Roe Jacobs Named
Polio Chairman
Succeeds Walter Quick
AS Chapter Head

At the annual meeting of the
Noble county chapter of Infantile
Paralysis organization held the past
week in the office of County Super
intendent H. c. Secrest, Roe Jacobs,
we'll known pharmacist at Ralston's
Drug store, was named chairman for
the ensuing year.
He replaces Walter Quick, who
has served in this capacity for the
past several years. Quick will serve
this next year as vice chairman.
Mrs. Clarence J. Estadt was re-
named secretary of the group and
Edward L. Merry will serve as
treasurer.
Arnold Larson, Ohio representa-
tive of the National Foundation
chapter, was present for this meet
ing and discussed the polio situation
in Ohio, which in some cases COM
munities has become serious.
He stated that Noble county was
one of the very few counties in the
state which had escaped cases of the
disease thus far this year.
1t is the plan of the chapter to
keep ample funds on hand in order
that they might combat any emer-
gency which might arise.
Representative from various sec
tions of the county attended the
meeting.

Small Farmers
Are Favored In
AAA Program
Practices Will
Be AdaDted To
Local Needs

The 1948 Agricultural Conserva-
ton program for Noble county, now
being formulated, will shift more
responsibility to county and COM
munity committeeman and to indi-
vidual farmers for assuring the
most soil and water conservation
with available funds.
Naturally with less assistance
from the federal government we
can expect less conservation, but
every effort should be made to get
the most conservation possible for
the funds we do have, William H.
Archer, chairman of the Noble
county Triple A program, said to-
day.
Under the 1948 program, Noble
county farmers viii have more lee
way in adapting program practices
to local needs. The provision for a
local practice not included in the
national outline will be continued
this year. Last year funds for this
practice were limited to 10 per cent
of all county ALLEGATIONS. This year
the county committee may also sell
ect a practice from the national out
line but which is not in the State
handbook. This will mean two local
practices instead of one.
Small farmers will be favored un-
der the 1948 program for, although
conservation funds have been cut in
half, payments to individual farmers
are limited to $500. This means less
of the county ALLEGATION will be 60
ing to large operators and the avail
able funds will therefore remain to
assist small operators.
Farmers throughout Noble county
should begin now to lay plans for
carrying out conservation practices
under the 1948 program. In gener-
al, assistance through the program
will continue to be about so percent
of the cost of the practice. Farmers
are asked to talk their plans over
with members of the county COM
mittee or see community committee
men, chairman Archer advised.

Ohioana Committee
Needs Local History
Mrs. w. A. Okey Heads
Noble County Unit

The Ohioana library in Columbus,
organized to honor Ohio writers and
to preserve the story of Ohio, Ohio
ans, and all regional traditions, is
making special pleas for county his
tories.
This library, founded by Martha
Kinney Cooper, has been developed
wholly by citizens of Ohio, never
having been subsidized by the state.
All of the books in the library have
been gifts.
With the increasing demand for
county histories the library is MAX
ing an appeal to local counties to
complete the collection. About half
the county histories are now in the
library. The library's goal is to have
one copy of every county history
that has been published. The donors
name will be placed on the book
plate and he will be recognized as a
patron of the library, receiving an
invitation to all meetings.
If you have a history of Noble
county that you would like to place
where it will serve many people,
get in touch with Mrs. w. A. Okey,
Ohioana chairman of Noble county,
or write to Mrs. Depew Head, exec
utive chairman, 1109 State Office
building, Columbus.
The. Ohioana committee for this
county is making an effort to have
every writer and artist represented
in this collection.
If you have written book or
have an original poem in print,
please get in touch with Mrs. Okey
chairman for this county.

Noble County Still Has Balance OF
S.l7O In Veterans Housing Program

Noble is one of two counties in
the state of Ohio that has furnished
only one unit for veteran, accord
ing to report released today from
Columbus.
County commissioners throughout
the state during the first six months
of this year provided 906 housing
units under the state veterans hous-
ing program.
Noble county was listed as having
received $12,670 and has provided
only one unit. 1t has a balance of
$7,170 remaining with no new units
under consideration.
1t will be remembered that the
local commissioners purchased the
Richard Newton property for the
occupancy of Gerald Ramage and
family, popular coach of the Cald-
we'll Redskins.
Under the program, for which the
legislature appropriated $6,000,000 in
August, 1916, $40 additional units
we're under construction and plans
were underway for 302 more.
The money was provided by the
legislature to county commissioners
O1l SiPpAISdbAOAI LII q POph1dbAO1A Adt1O
based on the 1910 census.
Twenty-Five counties of the 81
drawing the money still had not pro-
vided housing units as of July l..
Two of the counties furnished but
one housing unit each while 80 coun-
ties built ten or more units each, ac-
cording to the report.
Monroe county received $16,191;
has completed nine units; has none
under construction and has $685. left.
Washington county received $37-
861 from the fund, has provided 13
units and has a balance of $11, 1867
with no new units planned. Two are
under construction.
Morgan county received $12,357
and has provided six units with a
balance of $325 remaining and no
units under construction or planned.
In this particular district, the
Noble county commissioners are
tagging far behind the neighboring

meeting, Monday afternoon, apz
pointing Miss Helen Johnson in a
temporary capacity as head of the
Noble county welfare department.

Discrepancies in the states new
strip mine control act which is now
on the official law books and which
affects practically every section of
Noble county have the lawyers in
the attorney generals office in a
dither.
The bill was rushed through to
passage at Gov. Thomas ]. Herbert's
insistence during the closing days
of the Legislature in June. In the
hustle of last minute changes, the
bond required per acre for strip
mining of coal was reduced from
5000 to $100 in one instance but left
at 5000 in a later section.
One opinion already has been
written and discarded in an attempt
to compromise the differences. The
full office of Atty. Gen. Hugh S.
Jenkins now is considering the
problem.
Fortunately, although the act be-
came law last Monday, it does not
60 into effect until Jan. l because
of delay clause in the act itself.
