GRIFFlTHS COMES
OUT AGAINST
HOUSING Bill
Getting Busy In
w WashingtOn AS
Election Nears

Washington, D. c., Mar. 13-Dur-
ing the debate on the Patman Hous-
ing bill, Congressman P. w. Grif-
fiths of Marietta made the follow
ing remarks:
"Mr. Speaker, l have listened
through the entire debate on the
Patman housing bill and it appears
10 follow the same pattern; yes the
very same arguments are being
made as on all previous bills. viz,
here is chance to do something for
the veteran.
snow l would like to see every
veteran able to acquire home OF
his own but / am afraid the veteran
will be without a home if this bill
passes because where is there any
guaranty that any homes will re-
suit? Certainly they cannot be
made without lumber, brick, tile,
glass and so forth. You do not
build homes with paper, hot air, or
piOus declarations. Yes, he will
have as much chance of getting a
home as he now has of acquiring
surplus property.
"Let US look at the record as re-
CARDS just one item of surplus prop
erty - tractors. During the war
about $4,000 were manufactured, of
which approximately 80 percent
went overseas and stayed there. Of
those remaining in this country
about 5000 have been distributed to
purchasers - the number going to
the veteran, however, has been an
infinitesimal percentage because the
veteran comes third in preference.
"On February /, 1916, SWPC had
ISSUED approximately $4,000 certifl-
Gates for crawler type tractors.
"On same date, WAC had requests
for $1,000 wheel and crawler type
tractors from federal and state
agencies. So what good is the vet
eran's certificate. 1t is just a hunt
sng license. Why continue to fool
the veteran? Why not be honest?
NOW lldNG UCSh IAAAOAhA~N
there might possibly be another tve
or six thousand come through. Now
Just link of this, UNRRA wants
10000 and according to the law as
written they can take them all and
there will not be a single one for
anybody in these United States.
Good heavens why not get these
little plots of ground in Europe 60
ing with some Missouri mules OF the
four legged type, some horses and
hand plows, but do not be foolish
enough to let them strip this coun-
try of tractors which they cannot
economically turn between their
hedges and above all let us get the
veterans machinery to go to work
with and amend the Surplus Prop
erty Disposal act, if necessary, so
that when the veterans gets a GER
kificate to purchase he has some
thing instead of a meaningless hunt
ing license"

Early Reports indicate Caldwell
Will Favor So, 900 Bond Issue

Lucien C. Young has been retained
by the Caldwell council as their SOL
icitor in the Forthcoming attempt to
pass a $4,000 bond issue in this
community for the purpose of pur-
chasing new fire truck, the neces-
sary equipment and repair of the
old truck.
Attorney Young stated that he
would meet with the State Tax Com
mission in Columbus this week,
where he will consult with them, re-
lative to the Bond issue.
Young pointed out that the bond
issue, if passed, would only raise the
taxes in Caldwell one mill and ovel
a period of years this slight increase
would never be noticed by the tax
payers.

ducer payments during the flush
season of milk production.
The payments viii be subject to
termination or revision in the event
of any general increases in price
ceilings for milk and its products.
On January 20 the stabilization ad-
ministrator announced that the gen.
eral level of returns to milk produc-
ers would be ma ntained during 1916
at the 1945 level either by subsidy
payment or by increases in price
ceilings should the subsidy be elm
mated. At the same time it was
pointed out that it is the govern
ment's policy to avoid price in
creases where possible by making
termination of subsidies subject to
general stabilization of the cost of
living.
Under the dairy production pay
ment program, payments are made
to farmers on the milk and butter
fat they produce and sell. The pro-
gram has operated since October
1943 to Offset increase dairy produc-
ton costs and to encourage . con-
tinued high rate of milk production.

Return To Marietta

A. C. Daniels, who relinquishes
his duties as cashier of the Farmers
& Merchants bank at the close of
business on Friday, will return with
his family to Marietta, their pre-
vious home.
Severay weeks ago, Mr.. Daniels
announced that he had rendered his
resignation to the board of direc-
tors and it was accepted on March
5, to take effect on March 18th.
1t is expected that the duties of
cashier will be absorbed by the re-
naming personnel of the bank and
no successor will be named for Mr..
Daniels.
Mr.. Daniels has served as cashier
of the local bank for the past five
years.
He and his family are leaving with
the best wishes of their many
friends in this community.

equipment in Caldwell is very acute.
Local insurance men are pointing
out that unless drastic steps are TAX
en-, the state plans to increase the
fire protection rate in Caldwell.
Just recently, several building in
spectors were in Caldwell, and ex-
pressed amazement at the fire traps
which they found near and in the
business district.
One property owner was given a
specified number of days to remedy
the fire trap situation or paw fine
of $25 per day, for every day, over
the deadline. This property is now
being repaired in an effort to meet
the requirements given by the fire
inspectors.
Last Sunday morning, fire leveled
the Lester Galloway farm home in
Osnaburg township, just outside the
city of Canton and burned to death
Barbara Jean Galloway, his 2-month
old daughter. A special fire protec-G
tion tax levy was turned down by
this very township in 1914.
Calls to neighboring East Canton,
Louisville and Canton fire depart
p1ents failed to bring any response
because the departments were pro-
hibited from making the run outside
their corporation lines. But a loss
of life in the Osnaburg township
has aroused the neighbors to a fever
pitch and they are now going all
out for the bond issue.
We must not let this happen in
Caldwell. In checking the records of
the Caldwell council, relative to the
ordinance prohibiting the Caldwell
fire engine from leaving the corpor-
alton limit, it has been found that
such resolution was never passed.
But the late Mayor S. D. Danford
received letter from the Ohio in
spection bureau forbluIirg it to
leave the town and suggesting that
the village of Caldwell go IN with
The other incorporated villages of
the county and purchase a small
outfit so that it could serve the en-
tire county.
But the only village to respond to
the invitation was Belle Valley and
at that time they were contemplate
'ng the purchase of a small truck
for their own use.
The disastrous fire a. Summerfeld
last week did much to bring this
situation to focus and every effort
will be made to convince the taxpay-
ers in Caldwell that it could easily
have happened here.

