LAugh-In continues in Meigs Local School District. The latest episode in this on-going comedy of errors is the failure to pay teachers for work done . No matter who is responsible superintendent, clerk, or board members - the fact is that a regularly scheduled pay day for teachers came and went Friday, and no official explanation of any kind was given as to why there were no checks . Neither have teachers been told when - or how much - or lf - they will be paid. They are simply expected to continue working without pay in good faith until the powersthat-be decide to prepare and distribute checks to the peons. How's that for an attitude of respect and-(lr cooperation' A simple statement of the procedure or policy the superintendent - clerk · board intended to follow would have been simple , human courtesy . Instead, teachers were unable to discover what method would be used to compute paychecks.

EXTENDED FORECAST WedDNuY lbrol&b Frida)', • WASHINGTON I API Congressional leaden; are telling the White House that chances of enacting a suggested Slkent-agallon gasoline tax range from slim to nonexistent . Top adminlru'ation economic olficials, in a closed-door meeting Monday with House Speaker Thomas P . O'Neill , reportedly li.!ted the w as one of the options the president has under serious consideration as he prepares his 19111 agenda, sources said. Administration economic officials see the tax as a way of forcing conservation of gasoline by making the fuel much more expensive at the pwnp. WASHINGTON (AP l The nation's economy demonstrated further resilience in November, further confounding predictions of a downtum. Total sales at the nation's retail sto""' rose 1.8 percent to rn billion in November, wiping out the 1. 7 per· cent drop in the previous month, the C<>mmerce Department said Monday. The data on retail sales - an important component of the economy - came on the heels of a Labor Department report showing that the nation's unemployment rate fell from October 's 6 percent to 5.8 percent last month. "You certainly don't get a picture of an economy that is folding up around us," said William Cox, a senior Commerce Department economist. "It seems as though this business expansion has nine lives, and I am not sure which one we are on." The nation's output fell sharply in the period from April through June , leading many economis'-'< in and out of government to conclude that a recession had begun. Then the econ<my rebounded strongly from July through September. Despite the latest good news, many analysts still predict the economy will show little or no growth in the fourth quarter and that output will continue to weaken mto 1900. ·'There are some signs of strength, Southern board buys 2 buses The Southern Board of Education meeting Monday night agreed to purchase two new school buses which are expected to be ready for use during the 1~1 school year . The two International buses were purchased from the John Gibson Motor City, Athens, and the bodies from Edwin H. Davis and Son, langsville. The board approved the speech class visiting Rio Grande College and renewed the distnct 's contract with OVAL foc bookmobile service to the schools. DPPF funds were used for this contract renewal . The board discussed the need foc a football coach-English teacher employe and is taking awlications, hopefully, for ooe person to fill the 1)00. The organizatiooal sess1on was set • but I don't want to try to call the (fourth) quarter at this stage," Cox said. One sign of weakness showed up in government figures Monday on the sales of new one-family houses, which fell 1.8 percent in October to an annual rate of724,000 units. The latest figure was nearly 20 percent below the 900,00().unit rate ri. October 1978, the report said. The falloff in home sales had been expected in the wake of Federal Reserve action Oct. 6 to tighten credit. The central bank's move has pushed mortgage tnterest rates to record levels around the nation, discouraging home purchases. The Commerce Department report also showed that the median sale price of homes sold in October was $61,900, down 7 percent from September. "The last time we had a drop of that magnitude was from May to June in 1970," said Dale R. Jacobson, a C<mmerce Deparbnent analyst. Price declines often occur during tight -money or recessionary periods, such as happened in 1970, because people are forced to lower the asking price of their homes to attract buyers. But Jacobson and Jack Carlson, economist for the National Association of Realtors, warned against reading too much into a single month's ststistics. Carlson said the figures probably • for 7 p.m . on Jan . 2 with a special meeting at 7:30p.m. to approve temporary appropriations .

