Our hero is not only the subicct of a comic strip 'but has some 50 or 12 books written about him, ranging from paper-back issues to some pretty fancily-bound volumes. If you can't get enough of the antics of the critters from Okeefen- okee swamp in the daily strip, you might try one of the books. They re probably available at a number of book stores hut a full library of them has been noted at Dell s book shop. Don't try to read 'em alt at once. You might get swamp fever.

Both cities had bees notified by CTL that it would go out of busi ness March 1 - unless something was done to give it financial re lief. After various plans were sug gested, either to let the business go into other hands or keep CTL under a different set-up, the plan of a flexible franchise was sug gested by the city of Salem and thrown out as as inducement for someone to make a proposal. City Transit itself made as offer under this plan, believing that, by having full control of fares and schedules and cutting down on overhead, it could operate with out further loss. Neither city has yet granted the flexible franchise, according to Carl Wendt, general manager of CTL, but both have gone far enough in that direction that it is assured. One point of relief wilt be that, instead of paying a fran chise fee of $50 per year per car, which it hasn't been able to pay for some time, the company wilt pay only a token fee of $1 per year per car. No changes in fares or sched ules have yet been made by CTL. It is understood that some upward revision of fares wilt be made. Wendt was not is Salem Friday, but the CTL office said no changes had yet been made.

The proposed scale would give high school football and bas ketball head coaches $840 in addi tion to basic salary. On the junior nign icvci, similar positions would command an additional $4WI. The increase in the alhletie de partment would be approximately $3,959. The presentation, which was ad visory, has yet to be adopted by the board. Figures Submitted Assistant Sunt. George B. Mar tin and Arthur V, Myers submitted tentative figures in connection with the needs of the secondary and elementary divisions in the matter of maintenance, repairs and equipment. Before final adop tion, the directors and the budget committee will make a tour of the buildings. i Plans for a six-room addition at Liberty school as presented by Architect James L, Payne were approved by the board. The cost will be around $Sft8. and plans for contractors will be ready with in t days. Because of the rapid growth in the area around Liberty, Schmidt said the school -would probably reach a size of 20 rooms in the not too distant future. Architect John Grimmer Groom submitted tentative sketches for four classrooms, a multi-purpose room, boiler room and office at Salem Heights. At both Liberty and Salem Heights, enlargements are made ditficsilt because of ground restrictions and existing structures.

'Lockout' Claimed D. W. Burroughs, Plumbers and Steamfitters local union 347, sec - retary, termed it- a "lockout," while representatives of the plumb ing contractors said not. The union was instructing all of its men on the job to continue at work until "locked out" and slated it was still willing to negotiate. Contractors were basing their stand on the third paragraph of a letter written February 23 by Burroughs stating "Therefore J would like to say to those of you who have not yet made your po sition clear that local 347 wishes statement from you regarding your position as our membership stated some weeks ago mat tiiey did not wish to continue to work after March I without an agree ment." The same letter had said that they were still willing So con tinue negotiations. Vera Collins, Salem, of the Wil lamette Valley Plumbing and Heat ing Contractors, Inc., said here Friday that his group had met Feb ruary 26, AS that time, nc expiamea, a let ter had been sent Burroughs say ing that because of a failure to arrive at satisfactory negotiations, the association was following the instructions set forth in the earlier letter.

He also pointed out the union never made package Seals. The union was tusking foe a Wr ing hail procedure under the ne gotiations and did not find this satisfactory. Other items besides wages and health and welfare in- eluded hiring of foremen, shop 1 stewards, and loaning s employes. Burroughs said there had been n objection to the grievance proced ure.

Through Thursday employes of tne county clerk s office were is suing licenses at the rate of one a minute. At closing time between 8,800 and 6,900 dogs had been li censed during the current season.
