Mr. Kennedy pointed out that the company has long -established policy requiring every one of its 500 employes to pass the standard Red Cross course in first aid. "Each employe must renew his certificate periodically as part of our general safety program," he said. The company is also conducting review and beginner courses for its own employes at the present time. Within the Massillon division many of our employes have qualified for a Red Cross Instructors rating; the remainder, both women and men, have passed Advanced First Aid courses.

All company trucks are equipped with first aid materiais operated by men capable of using them. As are all Red Cross first aiders, it is their duty to stop and assist 011 all highway accidents. "This policy of first aid training and the employes' keen personal interest in first aid have produced dozens of qualitied first aiders who are now volunteering their, services as lay instructors during this emergency," he said. Kennedy says the Massillon division feels justly proud of its part in earning the National Safety council trophy. This division has the finest safety record within the company, having worked over four years without an Injury which necessitated a single day of lost time.

BUS FRANCHISE MEASURE READY Council May- Consider Pay Raises And Parking Meter Zones The city fathers will find their legislative hopper full to the brim with ordinances, possibly headed by measure sponsored by the public utilities committee to negotiate a franchise for bus transportation. Other legislation which may. be introduced, it was intimated today, includes a measure to provide wage increases for laborers and other workmen in the street, sewage and garbage collection departments and several other branches of- the city; an ordinance to establish parking meter zones and a wartime blackout order.

The public utilities committee is said to have drafted a franchise to open the city's negotiations with the Fidelity Motor Bus Lines, for a new contract to become effective after the present 15-year agreement expires in June. That the city will demand a fare reduction is probable, it was said. The present fare of the Fidelity is 10 cents cash or four tokens for 25 cents, although the present franchise provides for only three tickets for a quarter. Late in 1941 a token for 25-cent franchise was vetoed by former Mayor Harry W. Lash primarily because the legislation did not require the bus com-pany to furnish bond to assure the city that the contract would be carried out.

The proposed wage increases are not expected to affect firemen and policemen who have petitioned for 10 per cent boosts in salaries, it was reported. 250 Meters to be Installed Since council already has authorized the board of control to order the installation of 250 parking meters in the downtown area, lative body is expected to zones for installation. Meters, it is said, will be Installed in Lincoln Way, from 3rd NW, and SW, to 2nd NE, and SE, and a short distance beyond 2nd NE, on the north side of Lincoln Way, in Federal from 1st NE, to 1st NW; in Charles SE, from Factory SE, to Erie in Erie from North to Tremont and 1st NE, and SE, from North NE, to Tremont SE. According to tentative plans onehour parking will be permitted on Lincoln Way between 8 a. m.

and 6 p. m. on week days with the exception of Saturday when the hours will be extended to 9 p. m. In the remainder of the meter zones twohour parking will be allowed, it is said.

Penalties for violation also will be provided. The blackout legislation is ed to conform with proposals submitted two weeks ago to Mayor S. Robert Weirich by Governor John W. Bricker. Passage of uniform blackout ordinance and regulations by all Ohio cities has been recommended by the governor.