He added that the Realtors expect the median sales price of previously occupied homes to increase this year more than last year 's record 13 .5 percent. Dexter man Also during the meeting Gra re presented Willis Anthony, chainnan ol the town's board of public affairs, with records showing that the town has $107,4'll.ll to be used foc the construction of a new water storage tank. While that amount would not build the tank it will provide a good start. Council took special action to establish a special water storage tank fund Grate said this money had been accumulated over the years through a plan suggested by the late John Zerkle, who was mayor. Though the plan money not needed to make the payment on the village owned water system was set aside to accumulate the over one hundred thousand dollars for the tank . Grate made the presentation on behalf of the late Mayor Zerkle. Grate was again conunended for the measure which provided for the accumulation of funds. On behalf of the village olfictals, Councilman Dewey Horton presented Grate with a gift and spoke highly of Grate's dedication to the interesUl of the town and the people over the years.

Receiving praise of the railway and personnel on the train was Carroll Tyler who disc overed a broken rail in the track near his home. The break was such that undoubtedly would have caused the 91 car train to derail. A variety load including lumber, chemicals and other articles was being carried on the train and there were a number of empty coal cars. Livmg close to the tracks, Tyler was knowledgeable enough to know that a train would be coming through Sunday afternoon and the direction from which it would travel. He stood for about three hours waiting for the train . The train engineer stopped at Tyler's violent red cloth flagging. A couple of years ago, Tyler 's home burned down and residents chipped in not only financially, but physically to rebuild him a one-room house in the Dexter area . Tyler, not having a phone, could not telephone any warning about the broken track and could not leave to use a telephone at a distsnce away for fear that the train would c<me in his absence .

This doesn' necessarily mean most of the 13 major-party can didates will drop out after the first caucus, but already some campaign staffs are falling apart because of diaorganiultion, resignations, lack of money or loss of steam. Surprisingly, some of the trouble is cropping up in the camps of candidates who were considered leading contenders when the field began forrning earlier in the year. Fonner Texas Gov John Connally, the leading money-raiser in the Republican race, has hired a new efficiency expert to prune the fat from his operation . Already 20 of the 160staffers at his Arlington, Va ., headquarters have been fired and more are expected to go . And Senate Minority Leader ; - Howard H. Baker Jr. of Tennessee ~ : disclosed last week that he is trim; : ming his campaign effort to con~: centrale on eight states with early :. · prunanes. !· Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas, who was • vice presidential nominee on the , 1976 Republican ticket, is in the mid: st of reorganizing his campaign in \ New Hampshire. the first primary 1 state , after wholesale resignations last week . Starting early became the established wisdom after George McGovern grabbed the Democratic • i nomination that way in 1972 and Jinuny Carter won the nomination and the election with an even earlier start four years later . This season's first entry was Republican Phil Crane, who broke even those records with a mid-1978 announcement for 1980. Crane was raising money and lining up field workers when others were just thinking about it . But the strategy went sour when Crane's campaign began to come apart last sprmg with mass resignations in the top ranks of his organization. It also was learned that his spectacular fund-raising had a kink . The expensive dired-rnail technique he was using had run him almost $1 million in debt . Today, Crane is still trying to get his campaign back on track, but his poor showmg m early straw votes and continued low rating in the polls indicate the difficulty . His last financial report listed a $793,041 debt . Ronald Reagan has been the front running Republican ever since he ahnost beat a s11ting president for the 1976 nomination. He did all the requisite groundwork for the 191ll race, announced later and is actually expanding his organiullion while others are cutting back. All any of this proves is that there is no easy fonnula in presidential politics . Starting early or late, fast or slow, known or unknown , each campaign has 1ls own rules and its own trends.

The panel won' meet to begin working out differences until the Legislature l'eCI>nvenes next month .

