SCOUT FINANCIAL DRIVE ON 8-YARD LINE (Continued from Page 1) for $100 a month, and also provide the services the Council furnishes, including the fine camping site?" he asked. Route said the County Controller's annual report for 1945 showed that Washington county spent $185,000 last year for the care and maintenance of prisoners. "Not very many of these prisoners were from Monongahcla, yet Monongahela taxpayers had to help maintain them.

"By helping to maintain Scouting on a two-county basis, Monon-gahelans are helping to keep down crime. "We do not have a juvenile delinquency problem in Monongahcla. I'm not claiming that Scouting is to take all the credit but it is one of the factors," the chairman added. Hunt commended the local district on surpassing its 1945 quota of $1,500 by $495, and called attention to the fact that this year's goal is only $35 in excess of the amount actually attained last year. The council's budget, however, has been hiked $5,000 to place another field worker on duty.

The speaker said that the council at once time operated on a budget of $8,000, but that the services it rendered were consequently inadequate. The hospital head served as pinch-hitter for John H. O'Ncll, former county commissioner who was to have spoken. O'Neil, who is council finance chairman, was unable to be present because of a cold.

After working for a year in the Americnn Steel and Wire company plant in Donora, Kramer went to work for the Liggett Spring and Axle company forty years ago as an armature winder and foreman in charge of electrical equipment. Ten months Inter he was placed in charge of the engine room as en gineer and master mechanic, a position he held until March 28. 1028 when he was made superintendent of the plant.

He also was a member of the Monongahela Turner basketball teams which won Y.M.C.A. league championships bick in 1907-08.

Physical education of youth has long held the interest of Mr. Kramer he was largely instru mental in having it placed in the schools here. To this project, at the Mononga hcla Turners, he has devoted much of his time, You might say it has been my life's ambition," he declared. Kramr joined the Turners in 1894, and has held some office in the local or national organization since 1905.

United Stcclworkcr.i of America, said today that tho union's request for permission to solicit local business houses for funds apparently had been "misunderstood." "The idea," he declared, "is to seek funds to maintain picket lines, as ha been done in other towns, and not for relief purposes as the Business Mn's Association scorned to believe when it voted $200 to the Associated Charities last week." Pointing out tint the union had never solicited before, and was doing so this time because it had been told that the Donora locals would canvass Monongaheli because of the many local men working in the Donora mills If it did not. "This is a friendly strike, and the management has given us permission to enter the plant for inspection any time we want, so we're not asking the merchants to take sides," Curcio went on. "If they want to show they're behind us. they can donate to the Local union whatever they wish toward expenses of maintaining the picket line. The money will be used for coffee and soup and not for liq uor.
