Pickaway Ross Active In Education Week The week of February 12-18 has been designated as National Vocational Education week and the students at the Fickaway-Koss Joint Vocational Center will be celebrating this annual occasion with numerous activities.

Special programs will be conducted at the school by members of the vocational clubs. The purpose of the week celebration is to emphasize the increasing need to prepare individuals for the world of work and to inform the public of the availability of vocational training in their local school districts. Vocational education at the Pickaway-Koss Vocational Center prepares all types of citizens for employment within our conununity. It trains our youth with knowledge and skills; upgrades the skills of an employee whose job has become more Pay Raise Offered By State Unacceptable COLUMBUS, Ohio i AP) A $1 an hour increase for 55,000 state employees may be unreasonable, but a suggested 25 cents an hour increase would be unacceptable, a labor official said Friday. Mel Scott, area director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, referred at a news conference to an across- the board, 25-cents an hour boost proposed by leaders of the Democrat- controlled legislature.

Late last month, a spokesman for the Conununications Workers of America, which represents about 5,000 state workers, demanded a $l-an-hour hike and threatened a job action, apparently a walkout, if it is not granted by May 1. Scott, whose organization represents about 6,000 state employees, deplored what he called the ridiculous threat by Herschel Sigall of the CWA. He said while the federation also called for wages, we also condemn those who make ridiculous threats or unreasonable demands. To call for strikes or other job actions at this time does a terrible disservice to all state employees. a time when their heroic efforts through the recent blizzard should be applauded, they are the brunt of criticism because of the irrational remarks of a self-proclaimed union leader who is supposedly speaking on the complex and retrains a worker who has been displaced from his position due to technological innovations or physical impairments.

Mr. Kalph C. Neal, Director of Pickaway-Ross Vocational Center urges all citizens of the community to visit the school during the annual open house each year. You can learn a lot about career education by observing the existing vocational programs and talking with community employers who serve on school vocational advisory couunittees. The Vocational Center has an enrollment of 720 juniors and seniors from eleven participating school districts and students receive instruction in twenty-three job training programs.

Then the 14-year-old girl realized that it was not just a bad dream. Miss Ferguson said she stood terrified last Aug. 9 and watched as her grandmother, sister, aunt and cousin were killed in a savage stabbing attack. Her testimony was a key element in the case against her cousin, Harold Bicknell. 19, and two girls Tern Milligan, 14, and Karen Kirby, 15.

Each is in jail charged with four counts of murder, Bicknell is to go on trial Feb. 27, and the girls face trials in juvenile court next month.

After being told of the deaths two days after the attacks, Rayleen Ferguson said she was convinced that her only link to the killings was through a dream.

Municipal Court Judge Eugene Harrati, who presided at hearing, said: course, there are some bizarre questions concerning the testimony of Miss Ferguson. On the other hand, this whole case is Miss Ferguson testified that on the night of the attacks she was staying at Miss home, and that the two went to her house, where her sister, Renee, lived. They arrived at the house at about the same time as Bicknell and Miss Milligan. Bicknell and Renee, who was already at home, reportedly began to argue. Rayleen Ferguson said she did not know what the argument was about.

She said after the brief argument, Bicknell and Miss Milligan, brandishing knives, led Renee into a bedroom. There were screams for a minute and then silence, Miss Ferguson said. One by one, Miss Ferguson said, the others were forced into the kitchen and repeatedly stabbed. She said she looked into the kitchen twice. She said she was hit on the back of her head and knocked unconscious by someone she did not see.

She said when she awoke, she was in a bedroom at the Kirby home, and Miss Kirby was there. told her that I had a bad Miss Ferguson testified. said, don't want to hear about Miss Ferguson said that she first thought that what she remembered may not have been a dream after the three were arrested last fall.