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Harry Meshel, D-Youngstown, who also sits on the controlling board, says the provision will give the state more direct control over how such funds are spent. The amount of money provided for such items is significant. At Ohio State Univer.;ity, for example, the Senate version of the bill includes $42 .5 million for rune capital inoprovement projects . But it also calls for spending almost $7.5 million for movable equipment and contingency items. The approval of state controllers would also be required before money for specific capital projects could be spent. An OK from the diredor of the 01£ice of Budget and Management is all that 's needed at present. And when schools ask the controlling board to release the capital funds, they would have to provide a financial plan for completmg the project. Also required would be information on operating expenses that would result from erecting the new building . The state's colleges and universities aren l the only agencies which would come under closer scrutiny . The Expositions Conunission , which stages the Ohio State Fair. would be required to obtain controlling board approval for contracts of the entertainers who appear . Meshel was quick to point out that the provision does not give the board approval for the contracts of individual stars, but for a total budget amount covering all entertainers . Another restridion added by the Senate deals with the millions of dollars included for medical facilities in the bill . It prohibits spending any money for such items unless a certificate of need has been issued by health service agencie5. Such a provision "!Ould help prevent a duplication of services, Meshel said .

Crawford Melg• Coonty Humane Society Titis past week we had an incident that I must tell you about, not to disgust you as it did me, but to, perhaps, advise someone who might run into the same situation to do ''better." We got a call saying a stray dog was having her puppies right out near a main highway. We left inunediately for the area of the old Hobson Bridge and after looking for a while saw nothing then a young boy came along and pointed out the area where we found six dead puppies. Now here is what we figured happened - some information by past experience, the remainder is fact . Some "poor excuse for a pet owner" dropped his or her dog because she was going to have her pups any time and didn't want to assume responsibility for them. The poor lady dog did what most "dropped" animals do- and just sat and wailed for her master to pick her up again . They didn't return- it kept getting colder and colder but also the time for her to have her family drew nearer and nearer . Still no one came back to take care of her - a~d by then the puppies wanted to come into this cold cruel world, and they did. About that time neighborhood children came to the same area to catch a school bus, saw the puppies and instead of being concerned about the whole family, concerned themselves only with the puppies and took them home. Upon discovering that they had brought puppies into her basement, a woman who was a mother hersell, sent her child with these defenseless, new born pups to "take them back where they found them." Naturally the mother dog had gone - desperately looking for her pups.- so when the tiny six were laid back on the cold ground they didn't last long ! the temperature was below 30 at the lime). I picked up each poor little black and white body (Beagle type) and brought them home where I wrapped them in a towel and at least they were buried with some dignity. I'm pretty perturbed with several people - as I know you are as you read this column. First of aU, the person who cast this poor dog aside when they were needed the most . Secondly, all the people who probably passed that poor animal silting there by the side of the road and did nothing about it, and next, the kids and the woman who could have saved the lives of the babies by bringing in the mother with them and calling us . If we had not been able to place the mro~ with her puppies in some good and carmg home, we'd have had all "hwnanely" put to sleep . They would not have suffered the way those pups did and who knows what misery that mother dog is going through right now' No one has rep<rted one like it to us . Maybe it ended up being thrown into the pound . Nice end to a new momma, Thank goodness, most people who find strays in trouble call us and then volunteer to care for them until I'M MAKING A RU8eiNG . IT WOULD MAKE AGCOD f(oC k' Y IN WA§HJN6To/'l , A MOB OF AN0RY LOBBYI~T§ HA~ huh' - §TuN ·71 some disposition can be made on them. Our batting average