Why make things easy?
Peter Roffey has plenty of sympathy for the States' workload – until they choose to take the most difficult route. Here he examines three instances where their choice of path caused unnecessary problems
Peter Roffey has plenty of sympathy for the States' workload – until they choose to take the most difficult route. Here he examines three instances where their choice of path caused unnecessary problems
AS YESTERDAY'S published letter from a former right-hand man to several Lt-Governors shows, there is nothing new in tension between UK ministers and their island counterparts.
IT HAS all gone somewhat quiet in public, but behind the scenes Commerce and Employment is working hard to save its spectrum tax – sorry, charge... No, it's a tax, let's settle on that.
ENVIRONMENTAL taxes could potentially halve the £50m. black hole in States finance plans left by the rejection of GST.
THE island will have to face up to choosing one of three options to maintain prosperity and tackle the demographic time bomb, according to the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
GUERNSEY has only to look across the water to see the potential damage that a goods and services tax could cause locally, the Guernsey Motor Trades' Association president has warned.
THE report released by the CGI, the Chamber of Commerce and Giba points to the problems with respect to introducing GST and notes that 'there has been an increase in States pay between 2006 and now of £40m. – which would wipe out the deficit'.
I'VE BEEN following very closely the various articles and correspondence in the Guernsey Press relating to the changes and proposals our politicians are putting forward concerning the constitution of the States of Deliberation and taxation.
AROUND 13,000 islanders will not have to fill out annual income tax returns under the government's new bank reporting scheme, it has emerged.
GUERNSEY'S finance industry and local property investors are set to be hit by the impact of new measures announced in George Osborne's UK Budget.
GUERNSEY faces a 'significant shock' if it follows Jersey in introducing a goods and services tax, warned one of the Channel Island's biggest retailers.
FOLLOWING our page one story yesterday, the Policy Council has now confirmed that introducing a goods and services tax is actively under consideration, that 5% is what its review team has been modelling and that tax breaks would be needed to protect the vulnerable. In other words, our exclusive was on the money and thanks to that islanders now have a much better appreciation of official thinking on the future direction of personal tax, pensions and benefits.
US AND UK authorities need to catch up with Guernsey standards of regulation or plans to enhance global tax transparency will go nowhere.
GUERNSEY is part of the solution to global tax evasion, not part of the problem, the former chief minister has told the national press.
GUERNSEY can do no more in its fight against being viewed as a 'tax haven', a local expert has said.
GUERNSEY could create a central register of beneficial owners of companies as part of the international fight against tax evasion.
TAX experts are confident that Guernsey's commitment to transparency and regulation will ensure it is not adversely hit in a pilot tax exchange scheme.
GUERNSEY has reaffirmed its commitment to tax transparency by pledging to take part in a pilot tax exchange scheme.
AN INVITATION from the Prime Minister for Crown Dependency leaders to attend a London event ahead of the G8 Summit 'adds to the feeling of constant pressure' on the islands, a leading tax expert has said.
PRIME Minister David Cameron has written a letter to Britain's overseas territories, including Guernsey, stressing the need for them to 'get our own houses in order' as he pushes for international action to tackle avoidance schemes.
LEGAL and tax experts from Guernsey and the UK are united in criticism over what they perceive as the UK's overly-complex tax laws.
A major overhaul of how the States taxes islanders and spends the money, driven by the long-term impact of an aging population, is the subject of a consultation launched this week.
ISLANDERS will have to choose between fewer public services or more tax to avoid being hit hard by the demographic time bomb, Treasury and Resources and Social Security have warned.

