6 EVENING STANDARD Register Fires Back In Fee Issue Schroyer Denies Contention Of Commissioners A Fayette County fee of fie Holder has fired back at th county commissioners in an swer to their recent salary-ver sus-Cee collection charge. John (Wally) Schroyer, regis ter of wills, has taken issue with the commissioners' contention that he is not collecting sufficien fees to pay salaries of his office Board Chairman Anthony Cavalcade hurled the charge ai Mr. Schroyer and other fee office holders last Thursday. Mr Cavalcante stated that the reg- iter of wills office was not self sustaining in that it did not collect enough fees each month to pay the staff and office holder's salaries. He based this on his interpretation of a section in the County Code.

Mr. Schroyer hotly denied this charge late yesterday, stating that "Mr. Cavalcante's attacks on me and the office of the register of wills are unjustified and unwarranted. "It is my opinion that Mr. Cavalcante is only playing politics and is in no way sincere in trying to save the taxpayers' money as he pretends," continued the courthouse official.

Mr. Schroyer added that his office has been and will continue to be self sufficient and sustaining "and will continue to turn in an annual surplus to the county above all fees, expenses and salaries." He pointed out that it is his opinion that the office' of the register of wills has a surplus of fee money throughout the year and that the surplus will continue to grow as the year progresses, "Mr. Cavalcante has either intentionally or inadvertently misinterpreted the County Code pertaining to the payment of salaries from fees collected," stated Mr. Schroyer. He explained that the appears to center on interpretation 1606 of the code.

"Under that section it clearly states that any post surplus during the register of wills' entire term of office may be used for salaries, if there is a 'slow' month during the course of the year. This is clear since the code refers to the 'aggregate of net fees during his term of office'," stated Mr. Schroyer, who added: "The only time it is necessary to deduct from regular pay checks approved by the Salary Board is when there is no surplus available for use from all previous months' fees during the entire term office. This, however, can be replaced 'in any subsequent month or months as is set forth in the code." Schroyer said that he has consulted several lawyers on the matter, explaining thai he "has no intention of violating the County Code on even a minor technical point. "They have advised me that the interpretation as I have explained it is correct and that all the offices in the courthouse have been complying with it for years.

"There is no question in my mind that this office will continue to operate with efficiency and will always show a surplus for use by the county General Fund for the benefit of the taxpayers and citizens of Fayette County," Mr. Schroyer concluded.

Soprano Is Hailed For Top Performance By WALTER STOREY JR. An artist in the grand tradition' mezzo soprano Mildrec Miller ended the 1963-64 Community Concert season here lasl night on a triumphant note. The personification of graciousness not only in musical capability but also in appearance, the beautiful Miss Miller showed a wide ranging grasp of varied selections. Her voice does not possess extraordinary power but with her clarity and perfect diction, she doesn't need it. Her command of language French, German, Italian, English is superb.

Perhaps the finest perform- a of the entire program came at the very end, when she sang in perfect style the difficult "Non piu mesta" aria from Gioacchino Rossini's opera "La Cenerentola" the happy ending to the story of Cinderella. In this selection, Miss Miller displayed excellent voice con- rol, and reached the evening's leight in projecting herself to he audience. Another highlight was a "Samson and Delilah" aria. Miss Miller began her pro- jram with a selection by Bach and followed with two Henry 3 urcell creations and an aria' torn Mozart's "Titus" opera. She showed versatility and as- a In following with Brahms and Strauss selections The sparkling quality of Miss Miller's voice became fully apparent in a group of four French songs, of which Pierne's "Le Moulin" (The Mill) with its rep- i i "Tournez, tournez" (turn, turn) was the standout.

Prior to the concluding Cinderella aria, Miss Miller turned to English and a somewhat lighter choice of selections that included "Simple Gifts," Shaker song, and a beautifully done folk song, "Come all you fair and tender ladies." Miss Miller's encores were as much a treat as the printed program, as she responded to the audience applause with the familiar and ever'- thrilling "Carmen" and a medley of Viennese waltzes. She noted in an aside to the audience that Carmen and the waltzes were known and appreciated even in Borneo (she recently made a concert tour io that Far Eastern island, the iirst American artist ever to sing there). Piano accompanist Edwin Biltcliffe was outstanding. The concert in the Uniontown Joint Senior High School auditorium, was the last of four presented for the current season by the Uniontown Community Concert Assn. in cooperation with the Fayette Bank Trust Co.