RED CROSS DRIVE
TO BE LAUNCHED
ON MARCH IS
Quota This Year
Will Be $3,7OO
Says Chairman

Attorney Vernon w. Archer,
chairman of the Red Cross organiza-
tion in this county, announced to-
day that the final plans had been
completed for the drive which will
get under way Friday and continue
until the first of April.
This county's quota has been set
for $1,000 this year as compared to
$1,000 In 1o45. Chairman Archer is
confident that the drive will go over
ard the county as usual will over
subscribe.
Mr.. Archer will be assisted in the
drive by Mr.. and Mrs. Kvte Walken--
shaw, home service officer or direc.
tor and secretary of the executive
board.
AS completely as possible, house
to house canvas is being planned
and every community will be asked
to meet their individual quota. Sol
icitOrs are being named in these var
ious communities and as in the past
will do much toward the success of
this camDaign.
The efforts of the Red Cross in
World War II needs little explain
ing here for they speak for them
selves. Practically every veteran will
tell you, without hesitation, of the
magnificent work which they have
accomplished.
Even more local is the work now
being done by the National Red
Cross organization. immediately fol-
lowing the 100000 fire at Summer
field on March a.
Miss Betty Cole, case worker from
the eastern area headquarters in
Alexandria, Va, is now in Caldwell
and this week has been determining
the immediate needs of the burned
out families. Miss Cole came to
Caldwell from the Pineville, XIV.
mine disaster, where she had been
working since January 2.
Last week an appeal was made
for certain clothing to fit various
members of the families and the res

as well as other local Red Cross
volunteer workers. Mrs. Florence
Archer, who has been active in meet
ing the needs of the stricken fam
lilies, stated today that there was
still a demand for canned goods and
any additional contributions would
be appreciated.
Wednesday of this week, the Red
Cross was sending a building advis-
or to Summerfield and he will work
out plans with the families in erect
ing their new homes. Most of the
cost will be met by the Red Cross.
When disaster hits close to home,
affecting the neighbors and friends
of many years standing, the work
of the Red Cross becomes even more
important.
Remembering the fire at Summer
field and the benefits your son, as
a soldier, might have received on
the battlefronts, give and give gen.
erously this week and next, when
you are contacted by a volunteer
representative of the Red Cross.

An
CLUB YEAR LOOMS
IN NOBLE COUNTY
Agent Brown
Granted Month
Rest Leave

George L. Brown, popular agri-
cultural agent in Noble county for
the last several years, has been
granted a months rest leave and
during his absence Wesley Green of
Cambridge is serving in this capac-
ity.
Mr.. Green is particularly inter
ested in the organization of All
club work in Noble county and now
laying the foundation for live unit
in every township.
In supporting his organizational
drive, Mr.. Green makes the follow
ing statement:
"Noble county parents and COM
nunfty leaders are talking All clubs
this spring. Caldwell business lead
ers are also offering their help. They
know the future of Noble county de-
pends on it's farm boys and girls.
They know too that the All club
program is a fine training for citi-
zenship as we'll as for making a liv-
ing.
According to present prospects
there may be 81 girls All clubs this
year. A goal of IS boys clubs is a
high ambition but not too high for
the 600 or more rural boys of club
age.
'Noble county farmers are trying
to build a reputation for good beef
cattle. 1t is highly important to be
known for outstanding boys and
g rls. A broad All club program
through exhibits at the county fair
and participation in district and
state contests can give the county
an enviable position among south
eastern Ohio counties.
Here is a chance for boys and
girls through united effort in a
cub, to lead the way toward bet
ter Noble county. There is a still
more serious responsibility for par
ents to see that their boys and girls
have a chance to join with others in
planning a fine life in a better COM
munity."
Concluding, Agent Green said, aft
there isn't All club in your COM
munity, a postcard or letter to the
agricultural extension service in
Caldwell will help you get one"

The U. S. department of agricul-
ture, through their local agent, w.
H. Archer. chairman of the triple A
program in this county. announced
today that the dairy production pay
ment program previously announced
through March, 1916. will be con-
tinued through June 80. Rates for
the April-June period will be the
same as those for the corresponding
period last year.
Chairman Archer points out. how
ever. that the payment for January,
February, and March in this county
is not due until April and local
farmers will not receive the benefits
until then.
This action means that 1916 April
payment rates in Ohio for milk will
be co cents per hundredweight, and
for butterfat II cents per pound.
For May and June, the payments
in Ohio will be 25 cents per hundred
weight of milk, and 10 cents per
pound of butterfat. The lower pay
ments during May and June are
made in accordance with the ac-
cepted practice of decreased pro-

ing this part of the county to Seneca

beginning at Coen's church. In ad-
dition to the state appropriation,
total of $4,000 was obtained from
the federal government several years
ago for the construction of this
highway and the fund was set aside
at that time.
1t is expected that this contract
will be let to the highest bidder and
every effort will be made to get
actual construction under way as
quickly as possible.

sentative of the department of con-
servation, Columbus, will meet with
the Noble county commissioners on

The Muskingum Watershed Con-
servancy district also announced that
the Fairgrounds in the district would
be complete with campers cottages,
hunting and fishing facilities, forests
and dams. This site also includes
the present bathing beach, which