Dispatches WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.— Glenn L. Martin, Baltimore aircraft manufacturer, told the House Naval Affairs Committee ¿today that he believed it. may become necessary for the Federal Government to "draft" industry aiid labor to overcome 4e* " "^fense production lags. Martin's suggestion was made at a committee, hearing on production problems. He also said that establishment of the six-day work week defense industries is essential and that it would increase produc-j tion 12 or 15 per cent. | Martin said he did not know what laws should be passed to speed production but declared that the foUowing objectives should be accomplished: 1. There should be a "strong co- Jterdination" of all Industry, "both ^defense and commercial.'' This could he accomplished by creation of » Government agency with broad powers, or the placing of such authority in some existing agency. %. The co-ordinating agency should have power to "draft" idle machine tools and put them to work on defense material. 3. It should have authority to curtail non-military production in commercial plants, and turn the increased capacity to- defense work. Using the aluminum kitchenware industry to illustrate his third point, Martin pointed out that while the tools could not be adapted to making steel p^ts and pans, the manufacturer could be told to cut his production of aluminum ware in : half» and devote the balance of pro-ductive capacity -to* defense. Martin said that the granting of "drafts powers to the Government 4^ would prevent labor organizers from "taking a bite into a bigger and bigger melon'* and trying to "put the manufacturer in a jam" through strikes. Opposes Nationalization Draft of labor and industry» be said, "would settle all questions as to who was going to do what." Asked by Representative W. Stirling Cole of New York whether, industry was hot accepting Government orders, Martin said at present the Government was offering business "if the manufacturers wish to do it." "Do you mean to nationalize the aircraft industry?" asked Cole. "No sir," said Martin. "That would kill it." "Labor should be given its fair wage and its social security, but it certainly should not be permitted to take advantage of national defense." Says Labor Has Fair Living He said labor was making a fair living now in the industry but should not be permitted to double it by taking advantage of the emergency. Asked about labor conditions at his own plant, Martin said his work ers were "very much in sympathy with what the manufacturers are trying to do/' His plant, he said, is non-union and his labor relations are "satisfactory." Chairman Carl Vinson commented thftt industry was not doing business with the Government on the basis of accepting orders if it wanted to. "Business has got to get out of that atmosphere," Vinson said. "We have got to let business know that the first thing In this country today is national defense." Martin said that his factory is not delayed "at the moment" by any failure of the Army or Navy to furnish equipment for planes on schedule. However, he added, he faces "some very thin spots, in engines, propellers, alloys, aluminum and steel" during the next 12 months. Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee hinted that Wendell L. Willkie, 1940 Republican presidential candidate, might be in-(Continued on Page 7, Col. 2.)

Bliss Man Killed By Gas Fumes & Ft. Bliss officials today were investigating the death of First Lieut. Richard E. Million, 63rd Coast Artillery (AA) Regiment, who was found in his automobile six miles west of Roswell, N. M., apparently a suicide. The young Army officer, whose home address is Portland, Ore., disappeared from the anti-aircraft training center at 10 a. m. yesterday, and military police and civil authorities began a search. His body was found at 10 a. m. today by Deputy Sheriff Jim Black of Tatum and a companion as they were driving toward Roswell. A hose had been taped to the exhaust pipe of the car and was led into the car through a small! opening of the window. The hand throttlehad been taped wide upon, but the engine was not running, the car having run out of gasoline. Purchase slips showed the hose and tape were bought yesterday in El Paso. A reserve officer, Lieut. Million had joined the regiment last October at Ft. McArthur, Cal., had then attended school at Ft. Monroe, Va., and had rejoined his regiment here Dec. 10. Ft. Bliss officials and friends were puzzled at Lieut. Million's death. He was described as a quiet studious youth, in civil life a chemist. He is survived by his widow and a three-year-old son, living at 1210 North Oregon street.

We can wait three more and »pay for it in cash. "The. City can live on a little less money, if we make up our minds to do it." Mayor Anderson said the City has enough broad fiscal powers to set aside a "trust fund" out of tax revenues for permanent improvements without legal difficulties. The proposed plan would replace the present policy of budgeting most available revenues and using what's left—if Anything—for improvements and overdraft retirement.

Hotring is one of the three events that takes place at Hyman Memorial Stadium in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In this mission, Tommy drives a Hotring Racer and must complete the race, coming 1st, 2nd or 3rd. There is a pit for fixing a damaged car, and trying to explode the other cars doesn't work, as they just respawn. Of course, destroying a rival car will give you more time ahead of the others though, as long as it doesn't blow up right beside your car.

