(CP) -- Vacation ended for Buffalo's 71,000 public school pupils today as their instructors returned to classrooms after, staging the largest teacher sti ir. United States history. week-long walkout of 2,400 * teachers was ended by the Buffalo Teachers Federation shortly before midnight last night when its council delegates voted to accept a promise of Mayor Bernard J. Dowd that a pay increase would be forth- coming next fall if the state auth- orized additional taxes for the pur- poe voih R. Manch, first vice-presi- dent of the Buffalo Federation, an- nounced that the teachers had ac- cepted the mayor's pledge to pro- vide $300 tH $625 pay increases for the school year 1947-48. The group originally had de- manded an immediate $1,025 in- crease, $500 cost of living bonus and a $2,400 minimum for beginners. It had rejected a report of Gov- ernor Thomas Dewey's special edu- cation committee as "highly un- satisfactory," declaring that under its recommendations "for the year 1947-48 ubout one-thir" of the Buf- falo teachers would rcceive 20 in- creases, about 1,156 would receive increases ranging from $5 to $35, while only 256 teachers would re- ceive $35 to $175." Manch estimated that under the terms of the Mayor's offer to ap- prove the budget recommendation of the city's board of education about 80 per cent of the city's 3,000 teachers would receive the $625 in- crease. The teachers' present over- all scale is $1,875 to $2,975. The Mayor's pledge for higher pay also was extended to the other city employees. Long Resident Of Harmony Called By Death MRS.

Willing Workers The next regular monthly meeting of the Willing Workers will be held on Wednesday evening, March 5, at the school. Please keep this in mind and plan to attend. Robert Whattam and David Flet- cher were among the group of Scouts from the 7th, Oshawa Scout Pack, who, with their Scout Leader, Alton Dunk, spent the week-end at ' their cabin near Geneva Park. The boys enjoyed themselves very much. The attendance at Sunday School was decidedly lower today than it has been for some time, but, it was hardly to be wondered at, in view of the heavy snowfall Approx- imately fifty were out altogether. Glad to be able to report that Mrs. Sid Baldwin is recovering from a slight operation she underwent last Saturday in the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital. Her many friends hope her health will improve and that she will soon be her old self once more. Miscellaneous Shower On Thursday, February 26, a mis- cellaneous shower was held at the home of Miss Ruby Martin, Fare- well Ave., in honor of Miss Eleanor Chapman, a bride-elect of "this month. Miss Chapman graciously ac- Xtiuwledged the lovely gifts she re- Kellar as bride's father, and Miss Ruby Martin as minister. Games were played, followed by a delicious lunch served by Mrs. T. D. Martin, assisted by her daughter Ruby, Mrs, Talbot Gearing and Mrs. Martin, Jr. Who said March came in like a lamb? It didn't seem like that to us last evening when we were out and the wind was whipping it up. Maybe it's winter's last fling. Let's hope so.

We've been ad- miring a cedar hedge near our house--the spruce trees and spirals are beautiful. When nature puts on a show of her own it has no equal.

Prairie M.L.A.'s Are Not Bothered By 'Mike Fright' By NORMAN ALTSTEDTER Canadian Press Staff Writer Regina,-- (CP)--Although Sask- atchewan legislators, surrounded by 24 microphones, are the only ones in Canada whose law-making is broadcast, they have yet to show signs of "mike fright." In fact they cherish every min- ute of the daily hour broadcasts, with main speakers glowering across the house when a questioner inter- rupts their precious radio time, Only eight of the mikes -- the floor length type--are for broad- casting purposes, however. The '| others are short desk models which pick up the legislators' every word for dictaphone-type recording to serve posterity.

Ray Nichols, 21-year-old Regina announcer has the job of setting the scene and informing listeners of the probable course of proceed- ings. It takes something like polit- ical' acumen 'to spot the micro- phones strategically to anticipate who might interrupt the main speakers with questions. When the cross-talk is too fast the announcer just has to let the radio audience guess who is doing the needling. Its pretty obvious that the mem- bers save the meat of their main speaches for the broadcasting time, Nichols says. "They stall a bit until 3.15% pm." hile the radio broadcasts have served their purpose of informing Saskatchewan residents of what goes on in the legislature as proven by the numerous phone calls and letters to radio stations, the tran- of replacement parts is --- Wwe are your wisest electrical appliances need service, HRISTIAN' Specialists in Servicing Your GENERAL @ ELECTRIC Appliances Qur Service Department has been specially organized to provide the finest in electric repair and maintenance facilities on all your electrical appliances.

