vile, formerly of Quaker City,
was killed instantly Thursday in
a dynamite blast at the Arthur
S. Henry Coal company strip

minor injuries.

At a Marietta Junior Cham
Der of Commerce dinner held
last Monday evening in the
Wakefield hotel, Secrest touched
lightly on the current world stu
alton. He stated that he did not
think financial aid to China would
benefit the people under the pre-
sent Chinese government.
"Chiang Kai-shek's government
is as crooked, dishonest and cor
rupt as any that ever ruled any
nation" he charged. ut must be
cleaned up and made more de-
mocratic before American aid
will achieve it's purpose.
When asked if he favored a CO.
alition government of Nationalist
and some Communists to end the
present war, he replied that
would depend upon how much
voice the Communists were given
and in what positions they were
placed.
In a discussion of problems
which will face the 81st congress,
Mr.. Secrest said he was in favor
of continuing the house commit
tee on un-American activities
and that he would favor legisla-
ton to prevent recurrence OF
such things as theft of govern
| ment documents. This would in
clude a bill similar to the Mundt-
Nixon bill to outlaw the Com
munist party.
The newly elected congressman
also indicated that he would vote
for repeal of the Taft-Hartley
law in order to get rid of some
of its provision. However, he
said a new bill should be passed
to replace it and that the new
bill should contain many provi,
sions now incorporated in the
Taft-Hartley bill.
Although he stated that the Il
million dollar military bulge
and the budget for veterans coulc
not be cut, he did feel that one
of the primary domestic issues i:
the reduction of the nationa
debt. This could be done by ap
plying as much government sur
plus as possible, toward reducing
the debt.
In reverting back to world af
fairs, Secrest said this govern
ment must make the United Ma
tionS work.
1T has failed in all its impor
tant funtcions, but it still is thu
only organization of any kind il
the world where delegates from
all nations can get together. A
long as they can get together
there still is a chance to proven
war" he declared.

Officials Ready To
Take Over Duties

AS previously stated, all new
and old Noble county officials
are ready to take over their new
duties Monday morning, Jan. 3,
when the new terms are official
ly ushered in with 1949.
The turnover in this county
will not see a drastic change in
any particular office and the
functions Of the county will pro-
ceed as in the past.
Immediately after their organ
national meeting, Monday, the
Noble county commissioners will
begin work on their budget for
the year. This entails several
weeks of labor before operating
expenses can be determined for
each and every office.
1t is expected that several ap-
pointments will also be announc-
ed by the commissioners. May
wood Love, of Elk township, is
the new democratic commission
er and Charles Rayner will be
sworn in to succeed himself for
the second term.

HEIDELBERG, Germany-In-
auguration ceremonies at the
new Tegel airfield in Berlin, at
tended by United States, French
and British dignitaries and Ger
man officials of the western Sec
tors, climaxed four months of eff
fort by army engineers to com
plete landing facilities for planes
flying to Berlin on Operation
Vittles. Private Charles J. Shar-
kus, whose next of kin, Mary
Sharkus, lives in Maple Heights,
was one of a handful of Ameri-
cans, who supervised about H.
900 German workers and oper-
ated heavy engineer construction
equipment to rush through COM
pIetion of two additional mile
long runWays at Tempelhof air
field and an entirely new field
at Tegel which was four months
ago a sandy desert area in the
French sector of Berlin, once
used as a Panzer training area
for the notorious Herman Goer-
ing division.
Colonel Reginald Whitaker,
Berlin military post engineer, ex-
pressed pride in the work his
men had done as he announced
that the third runway at Tempel-
hof was complete, marking the
end Of an effort which required
his officers and enlisted men to
work long hours day and night
in good weather and bad SO that
Operation Vittles could have
more adequate landing facilities.
With completion of the airfield
construction in Berlin, Private
Charles J. Sharkus returned to
his permanent station with the