Thomas Sowell's Aug. 7 column, "Left skews reality to attack those who have achieved," is absurd in its wrath and convoluted logic and discredits the Hoover Institute for selecting him as a fellow. The column offends in its emotive tabloid-quality ranting. It is silly to assert that successful "self-made people" are not also the beneficiaries of a collection of social goods such as education, support systems such as the Small Business Administration and the multiple agencies at all levels of government — federal, state, county and cities — that serve and support those who start or want to expand their business.
Infrastructure such as roads and ports that facilitate the flow of goods are the "common good" made possible by all who pay taxes.
Sure, personal responsibility, a strong work ethic and smart innovative ideas should be celebrated. But, the arrogance to assert that success is a purely personal thing disregards the web of support a successful individual has in the United States of America.
As a moderate and independent I speak for myself and my Republican and Democrat friends and colleagues when I ask that The Columbian to be more selective and choose columnists who do not have axes to grind.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The first lawsuit aimed at stalling the $3 billion Columbia River crossing project has been filed.
The Oregonian reports that the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods and the Coalition for a Livable Future contend that the Metro Council on Aug. 11 inappropriately used a light-rail siting statute and gave the go-ahead for what is predominantly a freeway project. Three businesses in Northeast Portland or Hayden Island also are challenging Metro's decision.
The Columbia River Crossing intends to rebuild 5.5 miles of Interstate 5 between North Portland and Vancouver and replace the Interstate Bridge. It has drawn intense scrutiny for its price tag and concerns it won't solve the chronic traffic congestion.
The opponents make a highly technical argument that when the Metro Council approved the land-use final order, it relied on a 1996 statute intended to streamline light-rail siting decisions. The statute gave Metro the power to approve the south-north line without having to get the land-use nod from every city and county along the route.

Smoking will not be allowed in bars, private clubs or other public places across Johnson County starting Jan. 1.
The Johnson County Commissioners gave final approval to a countywide ban that will prohibit smoking on all county-owned or leased property and in all public places and workplaces, including bars, private clubs and hotels.
The ban applies to both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the county, meaning Greenwood, Franklin and other local communities will have to follow the county ban when it is more restrictive, county attorney Kathleen Hash said.
All three commissioners approved the ban Monday.
State ban: A state ban that took effect over the summer bans smoking in most buildings that the public can visit, excluding bars and private clubs, and within eight feet of the entrances.
Greenwood ban: Greenwood prohibits smoking within 25 feet of most buildings that are visited by the public, in all public parks and on all city property except streets, sidewalks and trails. The ban does not include bars.
Franklin ban: Franklin prohibits smoking in all public buildings, including bars, private clubs, tobacco retail shops and new hotels.
Current county ban: The county currently follows the state ban.
New county ban: The county commissioners have approved a ban that prohibits smoking on all county-owned or leased property, including public parks, and all public places and places of employment, including bars and private clubs. The ban is countywide, which means it will affect the unincorporated areas of the county and the cities and towns. The ban will go into effect on Jan. 1.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office will enforce the ban in the unincorporated areas of the county, and local police departments will enforce the ban in the cities and towns.
Businesses that currently allow smoking have until Jan. 1 to put up signs and make other changes to become nonsmoking buildings, Hash said.
When the ban was presented last month, commissioners Troy DeHart and Tom Kite said they thought the ban would affect only the unincorporated areas of the county, not the cities and towns. After finding out the ban would affect all areas, they said they would reconsider approving it.
However, the commissioners said they received few calls opposing the ban after giving it initial approval, and they wanted their votes to represent what the majority of the residents wanted.
"I got zero phone calls from people saying they wanted to smoke," DeHart said.
Of the five people who spoke about the ban at the meeting, one resident was against approving the countywide ban.
Tom Bland of the Johnson County Eagles said the Whiteland club already has tried prohibiting smoking and lost 80 percent of its customers when it did.
To bring the customers back, the club limited smoking to the bar area by putting up a wall between the bar and dining areas and installing a new system to filter the air, he said.
People at the club pay a membership fee. With a ban that prohibits smoking in clubs, the county would be limiting what they can do in a private setting, he said.
"Right now people have that choice," Bland said. "Banning smoking in private clubs would take that choice away."
Limiting smokers' choices was one of the reasons Kite said he had reservations about approving the ban.
He said he understands secondhand smoke is a concern, but he didn't want to overstep his boundaries as a county official and restrict residents' rights to smoke if they choose to.
DeHart said the countywide ban is not affecting residents' constitutional rights, which is why he voted to approve it.
Commissioner John Price said he supported the ban because secondhand smoke is a health concern for people working in bars and other places where smoking is allowed.
"We have to look at it as a long-term health issue. The ultimate thing is: It's someone's life," Price said.
By prohibiting smoking in all public places and workplaces, the county's smoking ban will be more restrictive than state law, which was changed this summer to prohibit smoking in most public places or within eight feet of public entrances.
Franklin and Greenwood already had bans that were stricter than state law, but the new county ban will put restrictions on businesses across the county, including in towns that don't have their own smoking ban.
Greenwood's smoking ban is stricter than the county and state bans because it prohibits smoking within 25 feet of public buildings. The city also updated its smoking ban last month to prohibit smoking in all parks and on city-owned property, except for streets, trails and sidewalks.
The city did not include bars in its ban. The Greenwood City Council debated prohibiting smoking in bars this past year but decided not to because the ban would restrict personal liberty and deprive business owners of the choice of whether they want to allow smoking on their property.
Franklin already prohibits smoking in all public places, including bars, and residents there would not see any new changes with the countywide ban, Hash said.
With the new ban, bars in Greenwood and other communities will have to prohibit smoking, Hash said.
President Jane Blessing said the smoking ban is usually self-regulated, and the organization can help provide signs to make residents aware of the new ban.

