Plan day for centennial men take with them on the job; the umpteen government agencies which the employer must satisfy and the stacks of PaPer work necessary to operate a business today; the pressures on employ- ers who must meet constant high- er wage demands and mounting payments on behalf of their em- ployees; the added expense of carrying the occasional customer who needs time to pay; the stag- gering overhead for office, shop, equipment, transportation, etc; the personal obligations which must often come before family, friends and self", She said such disadvantages are the price one must pay for the privilege to be self-employ- ed. HoWeiler, the plumbers are of the opinion that such expenses should be passed on to the cus- tomer, appaxently disagreeing with her contention that no one "should risk the economy of the entire community in an attempt to stay afloat". Almost 100 percent of the area plumbers are expected to go along with the price increase. A little while ago, if you re- member, I had an opinion con- cerning a Centennial Day at the school. Most of the people I interviewed were quite enthus- —Continued from front page worked out to $2.12 per hour, with another 10 percent added for profit. The cost breakdown listed by the plumbers was as follows: hourly rate for journeymen plumbers $2.00; vacation pay, 8 cents per hour; other holiday pay, 4 cents; workmen's compensa- tion, 4 cents; unemployment in- surance, 2 cents; liability in- surance, 20 cents; pension, 4 cents; overhead, 40 cents; tools, 40 cents; truck, 80 cents; bad debts, carrying charges and mis- cellaneous expenses, 10 cents. Kleinstiver stated that the $4.50 rate was for licensed plumbers only, and the rate for apprentices was less, depending on their length of training. He also pointed out the rate here was much less than in London, and he said the figure there was around $8.00 per hour. While he noted it was not feas- ible for area plumbers to get the rates up to those in the cities, they did have to keep wages up to attract good men and keep them from moving to the cities. He said the $4.50 price was "very reasonable and fair" and would help to get some area plumbers "out of the red" as far as labor is concerned. DISTRICT NEWS View historic library display A display of old books and records is on view to the public at the Exeter Library this week. Librarian Mrs. Sam Hendrick donned a centennial costume to lend authenticity to the event. She's shown here helping two Centralia ladies look up some information on their community.

The Student Council has been examining this idea and has de- cided to hold a Centennial Day sometime in April. The exact date has not been decided yet. The reason I'm mentioning this now is to give you time to obtain a costume. Many of you are probably say- ing, "It's fine for her to talk, but where am I going to get a costume?" Well listen! Many people have costumes which they wore to various Centennial activities around the area, I'm sure that they would be glad to lend them, provided that you looked after them. Your parents or grandparents might have some old clothes from which you could fashion an outfit. Many girls are sewing their own Centennial costumes. So, as you can see, there are various sources from which to obtain an outfit. Anyone refusing to come in costume, will be fined. Let's have everyone dress up, thus making this day a smashing success!
