In the Interest of Conservation

Sunday, September the Licking County
Farmers and Sportsmen club will hold their
fifth annual picnic and outing at Buckeye
Lake park Since it's inception the organ
ization has grown in membership, and in
scope as far as conservation interests are
concerned.
To further promulgate the spirit of
craftsmanship and cooperation in this part
of the state the local organization conceived
the idea of holding an annual outing. The
interest shown has been astounding, and
this year, according to Audrey Wall, secre-
tary of the Licking County organization, in
dications are that attendance will far sur
pass that of any previous gathering.
At recent meeting to arrange for the
annual field day, announcement was made
that $500 small mouth bass had been plant
ed in local streams within the last few
weeks. 210 pheasants were released in
Licking county under the clubs direction.
Many prominent business men in Newark
and surrounding community are members
and take an active interest in all club work.
that membership in the Licking club, and
similar clubs throughout the state, is grow
ing rapidly. Every encouragement should
be lent by the public as a whole, to further
efforts that are being made to preserve at
least a part of Ohio's wonderland so that
fish and game will have chance to survive
and multiply in natural habitat.

National Newspaper Week

The first National Newspaper Week has
been planned 1t will be observed from
Tuesday, October 1 to Tuesday, October 8.
Newspapers are the most effectual and per-
vasive agency of communication yet devel-
oped by man, and yet, according to William
n Hardy, chairman of National Newspaper
Week, do the least 'tootin' of their own
horns
II This week will be supported by all news
|Ipaper trade papers, by many newspaper
mems associations and by hundreds of daily
Iand weekly newspapers. The observance is
Iof special significance because this year
marks the 500th anniversary of the inven-
ton of printing and movable type. The
newspapers in Licking county will no doubt
/ cooperate in doing their part to make The
Il First Newspaper Week, a success.
Il The Press constitutes the first line of de-
/ fense in the battle for the maintenance of
\ Democracy. The foregoing fact alone, is
reason enough for the existence of free
Press-a press wherein the citizens OF our
Nation may read, uncensored, the current
news of the day-the hour, and the minute,

portant role newspapers have held in the
growth and maintenance of a Democratic
nation.

Appreciation of Patronage

The successful business or professional
man never allows an opportunity to pass
without expressing to his customer or client
his appreciation of their patronage. He is
usually sincere in such expressions since he
realizes that his success has been brought
about by continuous patronage throughout
the entire period of his business or profess
sional career.
Patrons like to believe that when they
enter store to deal that the manage
ment of that store numbers them among his
valued patrons and that the service render
ed from time to time has been built to suit
their particular needs.
Friendship in business, coupled with a
desire to meet customer demands, goes a
long way toward insuring successful busi-
ness career and the merchant who is frank
in his expressions of appreciation soon be-
comes known over his trading area as one
who will GO long ways toward meeting and
serving his patrons to their entire satisfac-
ton.
Some of the most successful advertisers
of today, stress appreciation continually in
their advertising copy, and follow each sales
event with space devoted entirely to thank
ing the public for their prompt acceptance
of merchandise offered.
No business is so small that it cannot be
expanded through intelligent advertising
placed in a medium of known worth and ap-
probation of patronage enjoyed should be
frequently expressed by using the public
press to convey the message.
The Leader has been an advertising me-
dunn of unquestioned value for many years
and invites the advertising patronage of the
business men who are so necessary to pro-
gressive and prosperous community.

Voters Register Now

At the last primary election, the vote in
Newark, displayed surprising apathy on
the part of citizens, lack of interest. A
community goes either backward or for
ward-it cannot stand still. One of the
quickest ways to start on the backward path
is to lose interest in government, in not ex-
ercising the right of franchise.
This coming fall one of the most import
ant elections in the history of the nation
will be held. This fact brings to mind that
the days in which voters may register, are
limited. 1t is but natural to procrastinate-
but now as never before in the history of
our nation, is the right of franchise such
an important function of our democracy.
The failure to exercise this privilege is un-
patriotic and un-American.
Now is the time to start thinking of the
foregoing not tomorrow, but today. 1t is
time to study the issues at stake, municipal,
state and national. Don't let lack of inter-
est and apathy start us on the backward
path. We must continue to fight the bat
tie by exercising the privilege of the ballot
box. The next time you are down town, if
you have not already registered in at
the Board of Elections in the municipal
building, and make sure that on election day

