Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-01-29


sorship bureau and by devious
means convinced them that even
without Emerson's birth certif-
icate, we were law abiding Amer
ican citizens and would not put
bomb under the neat and OBJ
liging office girls desk. Wit
messed part Of technicolor mo-
vie which will soon be shown in
Ohio starring James Cagney fly
ing R. A. F. bombers across the
Atlantic. Also saw a news reel
soon to be released, taken on the.
Russian front in 40 degrel
weather bearing out the state
ment Of thousands of Hitler,
Nazi's freezing to death. Nd
a nice sight, but convincing.
1t might be mentioned hen
that every film shown in tn
state of Ohio is first screene
at this bureau, and certail
scenes claimed to be objection
able cut out. The film com
panies, and the distributors, pa
for the censorship and tn
money goes into the State De-
partment Of Education fund, and
is used to purchase educational
films shown in schools, etc. Not
a bad idea, but tough on the
film men, so they say.
From here we visited the
postoffice building to make a
call on Herb Recob, who many
Newarkites know as he makes a
trip here each Wednesday to
clear up social security prob
lens and questions. When we
entered the building the first
thought was that DR.. Townsend,
Governor Bricker, or possibly
Joe Ferguson might be making
a speech = the place was that
crowded. 1t turned out however
that all those people standing in
line were after automobile tax
stickers, and | am wondering if
the people on the end of the line
ever did get up to the pay-off
window.
Later at Fort Hayes, Emerson
introduced me to some of his
union school teacher friends from
over the state, but that group
being a little out my element,
went to more comfortable quar-
ters at the Elks club for fine
dinner. Secretary Wallace of
the club wanted to be remember
ed to jim Cooper and some of
the other local boys. | man
aged to stand up under their
hospitality until | received call
IN the evening to report at the
Neil House where the Young
Democrats were just finishing
up a convention. 1t was a real
time they were having and ev-
cry one seemed very happy be-
cause Ralph Groves of Steuben-
vile had just been elected pres
ident of the state organization.
He is a nice chap and should we
say-deserved to win. 1t was
our privilege here to climax
most enjoyable day by meeting
Louis Bromfield, the author, who
likes to be known as a farmer,
is a farmer and a darn good one
too, and because Of that weather.
ed look about his features, fin
ally convinces you he is a farm
er. Anyway he is o. K. and
next time | read one of his books
| will think of him as he is, a
likeable fellow, common as an
old shoe, and one of Ohio's prom
inent Democrats.
Emerson made me walk to the
Union depot for no particular
reason than perhaps to save taxi
fare, and we arrived in Newark
at a a. m. Sunday morning =
still without having proved a
guy by the name of Emerson
Fishbaugh had been born about
81 years ago.
There are several sure ways to
find out whether this column is
being read-one is to tread on
someone's toes, another is to
leave it out. | always hear
about the former, but | seldom
get any reports back from the
good things you say about an
individual. Two weeks ago this
column was left out and three
people asked me what happened,
one of them Mrs. B. A. Gaunder.
1t certainly is nice to know that
a feminine reader is interested
and perhaps there should be
more about the ladies-but be-
ing a bashful sort of fellow |
am not very we'll acquainted
with many other than the Mrs.
and daughter, and sometimes
wonder whether | know them
very well.
Perhaps you are not aware
that Logan Grassland is now
rated a speaker available for
dinner gatherings and special
meetings. He revealed a none to
heartening fact the other night
when in talk before the Y's
Mems club he pointed out that
there are approximately 1000 f,
unemployed in the CITY and
