MOUNT CARMEL ITEM. MOUNT CARMEL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1942 PAGE SEVEN. Four Teachers Are Dismissed At Kulpmont On the basis of seniority rights, four Kulpmont teachers today had been suspended in accordance with 8 recommendation by the Department of Public Instruction that the school district's staff of professional employes be reduced to 35, The four dropped were Mrs. Mary McCabe, Mrs. Rose Ferrari and Mrs.

Anna Bressler, of Kulpmont, and Mrs. Agnes Pinamonti Casari, of Mount Carmel. This action was taken by Kulpmont School Board 1 last night during a regular meeting that had been postponed from August 4 because of a lack of quorum at that time. Directors present last night were Kutchen, Barrett, Filipowicz and Nestico. Those absent were Wargo, Wydra and Valentine.

Another reason cited for the dismissals was that enrollment in the elementary grades had decreased from 530 during the 1940-41 term to 426 during the last term. The board, pointing out that it had no other alternative, rejected all applications for jobs as sweepers because the Department of Public Instruction eliminated that Item of expenditure from the budget and would not otherwise approve the budget. Because of the participation of Kulpmont teachers in the annual county institute to be held at Sunbury on September 8, the board set Beptember 9 as the opening date for the 1942-43 school term. The solicitor was instructed to contact the bonding company in regards to settlement of the 1941 tax duplicate. 6,000 Women Apply For Waac Enlistment WASHINGTON, Aug.

14. (U.P.) More than 6,000 have formally applied for enlistment in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, and recruiting stations throughout the country have mailed out approximately 18,000 additional application blanks, WAAC national headquarters announced today. Because facilities at Fort Des Moines, training headquarters for the WAACS were inadequate to take care of this number, the local recruiting offices sorted out applications and called 851 women for interviews. Of this number, 273 were accepted for enlistment. Less than half this number-128 will be sent to Fort Des Moines to train as auxiliaries (WAAC privates) on Aug.

17, and about the same number will report each Monday morning to the basic training school. Farm Production Peak In Sight WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.. (U.P) Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard believes the United States may reach its farm production peak this year, with record yields of almost every crop.

"This may be the largest production for a long time to' come," he said. "There are certain limits to production so far as they can be influenced by man." Wickard said that farmers may not be able to grow so much during the rest of the war because of serious shortages of manpower and machinery. The unusually favorable weather conditions during 1942 may not be repeated, he said. "From now on we need to utilize every acre, every hour of labor to the best advantage of ourselves and our Allies," he said. The August crop report showed that "farmers are winning their battle on the food-for-victory front," Wickard said.

Supplies of pork, beef and mutton are great enough, he added, to provide each person with 135 pounds of meat through June of next year, even after Army and Lend-Lease needs are met. The meat shortage in some eastern cities, he said, was the result of a tangle in distribution, since cattle and hog marketing during June and July was at a record peak. Mrs. Agnes Mazur Byuskey, 68, 135 south Locust street, died last night at 6:45 o'clock from a stroke. Friday night she suffered a stroke, which paralyzed the right side of her body.

Agnes "Bononis" Byuskey was born in Lithuania. She came to America about 42 years ago, settling first in Shamokin. She next resided in Brady and in 1902 came to Mount Carmel, where she resided ever since. Surviving are four sons, Joseph Mazur, Albert Mazur and Anthony Mazur, and Charles Byuskey, of Mount Carmel, and ten grand children. The funeral will be held Monday morning.

Services will be held at the home at 8:30 and further services will be conducted in Holy Cross Church at 9:00 o'clock and burial will be made in the parish cemetery.

Michael P. O'Brien, Locust Gap. SHREVEPORT, Aug. 14. (U.P.) -Barksdale Field authorities today investigated the crash of a B-26 twin-motored medium bomber which killed four men.

Witnesses said the plane, on a routine training flight, apparently was in trouble before it crashed and burned 13 miles northwest of here yesterday. The dead included Corp. Harry C. McCarthy, 23, Cross Creek, and Pvt. Charles E.

Bowen, U. S. announced today that he has taken possesion of the General Cable Corporation plant, closed by a three-day strike, and that it will reopen at 4 p. m. Naval seizure of the plant was ordered by President Roosevelt after strikers had refused to accept a War Labor Board ruling that they were not entitled to a 10-cents hourly wage increase.

"I have taken over possession of the plant in accordance with the President's proclamation," Rear Admiral Bowen sald, "and the plant will reopen at 4 p. m. today for the regular second shift." Thereafter, he said, normal operations will continue. A notice announcing that the Navy had taken over was posted throughout the plant and included the warning: "Any interference with the operation of this plant is an offense against the United States." While the Navy was in charge of the plant, soldiers were assigned to guard it and Army officers assisted Admiral Bowen in an inspection of the area.

