Aviation Study Now Part of Girls9 Course Union-Endicott High School's shop course for girls has been changed this year to include in struction for the air-minded. Russell E.

Norris, head' of In dustrial Arts Department, said the change was designed to prepare the girls for junior and senior courses in mechanical drawing and junior aviation, he said. Mr. Norris said that last year each student in the junior aviation course was given eight hours of flight instruction under a state fund. This year the state aid has been withdrawn. However, Mr.

Norris said that he hoped the Board of Education would provide a lund large enough to give each student at least two hours' instruction. The general shop class this year, besides instruction in aviation, is being changed slightly to interest more girls, Mr. Norris said. Instead of taking heavy with the boys as they have done in the past, he said, they are given instruction in arts that will help them in the home. Some of these are knife sharpen ing, furniture finishing and enamel ing, and repair of household appliances.

Temperatures in Other Cities Jobs Heads fo; Sharp Protest Endicott Village Employes Claim They Need Extra Work Rumblings of discontent among Endicott's municipal employes over a Board of Trustees ban on outside employment for such employes may lead to an organized protest.

This was the indication today when members of several municipal departments attacked the measure as "unfair" and "discriminatory." The ban was invoked at the Village Board meeting last week when Trustee Louis N. Picciano, who is also a member of Endicott Fire Commission, proposed enforcement of civil service regulations which, he said, already prohibited outside employment for village workers. No Shortage Now The civil service regulation, Mr. Picciano said, was not enforced during the war. "But there's no longer any manpower shortage in Endicott," he said.

The so far unorganized protest centered in the Fire and Police Departments where the largest proportion of workers with outside employment is located. Dissatisfied employes, who asked that their names not be used, contended that they stayed on the job through the war only because they were able to implement their wages with outside income. They argued that imposition of of the ban at this time cuts them from a source of income necessary to maintain their standard of living under a peacetime economy which has shown no disposition to produce lower living costs. Protest Not Expected Mayoyr E. Raymond Lee said today that he has been informed of the discontent but that he was not aware whether there would be an organized protest.

Municipal department heads supported the Village Board's ban at the time it was imposed, and they indicated today that there has been no change in their attitude. Department heads were instrumental in raising municipal wages for fire and police to a level above the average for comparably sized communities, they stressed. 'Just in Time' Jury Decides A Broome County Supreme Court jury late yesterday decided that Herbert G. Huggins of Hast? mjs paid for his liability insurance just in time. The defendant in the action, the Merchants Mutual had contended that Mr.

Huggins paid $10 for a policy within an hour after hi car was involved in an accident in which an Endicott woman was injured. Mr. JIuggins and the jury agreed with him in its verdict contended that he paid 'for the liability coverage Just an hour before the accident happened. Must Pay $2,000 In its verdict, the jury ruled that the insurance company must pay $2,000 in damages, plus ex penses, to Mrs. Mary Whitman of Endicott, the plaintiff.

Mrs. Whitman was a passenger In a car involved in a collision with Mr. Huggins car Aug. 7, 1943, near Cicero. Last year Mrs.

Whitman won a $2,000 verdict against Mr. Huggins in Supreme Court. Mr. Huggins, producing a receipt for the $10 premium, said the in surance company must pay under terms of an oral contract. The accident had happened at about 1:30 p.

and he said he had paid the premium at 12:30. 2 Ex-Justices Appear The insurance company main tained that Mr. Huggins paid the fee shortly after 2 p. and thus was not covered at the time of the accident. Two former Supreme Court justices were the attorneys in yes terday action.

Riley II. Heath of Binghamton represented the plaintiff, and David F. Lee of Norwich appeared for the insurance company. ft's 'Neither Too Old Nor Too Young It doesn't matter how old you are, you're eligible to join Endicott's new Men's Republican Club if you subscribe to the policies of the G. O.

P. When Republican committeemen announced the organization of the new group last week, they humorously remarked they wanted every Republican "from 21 to 90" as an active member. But somebody remembered that that left out former Justice George F. Eckert, whose Republicanism has not been dimmed by the fact that he is 98. So they raised the classification to read "from 21 to 100." And then Raffaele Cordilione, father of Police Sgt.

Nicholas Cordilione, had reason to feel slighted. He'll celebrate his one hundred first birthday late this month. So now, if you happen to be 150, you'll be welcome at the organization meeting Friday, Sept. 28, in Hotel Frederick. Proposal Just Brees Opposition to $21 Level Challenged by Endicott Man Triple Cities opponents of a $21 weekly minimum for retail trade employes were attacked today by.

John J. Dapolito, counsel for Endicott North Side Taxpayers League. Contrasting Saturday's announcement by IBM that it is Instituting $3,000,000 in immediate wage increases and a retirement plan with an announcement from Assemblyman Orlo M. Brees that he was protesting to Governor Dewey on the proposed minimums, Mr. Dapolito wrote the Second District Assemblyman: "I hope, Mr.

Brees, that you speak for only a small faction of Triple Cities retailers. Should Share Prosperity "In this Valley of Opportunity the retailers and small business men should follow the example set by the big industrialists. The prosperity they enjoy from good wages and. large payrolls should be shared with their employes. "Every employe," the league official told the assemblyman, "whether an IBM employe or a store clerk, is entitled to living wage.

"You can't buy proper clothing, food, medical attention, housing and other necessaries of decent living on less than $21 week. The proposed minimum wage for retail employes should become law." Mr. Dapolito is a former political antagonist of Mr. Brees. Running as a Democrat and an American Labor Party nominee last fall, he was defeated by the Republican incumbent.

Mr. Brees, who acted for what he called a faction of Triple Cities retailers in protesting to Governor Dewey, had contended that the proposed minimum of 52V4 cents an hour for full-time employes and 57Vi cents for part-time employes was not feasible for several reasons. If the state's minimum wage policy were to become general, Mr. Brees argued, there would be no room for collective bargaining by unions. Sees Job Limitations He contended that labor shortages, diversified lines within the retail business and varying price schedules made establishment of fair minimums impossible; and he contended the minimums would have the effect of limiting job opportunities for women, studenls and apprentices.

"I don't think," Mr. Dapolito countered today, "that it would take any skilled student of economics to recognize the fallacy of these arguments or the reasons why they are given. "The IBM he said, "answers one argument. It will be paying twice the minimum voluntarily." Mr. Brees had noted that the establishment of minimums "by would tend to translate minimum pay into maximum pay.

Mr. Dapolito also countered to the effect that there is no labor shortage but rather an oversupply of labor, that minimum wages "have been applied with great success in many thousands of various occupations of every conceivable kind and description." To Mr. Brees's contention that minimum wages "by fiat" constitute a socialistic approach to wage problems in a capitalistic economy, Mr. Dapolito replied: "If this is socialism; so are national minimum wages, social security, unemployment insurance and workmen compensation. If these humane laws constitute socialism, then let's have mbre of it." 144-HClub Heads Picked The names of 14 Broome County 4-H Club members have been submitted to state club leaders for competition which may send them into national contests.

The candidates were selected on the basis of their records in fields of club work achievement. Selec tions were made by County Agent Edmund N. Moot and Miss Catherine Levey, associate agent. State leaders will choose the best records for submission to national club leaders, who vvill name the 1945 champions late fall. Broome County's candt tes: Clarence Worden of Windsor, dairy cattle.
