HOURLY TEMPERATURES. The commission announcement came a day after Jess F. Slater, an honorably discharged veteran of the navy in World War II, filed a mandamus action in district court to compel his appointment to the job by Ar thur H. Daniels, parks commissioner. Alternate Writ.

In a decree with an alternate writ issued by Judge Tom K. Morrow, Daniels was given until 9 a. m. Wednesday to show cause as to why he should not appoint Slater. A vacancy exists because of the recent death of ick Tid-ball, parks department employee for 24 vears.

To qualify for the appointment, an applicant must get a minimum grade of 75 per cent in the examination. Any honorably discharged veterans who qualify receive preference for the appointment. Examination. A published notice of the examination states that applicants may be examined for a "thorough" knowledge of maintenance of planted areas, common and technical knowledge of the names of flowers, sufficient mechanical ability to make minor adjustments to power motors and light trucks, the ability to supervise a small group of employees and to deal tactfully and effectively with the public. Slater now is employed at the municipal garage.

Tidball's salary at his death was $168 a month, but a new man on the job will probably receive less, according to Wilbur Coffeen, civil service commission secretary. Algae at Ottumwa Is Found Harmless (The Register's Iowa News Service.) OTTUMWA, IA. The state department of health reported Friday following an examination of city water that no sickness has been known to result from the type of algae found in the water. The algae has been troublesome from a taste and odor standpoint. A.

H. Wieters, director of public health engineering, said the situation is undesirable because many will drink other water from shallow wells and because persons are inclined not to drink enough water for health if the water is not palatable. He recommended the Installation of a carbon filter here, a suggestion the waterworks trustees have already acted upon. A complete change in the water should be effected in three weeks, they said.

Miller recommended an overhauling of the federal tax setup so that the government's budget would be required to stay within estimated income during the postwar period and he declared that the congressional appropriations committees lack sufficient expert assistance.

Miller said the now-repealed federal crop insurance on cotton and whea; had to pay losses totaling $82,945,000 when premium income amounted to and administrative costs totaled $31,963,000. leaving the government $63,000,000 out of pocket on the project. An effort is being made to re-enact such insurance on a "firmer basis," he reported. Those engaged in federal postwar tax planning "are kneeling in obedience before the shrine of private enterprise," the speaker said. "They realize there is positively no hope unless we are able to gear up the productive free private enterprise of this country." Ask Reduction.

The convention resolutions advocated the reduction of "all peacetime governmental activities to the lowest point commensurate with the proper maintenance of our democracy." "We believe that great centralization of governmental powers is uneconomic, expensive and dangerous to liberty," the resolutions added. "We advocate a full recognition of the separate functions of the executive, legislative and judicial departments of the national government." 100 Iowa Editors At State Conference IOWA CITY, IA.

"The Interest on the federal debt is pretty close to three and three-quarters billions now and it undoubtedly will go over four and half billions." The association re-elected Don V.

Miller said in an afternoon forum meeting: "It Isn't just dollars we are wasting but people's lives, their dreams, their ambitions." He predicted that agencies created during the war emergency won't be easy to eliminate in the postwar period because that "isn't aaHMaaaaa human nature." Miller suggested that permanent appropriations be done away with "so that every single expenditure of federal money may be subjected annually to the challenge of scrutiny." Congress, he explained, does not pass on such appropriations in every budget "but they go on and on" unless ADVEKIISEMENT. QUICK CASH LOANS TO WOMEN!

Rationed. 1 i i in Si! Children Tell Grownups of Reading Aims Those who recommend books for youngsters to read had the tables turned on them Friday at a meeting at Cattell school sponsored by the Cattell branch library, and the school parent-teacher association in observance of book week. Four round tables of children, representing grade levels from first through eighth, told the gathering that they liked to read about things familiar to them and for entertainment. Members of the library board of trustees and City Librarian Forrest B. Spaulding attended the meeting.

Nancy Drew Book. 'Can you find all the books jOU want in the libraries?" a library official asked. 'Tin never able to find the Nancy Drew mystery stories and either have to buy or borrow them from my girl friends," said Jean-nette Adams, an 8A student, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

F. Adams, 3113 E. Eighth st. "I like mystery stories because they give you a feeling of suspense and the Sue Barton books because I want to be a nurse." Library officials said later that the Nancy Drew mysteries aren't In the library because of the similarity in plot in all of them and because they have youths solve impossible situations. Negatie Answers.

Negative answers were received when students were asked, "Do you read historical novels?" and "Do you read books about birds?" Junior high boys said they liked to read of sea battles of long ago, biographies such as "A bf! Lincoln on the Frontier, the Joseph Altsheler books, stories like the "Iron Duke," by Tunis. "We like to have the preacher's son portrayed just as bad as any boy in town," said Conrad Sorenson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Erhard Sorenson, 3408 Wright a 9B student. "Books that tell of boys of our own age and that have action appeal to us," he added.

On Etiquette. Junior high school girls said they like book3 on etiquette and correct speech. "Lassie, Come Home Again," by Eric Knight, was mentioned as one book they liked. Youngsters of all grade levels said they enjoyed books about animals. The first and second graders specified books about horses and books with pictures "that help us remember things." Sonja Knudsen, 7, daughter of Dr.

and Mrs. Johannes Knudsen of Grand View college, a first grade student said she liked the branch library because: "Sometimes when I want a book about a big dog, I am given a book about a little dog. In this library I can choose my own book." Books On Nature. Third and fourth graders recommended Wyss's "The Swiss Family Robinson" and books that "tell about nature, animals, great heroes." Cautioned Ann Watson, a fourth grader, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Harold Watson, 3117 E. Ninth "We should not pull down the corners of book pages. We should keep them from being Foiled and we shouldn't let little children play with them." The all-boy panel of fifth and sixth graders liked "The Good Master," by Seredy, a story of children in Hungary; Jack Brian's "Silver Chief;" craft books, "which if you take time to read, teach you how to make many things of wood;" and folk tales. Billy Matson, 11, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Albert Matson of 708 Morton a sixth grade pupil, explained that he wanted informative books which told of PT boats and foreign countries. Alfred Nielsen, president of the library board of trustees, was a speaker at the meeting. "Educators need to get across the idea that it doesn't take any longer to read a good book than it does trash," he said. Expansion. A suggestion that Cattell school community parents raise their voices at the right time for the postwar expansion plans of the library was made by Spaulding.

The library is located in a small losinear Sixth and College avenues. Intent on Tax Address Fashion Street Shops: First Floor; West. 0 i (Temperatures after 7 p. ra. are unofficial as registered on The Register's thermometer and are not included in the statistics below.) Highest at 4:30 p.
