ALLOTMENT OF $4,000 TO
PAY FLOOD TAXES

Wednesday the following tele-
gram was received from Congress
man Bob Secrest:
"Just received final confirmation
from Major Faulkner, Of the army
engineer corps, Huntington, W..
Va, that final approval has been
given an allotment of $720,000 to
reimburse the Muskingum conserv-
ancy district under the Secrest bill.
This will pay off flood taxes for the
next three years and exceeds our
greatest expectations, as formerly
money has been available only
from year to year. This removes
any danger that the war will inter-
fere with the program Of relief to
tax payers below dams. There is
also allotted s262,000 for highway
relocations and other purposes"
Tuesday Mr.. Secrest voted for
the repeal of pensions for congress
men. The vote was, for repeal,
389; against repeal, seven.

An "all out" campaign is being
staged by The Christian Business OF

to supply every man in the armed
forces with a Service Copy of The
Scriptures. In Ohio, the organiza-

it's share of the needed 3,600,000
Testaments in a special campaign
which begun on Sunday, February
5 and ends on Sunday, March Is,
with Ohio Gideon Service Testa-
ment Sunday. according to H. G.
Long of Lowell, Gideon.
The 412 members of the organi-
zation here in the state will be
speaking in churches of all denomi-
nations during the four Sundays,
and pastors will be making the an
nouncements from their pulpits and
in their church papers.
This organization which has sup
piled two million Bibles to hotels,
hospitals, penal institutions and
schools in "a countries, has now
placed more than 100000 Testa-
ments in the armed forces. Here
in Ohio all draftees are presented
the Testaments as they leave the
draft board offices, where there are
local Gideon camps, and those not
reached in that manner receive
their copies at the three induction
centers where missiOned
officers provide them along with
the uniforms and other army equip
ment.
