Times lines 1 lie 1 Dover-New Philadelphia, tthio B-l Uh'ville employe pay proposal cared EAGLE. John Love, son of the Harry Loves of 504 2nd av. SE, Beach City, received his Eagle Scout award" Thursday night in a ceremony at United Methodist Church there. The 18-year-old Fairless High senior Is a member of Boy Scout Troop 301 and has been active in Scouting four years. He has held numerous troop posts and has earned his Pro Deo Patria, the God and Country award through the First Evangelical Lutheran Church at Beach City, where he is a member.

Love attended Philmont Scout Ranch last summer in New Mexico, is treasurer of Fairless Photography Club and a member of Thespian and Math-Science clubs. Monroe Miller is Scoutmaster. UHRICHSVILLE A three-year wage proposal for city employes was submitted to council Thursday night. It will be considered by the ordinance committee, which also will ask employes' reactions to the proposal. Dick Dorland of the finance committee presented the package, which calls for a wage increase of 5.5 per cent this year, retroactive to Jan.

the same increase next year and a 6 per cent increase in 1975. He estimated the increases would total $9000 this year. The increases would result in the following monthly pay for 1973: fire and police chiefs; $412, assistant chiefs; $393, regular patrolmen and firemen; $231, income tax clerk; $375, service department foreman, and $348, regular service department workmen. Everybody's mn Ed DeGrow "What an inconvenience, what a bore, what an expense," the young girl said as she put her clothes in the coin-operated laundromats. "It just isn't fair.

Someday I am going to have my own automatic washer so I do not have to bother taking the car the three blocks to the laundromat." This young bride's remarks came shortly before a friend in Newcomerstown sent me an old'' Receet for Wash- in does" which had originally come from a Kentucky grandmother to her granddaughter who was to become a bride. Here it is: "BILD FIRE IN BACK yard to het kettle of rain water. tubs so smoke won't blow in eyes if wind is peart. Shave one hole cake of lie sope in bilin water. Sort things.

Also privy. Turn tubs upside down. Go put on clean dress. Smooth hair with side combs. Brew cup tee.

Set and rest a spell to wait on your man and count your There is a good piece of homespun philosophy here which we hope gets across. ON A RECENT TELEVISION commercial, the announcer started by saying, "In the olden days, women had to use this sort of equipment for laundering." I expected to see an old washboard, zinc tub and perhaps a copper wash boiler or even a bar of yellow Pels Naptha soap or home made soap made out of lye and kitchen grease. Instead I saw a picture of an old time wringer washer but there was disappointment here, too, as the wringer was electrically operated. I can remember when it had to be turned by hand. The sun was a good "whitener" in those days but I had to keep the dog from walking over the sheet on the grass and hoped that birds did not fly over.

IT CAME TO MY mind that some young girls in high school today had never seen a hand wringer or wash board and the "olden days'' to them was different than the' 'olden days," to me. I also remembered what I had heard about the'Good Old Days'one time. "What was so good about the good old days?" the man said. "The only thing we want to remember about them are the good times. The inconvenience, the difficulty of living are all This may be so but I also think there is something false about it, too.

People are reaching back to capture something that is lost today. The present is said to be too hectic, too much of a rat race, almost beyond endurement. People seek to' 'escape'' by going back in movies, television shows and so-called "antique collections" to the good old days, WHILE THIS MAY be called "human there are also dangers here. Of course the biggest danger is saying "It was good enough for my father, it is good enough for me." People and communities stagnate under such a philosophy. The "good" in the good old days was not the material things, the wash board, lye soap and the hand wringer etc.

but rather the quieter living habits, the closer knit family, the indulgence of one man for another which was not torn apart by fast cars, super highways and the television set. Now there is a current fad to "escape" to anything, just to escape. THE "IN" SET ON the east and west coasts are now going back to the so- called "Fabulous 50's" for their nostalgia kick. While the dress and the haircuts and even the music might be different, the movement is doomed to failure. What is so fabulous about the '50's? We had the Korean War, the Joseph McCarthy hearings, the hydrogen bomb and traitors such as Judith Coplan, Dr.

Klaus Fuchs and Julius Rosenberg. France and Russia exploded the hydrogen bomb, the U.S. Army seized the railroads and steel mills to prevent a strike. Puerto Ricans attempted to kill President Truman and shot up the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court affirmed the infamous Fifth Amendment saying no one could testify against himself and Estes Kefauver was frustrated. The May Maus were active in Africa, the U-2 was downed in Russia, Egypt seized the Suez Canal and nine ne- groes were barred from classes at Little Rock, Ark.

after the U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawed racial segregation. Six Marines drowned at Parris Island. Fidel Castro, fighting in the hills of Cuba, declared "I am not a Communist." I could go on and on, there is much more in the 50's but I am sure you get the general idea. You can have the 50's if you want them.

I don't. For my nostalgia I will go back to the wash board and the gratitude for blessings. The additional one-half per cent increase the third year is earmarked for insurance and fringe benefits. ALSO INCLUDED in the package is a $3000 per year paid insurance policy; one day personal leave, and vacations of two weeks for one year service, three weeks for 10 years and four weeks for 20 years. The personal leave day must be submitted three days prior to its request, and cannot immediately precede or follow holidays or vacations.

