Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-02-26

Sunday, March l, from 3 to . p.
events?' My answer is: Have
all your children get a useful
education. Have even the girls
learn some trade, art, or profess
sion. Never mind if these girls
don't get college degree. Uni
versity degrees are pretty to look
at; but they are too stiff to eat,
too small for clothes, and too
frail for shingling the roof"
Vic Martindale says he is go
ing to have the best civilian de-
fense unit in the city-Unit No.
2. That's o. K. Vic, a little COM
petition should be good for the
program as a whole.
The Japs or any Of their
stooges had better keep away
from the municipal water sup
ply. Darwin Butt, has the guards
out there, including Dick Curry,
drilling the bulls eye with "45"
at so PAGES.
Out at our house we had II
quarts of grape juice which ex-
cept for the Mrs. would have
been a pretty good grade of wine
by this time-but no, it had to be
made into jelly. That was be-
fore the little yellow devils
started sticking pitchforks into
Uncle Sam where he didn't like
it most. Now there always is
(was) Is to 20 pounds of sugar
around our house so all of a
sudden the cooks start making
jelly before it's too late. When |
went into the house the other
evening even the beer mugs were
filled with jelly-in fact there
was enough jelly to stick the en-
tire Jap navy-but alas there
was not even sugar for the cof-
fee. The next day we got two
pounds, all the grocer would al
low-but, Boy! Oh Boy! have we
got jelly.
Registering under the latest
selective service ruling proved
quite a task at that. At l p. m.
last Saturday Draft Board No.
was swamped. This bit of po-
tential military target left and
returned at S p. m. to find the
lads on the end of the line at l
o'clock, just signing up. The
boys who stuck it out those four
hours probably felt they had
earned the right to serve their
country after standing in line
that long.
Councilman Bud Stare is
afraid that if the curfew ordin-
ance is enforced under the new
war time that the youngsters
will be going to bed while it is
still daylight. 1t has been our
experience in the past that you
usually have to start getting the
kids to bed about six o'clock in
the evening in order to have
them tucked away by ten o'clock,
anyway. How about it, Bud?
If an inch of rain falls in
Licking county it would figure
out to be 342,528,00O barrels of
water. At least that is what
one of my mathmatical friends
tells me. You figure out wheth-
er he's right. It's easier to
accept his word for it.
Someone has figured that in
a certain 1000 acre tract of land
at the edge of Newark, there are
So homes. From those homes
35 men and three women report
to factories for work. Living
in the territory are only 9 young
to middle-aged men engaged in
farming. Sixteen men 70 years
old or better, also farm. Maybe
the foregoing statistics mean
something, perhaps they don't.
At any rate | am told the terri
tory indicated lies in the south
west corner of Madison town
ship, edging into the northwest
corner of Franklin township.
