NEW CASTLE NEWS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1945 • 3 AN URGENT SITUATION When the proposed budget is discussed at the public meeting December 6th, which everyone in town should at tend, our township will be put to a test. It is proposed that salaries be increased 10% and we wholeheartedly support this increase. 10% does not nearly compensate for the increase in living costs. But it is not yet clear whether the laborers in the high way department who work on an hourly basis are to share in this increase. They should. As a matter of fact, these are the lowest paid workers in the town employ. They feel the pinch in higher prices more than any other group. They should get a larger increase than 10%. The whole system of paying highway workers is out of date. They should be paid an established hourly rate with a 15% increase over the present rates, with a minimum of $1.10 an hour, time and a half for overtime, one week's vacation with pay and pay for holidays. These are the men who take care of our roads, who plow away the snow and who face the most inclement weather, winter and summer. They deserve a break. FERGUSON TO TALK TO REPUBLICANS (Continued from Page 1) Party. It's Past? It's Future?\ Judge Bleakley has spent a long career in the service of the Re publican Party.

APRONS — GRAB BAGS HOME BAKED FOODS HAND MADE ARTICLES \WHITE ELEPHANTS\ PLANTS REFRESHMENTS! Friday Dec. 7th 2:30 to 9 P.M. While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no admini stration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously injure the government in the short space of four years. Mr. and Mrs. John Sheldon, who came from Burlingham, Michigan, about two years ago with their children, Cynthia and John, have recently purchased the above home from Mr. and Mrs. Edward Murtfeldt. An interesting feature of this old re-modelled place, is that it was a barn on the Miller farm, which was partly done over and csed as a sales office when Seven Bridges was first started. Later, about six years ago, the Murt- feldt's bought it and re-modelled the balance of the \L\ shaped building, and it is now a very attractive colonial home. Mr. Sheldon is in the adver tising business, with the firm of Geyer, Cornell and Newell.
