Promotion Merited

THE public is generally
rated as being a rough
taskmaster and critical en-
ployer. The public serv-
ant who does his work in
an efficient manner is gen
orally returned at least for
the second term, to an
office to which he aspires.
In the matter of appoint
ments, politics rather than
ability is too often the reas-
on for certain individuals
holding office.
The foregoing cannot be
said, however, of Homer L.
'Or1 who has been associat-
ed with the internal reve-
nue. department since
March, 1887. Mr.. Orr's
many friends were pleased
to hear of his promotion to
the Columbus office in the
internal revenue depart
ment. The advancement
was we'll merited, as Mr..
Orr is that trustworthy and
Intelligent type of person
who has the qualifications
so necessary to be a truly
efficient public servant.

Board of Education Officers
Remain Same AS During 1910

Members of the Newark
Board of Education convened
Tuesday night in their first
meeting of the new year. Off
GERS will be the same as during
the preceding term, with DR..
Roland Jones serving as presi-
dent, Walter Keller, vice presi-
dent, and Evelyn Hill, clerk.
Bills totaling $1,345.50 were
allowed. The board passed a mo-
tion to borrow $4,000 more or
less, on anticipated funds from
the Licking County treasurer,
to take care of the payroll.
Miss Jean Blinn, state exam
iner, in going over the school
records, made the suggestion
that a purchasing agent be ap-
pointed who would have author
ity to dispense funds up to the
amount of 5000. Expenditures
over that amount would have to
be voted upon by the board. Sup
erintendent Paul B. Edwards
was named purchasing agent,
thereby complying with the re-
quest.
The examiner also suggested
that service fund be set up in
the budget, explaining that the
law allows such a procedure, as
the board is allowed 5 cents per
head for each child. The money
from this source is used to pay
special speakers brought in
from the outside.
Last year the Woodside Par
ent-Teacher association sponsor
ed a project providing clothing
for underprivileged children.

ucation at their request sponsor

In the county itself there will
be separate chairman for each
village whose duty it will be to
conduct drive in his district
much the same as is being done
in Newark. Schools, fraternal
organizations and other groups
which have direct or indirect in
terest in public welfare drives
of this type will be closely or
ganized and called upon for aid
to the county society.
DIR. Homer j. Davis, in charge
of the disbursement of the
county funds, reported to the
group the activity conducted
through the use of the organi-
zation's money in the past year.
While there were only three
cases of infantile paralysis in
Licking County requiring the
help of the funds-one of these
requiring disqualification and the
use of the iron lung and neces-
sary 24-hour nursing facilities
DR.. Davis pointed out that the
funds were used in many other
ways such as support of the
county school for crippled chill
dren which has gained an envi-
able reputation throughout the
state, educational programs, and
an insurance against what
might easily could happen should
the county suffer an epidemic
such as that experienced in the
southern part of the state dur
ing the last summer and fall.
In individual cases the funds
must be used only if the indivi-
dual is an infantile patient but
where the improvement of facil-
tiles for the care of crippled
children is concerned it is felt
that the infantile patient or
those of the future is benefited
in equal amount.
Summing up the purpose and
work of the county organization
DR.. Davis stated "You have CIV
en- every doctor in the county an
opportunity to call on the fund
to secure aid and care for cases
for whom such care would 9TH
erwise be impossible Equ-
ally, and perhaps more import
ant, you have, contributed
through the money that goes to
the national organization to the
fight to find the cause of in
fantile paralysis. If we know
the cause and can eliminate it
we won't need money for the aid
of those crippled and disabled by
the disease"
elimination of the drive is
found in the Presidents Ball
which takes place on January 80
in the Elks ballroom. Tickets
for this dance are being sold by
committee members now and
