WISE or
OTHERWISE
By z. o. BOND

BY the time you learn the les
sons of life you're too old and
weak to walk to the head of the
class.
Morning is the time of day
when the retiring generation
rises and the rising generation
retires.
An old-timer is one who can
remember when an "un-coopera-
tive" child was taken to the
woodshed instead of to a psy-
chiatrist.
Many a wife has found that
hugging a husband is the best
way of getting around him.
Be sure your sins will find you
out-in your body, in your char
acter, in your conscience and in
your children.
To live IN anticipation is better
than possession.
Poise is the art of raising the
eyebrows instead of the roof.

labor the programs Oh our ecoiioihie
planners.
Certainly we want better health
and medical help for all; certainly
we want equal rights and equal
opportunities; certainly we want
fair prices for farmers and con-
sumers alike; certainly We want to
improve the conditions of all work
ing men and women.
As a matter of fact, the free
system of America has brought
the American people closer to
these goals than any other nation
in the history of the world.
Our workmen receive $50 week
on the average while the British
workmen receive $23 a week. Yet,
in Great Britain they have had all
the government controls which the
President demands and all the well
fare measures administered by a
labor government committed to
socialism, fundamentally hostile to
the idea of freedom in the develop
ment of business.
DON'T think most people realize
l. the revolutionary character of
the program which Mr.. Truman
urges to achieve these goals. He
has asked in the Spence bill for
power to fix prices, to fix wages,
to cont..s! distribution and the
necessary rationing that goes with
it, and to put the government into
any business it desires to enter.
In the Brannan plan he asks for
complete power to impose produc-
tion controls on farmers. The gov
ernment would tell farmers how
many acres of wheat, corn, and soy
beans they can raise; how many
hogs they can sell; how many beef

NEW YORK
BY Glen Wilkinson

Bob Hope gives an excellent
performance in "The Great Low
er" which is playing at the Par
amount. However, the picture is
in no way as good as "The Pale
face. Hope is supported by
Rhonda Fleming, Roland Young
and Roland Culver.
Bob gets involved with a MUIR
derer and some European
royalty and in the end he almost
gets murdered himself but he
gets things so confused that the
murderer is caught.
Claude Thornhill and his or
chestra are appearing on the
stage at the Paramount. Mr..
ThornhilPs orchestra is not the
fine orchestra he had few years
ago when he recorded Concerto
for Two. In fact, it is only av-
erage.
Sarah Vaughn is appearing
with Mr.. Thornhill. The only
reason one would sit through her
singing is because they came in
after the picture had begun and
wanted to see the conclusion of
the movie.

Gaping the
CAPITAL
With BEN HAYES

week with DR.. c. T. Okey, gradu-
ate of Caldwell high school class
of 1888.
The fall following his gradua-
ton, he taught school on Buffalo
Run, east of Dexter City. He
boarded in Dexter with Dexter
Sullivan. Salary was $500 per
month. Most of the pupils were
pretty bright; these DIR. Okey
does not remember. One girl,
large and gawky, was on the stu
pid side. DR.. Okey remembers
her.
"One day l asked her to pro-
nounce 'shingle'," DR.. Okey
said. 81 spelled it several times.
She didn't have the least idea
what it was. So I said: What do
you put on your roof to keep out
the rain?'
"Her face lighted up with a big
smile and she said: Clap
boards!
From Dexter, the Caldwell
druggists son moved on south
ward to Marietta College. He
formed lifelong friendships with
members of the Dawes and Nye
family. After his graduation in
1892, he came to Columbus to at
tend the old Startling Medical
College. By 1896 he was doc
tor, ready to hang out his clap
board.
He was at Mt. Carmel Hospital
four years, then established a Of
flee of his own at Fourth and
Oak streets. In 1912 he built the
Okey building, State street and
Grant avenue, which he still
owns. He lives there and has his
office there. This is but a few
steps from Grant Hospital.
F. C. Okey was Dr. Okey's
father. His initials stood for
"Freeborn Garrettson," equally
detested by the bearer. The
Okeys had come down the Ohio
river and settled in Monroe
county. F. G. Okey became in
terested in Noble county oil very
early. He figured Caldwell would
become a boom town so estab-
lished drug store where Gill
lespie's is now. Mr.. Okey ran
it for 35 years.
If / remember correctly DR..
Okey said he was born in Cald-
we'll. Their home was just behind
the store, facing south. They had
barn in the south end of town
where Cliff (now DR.. Okey) kept
a ferret,
A man named Dave Wheeler
had come into the drug store and
given Mr.. Okey a dog. Cliff i'm
mediately owned the dog and it
was a good one. With the dog
and ferret, he used to catch
plenty of rabbits in the woods
south of town by sending the
ferret into holes. ; ~ 50
DR.. Okey recalls Liss Grimes,
the Seamstress, and how she once
carried a splint- t-bottomed basket
about town. He frequented the
tow railroad stations, and was
completely welcome at the Mar
row-Gauge one for Forrest Okey,
a relative, was the agent.
Trainmen would leave copy
of The Police Gazette with For
rest occasionally, and these Cliff
would borrow. (The Gazette con-
tanned very hotsy-totsy pictures
in those days, DR.. Okey said)
One time he had three Gazettes
hidden in a spare pair of pants;
his mother found them. Mrs.
Okey was alarmed and carried
them to Cliffs father.

drive for funds will begin in Garrett
county on March l, it was announced
this week by the local committee.
The slogan this year is you too can
help the Red Cross"
Although no figures are available
yet on the county's quota, supplies
and necessary information for the roll
call have been mailed to all com
munity workers in the county by
Mrs. Paul b. Naylor, county fund
chairman.
According to the annual report
submitted by Mrs. f. Z. Tower, chap
ter chairman, for every dollar re-
tanned by the county chapter from
last years contributions the eXpendi-
lures were as follows: Home service,
IS percent; nursing service, 10 per-
cent; first aid water safety, 20; local
disaster relief, 5; junior Red Cross,
3; and communication, II.
The various categories were eX-
planned by committeeman. Home

emergency hospital transportation;

assistance; first aid, water safety for
the Learn to Swim" program; dis
aster relief, for storm across a sec
ton of the county and for needy
families burned out; Junior Red Cross,
for subscriptions to the junior Red
Cross magazine for every school in
the county; communication, for trans
ferring emergency information, etc.
1t was emphasized that the local
chapter, unlike many chapters in
highly ndustrializcd areas, has never
had any sizable reserve upon which to
draw and must depend upon subscrip-
tons from year to year for its work
ing funds.
Further information about the local
activities of the organization will
follow throughout the campaign.