has been really good at placing dogs and cats. Some people merely call us and describe what they have and do the advertising and placing themselves- others leave descriptions with us and before they can even pick up the phone to help themselves we have people on their way to see the animal. Then of course there are those who will do absolutely nothing to help the animal and that is where we really have to move fast or the animal's very life is put into danger. Thank God, there aren 't many people like this- just enough to keep our blood boiling. I've probably never mentioned enough the great people who assist us with this never-ending problem of what to do with the animals that we must physically care for. We have several people who wW take an animal for us and until the day comes when we have our own land and a permanent shelter we really depend on these great humanitarians. I can 'I mention names and exact locations because there are so many irresponsible people who would grab their own poor dog and drop it on these people but I would like to teU you a tittle about them. We have a woman near Rutland who has had up to eight animals for us, another near Middleport who lends us her fenced in yard and outbuilding when we get overloaded; these two are really wonderful God~nl women . Then we have two men who have · offered to help if we are in need one in Antiquity and the other near Long Bottom. Then we have a business woman near Pomeroy whom EVERYONE loves and who helps us very, very often in many ways . Then, of course, we have the few who volunteer to make emergency runs for us and that is a most Important chore. We try not to take advantage of any of these wonderful people -so talk long and hard sometimes to make others help themselves and m doing so, help us. And, folks, have you been to our Thrift Shoppe in Middleport lately' If not, do drop by any Thursday, Friday or Saturday . The ladies who work there have been doing great, much to all of our delight, and this would be an ideal time to thank those of you who contributed to and pu~sed from our shoppe during the bazaar this past weekend . Your support was appreciated . You know, for an organization that receives the accolades that ours does -we are still in need of more financliT"liupport because of the expense involved in boarding animals paying the 1 astronomical vet bills, and reimbursement to those making the 30 to 35 emergency runs each month . Anyone interested in making a donation please send your check to P .O. Box 682, Pomeroy, or stop by our shoppe in Middleport. Your help is a necessity . And now for the animals that we have available for adoption this week : How would someone like a brand new monuna and her babies, a year old Chihuahua and her five tiny week-<>ld puppies (we will help you place them when they have been weaned), or a Benji type, real cute blonde curly haired male probably not a year old yet. Then, too, we have several Border Collies, male and female, black and white. all quite young , a Coonhound , Walker type, male. also young, and a Boxer, female, just a pup, and a St. Bernard type male for those of you who like them big . That's it in dogs- but we have some cats and kittens too. If you want an adult cat, we have a black and white beauty and if it 's a kitten you prefer, we have two black and whites, a maie Tabby , a black one, a Tabby with white and ALL d these animals need a good home.

Or maybe, he really did have a cold and a sore throat. The mystery began two weeks ago when House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr . dropped out of sight. The explanation was lha t he had a cold and a sore throat . Then last weekend, there sat O'Neill at ringside in Las Vegas, Nev., his bulk and mass of white hair unmistakable on national television . He looked happy and healthy and seemed to be enjoying the fight. " He had a sore throat and hay fever, but he got better ," said Gary Hymel, an O'Neill aide. "He's a real fight fan ." +++ Rep. Robert E. Bawnan, R-Md ., knows the rules of the House, but the Democrats wish he didn't. They also wish he'd find some other ways to occupy his time. Bauman rarely is missing from the House floor during sessions and he devotes most of his time to throwing parliamentary monkey wrenches into the plans of the Democratic majority. For example, he managed to delay consideration of one measure recently by objecting to the fact the printer had failed to put certain portions of the text in italics. The leadership grudgingly admitted he was right and sent the measure back to the print shop. On another occasion, Rep. Thomas Foley, D-Wash., chairman of the Democratic Caucus, was making a series of motions on behalf of the leadership. Each time Foley would make a motion, Bawnan would rise and say, "I object." Once, twice, three limes, Foley tried. Each time Bauman objected . The Washington Democratic tried again. Silence. A puzzled look on his face, Foley turned to Bauman. · 'Surprise ! · · shouted Ba wnan . +++ The subject was air pollution and the air was thoroughly polluted by cigar smoke . The Senate Judiciary Committee was considering a bill that would set stiffer penalties for violations of clean water laws than for violations of air pollution statutes. