 WORK WILL BE DONE SLOWLY AND ORDERLY
 Big point the committee agrees on is that there1l be no rush about the job; the whole thing likely will take 30 years, maybe longer. Prob ability is that the area will be de- veloped in blocks, a little at a time; therell be nothing resembling the Oklahoma land rush of a genera tion ago.
 President Roosevelt has said majority of the settlers ought to come from the dust bowl mi- grants. Whatever is done about that, only about a third of the 5OO,OOO inhabitants will be on farms; past experience on rec lamation projects indicates that when one family takes up a farm, two other families get OppOrtuni- ties in city and town. Incidentally, past experience in settling dust bowl migrants in western reclama- tiOn areas is being gone over with a fine-tooth comb so mistakes can be avoided.

Asks Cooperation
OF Parishes For
Pastors Meeting

Rev. Robert o. Mcclure of
First Methodist Church, repre-
sentative of the ministers of this
county on the Program Commit
tee of the Ohio Pastors Conven-
tion had expressed the hope that
many of the local churches will
make arrangements to pay the
expenses of their ministers in at
tending this INSTRUMENTATION
meeting.
The convention, attracting min
listers of the Protestant churches
from all parts of the state, is to
be held in Columbus, January 20
to February /. 1t will be the
twenty-first annual session of the
convention, sponsored by the
Ohio Council of Churches.
"This annual convention is the
outstanding interdenOminational
event of the church year in
Ohio" DIR. Mcclure commented.
Each year it brings together
thousand or more ministers of
many different denominations. 1t
gives them an opportunity to
meet one another in fellowship
that knows no denominational
barriers.
at brings them inspiration for
the years work and information
on a wide variety of subjects
that concern all the churches.
It's speakers year after year con-
stitute cross section of the
ablest religion leadership of the
country. 1t serves as an agency
through which Ohio Protestant
ism can speak with a united
voice on issues of the day.
Every local church should
have a part in this great conven-
tion. 1t should be represented
by its pastor, and as spokesman
for his church the pastor should
have his expenses paid, either by
the church or by laymen's contri-
buttons"
The cost of the trip is estimat-
ed at not more than $12 to SIS,
in addition to transportation, and
this latter item can be kept low
by several pastors travelling in
one automobile.

The plan was broad, the aim
was high, but he cited the need
for such an aim and proceeded to
prove his point. Culturally DR..
Jones is of the mind that music
and literature should receive
wider acknowledgement in cur
ricular work. He pointed to the
value of literature as vital de-
veloper of youthful minds and to
music as a path toward appre-
citation of the finer things to
come later on.
In the recreational field DR..
Jones deplored the inadequacy OF
parts of the system. Toward cor
rection of these faults he point
ed the way at least for serious
consideration. For one example
he chose the tennis courts in
Newark's Fairgrounds. These,
he said, maintain their useful
ness only for a period of three
months of the year. Even then
periodic rains render them use
less for days at a time. His So
luton: hard surface them. Make
them good every day during the
late spring, summer and early
fall months, and during the win
ter flood them for ice skating.
This he feels would be step in
the direction of instituting a
year round outdoor athletic pro-
gram for Newark.
The need for another stadium
on the south side of White Ath-
letic Field, he said, is apparent.
But this will take time. Mean
while, many things are needed in
the present structure. For in
stance: heating dressing rooms,
locker rooms and showers. That
the Athletic board at present is
self supporting he believes to be
part of the solution.
He recommended a reorganiza-
tion of the athletic board to in
clude two lay members, all of
whom will be appointed by the
Board of Education. And in
making athletic improvements
needed at present, the school
board president is of the opinion

Budget requests in the form of
increased appropriations from
department heads, however, were
refused by the board, chairman
Hugh E. Jones announced when
making public the appropriation.
Some had asked for amounts as
high as $4,000 over their previ-
GUS allotments.
Total distribution to county's
general and road and bridge
funds amounted to $685., ,425.
classified they were: general
$334,684; road and bridge-$25O,-
TAI. Explanation of the increase
came through balance of $43,OO6
left in the road and bridge till
and the additional funds at hand
through the passage of the =
mill t. b. sanatorium levy last
August. To this institution an
amount of only $4,000 from the
general fund was appropriated
; for 1939-incurred obligations.
Anticipated revenue from the
levy is $4,000, all of which will
go to the sanatorium In l941
with no need for general fund
appropriations.
Budgetary allotments for the
county offices for 1889 and 1910
follow. First amount is the ap-
pdapriation for 1889. In paren-
thesis is the new 1910 increase:

Indebtedness incurred in so do

Great strides have been made
in recent years, both from a fl

certain, is that it will continue to

sub-zero temperatures don't
phase him in the least. He finds
cold invigorating. Thus, he has
turned retirement into active re-
tirement and not Information.
In Mr.. Roses life there is still
other diversion. Of an evening
he likes the radio. But he'll take
Saturday night in preference to
any other. Why? Because he's
an adherent to the school that
thinks good old fashioned music
is the best. So the barn dance
programs gain permanent lis
tener.
"I'm glad to be through" he
says, "and even if it were poss-
ible for me to take another job
I'd turn it down. Salary no in
centive." But his years with b.
and O. will always be remember
ed.
Added hours around his home
with Mrs. Rose are a great
source of satisfaction to him.
But when housecleaning time
and other periods arrive when
Mrs. Rose needs the run of the
house, he won't let himself get
in her way. 81 get out and
walk" he stated. And when he
has walked enough he comes
back, lights his pipe, gets him a
comfortable chair, picks up
"Gone" and starts chewing on it
again.