Poise Preservers Perma lilt 8. Pat No. BRASSIERES by HICKORY "THE LIFT THAT NEVER LETS YOU DOWN' First Draftee Shortage In 1-A Class (Contin 'ed from Page One) source explained, was an "honest and human" reluctance on part of many boards to reclassify men with dependents until the Selectee dependency allotment act becomes effective Nov. 1, retroactive to June 1. The House passed a bill yesterday to authorize immediate payments.

Under that measure, dependents of men called into service will receive an allocation from the Federal government in addition to a part of the soldier's salary. Board members were said to feel that immediate classification would work a hardship on many persons dependent on breadwinners whose induction appears imminent. The number of Pennsylvanians registered for military service since the first of the five registrations Oct. 16, 1940 and the reservoir of untapped manpower are military secrets, but it was understood that induction of 1-B's, men with minor physical defects, and reclassified 3-A's would step up the manpower tempo and eliminate the current lag in: few weeks. Evans' disclosure confirmed doubts expressed by a number of draft boards over ability to fill September's 1-A quotas.

He ascribed the 1-A Selectee shortage to heavy enlistments; increasing numbers of men applying for, and receiving commissions in all branches of the armed forces, and general classification processing, particularly of those in dependency categories and in war-vital jobs for which deferments were requested by National Draft Headquarters. Recent Congressional changes in legislation covering dependency deferments created gaps in draft board eligibility lists, it was explained. At present, males married when their selection was not imminent cannot be called upeven though their wives are selfsupporting--until every available single man is drafted in a given conscription district. Such deferments, of a temporary nature in view of dwindling 1-A lists, are granted only on proof of a bona fide family relationship between husband and wife. Previously married men could have been classified as 1-A's, regardless of when they were married, provided their wives were employed.

Many draft boards have been confronted with the problem of enlistments of 3-A registrants reclassified as 1-A. That practice deprives boards of credits against 1-A quotas for at least a month, it was said. Helping to fill quotas henceforth will be registrants previously rejected for military service on grounds of iliteracy. Under new draft regulations they may be called up for reclassification and possible induction. Evans has advised local boards that known illiterates are eligible for 1-A classification.

Those so classified, however, may not exceed 1 more than 10 per cent of a board's total quota. One of several recent developments that have served to renew interest in gliders both from the tary standpoint as well as in connection with possible use for cargo purposes was the test made at Wright Field where a glider was picked up by a plane. In this experiment, one of the airmail pick- up planes was used. When your windshield wiper becomes too tight and refuses to work it may be that it is too rigidly attached to the wiper arm.

For almost a year, girls have been pushing carts of bottled milk through the plant at regular intervals. Workers drank it without slowting their machines. Lately, however, some of the workers have been noticing the attractions of the girls, whistling at them and trying to make dates.

Some complained, and the men were warned that the milk would be stopped unless they left the girls alone. Complaints became more frequent. Yesterday, there was no milk. A hundred men struck until they got their milk. After 15 minutes the milk was rushed in and the men went back to work, but they made no promises.

Former Local Woman Dies In Irish Valley ONE OF THE MOST MATIC scenes from "Mrs. Miniver," Metro- -Goldwyn -Mayer picture starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon takes place in the family air raid shelter. With Nazi bombs falling all around their home, the Minivers carry on bravely and calmly. They know that, despite the terrific bombardment they are withstanding, the time will come when they, the English, will wrest the initiative from the enemy and will emerge victorious. This timely and human story of a family facing the terrors of modern war, was adapted from the popular Jan Struther's novel, "Mrs.

Announce Method Of Boosting Gas Mileage Aug. 13. -Sun Oil research engineers told Company motorists today how it will be possible to obtain "33 per cent" more mileage on gasoline. A plan, worked out by the engineers after several months study representative cars, would involve of only a day's labor by a mechanic and several dollars out of the motorists' pocketbooks.

The method is to remove valve lifters, blocking off every other cylinder, tie up the spark plugs not in use and make several simple adjustments on the carburetor so as to reduce the flow of gasoline. Speedsters may be dissatisfied with the changes, the engineers said, because the pickup would be reduced, but as Joseph N. Pew, president of Sun Oil, expiained, "These days the automobile should be looked on as a means of transportation and not as a toy." The changes, the Sun experts said, would not injure the automobile in any way, although there would be a little more vibration necessitating more frequent shifting of gears. They advised motorists who have the changes made to drive at about 35- miles per hour. Cars tested, they said, had been driven between 60 and 65 miles an hour without injury.

Production in speed would result nsaving on lubricating oil, they be lieved, and the cooling system would not be affected. The plan originally was announced 1 in newspaper advertisements on Aug. 11. "We offer not a completed picture, but a start in something that every motorist should be willing to agree to," Pew said. CARRY OWN BUNDLES.