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, DMass., puffing on a long cigar, supported the proposal. Sen. John Culver, D-lowa, smoking an equally long cigar, opposed the bill. Sen. Howell Heflin, D-Ala., sat back in his chair, smoke rising from his cigar. Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, R-Utah, a non-smoker, glanced at Heflin and said, " I wish Kennedy would lend you and Culver some of his expensive cigars. " Deeper recession reported possible ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - The U.S. economy is following the pattern of a typical business recession and the probability of a deeper recession is rising, according to a University of Michigan economist. Ross Wilhehn of Michigan's graduate business school said people who argue that the present recession will be mild are incorrectly assuming that capital goods investment and business spending will continue at present levels. Wilhelm contends that business investment and production show signs of weakening and could pull the nation into a deeper recession. The " unprecedented" consumer demand that helped end the 1975 recession seems to be mWing this year, with retail sales down between 12 and 14 percent, said Wilhelm. He said the decline in retail sales has been spread across all categories of consumer purchasing and cannot be attributed solely to gasoline shortages, high gasoline prices or a reduction in the sale of big cars . "Consumers are very pessimistic and are retrenching," Wilhehn said . Business mirror NEW YORK (AP) - In the year 's final days the economic assessment of the General Motors chairman 1s awaited by those who seek reassurance about the months ahead. They are seldom disappointed; he rarely fails them. Once again Thomas A. Murphy sees the sunshine behind the shadowmg clouds, the vision of big sales and economic success in spite of oil, Iran, and inflation. Despite the "continuing poblems of inlation and some current s1gns of sluggishness," says Murphy the OJ>timist, "the United States ' economy remains fundamentaly strong.·' Barring more "adverse developments in the Middle East, and assuming continued responsible price action by the OPEC countries," he slates, car sales should " stabilize and strengthen as the year progresses. " Murphy, and his predecessors , a ccentuate the positive. Over and over 31tain. +While the automtive year might not begin strongly "deliveries for the year as a whole cold approximate the 1979 total, with the selling rate in the latter part of the year at substantially higher levels." +An advance in electric battery technology, aru10unced last September, "IS only one of the developments that hold promise for the future in our efforts to Improve the utilization of petroleum resources." +A drop in housing starts will to some extent ·'be cushioned by recent innovations that have made it easier for savings institutions to compete for funds in periods of high interest rates." Why does GM so consistently stress the positive' Interpreted cynically, some claino GM can take no other approach to an economy in which its view plays so big a role. It must be upbeat, they say, or see sales suffer . Why, then, is so much attention focused on GM's forecasts? For several reasons, among them : I . Some of those optimistic assessments have been rather accurate in recent years. 2. GM puts its money on the line. a practice that inopresses hardnosed investors. This year its worldwide capital expenditures will total $5.3 billion, "and well over IIi billion annually in the early 1980s." Murphy concludes GM 's forecast for 1980 with the acknowledgement that "more than the usual amount of risk is associated with the outlook, given the uncertainties surrounding energy availability and price." Conditions in the Middle East, particularly in Iran, "must moderate before the full potential d the U.S. econro~y can be realized," Murphy concedes. "However," he says in the fashion of GM yearend statements, " based on the currently discernible economic factors in the outlook for 191ll, there is reason for cautious optimism " Washington briefs ...

