House Considering Raise for Governor The House of Representatives at Harrisburg this week is con- sidering a bill to give Pennsyl- vania Governor and other high state officials substantial increas- es in salaries. The Governor would be boosted from $18,000 to $25,000 a year. Members of his cabinet now re- ceiving $8,000, $10,000 and $12,- 000 would be increased to $195,- 000. The measure was passed by the Senate last week, 50 to 0. It will not apply to Gov. James H. Duff, since his pay cannot be raised for the term for which he was elected. Bill Introduced Banning Fishing In Early Spring A ban on virtually all fishing for a month in advance of the op- ening of the trout season Apr. 15 is proposed in a new bill of- fered in the Legislature. Reps. George A. Goodling (R- York) and George C. Shoemaker (R-Schuyikill) sponsors of the measure, said it was designed to protect trout and other fish stoc- ked in advance of the season. The only fishing permitted would be in unposted waters. Accidental Farm Mishaps Problem There are nineteen thousand ac- cidental deaths on farms every ear, This totals up to an ecomic loss of one billion dollars annually. Enough time is lost to the far- mer through accidents to pro- duce more than half the average annual wheat crop in the United States. More than one-third of farm accidents occur in homes, with falls, burns, poisons, suffocation and firearms as the principal rea- sons. Farm work deaths are placed at 4,300 a year, motor vehicles ac- counting for about 1,000 of these fatal accidents. In addition, there are 1,500,000 non-fatal farm accidents every year, with many of them causing permanent crippling. “Agriculture is far behind most other groups in safety endeavor,” declared the fram division of the National Safety Council. Only recently has a beginning been made to reduce farm acci- dents. Being alert to farm accidents will ultimately produce a safety consciousness on the part of the farm people. A farm safety program means the changing of some of the ba- sic habits of 27,000,000 people. Their habits of work, play, dri- ving and living must be latered to reduce the cause of accidents. There is an explanation for the large number of farm accidents. Much of the farmer's work is done early in the morning or late at night when it is dark. There are animals to be con- | sidered and carelessness with an- |imals often results in tragedy. | Farmers try to do their own re- | pair work on buildings, and falls Jaze frequent. Firemen Backing | Four State Bills A joint law and legislation com- mittee of volunteer firemen’s as- | sociations in Cambria, Blair, Som- erset and Bedford counties has | called for enactment of four bills (which would benefit volunteer | firemen. | The committee is seeking pass- {age of three bills introducted in | the Pennsylvania General Assem- bly. Included are House Bill 421 | which would allow county com- | missioners to contribute to sup- | port oi fire schools; House Bill 561 which would add heart at- | tacks and other ailments suffered [by firemen in line of duty to the {list of occupational diseases for | which compensation can be paid, | | and House Bill 621 which would | force motion picture theaters to | throw a plan of fire exits on the screen before showing of movies. | Firemen are also backing U. S. | Senate Bill S1007 which provides | that contributions to volunteer fire companies would be deducti- ble from income tax. This bill was introduced by Senator Edward Martin of Pennsylvania. Action was taken at a meeting on Wednesday evening of last gational Church. Ebensburg fire- men were hosts at the session. Judge Ivan J. McKenrick was guest of honor. He paid tribute to work carried out by volunteer firemen. Auxiliary Elects Election of officers highlighted the meeting of the ladies’ auxil- iary to Lewis E. Belcher Post 343, Barnesboro Veterans of for- eign Wars, last Wednesday even- ing in the post home. Mrs. Kath- erine Newman was elected presi- dent to succeed Miss Lillian But- terworth. Other officers elected were: Mrs. Nora Goaziou, senior vice president; Mrs. Helen Voytish, | junior vice president; Mrs. Leo- ina Wilson, conductor; Mrs. Edith Butterworth, chaplain; Mrs. Alice Strollo, treasurer; Mrs. Mary Strollo, trustee for three years, and Mrs. Mary Pomassino, guard. Mrs. Voytish and Miss Butter- worth were selected to attend a banquet honoring the national president in New Castle on Mar. 26. The installation of officers will take place in the post home on Apr. 13. Rep.

Coffey, who represents the coal mining area of Cambria and ad- joining counties, said: “The clothing used by coal mi- ners is unsuited for any purpose except in their work. “It is necessary to have heavy types of clothing that will wear well and protect the miner’s body from different conditions under which he works in the mines. “Furthermore, speaking from personal experience, I can assure you that when dressed in soiled miners’ clothes, I hesitated to in- trude myself upon others in pub- lic conveyances and in the streets and highways.” He said in an explanatory statement that the internal rev- enue bureau makes allowances for such clothing only in extreme caseg because persons in other oc- cupations that require special clo- thing might demand the same treatment. “Under decisions of the tax court, deductions have been al- lowed for the cost and mainten- ance of uniforms of nurses, high- way patrolmen, railroad conduc- tors and milk salesmen, but sim- ilar deductions have been denied to mill and general construction workers,” he added. “Deductions are at present al- lowed for safety equipment worn by coal miners in their work— such as hard hats, safety shoes and boots—but certainly the rest oi their clothing is not adapta- ble for any kind of civilian use and should be deductible.” Spring Forest F ire Season Close; Outdoorsmen Asked to Be Careful With Spring forest fire season could replant.
