cities and counties will be enlisted
with the idea of expanding them to the
fullest extent permitted by available
funds and funds which may be receiv-
ed from federal sources. One of the
main objectlyes will be to utilize re-
lief money for job-creating work in
stead of direct relief. Thus it is to be
hoped to build up the morale of work
ers discouraged by idleness which has
forced them to resort to the dlstaste-
ful necessity of accepting charity al
lowances.
Private employers are solicited to
bend every effort to increase employ
ment in industry and home owners are
urged to take advantage of low prices
for material and labor to make needed
improvements in their properties.
1T will not be possible for the COM
mittee to make direct appeal to ev-
cry citizen who can contribute to this
movement by supplying jobs for the
needy" said Adjutant General f. d.
Henderson, chairman of the state re-
lief commission. $50 | am asking ev-
cry newspaper in the state to empha-
size the purposes cf the committee and
to urge residents of every community
to do what they may to create work.
! If every Ohioan who can spare money
to have repair job or a renovizing
job done around his home will volun-
teer to do so, thousands will be given
opportunities to earn for their fam
lilies and business in every community
will be stimulated"
The work development plan grows
out of a resolution presented by Gov
ernor White to the recent conference
of governors with President Roosevelt.
1t was approved by all the governors
and pledged them to nation wide
survey to increase employment.
! Another step toward affording re-
lief for Ohio farmers was taken last
week when Governor White signed a
bill introduced by Representative Ad-
am Frick, of Scicto county. 1t pro-
vides that any farmer may borrow
funds for crop production purposes
from the United States Secretary of
Agriculture. He may give as secuf-
ity his promissory note secured by a
chattel mortgage on crops either
planted or to be planted within one
year from the execution of the mort
gage. At the suggestion Of Governor
White the bin was made an emergency
measure so that it would become eff
fective Immediately because under ex-
isting legislation farmers were unable
to obtain loans from the federal gov
ernment for crop production purposes
in 1898.

Local Insurance
Men Plan Special
Week i'm County

The week of April 1922 is to be OBJ
served by Madison county life insur-
ance underwriters and life insurance
policyholders as Financial lndepend-
ence week, according to an announce
ment made in Columbus. 1t is expect
ed that the governor will issue proc
lamation, directing attention to the
weeks observance.
According to figures compiled by the
Ohio State Life Insurance organiza-
tion % of every 100 men 65 years old,
must continue to work for living, 67
are dependent on some one else and
only five have independent incomes.
The business recession of the past five
and a half years has brought these
facts forcefully to the attention, not
only of life insurance writer's, but to
relief organizations as we'll.
In 1882, living men and women re-
ceived more than s2,000,000,000 cash
from paid-up life insurance policies.
The investment made by buyers of life
insurance, it is pointed out, is probably
the only investment today, after more
than three years of financial depres-
sion that is worth 100 cents on the dol |
lar. The aggregate resources of the
life insurance companies in the United
States today. it is stated, are 10 per
cent greater than they we're in 1929

New VS. On Display

The new VS. models are now on dis
play at the He'll Motor Sales in Lon
don. The new Ford is attracting much
attention and much favorable com
ment.
From the radiator to the rear bump
er the new Ford VS. cars with 112-
inch wheelbase express the modern
mode in motor car building. The
slanting radiator and grille, 20 de-
gree slanting windshield, skirted fend-
ers and the smoothly flowing lines of
the hood and body blend with one an
other.
A year ago, Ford brought within the
reach of many people new kind of
motoring comfort, convenience, econ
omy and safety by the introduction Of
the Ford VS., the first S-cyIinder au-
tomobile to sell in the low price field,
according to Mr.. He'll.
Today Ford is offering even better
performance, greater comfort and
greater economy in the new Ford VS.
with 112-inch wheelbase. This new car
is the roomiest and most powerful
Ford ever built, and embodies the de-
sign and manufacturing experience
gained from the production and the
actual operation of thousands of VS.
cars in the hands of owners.
This new car is offered with the
feeling that as result of improve
ments in design and methods of manu-
facture, degree of comfort and econ
omy never before available at low
price, can be had in the new Ford VS..
In this new car are incorporated
many innovations in design which
clearly prove claims made for it's inn
proved performance, riding comfort
and economy, yet the basic and sue
cessful engineering principles which
have been applied to the production of
more than twenty million Ford cars
in the past have been retained

Phone Exchange
In State Office
Building a Wonder

Columbus.-The telephone system in
Ohio's new state office building at Co
lunlbus is one of the most modern and
complete private branch exchanges in
the world.
The 400 telephones of all state de-
partments in the building are handled
through one switchboard, which re-
places 16 switchboards and numerous
direct lines which had furnished ser
vice at various locations in the city
The new centralized switchboard has
seven positions for operators and the
total force consists of ten or more OPP
orators, with the board adequately
covered during regular working hours
and in the evening.
For several weeks The Ohio Bell
Telephone Company made a survey Of
the various departments to determine
the type of information given by call
ing parties seeking to be connected
with the department or person with
whom they wish to transact business.
The operators are ready to meet
such situations. They have been train
ed so that they have a general work
ing knowledge Of the various depart
mental functions and the supervisory
people of these departments.
Any person calling into the build
ing, who is not certain which depart
ment is the proper one to handle his
business, is questioned by an operator
so that she can ascertain just who and
what he wants. In addition to being
acquainted with departmental func-
tions, the operators have complete
alphabetical reference file listing all
employees and a classified list cover
ing the title and functions Of each de-
partment
Centralizing of the service results in |
the elimination of approximately one
half of the present listings for the
state Offices in the telephone direc-
tory.

gram could be taken from the $780,
100000 emergency relief appropria-

Whether the delay in advancing the
program is attributable to pending re-
organization of the department of the
reforestation plan is a matter of spec
ulation.
Little of this emergency fund has
been expended, and it was pointed out
that in the event it was used in whole
or in part to advance the reforesta-
tion project the list of emergency
building projects would have to wait.

Ohio projects are included in two
vast programs. One calls for expen-
diture of $700,000,000 during a ten
year period from 1926. The other is

taken last year
Of the Is Ohio projects included in
the emergency program, only one has