The meter maid will receive only the fringe benefits, since she recently received a pay increase. Dorland noted some cuts would have to be made in the 1973 appropriations in order to meet the wage increases. He added that the city is receiving more from the city income tax than in previous years. Mayor Harold Edwards, who requested the measure be enacted last night, said there would be more moeny to work with this year. He also noted Dennison council has requested a copy of the local proposal.

In asking for immediate action, the mayor stated: "I don't want to see people here carrying signs like in Dover." However, council decided to send the measure to the ordinance committee. IN DISCUSSION of the package, Edwards suggested a change in the service department, setting up a third category for equipment operators, who would re ceive more money than regular work men. He said it would result in better operation of the department. Two men designated as operators could take charge in case the foreman is absent, he said. Rates suggested by Edwards for the three categories were $3.46 per hour for the foreman, $3.34 for equipment operators, and $3.22 for regular workers.

A new employe would receive $2.90 his first six months, $3.05 the second six months and the regular worker wage after a year's service. Clerk Gloria Gilmore also requested that council consider an increase for the city treasurer, who is currently receiving $500 per year, of which he pays $75 for bonding. Dorland suggested a blanket- bonding policy for all city employes. PRELIMINARY PLANS for the Roahoke sewer project were reviewed. Two plans being considered call for sewer lines along either old Rt.

250 or the new Rt. 250-800 bypass, both from McCauley dr. to Johnson dr. Quicksall and Associates of New Philadelphia, contractors for the project; has indicated that if the bypass route is used, easements would have to be obtained from property owners. The old Rt.

250 route would require no easements. The mayor noted if the latter route were taken, some property owners would not be services by the new sewer line. Safety Director Scott Doney, who will attend a traffic engineering course at Columbus on March 19-23, will be reimbursed by the city at four-fifths of weekly pay rate of the police chief for attending. Costs for the course in uniform traffic control will be paid by the state. Dan Blickensderfer had suggested sending Police Chief Frank Barker to the school, pointing out he would be working with traffic for several years, whereas the safety director was appointed yearly by the mayor.

Bob Kilpatrick agreed with Blickensderfer in a "straw vote," but the measure passed unanimously following discussion. TWO EMERGENCY ordinances were passed. One sets a- special fund for monies to be used for chlorination facilities at local sewage disposal plant. The other makes assault and battery on a policeman or fireman a criminal offense. A liquor license transfer notice from Ohio Department of Liquor Control was read for Green's Restaurant's D-l, D-2 and D-3 permits.

The restaurant will be moving from 116 E. 3rd st. to 216 E. 3rd St. A request from Herrick st.

Bomber pilot who balked reportedly given discharge NEW YORK (UPI) The Air Force B52 pilot who refused to fly further bombing missions over North Vietnam has been discharged according to his lawyer, Marvin M.

Karpatkin. The American Civil Liberties Union counsel said "Air Force sources" informed him thatCapt. Michael Heck had been granted an "other than honorable discharge." He added that Heck was "dizzy with the news" after being told of the report. Karpatkin said that although he and Heck were glad that the Air Force had let the pilot out, the ACLU intended to challenge the type of discharge given. Following his refusal to fly a bombing mission Dec.

27, Heck applied for an honorable discharge, but Karpatkin said it was refused. The Air Force reportedly accepted his resignation after first recommending a court-martial. Soul food: Not only inexpensive, but believed to be super-nutritious LOS ANGELES (UPI) "Soul food," popular with black Americans, is an exceptionally-nutritious and balanced diet, according to a health expert. It may be more nutritious than the diet of the tvoical white American," said Dr. Derrick Jeliffe, professor of public health at the UCLA School of Public Health.

He recently concluded a study of the value of soul food, which is gaining in popularity and is now featured in a growing number of restaurants. The diet was originally determined by the foods available to slaves and sharecroppers in the Deep South. "Hog jowls, chitlings, chicken backs and catfish are not only inexpensive, but perhaps more nutritious than higher status cuts of meat," Jeliffe said. Dover junior, lab bands set concert A concert featuring the Dover junior band and high school lab band will be sponsored by the Dover music department Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the school auditorium.

Under the direction of Larry Gillaspie, the 7th and 8th graders of the junior band will play marches, chorales, overtures and popular numbers including "The Bells of St. Mary's," "Bunker Hill" march, "Balladair" and "Born Free." The 24-member lab band directed by Frederick Delphia will play numbers from Dixieland to rock, including In the Mood, Leap Frog and Theme From Summer of'42 Admission is free with donations accepted. The typical corn products (grits and corn pone) provide the proper protein and amino acid balance when combined with the traditional legumes, pinto beans and black eyed peas, and many vitamins are provided by collards and mustard greens, he said. It should be called food, "he said. 'body and soul Soviet 'Godfather 9 sentenced to prison From Wire Reports MOSCOW Otari Lazishvili was offered a deal he couldn't refuse.

