For locating an object the
science of photography is used.
There are several methods by
which surveyors can measure
horizontal angles between shore
objects which have already been
determined by angulatlon.
Many objects can also be picked
from aerial photos which the bu-
reau takes.
Another method is by radio

Mundt Finds English Getting Along

(Wllam Fulton special dispatch to The Chicago Trbune
 "The English people individually are getting along lot better than their government.
 This the way Rep. Karl Mundt (R-S D., chair of committee Investigating political economic and propaganda conditions in Europe, summed up his impressions of the situation in the British Isles
 Here in England the problem of finances is one fac ing the government rather than the people, said Mundt "Theres little actual distress among the people, They all have jobs, families supported, and they're getting plenty to eat though the diet not varied
 "Oh, of course, there's lot of grousing and grum- bling but that's to be expected don't think the people are turning to Communism"
 Mundt, who has made two other trips to England since the war; gave his views following 2O0mile car tour through the countryside and round of interviews with government officials.
 "I was surprised on the trip to find who would say he had voted for the Labor government continued Mundt 'The gamor has worn off the naturalization program and the socialist planners will have to produce real results in short order they be out their

 Old timers who remember the crystal sets of radio know cats whisker is tiny wire finger It tickles mu- sic out of the crystal Don't ask why but some radars had whiskers too. Their points had to be contoured not too sharp too blunt
 Every stunt in the book failed to shape em properly until the engineers remembered old trick of the ra- do hams They dipped the points in chemical bath and dissolved just the right amount of metal with cleo trc current It sounds easy, but there catch to it.

Individual Can Help Make JUN. Succeed

(Daily Argus-Leader) ASSUMPTION OF INDIVIDUAL responsibility must play an important part in success of the United Nations, rounding out it's second year of existence
 Gov George T. Mickelson of South Dakota manifest y had this thought in mind when, in proclaming Sep tember 2 to 20 United Nations Week. he called upon South Dakota civic bodies to join with schools and other groups n helping to enlighen ctizenry by empha sizing the importance of individual cooperation and participation in the United Nations movement"
 Not all that the United Nations set out to do has been accomplished by far and judgments of this great international agency censorious in the extreme It's failures however must be considered lessons for the future rather than for scrapping what still the best alternative to goba chaos and anarchy There can be no turning back to the soationism in which we once found deceptive of comfort and security Now is the time to ascertain just how the U N has failed erred and how it can perhaps succeed.
 we conclude that there is good substitute for the United Naons John Foster Dulles recently wrote in the Christian Century However that does not mean that should be satisfied with everything precisely it is. On the contrary, there is much to be done"
 Following out Gov. Mickeson's recommendation we can make serious effort to understand what the United Nations is and what it can be- We must make fair allowance for the handicaps under which it has functioned For only two years of trying work too much

Tactics That Hurt Labor

(Rocky Mountain NeWs)
 THE ROWDY AND INSULTING picketing of Sena- tor Taft on the Pacific Coast plainly has backfired
 Instead of harming it's object it has created nation wide sympathy and respect for who could meet such tactics with calm good humor
 It is equally plain that though carried on in the name of organized labor these tactics did not spring from the desires of American unionsts The l5 million union members in the vast majority, just decent and fair-minded any other American citizens.
 They may disagree with Senator Taft and his views and many of them do-but few of them would wish to deprive him of the American light to be heard
 This use of picket lines of political action and attempted ntm daton is perversion of of or ganzed labors proper and lawful weapons. It is in spred and engineered by Communists and their fellow travelers-the same of people who picketed the White House in behalf of Hitler up to the day Hitler turned on his ally and attacked Russia.
 These growing abuses of picketing part of the spirit which, in certain European countries, makes dissenting vote matter of peril violence death The spirit which permits only party in Russia The spirit which, in Bulgaria. has led to the hang ing of the leader of the opposition political party They are just little taste of what the Communists have in mind for Amerca-come the revolution.
 They should emphasize to American labor the fact that union and above all other citizens, are being injured by Communist infiltration.
 And that organized labor has more to gain than any other group through stopping the misuse of it's name and it's institutions by people whose sole interest in unionsm tool to do the work of foreign master

should be expected in the way of results Any of illustration prevailing today should be dispeed by common determination to make the United Nations do we'll everything that is within its power The best of machines cannot function unattended by alert human beings and the United Nations is exception to this irreVocable rule.

SHALL AMERICA FOLLOW?

llO COullllltS nave SO quIShiy iC- stored their productivity without damage to standards of llvlng as have Canada and the United States. These two countries have restored productivity to the l94O- Al level, and in many industries have surpassed th;s level. l. is nc coincidence that a recent New York Times 22-nation survsy showed that except in Canada and the United States, the trend iS toward government management of industry.
 ,-ountries that are exchanging their freedoms for government controls are not making good postwar records. In general, they are the countries that are crying loudest for help from outside. Those nations which desire to turn everything over to the govern ment for complete control and management are the very coun- tries that are slipping backward. Still, the trend is in that very di- rection, toward government man. agement.
 Public Must Decide The Times declared: :'The pros poets for the survival of the com petitive free enterprise system outside the Western Hemisphere seem covered with uncertainty in view of the growth of nationaliza- ton under various forms of So- c;alism and communism. The ten dency is apparently toward mod crate exercise of government con- trols in Britain, the western areas of the Continent and the Pacific, and toward extreme application of government control in the Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe" Shall America ultimately fol- low this trend? In my opinion, the public in this country has not yet decided that issue. There are some voices crying loudly for govern ment management. Even our At torney General points his finger at American industry and accuses it of being responsible for high prices. Political maneuvers may please critical people and get votes, but in making industry un- popular the way is paved for re- placing our free enterprise sys- tenn.
 Best System
 As an educator, I favor tha. sys- .em which will pro yIde the high est standards of living for the 1 masses of the American people. If government management oi our industries would provide higher wages, more productivity and greater purchasing power for each dollar spent, then certainly 1 would be in favor of it. Actually, our system of private enterprise has put America far ahead of other nations that have tried any thing else.
 There are other dividends Of tered by the American Way. We Lave freedoms. We can work a, what we please, where we choose. We can speak our minds, asserob!e in groups as we care to. These freedoms and other liberties we did not have under the control of despotic and dictatorial govern ments in previous centuries. Why,

Noble County Has
2,Ol6 Farm Owners
Farm Tenancy Lowest
In Over Sixty Years

Columbus, Aug. 27-More Noble
county farmers are acquiring title
to the land they till, according to a
report issued by rural economists
at the Ohio agricultural experiment
station.
Since the last agricultural census
in 1945 when a total of 81 percent
of Noble county farms were oper-
ated by tenant farmers, the number
of purchases of farm land by ten
ants and farm workers has tended
to increase while that of non-far-
mers decreased.
Farm tenancy in Noble county
has varied from 147 percent in 1880,
1876 in 1900, 142 in 1920 to I4.7 in
1910. In 1945 there were 2,016 farm
operators in the county, and of these
1,707 were full owner operators,
las part owners, one hired farm
manager and 153 tenants.
The decline in farm tenancy to
the lowest level in so years has been
due to the prosperous economic
conditions during the past seven
years.
The growing tendency to own
land coupled with a relatively low
mortgage indebtedness supports the
opinion that the financial distress
existing in the 1905 can be avoid
