If Dr.. Bortz meant organic

The letter excoriated the
ANA, on its Tooth anniver-

of barring Negro doctors in
Washington and the South be-
cause they are denied admis-

Pious Claptrap
That statement is pure hoe
wash. DR.. Fishbein knows as
well as anyone that there are
other ways of attaining ANA
membership than admission
to a county society. By a spe-
cial dispensation, the ANA
has allowed doctors in the
Army, Navy and U S. Public
Health Service to join the
ANA directly without coun-
Ity society membership. Only
last year the AMA's bylaws
were again amended to allow
doctors in the. Veterans Ad-
ministration to enjoy the
same privilege. The special
provisions resulted from the
fact that these doctors are
often ineligible to join local
societies because of residence
and other requirements.
It would be a simple task,
if the ANA were so minded,
to make the same dispense
ton for Negro direct member
ship by amending the bylaws.
The American Nurses Assn,
faced with the very same pro-
blem two years ago--the inabi-
lily of Negro nurses in Wash
ington and the South to attain
national membership because
of local color bars--provided
for direct ANA membership
for the affected nurses. Moth
ing prevents the ANA from
taking the same step--nothing
but its own ingrained preju-
dice.
It's about time enough AM

ordinary American fair play
got together to eradicate the
ugly blot.

Are Held For
Berne Veteran
Sunday Afternoon
From Caldwell
M. e. Church

Full military rites were ac-
corded Pfc Harold R. Thompson,
81, repatriated veteran of World
War II, from the First Methodist
church in Caldwell, Sunday after
noon, at 400 o'clock.
Rev. O. o. Wilson, pastor of the
church, officiated. The body of
Pfc Thompson was received
Thursday evening by the McVay-
Shilling funeral home from the
U. S. army depot in Columbus. 1t

Caldwell until Saturday when it
was removed to the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Thompson of the Berne commun-
ity.
Mrs. Paul McVay and Mrs.
Chester Hayes sang two vocal Sc
lections: What A Friend We
Have in Jesus" and "God Will
Take Care of YOU, with Miss
Wava Williams at the organ. Rev.
Wilson read a prayer from the
United States army hymnal and
a poem written by 1t. Thorne of
the U. S. army.
Full military rites were in
charge of the local patriotic units
with members of the Summer
field American Legion post serv-
ing as honorary pallbearers.
Pfc Thompson was killed in
action on March 8, 1945, in Ger
many. He was serving with Gen
eral Patton's third army as a
member of the 10th division.
He enlisted in the army

death occurred the following Oc-
tober.

dinner, as well as the services.
Dedicated on July "a, 1898,
Rev. w. G.. Danford was min
lister of the charge and older
members say he was instrument
al in securing contributions and
donations for the new church.
The original Methodist church
of brick structure was located
near the creek bank to the left of
the bridge now leading to the
present church. 1t was severely
damaged by a flood on August
26, 1890, with another flood fol-
lowing in its wake within five
years.
1t was after this second flood
that Rev. Danford took the mat
ter into his own hands and began
working for the present church.
Rev. James Danford, father of
Rev. c. w. Danford, was pastor
of this old church, destroyed by
floods.
Older members of the local
church believe that Rev. Dam
ford is now living at Milan, Ohio.
Trustees at the time the edifice
was constructed were Peter
Smith, Samuel Hesson, Peter
Yost, Irat Smith and Burket
Barnes.
Some of the old members in
cluded: Mr.. and Mrs. Irat Smith,
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Calland,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Lowe, Mr..
and Mrs. John Enoch, Mrs. Mar
tha Penn, j. E. and Mollie Tay-
lor, Cynthia Morris, Laura and

Mr.. and Mrs. James Mcpherson,
Joseph MCPHERSON, Barket and
Sarah Barnes, Mr.. and Mrs. Pet
er Yost, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Iams, Mr.. and Mrs. Erastus Still.
Donations consisting of finan-
cial gifts, work, material, teams
for hauling, all as a labor of love,
went into the construction of this
church, which will observe its
golden anniversary next Sunday
morning and afternoon.

