Boy Swallows
Sulfa Tablets
Little Vernon Scott, age 2,
who lives at 3110 Doughton,
made a very noisy protest
Thursday when a doctor stuck
a long gadget down his throat
clear to his stomach.
Vernon couldn't understand
it. He was feeling all right. He
thought the doctor and a couple
of first aid men who had taken
him to the doctor's office were
plenty mean, and maybe blamed
his folks too for letting them
treat a guy that way.
Vernon was really feeling
okay. But the trouble was it
would only be a little while un
til he wouldn't care whether he
was feeling good or not, for he
would be very soundly asleep.
Vernon had found some tab
lets at his home. They looked
good enough to eat, so Vernon
took six of them. They were
sulfa tablets, said one of the first
aid men who were called by the
mother as soon as she saw what
Vernon had done. First aid rush
ed him to the doctor, who got
busy with a stomach pump.

Registration of Autos on
Staggered Monthly Basis
By JAMES D. OLSON
Registration of all passenger
trucks, not weighing in excess of 4.5U0 pounds, will oe on a
monthly 'staggered' basis beginning January 1, 1950, Secretary
of State Earl T. Newbry said Thursday.
Newbry said that during the
legislature, it will be necessary
for some automobile owners to
purchase license plates for six
months, some seven months and
so on up to 17 months, paying a
pro rata fee based on the num
ber of months.
When the transition period is
over at the end of May, 1951,
all automobile licenses again
will be issued on a straight 12
months basis with l-12th of all
vehicle licenses expiring each
month.
The plan for the license plates
is very similar to a 'staggered
plan for drivers' licenses inaug
urated about two years ago.
However the expiration of the
drivers' license is predicated up
on birthday month of the holder
while the fee and time of ex
piration of the license plate is
based on the 1949 license num.
ber.
The 1949 legislature also in
creased the automobile license
fee from $5 to $10 in order to
obtain increased funds for high
way construction and mainten
ance.
However, few automobile own
ers will pay exactly $10 for the
1950 licenses. Some will pay as
low was $5.10 and the remainder
will pay varying sums up to
maximum of $14.45.
The $14.45 plate will not ex
pire, however, until May 31,
1951. The lesser fees, of course.
will provide plates expiring from
six months to 17 months.
Application for registration is
now being mailed to all auto
mobile owners, Newbry said,
with a statement showing the
expiration date and the amount
of the fee.
While the changeover from
the old system to the new sys
tem will doubtless cause some
confusion," Newbry said, "I am
confident that in the long run
the plan will prove vastly bene
ficial to the car owners of the
state."

Girls Will Be
Baby Sillers
Two organizations receiving
support from the Community
Chest, the Camp Fire Girls and
Girl Scouts, are going to aid
with this year's drive by serving
as baby sitters.
Girls of these groups have
volunteered to be on call the
opening day of the drive, Octo
ber 4, to baby-sit for those wo
men who are working as volun
teers on the drive.
Services of the "baby-sitters"
can be obtained by the volun
teer workers, captains and
leaders having children by rail
ing the central office of the
Community Chest at 42289 or
by visiting or writing the office
at 337 Court street in advance.
The baby-sitting service is to
operate between the hours of
4:30 and 9 p.m. with the girls to
be asked to keep the children
for only one hour at a time.
Girl Scouts have enlisted the
services of 28 of their group for
the program and Camp Fire
Girls will have 81 girls. Both
groups are qualified for their
volunteer project connected
with the Chest drive. Girl Scouts
of junior high and high school
age have had training in child
care and Camp Fire Girls of the
same age have had training as
homemakers.
Steel Plants
iContinued from Page 1
Neither the United States
Steel corporation, biggest pro
ducer and industry leader, nor
the CIO United Steelworkers
would comment on the Ford set
tlement as bargaining teams
gathered here for new contract
talks.
They are working against a
Friday midnight strike deadline.
Ford's willingness to pay for
10-cent hourly pension and in
surance package places a new
weapon in the union's hands.
The auto pact conforms to the
recommendations of the steel in
dustry fact finding board and
leaves steel companies standing
firm on their refusal to go along
on the recommendation that em
ployers bear all expenses.
U. S. Steel and other big pro
ducers want employes to share
in the costs. The union says that
all companies which don't
switch over will be struck at
12:01 a.m. Saturday.
Determined Philip Murray,
president of both the CIO and
the steelworkers, went ahead
with plans to flash the strike sig
nal to about 500,000 unionists
in the basic steel industry. Some
plants already have begun to
curtail operations in preparation
for a possible strike.
U. S. Steel said the first of its
27 blast furnaces in the Pitts-burgh-Youngstown,
Ohio, area
will be banked by midnight.
Those furnaces produce pig iron
lor use in making steel in open
hearth furnaces.
Jones and Laughlin Sleel cor
poration said it had not yet
scheduled any curtailments.
Murray gave no sign of giv
ing up his fight to force the
steel industry to pay the entire
cost of a pension-insurance pro
gram. Government mediators stood
by in Pittsburgh and 44 other
key negotiating points to help
avert the strike set for tomor
row midnight. The Pittsburgh
meeting was called for lO a.m.
(EST).
Busy Program for

Elder Raises Bid for
Timber Land to $165,000
County Judge Grant Murphy revealed Thursday that J. K. El
der, Portland lumberman, who several months ago had made an
offer of $135,000 to the county for timber on two sections of land
above Detroit, has now raised his ante offer to $165,000. Some
weeks ago he had upped the $135,000 offer to $150,000.
As the situation now stands,-
saiH th pniinlv luHffp F.lHer hnH '
said he was willing to go through
with his otter if notified any
time up to October 8. The Judge
said he will not make such not
ification.
The matter of sale of the tim
ber lies primarily with the state
forestry department, said the
judge, as this land has been
turned over to the state under
its development program. Any
timber sales made from it will
be on a basis of 25 per cent of
the returns to the state for ad
ministrative costs and 75 per
cent to the county.
Judge Murphy says it is his
understanding the forestry de
partment places a tentative val
uation of $200,000 on the timber.
A cruise made by Elder show
ed 24,000.000 feet of timber on
the property. A cruise made by
the state fixes the amount at
32.000.000 feet. Some of it is
hemlock, most of it fir.
On a basis of $6 a thousand,
which Judge Murphy says he
considers a low valuation, the
state cruise would show $192,
000 worth of timber while the
Elder cruise $144,000. Elder's
latest offer is over $6 a thousand
based on his cruise, but consid