position is to assume that the
most of the positions of import
ance in a democracy are held by
clever scoundrels. l do not ad-
NIT that our community is that
weak. This, however, is true:
Our way of freedom of choice
and initiative tends to permit
shrewd selfishness to flourish.
1t has produced appalling re-
suits in our country. / contend
that the present contest in Con-
gress is one between personal
ambition and selfishness on the
one hand and the forces of good
on the other.
Our country has produced and

there are some who sit in the
seats of the mighty who know
no scruples.

TRIAL BY JUDGE
Formal Arrangement on
Assault Charge Slated
for Tomorrow

Peter Churchelow, %, Of Spindle
Hill, Wo-cott, and Michael Emma
ruck, %, of North Main street, this
city, scheduled to go on trial before
jury in superior court tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock on statutory
charges, this morning informed
Judge Alfred C. Baldwin, through
their attorneys, that they have
changed their minds and VIII be
tried by court in preference to a
jury.
Both of the accused youths are
charged with statutory offense in
volving local woman. The offense
is alleged to have taken place in the
Town of Wolcott the last day of last
August. Both have already pleaded
not guilty, entering their pleas at
the opening Of the criminal docket
recently when they were arraigned
before Judge Baldwin on bench war
rants.
Churchelow is free under a $4,000
bond, but zinnaruck is Still confined
to New Haven County Jail having
been unable to post a $4,000 bond.
Originally the bonds on Churchelow
were set at $4,000, but the total
was sliced in half when the court
was informed last week that the
smaller sum could be raised.
Before the start Of the criminal
case on the court docket this morn
ing Judge Baldwin granted per-
mission to have the case Of Charles
Byrolly, administrator, against
Louise M. Pertuccio and others, re-
moved to the United States Federal

and we've yet to locate many Of
them until quitting time.

When better tires are construct
ed, Johnny Walker will handle
them. Johnny sold us an Eng
lish tire, distributed by the Con-
necticut Tire Salvage Company.
He made no great claims for the
article, but said we could expect
normal wear. The price was SO
low that we figured it would be
worth a trial if it only went
few miles. We ran that tire 49,
1853 miles, mostly over Southbury
roads. We ran over blacksnakes
and copper-head adders. A barb
ed wire staple finally made a slow
leak in the job and the tube had
to be patched. That tire is still
ON the rim and is still taking
punishment on Southbury roads.
That salvage tire was Just one
of those rare bargains that come
once in lifetime. 1t seems that
after England declared war on
Germany and started buying all
the materials of war that we did
not donate, the ships often re-
turned to the States in ballast.
Some bright hombre decided that
1t would be a good stunt to send
over few shiploads Of cheap
tires, and that's how the Conn.
Tire Salvage Company came to
get these bargains.
Britishers are nuts about hav-
ing everything just SO. When a
tire gets scratched by a bomb
fragment or the tread is slightly
worn, they discard the shoe and
buy another one. The discarded
shoes have plenty of wear left in
them, for q careful driver who
traces his way through the cow
paths and doesn't care to speed.
Walker is wise to all these money
saving kinks and he passes on
the news to his friends.
Speaking of transportation re-
minds us of the super efficiency
shown by the town road gang on
Purchase Hill last week. Oiling
trucks spilled acres of slime on
that stretch Of road between Ike
Platt,s and the State Farm. Sew
eral small trucks brought up sand
enough to cover about half the
surface, then returned to the Coer
sand bank for another consign-
ment. While the trucks were try
ing to get enough sand on the
hill TO cover the oil, several cars
had TO walt for safe passage. No
detours were marked. No apologies
were made. Folks just waited, re-
gardless. One car, driven by q
local taxpayer, waited forty-iive
minutes before the sand trucks
got through. It Is needless 10 say
that this particular taxpayer was
somewhat angry ct the delay. III