Republican-controlled Both Con-
gress for action on the very
pledges made in their platform.
But they won't get away with
promises, he told the packed con-
vention hall.
He said that he would demand
that the special session of the
congress take action to halt high
prices, to aid education, a nation

tension of social security, funds
for, public power and cheap cleo
tricity, an adequate displaced
persons law to substitute for the
anti-semetic and the anti-catho-
lie law they provided" in the 80th
Congress.
The dramatic climax of the
convention overshadowed the
fight for the presidential nomin-
alton which became rout when
the southerners switched from
Governor Ben Laney, of Arkan-
sas, their announced candidate,
to Senator Richard B. Russell, of
Georgia. The only ballot vote was
263 for Russell and 94712 for Mr..
Truman.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. In a

ably the most dramatic in mod
erns history, President Harry S.
Truman was nominated for a full
term for the presidency. and the
veteran senator, Alben w. Bark
ley, of Kentucky, was named
his running mate to head the
Democratic ticket for the 1948
campaign.
And to feed the flames of a
bedlam-rocked convention hall,
the president broke all prece-

platform pledges at a special
session of the Congress which he
said he would call July 26.
While sweltering delegates
who had battled each other
throughout day in which irate
southerners had staged an open
revolt against the civil rights
plank of the platform, cheered
themselves hoarse, the president
openly challenged his Republic

State Sales Taxes
Special Session
COnvenes Today
At Columbus

Representative George c. Phil
pot of Summerfield will be repre-
senting Noble county, Thursday,
when special session of the Ohio
state legislature convenes on the
call of Governor Thomas J. Her

The Ohio legislators, who have
watched the productive three per

revenue demands, will have an
opportunity of saving Ohio tax
payers $12,000,000 annually.
The special session in Colum-
bus today was called by Gov.
Herbert following conference of
the governor and nine state legis-
lature leaders at the governors
mansion, Saturday afternoon.
The governor announced today
that he called the special session
tor three reasons.
These requests will be:

proximateIy $l2,000,000 by cut
ting out tax on purchase of less
than Al cents.

lations director of the Republican
party, said the sales tax proposal
would, in effect, cut out the first
cent Of the present three per cent
tax. The increased aid to the blind
and to the elderly, said Hoop

lS-Year-Olds
May Volunteer
or One Year
Ranks Opened
Wednesday For
EnliStmentS

The armed forces opened their
ranks, Wednesday, July 81, for
special enlistments of 18-year-
olds.
Under the new selective service
act, Noble county youths can es-
cape the 2l-month draft by vol
unteering for one year, and then
putting in four more years in a
reserve outfit. They cannot be
sent overseas.
The army, navy and air force,
with limited quotas to fill, will
take enlistees on a first come
first served" basis at their regular
recruiting offices throughout the
country.
The arrny's failure to put this
program into effect Immediately
after the draft act became law
midnight, June "a recently
brought criticism from Rep. Ken
meth B. Heating, r., N. Y.
Heating charged the army was
delaying in hopes of swelling its
draft ranks with youths who
turned l9 between the time the
draft act became effective and
the special enlistments started.
He suggested the army back date
its regulations to accept these
youths.
The new order says, however,
that the armed forces will reject
any applicant who has reached
his 10th birthday before midnight
of the day on which he applies.
Applications cannot be made un-
til July 81.
Under the draft act the armed
forces can accept 18-year-old en-
listees up to the following annual
ceilings: army, 10000; navy, &c.
900, including 5000 for the ma
rine corps; and air force, $4,000
During the first month of the
program acceptances will approx
innate: army, 10000; navy, includ-
ing the marine corps, 5000; and
air force 1900.
The army will send its first
groups of l3-year-olds to regular
training centers. Later, however,
it will set up special centers for
them.
The air force, navy and ma
rines will put their l8-year-old
volunteers through the same
training routines as their regular
three-year enlistees.
