is probably the most efficient and
should not be discouraged, but
some way should be worked OFT
whereby the small operator can
find a way to participate. 1t is
therefore, as you can see, an eX-
pertinent in rural life problems, an
it is felt that it is entirely justified
on this basis. Millions OF dollars
have been spent in the last sixty
to seventy-five years in a ve"y
much worthwhile manner to de-
termine the best methods of produc-
ing and caring for livestock ard
field crops and in the control OF
insects, pests, and diseases. How
ever, nothing has been spent in a
positive attempt to improve living
conditions in the rural communit-
les.
The corporation operating the
farm will pay the taxes and all
other costs connected with farming
and will purchase the land from
the government on a long-term pay
ment contract so that eventually
the individuals will acquire an in
terest in the corporation. An in
dividual will not be held liable
personally for the debts of the cor
poration-only for his home.
Applications are being received
and checked at this time and a
few have been tentatively selected.
Application is relatively simple
The family must be in good health,
must have had previous farm expert
ence. and their past record should
show industry and willingness to
work. 1t is desirable that the head
of the family not be too old, in fact
not much over so They should also
express a definite willingness to
work with others in an attempt
to make the project a success AMI,
of course, they will work under
direction and management. 1t is
not necessary that they have any
means wherewith to make a down
payment. Anyone wishing to apply
canobtain the necessary blanks and
information by writing the Resettle-
ment Administration p. o. Box

out of reason, besides it would not

next year we would find ourselves

The Buckeye State is also revealed
in the survey as fourth in population
among the six largest states in the
Union, and fourth in the number of
jobs filled in private industry through
the state employment service.
Of the six larger states, listed in
the survey as New York, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Texas and California,
Ohio was the only one reporting more
placements in private industry than
there were new applications for work.
Director w. T. Doe, director Of the
Ohio State Employment Service,
pointed out that these comparisons
indicated Ohio is meeting placement
opportunities with decided success,
and reflects the growing tendency for
more employers to use the state enl-
ployment service, free to employe
and employer.
Hamilton contributed to this record
with total Of 14l6 placements in
private industry 50 far this year.

WOULD YOU???

WOULD YOU permit your auto
mobile to be in an unsafe operating
condition, or drive it recklessly, if you
knew that this would be the cause of
a death or injury Of either passenger
or pedestrian?
WOULD YOU sanction the storing
Of material on stairs in your home,
or allow unnecessary material or OBJ
jects to remain on the floor if you
knew that your wife or children
would trip and fall over the objects,
and sustain injury or possible death :?
WOULD YOU impair your health
for pleasure, when you knew your
health has a direct bearing on your
efficiency and earning power?
The answer to the foregoing ques-
tions is decidedly MOI! Nevertheless,
many deaths and accidents have occur
red from just such causes, and all
are preventable if only forethought
were exercised.
FORETHOUGHT instead Of after
thought is the keynote to safety.