PADUCAH, Ky. - The Southern Illinois women's tennis team came up short yesterday in Paducah, Ky., losing to Murray State by a score of 5-2.
The Salukis (3-2) got off to a rough start on the doubles' courts, losing two of three matches and falling behind 1-0 in the match. Only the duo of Michela Cruise and Martina Vianna Ce were able to win in doubles as they knocked off Lyndsay Ottosen and Casady Pruitt, 8-4.
"Murray State played more aggressively at one and three doubles," said head coach Rene Vidal.
Things did not improve much for the Dawgs on the singles' courts as they dropped four out of the six contests. Once again, Cruise came through for the Salukis, defeating Lynsey Bochenek on court five, 6-1, 6-1.
Jessica Flannery also claimed a victory in singles when she defeated Angela McGahee, 6-3, 6-0.
While the loss was disappointing, the Salukis look to move on from the match quickly. SIU will be back in action on Sunday at 10 a.m. when they face the Red Hawks of Miami (OH).
"We will learn from this match and continue to get better," said Vidal.
Singles results:
No. 1 - Anna Lask (MUR) def. SabineTsala Mvilongo (SIU) 6-3, 6-3

Directed by Allan Arkush and written by John Hill, Heartbeeps, starring Andy Kaufman, Bernadette Peters and Randy Quaid, is about Val and Aqua, two household serving robots who start feeling emotions for one another. After falling in love, they decide to escape from their servitude and attempt to start a family of their own.It was a Box Office Bomb and trashed by critics, but Stan Winston's robot makeup was nominated for an Academy Award in the category's first iteration. The Cinema Snob reviewed it here.
This film provides examples of:
- Ax-Crazy: The Crimebuster. It blows up things when there is no need to.
- Borscht Belt: Catskill is a parody of Borscht Belt-style comedians, who originated in the Jewish-friendly resorts of the Catskill Mountains.
- Cool Old Guy: Catskill is the robot equivalent.
- Cowboy Cop: The Crimebuster. Precisely the reason why it was at the factory for repairs.
- Expy: The Crimebuster looks way too much like a Dalek. It even has a suction cup arm.
- Lounge Lizard: Catskill is a "club comedian robot".
- More Dakka: The Crimebuster's arsenal includes several machine guns, cannons, and flares. He has no qualms against using them.
- Novelization: Written by the film's screenwriter, John Hill.
- Robo Family
- Sequel Hook: Val, Aqua, Phil and Catskil find happiness when they are junked and sent to the junkyard run by their new friends Susan and Calvin. However, the Crimebuster breaks out of the factory, vowing to catch the robots, as "a Crimebuster always gets his man".
- Shout-Out: Susan and Calvin are an obvious reference to Isaac Asimov's recurring character Dr. Susan Calvin.

By Emily Stephenson LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Police in Anaheim, California, braced for protests at a Donald Trump rally on Wednesday, a day after violence broke out at an event for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in New Mexico. Hundreds of protesters tried to swarm the convention center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Trump spoke on Tuesday, knocking down barricades and hurling rocks and bottles at police officers dressed in riot gear. Police said they made arrests both outside and inside the rally, where protesters continually interrupted the billionaire New York developer's speech.
By Matt Spetalnick HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama sought on Wednesday to ease growing Asian worries about the raucous election campaign to succeed him which has been dominated by the incendiary rhetoric of mogul Donald Trump, now the Republican Party's nominee. "I think other people sometimes look at our election system and say 'what a mess'," Obama told a townhall meeting with young leaders in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon. Obama made the comments just before ending a three-day trip to Vietnam, whose high point was an announcement that Washington's ban on sales of lethal weapons to the country - a vestige of the Vietnam War - would be completely lifted.