Rio R edmen edge Pikeville, 80-78, for second straight overtime win Today's By Will Grimsley The United States defends the Davis Cup, symbol of world tennis 8Upl'elll8ey, this weekend in San Francisco, and chances are most of the country's red-blooded sparta fans will greet the occasion with a king-6ized yaWn. After all, the event conflicts with the first explosions of the college football bowl madness. The National Football League will be filling final holes in ita playoff structure . Pro basketball and hockey will be in full fury, and dnuns will be sounding for the approaching Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, N.Y. A tennllJ match? Forget it. What a pity . The Davis Cup iB one of the world's oldest and most cherished sporta traditions - born 79 years ago, the brainchild of a 21-year-old Harvard graduate named Dwigli Filley Davis, and a trophy contested yearly from the top of the world to the bot- tom . Even when tennis was considered a pantywaist, snobbish sport, there was high excitement when the Yanks and Aussies crossed the Pacific to fight it out with 60-pound gut, when France's "Four Musketeers" finally subdued an aging Bill Tilden and Co., and flawless Fred Perry led a brief resurgence by the British. Davis Cup prestige plummeted when tennllJ went open in 1968. Many pros scorned the appeals of their countries, preferring to use their time in grubbing for tennis gold on the prosperous tour . The old silver bowlloetmuch of ita lustre. Now the pros get paid and they play. Normally every nation again can count on ita very best talent - Bjorn Borg for Sweden, Guillermo '()iJBs for Argentina, John McEnroe for the United States. The United States' Davis Cup fortunes reached a low ebb, starting in 1973. For five years it didn't win, aeeing the trophy go to such previously obsccure contenders as Sweden, Italy and South Africa as well as twice to perennial rival Australia. The reason was simple . Uncle Sam's best player of the period, temperamental Jimmy Connors, refused to play. Davis Cup officials repeatedly Implored him. Jimmy, harboring an old hurt, refused. Fortunately, the kid who has inherited CoMOrs' sneakers, the 20year-old McEnroe, has no such hangups. When the flag was waved before John's eyes, he grabbed his tighUy-6trung weapon . Playing Great Britair in the final last year at Rancho Mirage, Calif., McEnroe polished off John Uoyd and Buster Mottram with the loss of only 10 games in six sets. The Cup came home for the ~th time . No one ever before was so dominating not Tilden, not Kramer, not Budge, not Gonzales . Now young McEnroe is back for an encore, teaming with Vltas Gerulaitis and the veteran doubles tandem of Stan Smith and Bob Lutz against Italy's flashy Corrado Barazzutti and Adriano Panatta. But much of the old grandeur is gone. You can blame that on spoiled players and the tennis brass. The Davis Cup Final should be the sport's Super Bowl, played in late summer at a tennis citadel with all the fanfare of a world championship .

Investment explained ' 'We call it investment, " says Rita White, the investment leader for the P<m>eroy Seventh-day Adventist church, "becaUBe that's what it really is." The members decide on a project they think can make money for the church. They then invest IKJ(Ile money of their own and add a little manpower to make their project grow," explains Mrs. White . ''Whether it's selling garden produce, saving pennies or washing cars, each project becomes a matter of private prayer ." After having done this, these projects more or less become God's responsibility, so to speak. Each "investor" has been working c;o hill project all year, and turned in his fwlds on the Sabbath, Nov . 24 . When January comes around, the members will pick out new projects for 19110.

