NOTICE To Home Delivered SUBSCRIBERS OF THE ALTOONA TRIBUNE NEW YORK UP) Events disclosed last week that many Americans not only earn their liv ing in curious ways, they feel deeply about these jobs.

A Detroit garbageman wept when he retired after 31 years on the job. "It's surprising how much you can find out about people by inspecting their garbage cans," said he. Four new city employes earnest ly went to work in St. Louis tracking down pickled pigs feet in taverns. The point of their job? Tav ern operators who serve pigs feet must have restaurant permits.

New Mexico game wardens take their jobs so seriously that when they held a convention they kept the fact a secret. They feared that if it became known they were all in Albuquerque, poachers would have had a field day. Surely none earn their salaries in odder ways than state legislators. For instance: The Arizona House has hired the charming lady speech counselor of a charm school to read all bills introduced. A bill limiting the number who can attend an execution died in' the New Mexico Legislature after legislators forgot to include the executioner.

A bill introduced in the Pennsylvania Legislature would prohibit political candidates from using old photographs of themselves during campaigns. A bill introduced in the Rhode Island Legislature would prohibit small type on insurance policies. A bill introduced in the Ohio Legislature would put a higher tax on king-size cigarettes than regular size cigarettes. The. author of this bill, by the way, rolls his own.

"Speaking of cigarettes, the woman operator of a small store in Farmingdale, N. takes her job seriously. A man came in, laid down a dollar and asked for two packs of cigarettes, then suddenly drew a gun. The woman screamed. The holdup man fled.

Left both his dollar and his cigarettes. I hen there was the Cincinnati fortune teller whose crystal ball was stolen. Apparently he just hadn't been able to foresee that theft. Finally there was an affair in Lexington, where if you'll pardon the expression thines kept getting fowler and fowler. Everett Fowler was arrested on a warrant signed by Judge Dan Fowler and sworn to by Mrs.

Bet ty owier, charging him with fail ing to support the Fowler children. The arresting officer was Patrolman Pal Fowler. Couple, judge and pairoiman are not related. Man Found Dead In Home Saturday Louis W. Augustine, 62, of 3022 Pine manager of the Shaffer store at Fifth avenue and Fifteenth street, was found dead early Saturday.

Death occurred from a heart attack about 1 A. M. Friday, Coroner D. Harold Trox-ell said. City police went to the.

home after a neighbor, Leroy Robinson, 3024 Pine told George R. Augustine, 2712 18th that he had not seen his brother since Thursday evening. The victim lived alone in the house. Police found the body lying in the bathroom and notified the coroner. Mr.

Augustine was born in Altoona June 2, 1893, a son of Louis and Frances (Zoellner) Augustine. He was a veteran of World war a member of St. Mary's Catholic church, the Bavarian Aid society and St. Joseph's society. He leaves the following brothers and sisters: Mrs.

Fran ces Hoover and Mrs. Agnes Smith of Cincinnati, William R. and Mrs. Elizabeth Irvin of Lakemont, George R. and Mrs.

Marcella Hal-ton of this city. Friends are being received at the N. A. Stevens mortuary. Discoverer Of Vitamin Dies LONDON UP) Sir Edward Mellanby, 70, credited with discovering vitamin collapsed and died Sunday while working on his small garden plot.

This substance later became known as vitamin D. Administration hospital, Washington, D. C. Mr.

TUSSEY Bar OK's SS On Approval Social security on a voluntary basis is favored by the Blair County Bar association, Attorney Chester B. Wray, vice president of the association, reported Sunday. Attorney Wray said that at a previous meeting of the Blair bar, he had been instructed as a delegate to the Pennsylvania Bar association to inform the Pennsylvania association that the Blair Bar association was in favor of social security. The social security question has been receiving considerable attention from lawyers throughout the nation ever since the senate last year, in revising the social security act, eliminated doctors and lawyers from proposed coverage, Mr. Wray said.

Mr. Wray has been serving as a committee of one for the Blair County Bar association on the social security issue. He reported that a committee of the National Bar Presidents' association within the American Bar is pollirig the entire United States, on the question, bar by bar. A Pennsylvania bar committee has been instructed to poll Pennsyl vania bar associations. Some lawyers favor an income deduction and annuity plan as an alternative to social security.

Others, particularly highly-paid metropolitan attorneys, oppose both social security and the annuity plan, Mr. Wray said. He reported Representative James E. Van Zandt recently sponsored a bill to amend the so cial security act and internal revenue code of 1954 so lawyers-may receive social security. If this bill is passed it will cover 1955 incomes.

Farm Product Prices Increase 2 Per Cent WASHINGTON UPt The Agriculture department recently reported a 2 per cent increase in farm product prices between mid-December and mid-January. But it said the price index was still about 9 per cent below the level prevailing when President Eisenhower took office two years ago. It was also about 6 per cent below the level of a year ago and about 22 per cent under the record peak reached in February, 1951, at the height of the fighting in Korea. Higher prices received for cattle, chickens, strawberries, lettuce and snap beans were primarily responsible for the January increase, the department The level of prices paid by farmers for goods and services used in family living and farm production went up nearly 1 per cent during the month ended Jan. 15, almost offsetting the increase in prices for agricultural products.

As a whole, farm prices averaged 86 per cent of parity, unchanged from, a month ago and still 7 per cent below the 1954 figure for the same period. Parity is a standard declared by law to give a fair purchasing power to farmers. 'Y Mothers Club In Meeting Recently Several committee reports were given at a meeting of the Mothers' club on Jan. 20.
