Deadline Near
For Payment Ut
ACP In County
All Applications
Must Be Filed
Before Dec. 81

December 81, 1947 is the final date
for filing 1916 applications under
the agricultural conservation pro-
gram, according to William II.
Archer. chairman of the Noble
county organization.
The 1947 practices must be COM
Melted by December 81 and farmers
should make their farm report by
that date, pointed out the chairman.
Noble county farmers, VINO nave
not yet voted, should plan to nave
their ballot in the county office not
later than 4:30 p. m, Saturday, De-
cember 13. ..---
Newly elected committeeman are
being named this week IN each
township and the results of the
election will be tabulated next Mon
day morning at the main office OF
the ACP in Caldwell.
All farmers who are eligible tC
sign the 1916 ACP applications in
Guiding the supplemental should dc
so promptly. =, a., =,
practices must be completed IN thell
entirety in order to qualify for pay
ments. For instance, if limestone OF
other materials were approved tol
a farm, such materials must actually
be spread on the field before the
deadline date.
"Time is running short" com
mented the committeeman, $50 with
lust a little less than three weeks
to 90, it's our hope that every
farmer who hasn't already com
pleted his approved work Will ex'
tend every effort to do so within
the next few weeks. All OF US Wan'
every bit of conservation that car
he accomplished in the county, fol
whether we are city folks or farm,
ers we would all be in bad shape i
this land of ours should go stale. It's
because of this general dependence
of all people on our land resource:
that the ACP program has beer
estahlished-that the federal gov
ernment has assumed some respon'
sibility in encouraging and assisting
Individual farmers in carrying ou'
good conservation practices on thell
farm"
Chairman Archer also gave assur,
ance that all minimum assistance
payment commitments would be
made in full. "In spite of some re
duction of funds made by the pas
Congress-" he said, I'VE in Ohio ar'
still in a pretty good condition fol
this year. We expect to meet al
minimum payment pledges IN tul
(where applicable) and we hope
also to be able to make some addi
tional payment to those farmers
who complete over and above the
required units of approved conserv'
alton work. This is based on the
idea of taking the money that some
few farmers fail to earn and dis
tributing it, in part, to those farmer:
who carry out more than the re.
quired amount of work" 9 As Asa, a con, On
cluding comment, Mr.. Archer re,
minded farmers that under present
plans payments should be much
lower for I948. 'It's, therefore, the
wise policy to take full advantage
of this years program"

Sarahsville High
School Students
Visit State Capital
Only Group To
Be introduced
To Legislature

Nineteen students of the SarahS-
vile senior and junior classes in
Center township have the diStinc-
ton of being the only school group
introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives during the session in Co.
lumbus.
The students visited Columbus
last Thursday, during the special
session of the Ohio Assembly and
in the afternoon were introduced by
Representative George c. Philpot

round of applause from the solons.
The students were accompanied
by Clarence Carter, superintendent
of the Sarahsville schools, Mrs. Ruth
McGinnis, who is their class advisor
and James Kirkbride, driver of the

The day was one of many sur
prises for each and every one of the
students, including tour of the
state house, several outstanding
business stores and the Ohio state
penitentiary.
To top previous honors, they Wis
tied the Senate in session and were
introduced by Senator Shurtz, re-
presenting this county. They also
met Senator Ferguson, who like
wise represents this county in the
upper state house.
Perhaps the high light Of the trip
for many was the visit to State
Treasurer Don Ebright's office
where each of the students held q
million dollar bond.
For short time, Governor
Thomas J. Herbert acted as host tc
the group and they all met their
chief executive.
Secretary of State Edward j
Hummel, was their final state host
and while in this office, they saw
a copy of Representative Philpot's
| bill, No. ATT, with the signatures oi
the speaker of the house and the
lieutenant governor.
Following an excellent dinner in
the capital, the group returned to
their homes in Sarahsville, having
acquired vast knowledge of the
law making bodies.
The group included: John Dudley

Emerson Hannahs, Sarah Finley
Leila Cutler, Wilma Mendenhall
Mildred Miley, Ruth Polling, Betty
Russell, Betty Stasko, Paul Warner

NEWS FOR VETS

Disabled veterans eligible for
training under Public Law 16 were
cautioned today by the Veterans A0-
ministration not to enter the train
ing outside the area covered by the
VA Regional OTNe. which is super
vising their training without receiv-
ing prior approval from that VA Re-
gional Office.
j. G.. Brueckmann, VA Director,
Vocational Rehabilitation and Edu-
cation, said that an alarming nunp
Der of disabled veterans are trans
ferring into and out of Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Delaware for
training under Public Law 16 with
out VA approval. This practice, he
said, causes confusion of their re-
cords and will result in delay Of
benefits. The veteran may also ac-
| quire expenses, such as transporta-
ton, which cannot be reimbursed tE
the government.
1t is the policy of the VA, .Brueck-
mann pointed out, to enter a dis
abled veteran into training in his
home locality if possible so that his
readjustment toward civilian job
objective may be developed under
the most favorable conditions. Ano-
ther reason for this policy, he said,
was to prevent any disruption in
the economic conditions in a given
locality 'Brueckmann explained that
survey conducted by the VA re-
veals that several trades have
reached a saturation point in the
number of trainees that can be as
simulated for gainful employment
in certain localities. The VA cannot
accept any veteran in these local.
ties for training in any of these
fields under Public Law 16.
! Veterans entitled to training un-
der that law and accepted for train
ing in an institution outside the
area in which they reside must
await approval from the VA before
they can be entered into training
under the government program
This may be done by written re-
quest to the VA, Brueckmann SAID
He pointed out that in any transfer
made for the convenience of the
veteran, transportation is not pay
} able by government.