Normally the negligence of a child cannot be transferred to his adult parent and thus impose 'liability upon the parent. Therefore, the father would not usually be held responsible for injuries which his child inflicted upon another child in a fight However, if the parent was aware of'the dangerous and negligent nature of his child, and had done nothing to curb the child's activities, he might be held responsible.

The father has thus been negligent himself and is being punished for this negligence, rather thin assum- in the negligence of the child The above question raises two additional possibilities. The injured child and his parents might be unable to recover for injuries because of the contributory negligence of the injured child. Secondly, because child participated in the fight it might be found that he assumed the risk of dangers inherent in such activity and couldn't complain when he suffered such injury.

There was no fire. First Lady Shuns Air from One) ing mechanics swooped down on the engine, quickly found the trouble "the fuel filter was blocked" and had a new filter installed in five minutes flat. She thanked the head mechanic and the motorcade moved on into the rainy night. When the First Lady made her impromptu decision to take the 348-mile drive back to Washington, she tested the ingenuity of the Secret Service. It proved ready, even down to providing pillows and blankets for the long journey.

Four cars already had been borrowed for Mrs. Johnson's day-long visit to Cleveland to speak at a YWCA convention and to' see a public housing development for the 'elderly. Cleveland's entire available force of Secret Service agents-- of them-- joined two White House dgents to do the driving and protect thf First. Lady's entourage. Their passengers included Mrs.

Johnson, White House physician Dr. Janet Travell. Public lousing Administrator Marie HcGuire, Mrs. Anthony Cele- rezze, wife of the secretary of welfare; the First Lady's press secretary, Elizabeth Carpenter, 'ive reporters and a presidential jhotographer. All along the route, state po- ice of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland and patrolmen of the District of Columbia neatly synchronized to take turns provid- ng lead and back up patrol cars.

Walkie talkies connected all the cars of the motorcade. Departing at 4:29 p.m., the agents made it plain that all speed limits-- 65 to 70 on he urnpikes-would be held firmly in the slick-wet roads. The House was darkened, except for the President's office, when Mrs. Johnson's motorcade finally pulled the outhwest gate at 1:23 a.m. Despite the tiring journey, Mrs.

Johnson took time to thank everyone who had joined in her aga and to wave a good night. N.

PINCH TIPS OF-MUMS-for Masses of Blooms By ALLAN SWENSON Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Spring is mum-pinching time in the garden.

Chrysanthemums often gel long and spindly by autumn. They fall over just when they should look their best. To prevent this, take a few minutes today to pinch back the mums. All you need to do is to use thumb and forefinger to pinch out the young, growing tips. This makes the plant branch out.

It doesn't get so long and leggy, and produces a sturdy, well-branched plant with house flowers. Simply remove the top half- inch of each shoot, when the plants are eight inches tall. In a few days you'll see new side branches start to form. As soon as branches reach about six inches long, pinch them. As long as the branches grow out, keep this pattern up until about mid- July.

After that time, flower buds will be starting to form. This system of pinching-out terminal growth is fine for chry- samthemums where you want a mass of bloom. If you grow the i a 'varieties with large blooms, Uie so-called "football mums," you may want to aim for a few big, beautiful blooms. To do this, wait until the top bud is well formed, and strong. Then remove the side buds below it, to force all the growth into one big blossom bud.

That's the way to get i "football chrysanthemums. But for masses of bloom on sturdy chrysanthemum plants that aren't leggy and splindly, pinch the buds back until the first or second week of July. $113,000 (Continued from Page One) placement of the windows in Central School, remodeling of the auditorium at Craig School, removal of trees at Oakland and Berkeley Schools, paving of the sidewalk in frqnt of Oakland School, and addition of one teacher to the staff.
