Naw City Official* Th# mow city admtatotration took office Friday, and to already hard al work. The number of change*. *o far. h* been few, a* In moat change* in recent year* at the dty level. The new etrert commiaaionrr gut the regular bapitem of fir# he *u called ovt the Aral night IjMwl an , otodric line behind the »tram plant burned out Sunday morning, cauaing headache* for the light and water department* for an hour or *<». Bigge*! aurpriae waa the new administration** request for a $960 raise from the 55.500 previously allotted to the mayor. That means new mayor Donald F. Gage will receive $6,460 a year. Thia is by far the largest salary ever paid to a Decatur mayor. * Previously the mayor received $2,580 as mayor. $1,200 as city Judge. $460 from the city light department, and S4BO from the city water department. Thia meant a total salary of $4,960. The 1959 legislature passed an emergency law which made it necessary for the city council to set the may or's--for 1960 before May 1 0f’1959. The council met Monday, March 28, and approved city ordinance No. 11 • setting the mayor's salary at $5,500. Ordinance No. 10 set up a eity Judge separate from the office of mayor. . The meeting was covered In a front-page storv March 24 headed “CITY COUNCIL SETS SCHEDULE FOB SALARIES.* The mayor’s job, except for the term of office of former Mayor Robert D. Cole, has been considered by most as a part-time job. The addition of $960 to the already gemrous salary was accepted by some as meaning that Gage plans to give his full time to the job. It tod others to believe that part-time jobs, like being mayor or appraising the city utilities, are the coming thing—much more desirable than a 40-hour -a-week job. Highest paid member of the city administration is not the mayor, however. * City engineer Ralph E. Roop holds two other jobs—superintendent of the water works and sewage treatment plant. He draws $2,580 as city engineer, $4,160 as water ' works superintendent, and SI,BOO as sewage treatment ... superintendent, for a total salary And he works hard at all three jobs to earn it. Next highest paid official is the superintendent of the electric utility, L. C. Pettibone, who earns $7,380 a year. The city clerk-treasurer gets $4,500 from the general fund, S6OO from the light fund, and S6OO from the wtfter department, for a total of $5,700. Mrs. Laura Bosse has this tedious and time-consuming job, which handles the city records, funds, and money. City councilmen receive just S6OO a year, while the city judge receives SI,BOO a year for handling the many cases brought before that officer. The city auditor, Ed Kauffman, earns $2,274.96 from * the water department, $3,249.84 from the light department, and $975.12 from the sewage treatment department, for a total salary of $6,499.92. He maintains the - books of all three departments, and as an accountant keeps a close check on all city affairs. Next down the scale of major city employes is the police chief, James Borders, and fire chief, Cedric Fisher, each of whom works six days a week as a rule, and is on call at all hours of every day. They earn $4,599 a year, a good bit toss than SIOO a week. The street commissioner receives $3,980 for that job, and an extra S6OO as superintendent of the park department, for a total of $4,580. This is little enough if he does a good job. ... — The city police and firemen make only $3,780 a

Honor Sam Raybum On 78th Birthday WASHINGTON <UPU — House members of both political faiths dusted off some of their warmer superlatives for today's opening session. This is Spaker Sam Rayburn's 78th birthday, and the members don't get a chance to say all those nice things very often. Raybum’s birthday, like Rayburn himself, has become pretty much of an institution around the capitol, coming as it docs on or i pretty close to the opening day of each session. Except for four years embracing two Republican Congresses. Raybum has been speaker since 1940. longer than most members of the House have been in Con- | gress. Bears Up Well With so many df them behind 'him. Mr. Sam naturally is not quite as enthusiastic about birthdays as some other people. He 1 usually bears up well though under the kind words everybody has for him on these occasions. Although Rayburn is and always has been an unqualified I and unrepentant Democrat, even ' the Republicans speak highly of him on his birthday, and sometimes ' even between birthdays. This time President Eisenhower got into the act early, telegraphing the Texan last week. •“! am proud to have been bom in your congressional district.” Shatttrs All Records As hard as this may be for some folks here to believe, Rayburn wasn’t actually representing the district at the time of Eisenhower's birth. He’s been in Congress not quite 47 years, merely an all - time record for House membership. He ajso shattered, long ago. all records for tenure as speaker.

Another prominent Republican who doesn't always see eye to eye with Rayburn is Rep. Charles A. Halleck, the House Republican leader. 4, when Rayburn shattered one more longevity record of some kind or another, Halleck called him a “mag-

Week Os Prayer (Editor's note: The Decatur '. msrusteriul associate* urges daily prayer by Decatur residents during this Week of Prayer. Today’s suggested text i. WHEN TO PRAY REGULAR Expected times for tyayer keep it a normal part of every day. Habit can make a right frame 6t mind come at,those times. Three regular times each day give a spiritual framework for living: 1. Morning. An early morning prayer sets the tone for the day. ' It gives us a chance to take God ' into our planning. It gives His help • in meeting the temptations or dis- ■ ficulties the day may bring. For many workers this early prayer may have to be short. 2. During the day. A pause in mid-morning or mid-afternoon or during the noon hour may give the best chance for quiet and- unhurried prayer. 3. Evening. A prayer just before going to sleep lets us think over the day in the sense of God's presence. It lets us find peace by talking out with Him any problems which may be on our minds. But it,is the time at which we are dulkyt and least able to have the finest sort of prayer. j Special. We can turn easily to prayer whenever events bring the need. A letter, a new problem, a train of thought may bring something we want to talls over with the Friend who is always near. • Sudden. A Christian’s day may often bring the momentary darting of a thought to God—" Thank You’* or “Help me now.” foiled Leather Strong ammonia water is good for cleaning leather. Moisten a cloth well with this, and rub the soiled leather until it is clean;
