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 Asks Tax Allowance

there should be no difference, and
last week introduced a bill to
eprmit coal miners to deduct the
cost and maintenance of their
work clothes.
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.”