Barn Hay Drying Experiments (Experimental Farm News) In 1946 experiments to test the efficiency of barn hay drying for Fraser Valley conditions were un- dertaken at the Dominion Experi- mental Farm, Agassiz, B.C. The results of these experiments, how- ever, are of general interest. The method used, says M. F. Clarke of the Farm staff, consists of placing partially cured hay over a system of wooden ducts laid un the mow floor and forcing a large volume of unheated air through the mass of hay by means of a large capacity fan until drying is completed. Those who have tried the system recom- mend that the hay be placed in a layer not exceeding eight feet in depth after it has been field wilted down to approximately 40 per cent moisture. Supporters of the meth- od further contend that by handling partially wilted hay loss of valuable leaf is practically eliminated and #f drying is carried out properly, green colour is retained, thus making. a high grade feed. The agassiz installation was plac- ed in a mow 30 x 36 feet and equip- ped with a fan capable of delivering 16,000 cubic feet of air per minute, or approximately 15 cubic feet per square foot of mow area per minute. Cost of the installation, including materials, labour, fan and electric wiring, totalled $586.05. the haying season three trials were made. In two of these the hay was placed directly over the duct system. In the third the fresh hay was placed on top of the previously dried layer. In the three trials the hay was field wilted down to 45 per cent moisture or slightly less before hauling was started. By the time hauling was finished the last loads were down to approxim- ately 30 per cent moisture. In the first experiment the hay was definitely over-mature at time of cutting and in the second run rain which came immediately after cutting, resulted in some loss of nutrients. In both instances, how- ever, carotene and protein content were superior to comparable field cured hay on the basis of chemical analysis. The third trial was car- ried out in good weather and pro- duced a hay of excellent quality from the analytical standpoint. The mow finishing period ex- at the end of this period the hay tended between 10 to 14 days and was dried down to 15-20 per cent moisture. Field wilting from a freshly cut moisture contént of 75 per cent down to 45 per cent re- quired 24 to 36 hours in good wea- ther. In the second trial rain in- tervened immediately after cutting and 72 hours were required before the hay was ready for hauling. The three trials produced an es- timated total of 42.3 tons of cured hay. The average increase in cost, including power consumption and depreciation on equipment, amount- ed to $1.70 per ton of dry hay. The first season's results must of neces- sity be regarded as preliminary. It was evident that the efficiency of the method is determined to a large degree by weather, even after the hay is placed in the barn. During rainy weather, drying was slow, and vice-versa during warm, dry days. The method appears to offer some further measure of control over weather in hay making. More ex- perience is necessary under & wider range of seasonal conditions and feeding trials must be carried on with barn cured hay in comparison Mt. Etna Still Is Belching Steam, Lava Catania, Sicily, March 3 (AP)-- Mount Etna still belched steam and molten lava today from a constantly increasing number of craters near the top of its rotted north slope, creating a lurid display which drew a crowd of sightseers to threatened Passo Pisciaro.

Martin Niemoeller Tells | Of German Church Survival Toronto, March 3 (CP)--Adolf Hitler's persecutica of the clergy resulted in a new fellowship among the Christian churches throughout Europe in furtherance of the gospel, said Rev. Martin Niemoeller, vice- president of the Evangelical Church in Germany, when he addressed a capacity congregation yesterday at Yorkminster Baptist Church. The Lutheran clergyman, visiting Toronto on the invitation of the Canadian Council of Churches, said the conflict in Germany was be- tween the will of God and the will of man -- Hitler's will. The church was the means "for God to carry on the fight," and for this reason Hit- ler had to do away with the clergy. Niemoeller himself spent, eight years: in German concentration camps. : After his own arrest laymen took over his pulpit at the Jesus Christus Lutheran Church in Berlin-Dahlem, he said. And as the men were taken away for military service, house- wives went into the pulpit and even youngsters did some preaching. "The persecutions became a blessing," he sald. "We, Christian ig had lived satisfied lives. Things ha ed In our country God did not wah to happen." He said anti-Semitism had come to an end in Germany.
