the Technical High school. They
look as near alike as two peas In a
pod. While they are both In the
Tech prep course, they are in dif
ferent sections, and lucky for the
teachers and pupils that they are
separated, for otherwise endless con
fusion would result. Daniel is a
member of Section 5 and Donald
i belongs to Section 6. This year's
freshman class contains more young
students than ever before. In addi
i tlon to five lads who enrolled at 11
i years of age. there are Just seven

During the list fbw days, because
the men themsAves demanded it, al
most all of the Industries tn the city
and district have staged industrial
drives for memberships. It was found
that some of the districts of the city
were undermanned, and, because
there were Insufficient solicitors, many
people were not being seen. The in
dustrial campaign will take care of
this.
Where Headquarters Are
The complaints that solicitors have
failed to call have not been few. It Is

fair to be one of
the earliest Dills pussed by the Leg
islature which will meet within the
next three weeks. The conditions
of the last two years during which
the state hns lost some valuable em
ployes because of salaries paid on
the Hill being less than those ob
tainable In general business have
emphasized the need of such a
board, It Is contended ut the Cnpltol
und the project will be revived.

Governor, Auditor Generul and
State Treasurer should constitute a
board to tlx saluries and provided
>200,000 In the general appropria
tion act to meet changes which
might be .deemed necessary because
of unusual conditions which might
arise. Governor Brumbaugh in his
veto held that the Legislature could
always provide any reasonable re
quests which might bo made for
changes and that such an act would
I complicate matters. Tills veto was
filed after the Legislature adjourned.
