Undelivered Mail
In His Basement
DETROIT—A four-years’ accum
ulation of stolen and undelivered
letters and parcel post packages
were discovered recently cached
away in the basement of a veteran
mail carrier’s home. His wife, who
went to the basement regularly,
denied any knowledge of the “mis-
placed” mail.
The carrier, Roman J. Kortes.
50, explained that he took the loot
“because I just couldn’t help it.”

raigned before Federal Judge The-
odore Levin on a two count indict-
ment charging him with embezzle-
ment from the mails. He was re-
leased on $1,000 personal bond.
Convictions can mean a maxi-
mum penalty of 10 years in prison
and a $4,000 fine for the carrier.
Two large post ‘ office trucks
were sent to Kortes’ home to re-
move the mail and packages. Mer-
chandise was stacked from floor to
ceiling in the basement.
Postal inspectors said at least
10,000 letters, most of them un-
opened, were found in boxes.
The mail overflowed the base-
ment into Kortes’ garage.
Postal Inspector Earl W. Wheel-
er and Charles Viculis, a foreman,
nabbed Kortes as he walked to his
car carrying two packages from
the morning mail, concealed in a
cardboard box.
Wheeler said Kortes stole par-
cels directly from his Gratiot sub-
station as well as from his route.
After a day’s work he would carry
out several “empty” boxes, Wheel-
er said, but only the top box would
be actually empty.
Kortes said he sought valuables
and money and added he spent en-
joyable hours reading personal let-
ters from time to time.

trice, $349,000. This amounts to

5. Yearly payment on interest

Commendations:

trons of the school for the efforts

and maintain a school of which the
communitv can be proud.
2. The district is to be commend-
ed for the recent re-evaluation of
propertv to provide increased re-
venue for operation and a building
program.
Recommendations:
1. In view of the importance of
the jab of tax assessor, collector,
we recommend that the salary be
increased.
2. We recommend that at such
time as the district is financially
able, consideration be given for a
bond issue to construct a gymnas-
Also, the committee would

well-trained and qualified super-
intendent.

business for me, therefore, to

this your best grain market.
I solicit your grain.
2. We commend the administra-
tion for making an effort to se-
cure and keep better qualified per-
sonnel by supplementing the min-
imum required salary, and for
providing teaching personnel in
addition to the minimum required
under the Gilmer-Akin laws.
3. The admnistration is to be
congratulated for the fine spirit of
cooperation that exists among the
members of the school staff.
4. Mr. Harris is to be commended
for the excellent leadership he is
providing his principals and teach-
ers.
Another Shuw Joke
Arises From Grave
LONDON — George Bernard
Shaw’s witty repartees still are be-
ing cataloged by his admirers.
It is said that one day, when
Orson Welles visited the skeleton-
like playwright, the conversation
turned to the subject of Britain’s
economic plight.
“Looking at you, master,”
Welles is reported to have told
Shaw, “one realizes the dreadful
privations undergone by the Brit-
ish.”
“And, looking at you,” G.B.S.
snapped back at the round
cheeked, rotund younger man,
“one gathers who’s responsible.”
Hard Times Finished
For England's Cats
LONDON—A cat lover who nev-
er owned a cat left England’s cats
one-thousand pounds recently. That
was the sum provided in the estate
of Harry Batsford, publisher who
died recently at the age of 71.
Executors of the L15,000 estate
ere troubled as to just how to
spend the money, but they had
some guidance in Mr. Batford’s
will.
He suggested there ought to be

Recommendations:
1. We recommend that an in-
ter-school visitation program for
the faculty be installed.
2. The teachers are now work-
ing in their major or minor fields
of preparation in so far as possib-
le. We wish to repeat the need
for an additional teacher mention-
ed above so that a greater oopor-
tunitv may exist to make all the
teaching assignments in the field
of major or minor preparation.
3. We wish to suggest that study
be given to the question of in-
service training to better acauaint
new members of the staff with the
manv phases of rublic school work.
Non-Instructional Staff —
Commendations:
1. We wish to commend the
transvortation personnel for the
fine iob they are doing.
2. We commend the maintenance
man for the fine job he is doing to
keep vour building “new”.
3. The cafeteria staff is to bev
commended for the good meals
they are serving.
Recommendations:
1. The committee feels that
that there is too much work to
be done in maintaining the school
building and (grounds. We recom-
mend that an additioal full-time
man be emvloved so that all clean-
ing and maintenance can be done
properly, and by so doing we feel
they could keep new the appear-
ance for many years.
1. We suggest that a survey of
salary schedules of schools of com-
parable size be made. The commit-
tee feels that this district is cap-
able of paying salaries on a level
with other schools of the county
and surrounding area.
2. We recommend the addition of
two teachers. One to serve as the
school librarian, and the other to
be assigned to classes now taught
by Mr. Harris.- and to assume some
of the classes being taught by the
high school principal.
This additional teacher would
permit the superintendent to de-
vote his full time to his duties as
head of the school; also this would
provide time for the principal to do
some supervisory work and devote
more time to the pupil activity
program.
3. We recommend that a study be
' made as to the possibility of entor-
ing into an agreement with other
schools of the county to provide
the services of a part-time school
nurse.
4. We recommend that the five-
day annual sick leave be made
cumulative for three years and be
extended to include absences due
to to illness in the immediate fam-
ily of the teacher.
Instructional Staff —
C cm m edn a tions:
. We commend the instructional
staff for the fine work they are
doing with the facilities and equip-
ment being furnished.
2. We commend the staff on the
fine spirit and professional inter-
est.
3. The staff is to be commended
for their professional preparation
and interest.

There’s a difference in hands that "do” dishes
and hands that "dial” dishes. Hands that "do”
dishes are often rough and red, chapped and
creased and unattractive. Hands that "dial”
dishes are soft and smooth, the nails are polished
and pretty, and they always look beautiful and
bright.
An automatic electric dishwasher — the way
that lets you "dial” dishes — makes dishwashing
a snap. Just scrape the dishes, stack them in the
dishwasher and snap the dial.
For your hands’ sake, don’t "do” dishes, "dial”
dishes.
Stabilizer Advises
Boycott of Foods
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The j
way to bring clown the record ;
high prices for food, Economic
Stabilizer Roger Putnam sug-
gests, is for housewives to boy-
cott the scarce items.
He says: “I think if the house-
wives—I call them the food pur-
chasing agents of America—
would refrain from buying these
things that are scarce and at a
particularly high price that
would have more effect on
prices than any other one thing.
•’You can call it boycott if you
want. But when things get too
high, just don’t buy them. That
is the best way to bring them
down.”
Mr. Putnam is especially crit-
ical of Congress for outlawing
controls on all fruits and veg-
etables. He predicted that this
will result in even higher food
prices.”
He deplores removal of credit
controls, saying this had
brought sky-rocketing spending
“which is also helping to keep
prices on as part of the infla-
tion problem.”
