County AAA
Program Will
Be Junked Here
Republican Economy
Drive Will Affect
Many Local Farmers

The AAA conservation program in
Noble county, as well as the state
and nation received its death blow
last week, when the House appro-
priations committee, handspring of
the Republican economy drive,
ordered the entire program junked
during the fiscal year 1948.
The committee voted a reduction
of 1881 ,427,742 or 80 percent in the
Agriculture departments operating
funds for the new fiscal year.
The committee said its decision
was geared to the basic philosophy
that more of agriculture's problems
must be solved by individual and
community action rather than
through federal paternalism accom-
panied by grants and subsidies.
This means that farmers in Noble
county will once more take over the
management of their own farms-if
they want to plant five acres of
wheat and only three of oats-no
one will tell them differently. But
they are bound to miss their checks
or payments.
The conservation payments for
l948 and this fiscal year begins July
l were cut from the budget estimate
of $267, ,620.754 to $150,000,000 des-
pite agriculture department protests
that the funds already are obligated.
The committee said farmers are
aware payments depend on the ap-
preparations.
The AAA program in Noble coun-
ty was perfected last fall with Will
liam H. Archer named chairman and
committee elected in each of the Is
townships. At the time the program
was set up, it was one so with the
understanding that it might be
junked and this is exactly what hap
pened.
Headquarters for the program are
maintained in Caldwell in the Otto
J. Lorenz building.
The biggest loss locally will be
suffered by the farmers, who
wanted change" judging from
the results at the polls last Novem-
ber and it comes in this form.
The school lunch funds which
also affects various communities in
Caldwell and Noble county, took a
slash from $4,000, 900 to $45, ,000, 900.
The committee said this was neces-
sary ''to bring the federal govern
ment more firmly within the realm
of Solvency"
Actually, it said the committee
feels the program should be a re-
sponsibility of the various states. 1t
said many states have piled up inn
posing surpluses while the federal
government is wrestling with an
estimated debt of $258, 600, ,OGO, 900.

Columbus, May 28 - OP - The
Ohio House of Representatives is

Community Forest Park Idea All Caldwell Reservoir
Site Bogs Down From Lack OF Cooperation And Interest

The community forest for Cald-
well vicinity could be a good thing
but for the past few weeks the idea
has begged down, the sponsoring
civic organizations are letting the
chips fall where they may and
council members are still lukewarm
to the progressive ideas, which are
necessary, if the project becomes a
reality.
The community park, located at
the site of the reservoir, should not
stop with the planting of some 5000
seedlings, which was done almost
entirely by school children, accord
ing to local citizen, who is deeply
interested in the park becoming a
reality He has expressed at least
five reasons for his belief, which are
given in the following paragraphs.
The year-round highway access
ability is essential for proper main
tenance, fire protection and recrea-
tional use. The first steps have been
taken to improve the road into the
park. The state highway department
is willing to furnish the loader and
the county will haul the 'reddog".
Cooperation of the trustees is also
necessary. This part of the project is
absolutely necessary and perhaps
the most important.
Reforestation of the entire tract
except limited areas for parking and
recreational use should be done as
rapidly as possible. Now that the
first 5000 trees have been set out,
the city should engage in an en-
larged planting program to be fin
anced from city funds.
The project could be made to pay
it's way through the selective har-
vest of trees on a crop basis. The
pine plantations could be thinned
for Christmas trees. The locust trees
now growing on the tract will make
posts for fences, guard rails and

Mr.. Gertler has been registered

local business man found a perman-
ent pharmacist could be secured.

other improvements. The hardwood
trees now growing and to be planted
could be used for q variety of things
by the city. AS a matter of fact,
there is no apparent reason why
electric light poles cannot be har-
vested from the forest area-if it
is properly managed.
Another important benefit from a
good forest cover is the reduced
erosion into the lake. This will ex-

Caldwell.
Dumping of garbage and trash is
still being permitted but it will only
be matter of time until the pit is
filled. In the lease drawn up for the
coal company, the council retained
the right of garbage disposal but If
the pit fills up there is no other re-
course but to look around for new
site.
The state mine inspector says the
pit should be filled for safety pur-
poses and in all probability this viii
eventually happen.
1t is expected that this matter will
at least be touched upon next Tues
day, June 3, when regular monthly
of the City Fathers is held.
Who will supply the answer to the
$500 question is still another matter
but local taxpayers do have a way
of being heard.

$8,00O,0O0 Iu Pirate Gold Is Sought

JOHANNESBURG, (P) Lead authorities here believe there is some foundation for stories that there is a substantial treasure in gold and silver coins hidden on tne lonely island of Tristan do Cunha, but the expedition now being fit ted out in England to search for it will have to face considerable diff faculties.
 The rumor was we'll known on the island" said A. B. CraWforI. of Pretoria, who has just returned from Tristan. "The ancestors of the present islanders knew the old pirate Lambert we'll and knew he had some source of hidden wealth because he often used to disap- pear into the bush and return with money"
 The treasure is reputedly worth S8,000,000 and is supposed to be buried between two waterfalls near the settlement.

seems doubtful. A new layer of administration has been added. A secretary of defense is to be at the whole setup. Separate war and navy departments are retained and a new department of air is created.
 Strange as it may seem, the bill passed by Congress authorizing immediate payment of war veter- ans terminal leave pay bonds, is classed as an economy measure. By paying these bonds now, in- stead of five year hence, it is es- timated the government will save about 6212 million dollars a year. That is because the bonds bear 212 per cent interest and the treas ury can borrow, at a lower rate, the money to pay them now.