He is the Soviet version of "The Godfather," a wheeler-dealer who built a Mafia-like financial empire and wielded prodigious political power in Soviet Georgia. Now, he is behind bars, sentenced to 15 years. The sentencing of Lazishvili and 81 associates in an illicit manufacturing enterprise, which bilked the state of 836,792 rubles (more than $1 million at the official exchange rate), was reported in the Tbilisi paper Zary a Vostoka. THE AFFAIR IS believed one reason for the downfall of Georgia Communist party chief Vasily Mzhva- nadze last September. He was replaced by Eduard A.

Shevardnadze, 45, who is regarded as tough, incorruptible and an enemy of the La- zishvili machine. He was formerly Georgia's interior minister. Lazishvili, an unemployed chauffeur and a onetime economics student, organized in the late 1960s an extensive network of underground factories to turn out hard-to-get consumer goods such as nylon raincoats and shoping bags. He sold them on the black market at inflated prices. The newspaper Trud has reported he was able to acquire two villas with swimming pools and several automobiles and to throw lavish banquets to celebrate victories of his favorite soccer team.

KNOWLEDGEABLE sources said Lazishvili had been a frequent guest of Mzhvanadze and had given expensive gifts to Mrs. Mzhvanadze. Lazishvili became so powerful, the sources said, that he virtually was able to dictate appointments and dismissals of Georgia Republic ministers and other high officials of the party and government. What is it? An ink spot on the picture? Use of the wrong chemical? A hole in the negative? No, this is no darkroom mistake, but an unusual winter scene recorded by Al King, T-R photographer, near Atwood Lake. The "black blob" on the road is hiker James Hoff of Fleming, N.J., who passed through this area Thursday afternoon, en route from New Castle, to St.

Louis, Mo. Hoff is carrying a large pack on his back, which accounts for the "headless" appearance. Even so garbed, it was a cold day for walking. The high temperature was 32 while the low was 9. The temperature this morning at 7:30 was 10.

The U.S. Weather Service predicts a warming trend, beginning Sunday, with a chance of showers and a high in the 40s by Tuesday. Search continuing for crash victims From Wire Reports ALAMEDA, Calif. Searchers recovered eight bodies and part of a ninth late Thursday from the still-smoldering ruins of the 27-unit apartment complex hit by a crippled Navy jet Wednesday night. "God knows how many were cremated," said Fire Chief Ernest Servente.

He estimated as many as 20 may have perished in the crash and subsequent fires. Initial reports indicated the death toll could go as high as 40 to 50. A Navy investigator, meanwhile, reported that the Corsair attack fighter experienced radio trouble just before it burst into flames and nose-dived into the apartment house, part of a complex housing some 200 people. "There is a good chance that many people may have been incinerated by the intense heat generated by exploding aviation gasoline," Deputy Coroner Roland W. Prahl said.

Emergency teams had to remain Wednesday night until the roaring infer- no subsided somewhat so they could get close enough to fight fires and help residents escape the danger areas. Even then, most of the workers were protected by asbestos fire suits to ward off the blistering heat. Authorities are saying 20 of buildings 41 occupants reached safety, but status of the others is Still in doubt. One escapee said he believed there may be as many as 25 people buried in the rubble, while other eyewitnesses to the tragedy reported seeing only "a few" escape the building before it exploded. The injured count has reached 24 and many rescue workers, still at the scene since the crash, have collapsed with tigue.

Navy spokesmen said they are certain the plane's pilot, Lt. Robert Ward, djd not eject before the crash because they found his ejector seat, handle and water rescue dyemaker in the ruins. The pilot had been returning to nearby Lemoore Naval Air Station following a training mission when the crash occurred. In fatal collision with train Children say bus driver ignored warning screams LITTLEFIELD, Tex. (UPI) Raul Diaz, 11, one of 16 children who survived a bus-train collision three days ago, said he and his schoolmates saw the train coming, but were unable to get the driver, Artis Ray Johnson, 68, to remain stopped at the flashing red lights.

Seven children were killed when the freight train hit the school bus in the rural northwest Texas city. "When the bus driver stopped, everyone saw that a train was coming," Raul said Thursday. "I saw it coming. When the bus started up again, everyone yelled. But he tried to make it across." Police Chief James Cox has already charged Johnson, a retired carpenter and school custodian, with driving the bus without the required chauffeur's license.

The bus carried 23 children. Of 16 injured, one was critically hurt and two were in serious condition. Johnson was also hospitalized, but was released Thursday and secluded himself in his home. Baker to expand Officials of Baker Highway Express on Commercial Parkway in Dover have taken out a building permit for a new 12C by 120-foot office and storage facility. Contractor for the $150,000 project is J.

A. Raeder. Lucky Barrel The name of Emmett Roth of 407 Beitler NE, New Philadelphia, has been drawn at Yelverton Bonds Shoe Store for the $1000 Lucky Barrel award. Roth has 72 hours to contact the Chamber of Commerce. The barrel, sponsored by the New Philadelphia Retail Merchants Council, will move to LaFountaines.
