ABOUT A MONTH AGO AT THE RE-

ABOUT A MONTH AGO AT THE RE-
quest of city officials, check was made
by the state highway department of the
traffic situation at Eleventh and West
Main streets The move came following
considerable agitation that something be
done to remedy the situation. Up until the
present, nothing has been accomplished,
materially at least, and traffic jams are
still the "pet" peeves of practically every
motorst who has to travel through the
West Main street light.
The Importance of a change was more
evident than ever last Saturday when traf
fic piled up clear back to Sixth and Main
streets, because of the influx of cars head
ed towards Buckeye Lake to attend the
Mansfield-W Westinghouse picnic Similar
conditions are faced at various times each
day.
Representatives from the Leader have
gone over the situation by studying the
system of traffic regulation now being US
ed at the intersections and admit that it
looks like tough problem. However, en-
gineers trained in these matters, should be
able to figure out some way to relieve the
congestion. In other words, something
should be done as soon as possible.

which was open for inspection
August 10 and II in cooperation
with the Newark Coca-Cola Bot

cruiser houses a small duplicate of

mics are used in showing what
happens to accident victims, and
the showing is so realistic that
those witnessing the display are
apt to stop and think about the
enormous toll of life which is
taken annually by traffic acci-
dents.
The cruiser is So feet long and
contains an electric kitchen,

accommodate the five members of
the crew. There are five inter-

PATASKALA MERCHANTS HAD A LIT
h tie experience last week which is very
similar to many embarrassing ones expert
enced in the past by Newark businessmen.
In a so-called search for screen talent held
in the Sterling theatre in Pataskala, foreign
parties who employed girls from the state
of Georgia to solicit Pataskala merchants
for advertising for their hand bills and
sponsorship of local girls as candidates for
the title of Miss Pataskala," are said to
ehave gone south, leaving quantity of un-
paid bills. The whole proceeding has been
branded as racket according to the Patas-
kala Standard, and the winner of the con-
test, expecting to go to the state event
with all expenses paid-is wondering when,
if ever, this is going to happen.
T. Pataskala, even as Newark, has Cham
Der of Commerce. And as is the case in
Newark in some instances, many merchants
did not take the trouble to check up on the
proposition and as a result have been left
Holding the bag
l. The Chamber of Commerce can be of con-
siderable help to merchants if they will but
make use of it. Merchants are constantly
besieged with promoters of all kinds of "get
rich quick" schemes, in most cases of little
or no value to the merchants who do adver-
tise with them, but which do enrich the pro-
moters.
If merchants, when approached by these
promoters, will refer them to the Chamber
! Of Commerce, they can be thoroughly check
4 ed. 1t may be the means of saving consid-
Serable money to Newark merchants, to say
nothing of the embarrassment resulting
from their sponsoring some project which
might turn out to be pure sWindle.
The Chamber of Commerce exists for this
purpose, as well as to promote all enter
prises that look to the welfare of the COM
|munity. The organization is composed Of
la representative group of business people
Whose judgment ought to carry considerable
|force.
The individual merchant is at disad-
vantage when approached by these smooth
talking promoters-he has no way OF check
ing unless he avails himself of the services
|of the Chamber of Commerce. Often times
he does not take the trouble or time to do So
He is often told that his neighbor across the
street, perhaps in the same business has
signed up, so he cannot very well get out
of doing the same.
L It should be remembered that the Cham
her of Commerce, of which he is a likely
member, can give him the information
if they give the "go ahead" signal, then he
can sign up with a good conscience, know
ing that it is an enterprise that he can hon

"Mac" Has Left Us


JOHN McCLELLANDM MOSSMAN, KNOWN
to his many friends as Mac, is dead.
His soul has passed into eternity, but the
memory of his kindly and unselfish devo-
tion to his family and to his fellowmen, will
live on and on in the hearts of all who knew
him.
"Mac" was active in Newark and Licking
county Democratic politics, holding the
office of county commissioner for one term,
and had been township trustee for many
years, as well as township clerk, holding
that office at the time of his death.
Coming from West Virginia when but a
boy, he later taught school for a number of
years, gradually becoming interested in pol
itics. During his life span, besides holding
the aforementioned offices, he was candi-
date for county representative and mayor.
He was affiliated with the Licking County
Democratic club and the Moose lodge.
The vacant chair, both at home and
around the political council table, will be a
memorial to man-and constant remind
er to his family, associates and friends, that
"Mac" still lives on in the bit he contributed
to the welfare and happiness of others.

Are There Any Left?

Once upon a time Negroes boasted Of
the Horatio Algers characters, who like
Isaiah Montgomery, and Booker T. Wash
ington rose from obscurity to world fame.
Today, this type seems to have become ex-
tinct. Seldom does one see or read OF
young Negroes, who venture into pioneer
ing fields. The path they travel must be
we'll beaten, and fenced in with every ele-
ment of security.
Yet, never in the history Of the race
were pioneering and creative endeavor 50
much in demand. With the doors Of OPP
portunity closing against Negroes all over
the land new spirit, and subtle philoso-
ply must be developed somewhere, or the
race will perish. Haply, Negroes can not
die of starvation, disease and social ne
glect without passing the infections, from
which they perish, on 0 their opressors.
This the lords of oppression should stop
to ponder But what do some Of them
care?
One of the appalling things about this
American race problem is that crushed,
abused, and poverty stricken aliens, who
rise to position in this country, are harsh
er and more bitter towards Negroes than
some of the meanest southerners They
close their restaurants, their shows and
other public service businesses against
Negroes. Yet, the first sign of persecu
tion brings them to their knees with plea
of mercy from all peoples.
These conditions should bring young
Negroes to their senses. They should
awaken to the need of creative develop
ment They should set themselves to the
task of producing and building new oppor-
tunities and jobs for themselves and their
people, Do we have any such young peo-
pie? Where are they?

Dangers OF The
Pork BarreU

During speech in the industrial section
Of Michigan candidate Wendell Willkie
was heckled by booers, who went so far as
to throw eggs that splattered on the wife
Of the speaker.
This is natural result of an attempt to
uproot the foundations of pork barrell
politics. The Roosevelt administration has
resorted to a spoil system that is embed
ded in the hearts of those who benefit by
it. and they are loath to give it up, and go
back to honest government and hard work.
It would not be surprising to see more
drastic measures crop up in this campaign.
But all Of this should serve as sufficient
warning to the American people Of the
dangers of government Of pump priining
and money slushing. Corruption and vii
lany always accompany such high-hand-
edness in government. Only through
rough stuff were the knights Of old able
to maintain such authority
If this country is to continue IN the dem
ocratic way, now is the time to forever
put an end to governmental patronage,
and free distribution of the taxpayers
hard earned money We must not toler-
ate demogogery.

ship Of war news. One day the English
will say 1l5 German airships destroyed,
with only ten English lost. The same day
the Germans will come out with release
stating that 100 English ships were de-
stroyed with a loss of 3 German planes.
Both reports would hardly be true. This
leaves the public in the dark.
No better light is thrown on the dam
age done to the attacked cities. The Ger
mans will tell of great destruction in Lon
DON while the English will say that no
signal hits were made by the poor Ger
man marksmcn. It would be relieving to
know the truth. That great horrors were
being faced by both sides may be reveal
ed in recent series of pictures smuggled
out Of Holland. For the first time the
American public is learning that proml-
nent NetherIand cities were practically
destroyed by German bombers. When the
smoke of battle clears away both London
and Berlin may resemble the shambles.
For the truth the public impatiently waits.
