cent was then represented by de-
benture notes issued by The
Mound Mortgage-Loan Com
pany to each depositor for the
unpaid balance of his deposit.
These notes were paid out of the
fund created by liquidation of
the assets assigned, less the
amount borrowed from the Re-
construction Finance corporation
and less also the expense of op-
Grating the company.
During this period there has
been six distributions of the
principal on these debenture
note holders, amounting to ST.
06,367.56. In the final distribu-
tion there was a total of $780,
1921, according to the final re-
port by William Wobbecke, vice
president.
The books of accounts and rec
ords of The Mound Mortgage
Loan Company have been exam
ined annually by Keller, Kirsch-
ner, Martin & Ginger, certified
public accountants, Columbus.
Notice of this distribution has
been mailed to debenture note
holders who may obtain their
check by calling at the office of
the Company, 81 South Third
street, during office hours.

1t was in March 1885 that
certain liabilities Of the Union
Trust company of Newark
were turned over to The

pany, formed under the laws
of the State of Ohio for the
express purpose of liquidating
the assets, in order that the

Just seven and One-haIf
years later the final distribu-
ton was authorized as of Oc-
tOber 80, 1912.
With that distribution note
holders had received 94.953 per
cent of their original deposit at
the time of the nationwide bank
holiday, thus marking an unus-
ual episode in banking history.
During the seven and one half
years the directors of this COM
pany have served without COM
pensation for their services.
Of the total deposits in The

Stroud, Charles Negele, and
Jack Handley.
Jack Handley, who is fore
hearth operator in the wool
forming department, will accept
the "E" emblems on behalf of
all the Newark Fiberglas work
ers. Immediately following the
ceremonies, the emblems will be
distributed to all the men and
women in the plant by number
of former members of the plant
who hold commissions in the
Army and have been granted
special leave to attend the cere-
monies.
Many of the II men and wom-
en- who will receive their "E"
emblems personally from Colonel
Rudelius have relatives in the
service. Charles Negele, a main
tenance worker in the Fiberglas
textile factory, is one of the ma
tion's few 4-star fathers. He
has one son in the Navy and
three in the Army. Delbert
Stroud, a machinist in the lab
oratory, has a son who went in
to the Army only a few days
ago. Mildred Henderson, ste
nographer, has two brothers in
the Army Air Corps. Martha
Schneider has a brother in the
Navy.

Added interest is given to the
occasion by the fact that Ad-

Colonel Rudelius began his
Army career during the First
World War. He was appointed
a second lieutenant of infantry

Mistaken Patriot

Once in a while we still
hear a patriot say that he
doesn't want to sell his
scrap to a junk dealer who
will make a profit on it," He
wants to give it to the gov
ernment.
That's good sentiment,
perhaps, but it points to
one of the sureSt ways to
lose the war.
The government has no
set-up whatever for receiv-
ing scrap. To create one
would add a million men to
the public pay roll and de-
NY the war effort a full
year anyway. Only a
thoughtless person would
advocate that the govern
ment go into this business.
If it does it ought to go in
to the business of making
the steel and running the
railroads, too.
The junk industry is we'll
organized along private bu-
siness lines and it can hand
lie the job efficiently and
fairly for the government
and avoid all costly duplica-
ton. 1t has been put under
strict regulation. The gov
ernment tells the dealers
what they must sell for. A
salvage dealer has less
chance to get rich under
present rules than Hitler
has to take dinner next
week in Buckingham Pal
ace. Only the strongest
can possibly even survive
the war.
This has been explained
before, but it is worth pa
tient explanation again and
again until everyone under
stands it and falls in with

1t was announced that Mrs.
C. V. Priest, 220 Hudson aven-
.ue, has accepted the chairman
ship of the women's organiza-
tion and G. w. Vanscoy of the
Ohio Fuel Gas company will
head the mems organization.
The immediate task of the
chairmen is the selection of
three division leaders each of
whom in turn will name four di-
vision captains. Each captain
will be asked to name a compile
ment of five co-workers to vol
unteer service with him on his
team.
When fully mobilized both the
mems and women's organization
will comprise 76 volunteer work
ers each, or total of 152 for
the combined units.
Initial organization plans for
the establishment of company
goals in the unit account section
of the campaign were inaugural
ed Monday night at a meeting
of the company executives held
at the Masonic temple at which
leaders enthusiastically received
the challenge of campaign lead
ers that if the $91,129 goal is to
be over-subscribed and if New
ark and Licking county does it's
full share in this phase of the
war activity, that corporations
would have to double, triple and
quadruple firm giving, that ex-
ecutives would have to give
amounts equivalent to what they
would have given to the COM
munity chest and the other nine
war related appeals if each had
approached them separately, and
that employees would have to as
pire to the challenge of giving
two days pay in '43."
Satisfactory progress was re-
ported by campaign leaders in
development of organization per-
sonnel and it was stated that
the enthusiasm which greeted
early contacts of those asked to
accept major responsibility, is
continuing and that leaders have
not received declination to
serve as a head of a campaign
committee.
In the meanwhile organization
of the campaign in the county
outside of Newark where an
appeal for only war-related agen-
cies will be made, is progressing
satisfactorily and where the
leadership in two divisions has
been reported complete by Ro-
bert Mead Of Pataskala and j.
M. Fowler of Hanover.

ing of workers to receive in

McGreg0r
Returned
To Congress

The entire Republican
slate for county and district
office sat in the drivers
seat throughout the voting
Tuesday in one of the most
sweeping G. o. p. landslides
in Licking county history.
Not a single Democrat won
office, and State Represen-
tative Paul Green, Demo-
cratic candidate for a sec
end term and according to
dopsters almost a sure-fire
bet to be returned to office,
could not hold out against
the Republican avalanche.
Green lead his party, but
lost to Henry w. Deming of
Granville.
Governor John w. Brick
er was returned for a third
term by a convincing ma
jority over his Democratic
opponent John McSweeney,
carrying other Republican
candidates for state office
with him.
Congressman J. Harry Nc
GregOr was returned to office
by nearly two to one vote.
Samuel A. Anderson, his Dem
Ocratic opponent, had cam
paigned on what he termed
McGregor's ''isolationist rec
ord"
Robert H. Flory, Newark at
torney, lost his first political
race as Democratic candidate
for state senator, when o. w.
Whitney of Sunbury was again
returned to the job.
By a wide margin Edward L.
Jones defeated his Democratic
opponent Jacob G. Spillman, and
Jesse 7. Rees, Republican, was
reelected county auditor, de-
feating Clifton L. Bishop.
Called into the service of his
country during the middle of his
campaign for county engineer,
Arthur T. Handel, Democratic
candidate, lost nearly 2 to / to
his opponent Earl Watkins, who
has been serving in the engin-
eer's position by appointment
since since the death of Engin-
eer Philips.
On the non-partisan judicial
ticket Judge Frederic M. Black,
serving by appointment, was
elected to a full term as judge of
the common pleas court as he
defeated his Democratic oppon-
ent, Forrest B. Ashcraft, 10,-
