County Votes More Mone
For Child
Taylor County Commissioners
Court Monday morning voted to
give additional funds to the county
child welfare office and to termin-
ata a contract with Herschel
Peake for maintenance of the
sheriff’s office radio equipment.
The commissioners also took un-
der consideration the employment
of a full time assistant or typist in
County Auditor Herbert Middleton's
office.
After hearing from Judge Reed
Ingalsbe a report made by Mrs.
Dorothy Curiae, supervisor of the
child welfare unit, that the office
has incurred a deficit of about 3300
since the first of this year, the court
at first voted to shoulder half of
the deficit, subject to agreement by

Welfare Office
the City of Abilene to contribute an
equal amount. The child welfare
unit regularly receives $750 per
month which is paid jointly by the
city and county.
Deficit Hits $900
When Judge Ingalsbe celled to
the child welfare office to learn
the exact amount of the deficit be
was informed that Mrs. Curlee is on
vacation and was told that the def*
icit, instead of being $528 (the fig-
ure from last month), is now more
than $900.
On learning this, the commis-
sioners court decided informally to
check further into the deficit and
its exact amount.
not delegate any of the actual work
of the auditor to another person
without the authority of the district
judge who appoints the auditor, but
that be has previously had a part-
time worker to do typing and other
office work.
He suggested the alternative of
consulting the district judges about
employing an assistant auditor or
of employing a typist-receptionist
who would also take charge of all
county mailing.
Postage Cost Drops
Middleton presented figures
showing that in 1946 when the
county used regular postage
stamps the postage bill was
$2,786.03 and that the figure drop-
ped to $1,274.08 in 1947 after post-
age meter was put in use. Ho
pointed out that the saving on post-
age through use of a meter would
almost offset an additional salary.
Ingalsbe also recommended that
the matter of accounts receivable
be transferred from the treasurer’s
office to that auditor’s office and
stated that strict collection of ac-
counts owed to the county could
Ingalsbe presented to the com-
missioners information from a de-
tailed report made by Mrs. Curlee
showing the disposition of all funds
expended by the office. The report
showed that the child welfare unit
is now paying for the support of
23 children who have been placed
in foster homes, at the rate of $50
per month per child. _________
Ingalsbe told the court that the bring in additional revenue of
welfare office several months ago "Inndnade en natana thenaands of
ceased a practice of paying ex-
penses of unmarried expectant
mothers with the intention of plac-
ing the children for adoption after
the babies were born and that he
is convinced that the funds are not
being wasted. He said he was told
that $300 sent to the child welfare
office for office furniture was
spent on welfare work, thus hold-
ing the deficit as low as possible.
Deputy Takes Job
The commissioners voted to give
Herschel Peake 30 days notice that
the county is cancelling its contract
with him and decided to let Deputy
Sheriff Leroy Arnold oversee main-
tenance and repair of radio equip-
ment used by the sheriff’s office.
Judge Ingalsbe told the commis-
sioners that Arnold is qualified to
handle this and notify the county
if any repairs are needed. The
equipment was installed new about
a year ago and x minimum of work
has bad to be done on it since it
has been in operation.
The county had been paying
Peake $57 per month on a con-
tract basis. Several months ago
Peake voluntarily suggested thst
he would pay for any parts needed
end do any necessary work for
$57 monthly.
The commissioners heard a sug-
gestion from Ingalsbe and Middle-
ton that the county’s postage me-
ter which has formerly been op-
erated in the district attorneys’ of-
fice be moved to the auditor’s of-
fice and that another person be
employed to handle all the county
mail and also assist Middleton.

Paris' Famed Eiffel Tower
Getting Glamour Treatment
WASHINGTON — Sixty death-
defying painters are giving the
Eifel Tower a “new look"—a three-
tone finish. When they are through.
In late 1SM. the 984-foot steel skele-
ton will glisten golden brown on
top, a shade darker In the middle,
and even darker brown at the
bottom.
“Cognac brown" to the way
point manufacturers describe it.
They claim the slender spire’s
new color will exactly comple-
ment the Paris sky.
The point job is a regular chore
every seven years, says the
National Geographic Society, and
it requires two years to complete,
one half will be pointed this
spring and fall and the other half
during the same periods next
year. Work is suspended during
the heavy tourist season.
While spray guns would seem
more appropriate to the lower’s
giant size, they cannot be used
because of the fineness of the
ironwork. Painters will spread on
the 70,000 pounds of paint with
1,200 short-handled nylon brushes.
Royal Visitor
Since Its first visitor. King Ed-
ward VII, then Prince of Wales,
signed the guest book in UN. the
tower has been France s leading
tourist attraction. Sometime this
spring the twenty-fve-millionth
visitor will ascend the structure
by elevator or, if particularly
energetic, hike up the 1,710 steps
to the glass pavilion near the top
There, on a clear day, the
sightseer can spot Chartres, 50
air miles from Paris If B’s a
windy day, he will be well ad-
vised to stand fast, for the lacy
shaft sways more than four feet.
Exceeded in height by only two
other man-made edifices, the

Ings to New York City the tower
spans 2% acres at Ito base on the
Champs-de-Mars. It was the first
large structure. other than
bridges, to be built entirely of Iron
or steel. Some 15,000 steel beams
and 2% million riveta were used
in its construction.
Source of Revenue
Built by Gustve Eiffel, a
brilliant French engineer and
bridge builder, for the Interna-
tional Exposition in Paris in UN.
the lower has proved a pillar of
profit. Its initial investmoat was
recovered in less than two years.
Gate receipts now total nearly
$600,000 annually, including reve-
nue from restaurant and bar con-
cessions at the 190-foot and 381-
foot levels.
Originally, the structure was
considered a “vulgar mon-
strosity” by many prominent
Parisians, but as the years passed
residents of the French capital
grew food of the undisputed trade-
mark.
Late in World War II the U. S.
Army requisitioned the spire as
a radio transmission point, and
both th Army and the American
Red Cross operated canteens with-
