic problem, is found in an analysis of the expenditure of these huge sums. The problem is not one rais­ing additional billions, but rather that of wisely spending the billions i we already ha te to snend. And that, in the final analysis; is in the hands of Mr. Motorist, over 29,000,-000 of him, who foots the bills.

pointed out that the law gave co­operatives the right to fix milk prices and that the Metropolitan Producers' Bargaining Corporation was formed which now includes about 100 co-operatives. From 25 to 30 have not joined up, he said.

May be Public Utility

"Either all have to pull one way or all another," he said. "If we don't, milk may be made a public utility.

"Dairy farmers themselves are working against price fixing," he said.

five times as much milk in the summer as in the winter?" He said this was the relative difference of production in the two seasons..

At the morning session, Francis M. Alvord, Friendship, was re-eelcted a member of the board of directors of the association. The other members of the board whose terms do not expire are Leon Dennis, Canisteo; Lewis J. Jones, Freedom; Glenn Tal­bot, Fillmore, and George B. Thomp­son, Silver Creek.,

LEAGUE WANTS RELIEF BOARD OF SEVEN MEN

Taxpayers' group favors men, not in county employ, to ad­

minister county welfare The executive committee of the

United Taxpayers' League by a poll yesterday voted in favor of the nam­ing of a board of managers, not in the county employ, to administer the joint welfare needs of the city and county when the two are merged.

Suggestion had been made at a recent hearing that the adminis­tration be placed in the control of a special committee of the Erie County Board of Supervisors. Wil­liam E. Robertson, president of the league, who thought this unwise, yesterday communicated with the members of the executive committee and they supported his idea 100 per cent.

When the relief problem of the city is taken over by the county, the league believes it should be handled by a board of managers of seven. They would be two Republicans and two Democrats from the city and two Republicans and one Democrat from the county, under the present county setup. * •

"This is a big problem." said Mr. Robertson last night. "It Involves the spending of millions of dollars. The highest type of men must be selected. They should be paid on the basis of attending each meeting so that their total salary could not exceed $1,000 a year."