OECLMBE.R 12. 1979 Action taken for employes' pay day prior to Christmas BY BOB HOEF'LICH Meeting in emergency session Tuesday night, the Meigs Local School District Board of Education took action to provide to pay days for teachers and non-<'ertilied employes before Christmas . Payment of employes, who would have normally been paid la.•t Friday, has been a highly complicated and controversial issue in the district following an almost 10 week teachers strike. According to the resolution adoJ>ted last night, the Meigs Local Board of Education directs the clerk to pay certified employes in 20 ~ual installments, · the first two installments being before Christmas, one as soon as possible and the second ooe on Dec. 21. The resolution provides that non certified employes be paid sinlllarly in two payments before Christmas , one pay for seven days and one for five days or as close as possible to that schedule as can be worked out. The board also directed Supt. David Gleason to obtain signatures Carter administration will appeal judge's ruling CHICAGO (AP) - President Carter has moved ahead of Sen. Edward KeMedy as the Democratic voters' choice nationally for the I 9811 presidential nomination, the latest Gallup Poll reports . The survey, completed Dec. 9, shows a dramatic jump in Carter's popularity as he became the choice of 411 percent of the Democrats, compared to Kennedy's 40percent. In mid-October Kennedy led Carter by a z-1 ratio, and in the Nov. 1619 poll, KeMedY led by a margin of 5:> percent to 38 percent . The president's increasing strength among the voters is due, at least in part, to Americans' support for his actions in the hostage crisis in Iran, and a renewed faith in his ability to lead the country, poll officials said. Seventy-five percent of those surveyed approved of the president's handling of the Iran situation. The poll, published in the today 's editions of the Chicago Sun-Times, also cites Kennedy's criticisms cl the deposted Shah of Iran as a factor helping Carter. The president's standing also has improved among independents, and he now holds a 25ilercent lead over KeMedy in that group. The previous poll showed Kennedy with a 50-37 percent lead over Carter among ln· dependents, but Carter now leads 56 percent to 31 percent. The dramatic change rA Carter's fortunes in the poll is the largest increase in a president's popularity in the last 40 years, except those following Pearl Harbor and the signing of the Vietnamese peace treaty, poll officials said. Poll results are based on in-person interviews with 1,303 persons ag~ IB and older in selected localities throughout the country during Dec. 7-9. The nomination results are based on interviews with 530 Democrats and 423 independents . A telphone poll rA &25 adults taken Dec . 5~ by Gallup reaffirmed Carter's renewed strength, with 61 percent of the respondents approving of the way he is handling his responsi bill ties.

Grate, a son of the late Mr . and Mrs. J . H. Grate of Middleport, began his employment with the local bank on June 15, 1941. He was named assistant cashier alter a few years and on Jan. 10, 1957, was named assistant vice president; a position which he sbll holds.-Prior to entering the field of banking, Grate had served as secretary to the Middleport superiintendent of schools from 1933 to 1937 when he left the school system to help operate dairy shops owned by his father . He returned to his secretaMal post at the schools in 1939 and remained there until he accepted employment with the Citizens National Bank in 1941. Actually, December is a month of "retirements" for Grate who has served over 30 years as village clerk in Middleport . He did not seek reelection this year. Monday night marked his final meeting . However, he does expect to lend some technical advice and help to the village from time to time since he has been in village administration for so many years and is well versed in the business affairs of the community . Speaking of his retirement, Grate says the first thing he pla1111 to do is "collapse for a while." After that, you can be s ure he'JJ be followong some of his many paths of endeavor for which he is known throughout the community . Gene, as he's known to everyone in town, is a whiz at clock repair . He's a clock collector and a self -taught repainnan . He's been known to get clocks ticking again that haven~ run for years. His clock collection is fabulous. A jack of all trades and the master of many, Grate con- GENE GRATE, an lDdlvtdual of maay tal calli, will retire from !lie CeDinll Trust Co. ill Middleport on 0..,, 31, after 38 yean ..,rvt., e. structed hill own attractive home overlooking the beautifui Ohio . The brick structure, known as Gratevlew, was begun inside the old Purity Ice Cream Co . building. The older structure was tom down as the new Grate home progressed. He spent about five years on the project and has a home in which anyone couid feel pride. For years, until 1979, Grate 's friends have been quite aware of his ability in the cooking department. Each Christmas season he has turned out uncountable fruit cakes and hand dipped chocolates for his friends and famUy. His culinary art goes beyond the "goodie" department too. Each year t.. entertains all m~m­ bers of hill family with an elaborate Christmas dinner. Members of Middleport Village