Jeff McNeil had a pair of hits for Long Beach State on Saturday.
Feb. 16, 2013
Long Beach, Calif. - Jeff McNeil, Juan Avila, and Michael Hill each finished with a pair of hits for Long Beach State, but the Dirtbags again squandered early chances and an early lead in a 12-2 loss at No. 2 Vanderbilt.
Long Beach State took an early lead after Colby Brenner drew a one-out walk in the top of the third inning to start a rally. Juan Avila singled with two outs to put two runners on, and after a walk to Ino Patron, a walk by Richard Prigatano brought home a run to put the Dirtbags up 1-0. A fielder's choice ended the inning and the threat, however, stranding three of the 10 runners Long Beach State left on base during the game.
Shane Carle, making his first start for Long Beach State, faced the minimum through the first three innings, and after walking the bases full in the fourth, struck out Mike Yastrzemski and got a fly out to get out of the inning with the Dirtbags still in the lead.
However, in the fifth, after a single and a pop fly, Hill bobbled a potential double-play ball, and the Commodores were able to use the mistake to their advantage, scoring three unearned runs in the frame to take the lead.
Down 5-1 after reliever Ryan Millison walked his first two batters in the sixth inning, Long Beach State threatened once more in the top of the seventh inning. Brenner and McNeil hit back-to-back singles to start the inning, and then Avila reached base on a hard hit ground ball that slipped past Vince Conde for an error, scoring Brenner. A passed ball moved both runners into scoring position, but Vanderbilt picked up three straight outs to get out of the inning with a 5-2 lead.
The floodgates then opened in the bottom of the seventh. Jack Lupo walked to start the inning, and then LBSU failed to retire the lead runner on a groundout and a bunt, loading the bases with no outs. Six runs would then proceed to be brought in via one hit batter and five walks, and a final single led to the final score of 12-2.
The teams conclude their series tomorrow, with first pitch at Hawkins Field scheduled for 11 a.m. PT.

