Webb, thirty-nine-yearold former Saginaw school teacher, resigned as Saginaw County safety director Thursday, the day he was to have assumed duties of the newly created post. Webb said he was assured when he accepted the appointment a few weeks ago that politics would be brought to bear on the job but he had found that this SAGINAW, Feb. 1 Blaming was not the case.

Rule Leads 1 to Difficulty Webb's difficulties arise from a resolution adopted early in January by the Board of Supervisors which bars the County from giving employment to anyone "whose spouse is employed." Some one complained to the County Safety Committee, Webb said, because his wife Evelyn is a nurse for the Saginaw Tuberculosis Society, a private organization maintained by con- Webb tributions from the Community Chest as well as County funds. Webb said that his wife Was willing to give up her job but that he had decided, because of political circumstances, against accepting the County post, which pays $1,500 a year. Sheriff Heads Council The Safety Committee, headed Sheriff Huga Muehlenbeck, was not certain Thursday whether would select a safety director from the list of it, applicants now on hand or whether it would seek a new group to choose from. The safety-director post, the first to be created by a county unit in Michigan, has been created in an effort to reduce accident fatalities. One of every nine deaths in Saginaw County in the last 10 years have been accidental.

-Audiences at the Michigan State College Farmers' Week Program Thursday were given confident predictions as to the immediate future of agriculture, but the guesses concerning the more distant future were less definite. R. V. Gun, college economist, declared in an address that improved industrial conditions in 1940 were expected, with resulting increases in consumer purchasing power. Gunn predicted that farm income and price levels would be slightly.

to higher the in 1937 1940, marks. although Looking further ahead, Dr. E. C. Young, of Purdue University, decried pessimism in agricultural circles but conceded that there were no certain solutions to farming ills.

Agricultural pessimism, Dr. Young said, was caused by population decline, the growth of synthetic foods, and the "disappearance" of the foreign markets. He criticized the "defeatism" of the Federal AAA programs. In a discussion of the State milk-marketing law, by members of the milk marketing board, Mrs. C.

L. Barber, of Lansing, the consumer representative, declared that "cost is the least portant factor to the consumer in buying milk." Purity of the product, she said, is more important.