Councils, over the years, have been guests at other dinners he staged . And then there's music. Gene plays both piano and organ qwte well and regularly does his thing at the piano for weekly meetings rA the Middleport-Rotary Club to accompany group singing . What will Grate do without his duties at the bank and with the village? Well - he'U miss them. of course . However, followtng the "collapse," he11 embark on making five grandfather clocks. Now, that sounds Uke an ambilious project! Whawve r task Gene takes up in his retirement, those who kno~< him are positiv~ that it will be done in Gr-dt~ fashion -and that ·s fiREAT! from representatives of the Meigs Local Teachers Association and the local chapter of the Ohio Association of Public School Employes on an agreement to the effect that this payment system is a one time, good faith gesture on the part of the board after which pay days will return to normal. The resolution states also that all no time can any employe be overpaid due to school closings for bad weather or other unforseen circumstances. Linda Morris, president of the noncertified employes, signed the agreement late last night and Mrs. Bonnie Fisher, president of the local teachers assoctation, has been notified that the agreement is ready for signature. Mrs . Dorothy Oliver, an active member of the Meigs Local Teachers Association, said this morning that the arrangement to pay the teachers was not a great gesture on the part of Mr. Gleason or the board of education. Teachers had the money coming last FMday and the action to make payment came only alter a wildcat strike by teachers was threated in order to secure the pay, Mrs. Oliver said. Mrs . Jennifer Sheets, a member rA the board of education, said the board technically did not have to pay the employes at this time but did so because of the Christmas season. She said the board had been working for a week trying to work out a pay plan and that she supported the action for the two payments hefore Christmas not as a result of the teachers actions regarding the matter but "in spite of them" . She said she and Larry Powell insisted on last night's emergency sesston . Mrs. Sheets further commented that Supt. Gleason had been blamed because payment has not been made to employes while, she said, the board has direct control of the clerk and the lack of payment has been the board's responsibility. Last night, board members were given suggested makeup schedules to be studied between now and the next regular board meeting. There will be some 30 days to be made up by students of the district due to the strike. The board also directed Supt. Gleason to mvestigate charges of alleged unprdessional conduct and inad~ual<! classroom instruction by some U!achers at the Meigs High SchooL All board members were present for last night's session. The action by the board to make the two payments to employes before Christmas followed a conference earlier Tuesday evening between a teachers ' committee and Supt. Gleason • FREE P ARKlNG - Middleport merchants are again offering free parking to Christmas shoppers from now through Dec. 24. Meters were covered by memhers of the Meigs Chapter, Order of DeMolay.

Earlier findings reversed by firm PIKETON, Ohio I AP I - A Chicago-based laboratory has reversed its earlier findings that radiation levels in drinking water near the Pik~ County uranium enrichment plant exceed allowable levels . Eberline Laboratories recently conducted tests on water samples it received from Local 3~ of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union, which has alleged that drinking water around the Goodyear Atomic Corp. plant contains harmful levels of radiation. The union has been on strike against Goodyear stnceMay 3. The samples tested came from a cistern where rainwater is collected. In it original report, Eberline said it discovered radiation levels in the water to be 120 times greater !han those allowed by the U.S. En \'ironmental Protection Agency. However, in a letter the union received Monday. Eberline said the water sample was re-analyzed and that the original results were found to be in error. "I think it means we got a bedroom scene between the lab and the Department of Energy," De!Ulis Bloomfield, union local president , said Tuesday . Bloomfield pointed out that Eherline also conducts tests for the U.S. Energy Department and the Nuclear Reguiatory Commission . The Department of Energy owns the Goodyear plant. The latest Jab results confirm previous tests made last w~k by the Ohio EPA on 10 samples of water supply near the plant. The EPA said testing of both publtc and private water supplies in Piketon showed they were within safe drinking water standards . In U!lephone converstations with Bloomfield, Eberline manager E .S. Chandrasekaran said , "It was just one of those things . ·· ·"This definitely places us in a very bad position, " Bloomfield told the Eberline manager . Bloomfield said later he was skeptical of the new findings, and he said the union wouid send more water samples to another Jab, which he wouid not identify. ..' ,,. ~ Licenses mailed COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP ) Ohio 's Bureau of Motor Vehicles is having to mail out about :I'Al,OOO new applications lor special reserved and "vanity" license plates for 19«1, Registrar Dean L.