ELECTRICALLY HEATED SHOE Filed NOV. l5, 1952 Oct. I9, 1954 Z 1'; Zi
f ffy INVENTOR.
Patented Oct. 19, 1954 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ELECTRICALLY HEATED SHOE Henry M. Crowell, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Application November 15, 1952, Serial No. 320,744
2 Claims.
This invention relates to electrically heated shoes.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrically heatedshoe particularly adapted for use in cold Weather and for high altitude flying.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an electrically heated shoe which to all intents and purposes is identical in appearance with ordinary footwear, the only visible part being the electricity source which is conveniently carried on the belt of the wearer. Other objects of the present invention are to provide an electrically heated shoe bearing the above objects in mind which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, has a minimum number of parts, is compact, easy to operate and eiiicient in use.
For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an electrically heated shoe embodying the features of the present invention and shown in operative use on the wearer;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the battery pocket on the belt of the wearer, shown in an open position;
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional View taken along line 3--3 of Fig. 2 and showing the pocket closed;
Fig. 4 is an electrical circuit diagram of the invention;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the left shoe shown in Fig. 1 and partly broken away to illustrate the heating elements and hot air circulating passages and Fig. 6 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken along line 6 6 of Fig. 5.
Referring more in detail to the drawing, in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, there is shown a shoe, referred to collectively as I0, and including the usual vamp Il, upper I2 and sole I3 having attached thereto a heel I4.
Referring to Fig. 6, it will be seen that the sole I3 consists of an inner sole l5 topped by a linning I6 with the outer or bottom sole Il secured therebelow in the usual manner and carrying the heel I4.
Intermediate the inner sole I5 and the outer or bottom sole Il a sheet of dielectric material 2 I8 is disposed having a contour corresponding to sole Il, substantially as illustrated.
The sheet i8 is made up of four layers, the two inner sheets or layers being provided with. horseshoe-shaped openings I9 therethrough in which is disposed a coil 2D of high resistance wire.
The inner sole I5 is provided with a plurality of transverse openings 2| connecting the parallel portions of coil 2i) substantially as illustrated in Fig. 5.
A female plug 22 is secured in suitable manner to the upper outside edge of shoe upper I2 and is electrically connected to coil 29 by means of a pair of insulated Wires 23, the Wires 23 passing through openings in the uppers I2 and extending down to the sole I3 where they pass between the inner layers of sheet I8 and extend forwardly where they join the free ends of coil 2S, as shown in Fig. 5. The portion of wires 23 intermediate plug 22 and sole I3 is secured to the inside of upper I2 by stitching, not shown, or other suitable means whereby to retain them in a substantially invisible and inaccessible position within the shoe.
Referring now to Figs. 1 3, there is shown a leather pocket 24 secured to the outside of belt 25 as by stitching 23 and having a flexible cover 2l integrally formed therein. The cover 2"! carries one half of a snap fastening element 25 adapted to cooperate with a complementary half 29 when it is desired to secure the cover in a closed position.
A lpair of dry-cells 30 are located within the pocket 24 and are connected in series with a switch 3l. The switch 3| is secured to the outer side of the bottom of pocket 24 and includes a pair of contacts 32 passing into the pocket through suitable openings in the bottom thereof and electrically connected to the batteries and a manually operable button 33 adapted to open and close the switch.
A pair of electrical contact buttons 3c are secured to the inside of cover 2l and come into electrical contact With batteries 3U when the cover is closed, as shown in Fig. 3. These contacts are connected to insulated wires 35 passing outwardly of the pocket through a suitable opening in the top thereof and extending downwardly from within the trousers 3S to the crotch, where two pairs of insulated wires 3l are connected in parallel with the wires 35, a pair of male plugs 38 being connected to their other ends. It will be noted that the wires 3I extends to the cuffs 39, permitting the plugs 38 to be in- 3 serted into female plugs 22, substantially as illustrated in Fig. 1.
In operation, the cover 21 is snapped closed, thus bringing contacts 34 into proper position on batteries 30, as shown in Fig. 3. Upon moving the button 33 to close the switch 3| (see Fig. 4) the circuit is complete and current flows along wires 35 to branch off into wires 3l' and to pass through the high resistance coil 20, causing the latter to glow and throw off heat. The transverse openings 2| act as hot air vents and pass the heat upwardly through the inner sole l5 and lining i6. Since there are no other openings in the inner sole I5 nor in the bottom sole Il, the heat is thus concentrated upwardly through these openings.
When sufficient heat has thusly been applied to the foot of the wearer, it is only necessary to throw switch 3l into an olf position and the coils will cease to glow. To remove the shoes, it is only necessary to disconnect the plugs 22 and 3E. The trousers may then be removed without disassembling the remainder of the device. 1t will be noted that the wires 35 and 3.? hang freely within the trousers 36 and may be readily removed therefrom along with the belt in the usual manner, when it is desired to send the pants to the cleaners or to equip another' pair with the unit.
It should now be apparent that there has been provided an electrically heated shoe particularly adapted for use in cold weather and for high altitude flying and which to all intents and purposes is identical in appearance with ordinary footwear, the only visible -part being the pocket containing the dry-cells which is conveniently carried on the belt of the wearer.
While various changes may be made in the detailed construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
Having thus set forth and disclosed the nature. of my invention, what is claimed is:
l. An electrically heated shoe comprising an upper sole, a bottom sole, a sheet of dielectric material intermediate said upper and bottom soles, a coil of high resistance wire enclosed within said sheet of dielectric material, said upper sole having a pluraity of openings above said coil, a female plug secured to the upper portion of the shoe on the outside thereof, means interconnecting said female plug and said coil, a pocket connected to the belt of the person wearing the shoes, dry-cells within said pocket, a manually operable switch connected in series with said dry-cells and secured to said pocket, a male plug engaging said female plug, and second means interconnecting said dry-cells and switch with said male plug, said second means permitting said male plug to be connected to said female plug.
2. An electrically heated shoe comprising an upper sole, a bottom sole, a plurality of layers of dielectric material intermediate said upper and bottom sole, said layers following the contour of said, upper and bottom soles, the inner layers of said dielectric material having a substantially horseshoe-shaped opening therethrough whereby to provide a substantially horseshoe-shaped recess intermediatethe top and bottom layers of said dielectric material, a coil of high resistance wire within said recess, a female plug secured to the top of the shoe on the outer side thereof, means interconnecting said female plug and said coil, a flexible pocket connected to the outside of a belt, aueiible cover for said pocket, a pair of contacts secured to the inner face of said cover, said contacts connecting electrically with said dry-cells when said cover is closed, means for securing said cover to said pocket, a manually operable switch connected in series with said dry-ce1ls and secured to said pocket on the outside thereof, a male plug engaging said female plug, and means interconnecting said contacts with said male plug, said second means Ipermitting said male plug to be connected to said female plug.