gasoline tax alone. From the" IL
cense plate tax, the municipali-
ties received $2,917.00 and the
county $39,74396, making the
grand total from both sources,
$202, 2,458.17.
During the year, Noble county
is listed at having an automobile
population of 3,770. In other
words, that number of people
now own cars in the county.
Noble county is also listed as
having 465 miles unimproved
highways and $50 miles of i'm
proved roads. There are 1877 miles
of state highways, 225 miles of
county roads and 623 miles Of
township roads
The year 1947 represents the
last year of the three cent gaso-
line tax and the one cent liquid
fuel tax. On January l, l948, the
constitutional amendment, which
was adopted at the November,
1947 elections, became effective.
In December, 1947, the general
assembly in special session re-
pealed the one cent liquid fuel
tax and increased the gasoline
tax from three cents to four cents
per gallon, both effective Janu-
ary l, 1943. Since that date the
revenues from the four cents per
gallon tax on gasoline has been
dedicated exclusively to road and
street purposes, along with all
license fee revenues.
With the additional one cent
gasoline tax in l948, based on
consumption of gasoline in the
first half, revenues in 1948 for
road and street purposes will be
more than 45 per cent above 1947.
Thus the local highway depart
ment, Noble county and its mu-
inequalities and townships are en-
joying by far the greatest amount
of road and street funds in his
tory. In addition, regular federal
grants in aid for highways are
the greatest in history.
1t is interesting to note that
whereas each one cen per gallon
of the gasoline tax produced S10,-
$50, 100000 in 1941, it will produce
approximately $17,700,000.00 in
l948-an increase of 81 per cent
in seven years.
In 1916. Ohio automobile
owners paid motor vehicles taxes,
both state and federal, aggregat-
ing $155, ISL ,975.00. In 1947, this
bill had gone up too S198, $780,
908.00 without any change in the
overall rates.

Congress Faced
With Raiioninq
Of Gasoline, Ii
Air Force Expands

One of the problems with
which the 81st congress will have
to wrestle, when they convene in
January, will be the providing of
fuel for our expanded air force
without raising the necessity of
gasoline rationing. Should ration
ing become necessary Noble
county farmers would be the
first to feel the pinch.
When the Both congress author
lied the 70 group air force -
which Air Secretary Symington
urged over the objections of De-
fense Secretary James Forrestal,
they left ticklish problem for
their successors and particularly
the 81st congress, for completion
of the 70 group Air Force goal
set for 1850.
The new enlarged air force
may have to remain on the
ground unless refinery facilities
are enlarged. Should refinerys
! capable of producing adequate
100 and 1l3 octane gasoline be
set up, it would place another
load on the already limited pc
troleum supplies.
Certain areas of the middle
west and other areas were af-
fected last winter by the curtail-
ment of oil supplies and at the
present time it would appear that
oil shortages will occur again this
winter.
With the armed forces demand
ing more fuel and farm tractors
trucks and automobiles forever
demanding more of the limited
supply it may become necessary
to inaugurate rationing, say de-
fense officials.

Marketing Quota
Set For Tobacco
Over 545 Million
Pounds Set For
Burley Crop

Secretary of Agriculture
Charles F. Brannan today pro-
claimed i949 national market
ing quota for Burley tobacco of
545 billion pounds. The proclana-
ton, made in conformity with the
Agricultural Adjustment Act of
1888, as amended, will result IN
no change in most farm acreage
allotments.
Converting the poundage quota
to acres, on the basis of the l943-
47 average yields, farm acreage
allotments for 1949 will total
about 469,000 acres as compared
with 464,000 acres allotted in
1948. The difference of 5000
acres will be held in reserve for
establishing allotments for farms
upon which no Burley tobacco
has been grown during the past
years and for increasing allot-
ments for farms where the local
committees find the allotmentS to
be iniquitable.
Marketing quotas are in effect
only when approved by two.
thirds Of the producers voting in
the referendum. In referendum
held October Is, 1916, 129,735
(95.9) percent of the 135, 1926 Bur-
ley tobacco growers voting favor
ed marketing quotas for the 1947,
1948 and 1949 crops.
Burley tobacco is grown on
about 285,000 farms principally
in Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri,
North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee,
Virginia, and West Virginia.
