District 118 Salaries Reported
Danville School District 118 has no teachers who would be affected by the salary increase bill passed yesterday by the Illinois Senate.
Under the salary schedule adopted last week by the board of education for next year, beginning teachers with bachelor's degree will receive $5,600 per year which is the same figure in the bill sent to Gov. Otto Kerner for signature.
The $5,600 base figure is a $400 increase over this year's salary schedule here.
The new scale calls for beginning teacher's with master's degrees to receive $6,048 per year which is $48 above the minimum provided in the state bill.
The senate bill, sponsored by Rep. C. L. McCormick, R-Vienna, also sets a new minimum annual salary for nondegree teachers at $5,000. District 118 would be unaffected by this figure, also, according to Supt. David Radcliffe. All nondegree teachers in the system will be over the $5,000 figure next year.

Pie Truck Trap Kills Student

Pie Truck Trap Kills Student
Chicago - (UP) - The pie truck standing at the curb on a north side street appeared to passersby to have been abandoned.
The insulation on the heavy door of its refrigerator cabinet muffled the sounds made by the man inside, kicking and clawing frantically in an effort to get out.
He ripped his way through the inner wood lining with his hands and feet. Then his rapidly numbing fingers encountered metal.
His air gave out.
Hours later, an inspector who had ordered the idle truck towed to the garage opened the door.
Out fell the body of Victor Collyer, 20, Wilmette, a Wabash College student who had taken the truck driving job for the summer.
Police said he had been trapped among the pies, apparently when the wind slammed the truck door after he entered the cabinet to make a delivery.

Hitler's Auto Owner Warned About Ghosts

Hitler's Auto Owner Warned About Ghosts
Chicago - (AP) - The owner of Hitler's automobile has been having a lot of trouble over the vehicle - including two offers of marriage and numerous warning about the ghost of Hitler.
Christopher G. Janus of Chicago, who bought the vehicle, said Tuesday that "my principal aim right now is to get back to the exporting business."
Janus has these plaints:
"I have had two offers of marriage, one of the ladies sounding exceedingly pleasant. (He already is married.) She said she liked my picture and thought I was going to become very rich.
"On the other hand, a psychiatrist who was not quite sure about me wants to psychoanalyze me. Someone from the Bronax sent me a silk tie made in Japan.
*** A lot of people seem to think I know where Hitler is.
"But perhaps the most curious thing of all has been the number of people who warned me I can't keep the car because Hitler's ghost won't let me. I try to tell them that I don't believe in ghosts. *** And anyway ghosts don't bother free men. However, an astrologer thought it makes no difference how I feel.
"I might add most of the misconceptions and rather ridiculous suggestions come from New Yorkers," he added in a statement.
Janus added he intends to use the behemoth regardless.
