Illinois Valloy New» Page 6 Friday, August IS, 1952 nothing better to do during late even ing and early morning hours than to squeal tires and otherwise prove themselves a nuisance to a sleeping town. The present city curfew ordinance is virtually impossible to enforce, merely stating that juveniles under a certain age should not be on the streets “after hours.” The definition of “after hours” might easily be ques tioned in the event of an attempt at conviction under such a statute. Bleary-eyed citizens, suffering from a lack of shut-eye due to noisy cars on the streets “after hours”, re questing an end to such unwarranted nonsence have been difficult for city authorities to satisfy. In a ‘one-cop’ town games of hide-and-seek have proved a popular pastime and convic tions are difficult for just one police man to make. Until a curfew ordinance is event ually adopted, suggestions from Val ley parents, in and outside Cave Junc tion, will be welcomed in an attempt to draft a sensible, fair and enforce able act to regulate youthful vigor.

Editqr, Illinois Valley News: Much more volunteer help is needed on the 4-H dormitory build ing at the county fairgrounds if the building is to be used this year. Work remaining to be done con sists of about half the inside panel ing, most of the windows, digging tor the septic tank and drain ditches. Having the shower rooms com pleted would enable the youngsters to use the building this year. But before the shower rooms can be completed the hole for the sptic tank and the ditches must be dug and the inside paneling completed. August 9-10 and 16-17 were cal- led work days on this project. This weekend is our last chance to get the building ready for use this year. Help has not been as plenti ful as expected and the building is behind schedule. , If your 4-H boy or girl or FFA boy would find this 4-H building a help during fairtime, will you give a helping hand to finishing this project on August 16 or 17? You will need carpenter tools, shovels and maybe a pick. Bring a sack lunch. Hot and cold drinks will be furnished at the 1 11 food stand on these days. Fair opens August 19! Mrs. May Loghrcy 2006 W.

CRITICAL OF SALARY BOOST MILK PRICES BOOSTED When State Treasurer Walter J. Pearson returned to the Capital from a trip to the Democratic Na- :ional convention in Chicago, and other points where he visited, he expressed disapproval of the action if the state emergency board and Jovemor Douglas McKay in neg- ecting to approve a wage increase for state workers in the lower pay brackets. “I think it is most regrettable hat employees in the lower salary brackets should not receive pay in- reases,” Pearson said. “A $5 in crease would have meant more to employees in the lower brackets ¿han a $25 or $30 increase for higher paid employees.” Pearson said he would oppose any pay increase which does not include all employees, and particu larly those in the lower brackets.
