Marcf, Of Dimes
Campaign Lags

The Noble county March of
Dimes campaign is tagging far
behind the figures Of last year,
according to a statement issued
today by Chairman O. o. Wilson.
Only $283.99 has been received
to date, said Chairman Wilson,
and this includes contributions
from the school children. This
amount, as compared to 1948, is
far below normal.
Approximately $1,200.00 was
raised during the last campaign
and it is hoped that this amount
can at least be duplicated.

RECEIVES FINE

James w. Allen was fined ten
dollars and costs by Mayor Sam
Secrest, Saturday, when he was
picked up by the state highway
patrol for having his coal truck
improperly loaded.
According to Mayor Secrest the
patrol barracks in Cambridge
received many complaints con-
cerning the coal which falls from
local trucks onto the highway
thereby endangering traffic. The
resulting action has led to the ar
rest of numerous violators and all
coal truck drivers are warned to
load their trucks in such man
ner as to eliminate the traffic
hazard.

Philpot Acts On
Mines Committee
Plans To Increase
Mineral Research

Commerce, Representative C. c.
Philpot, as a member of the
mines committee is seeking an
additional. appropriation for the
state geological survey group
which will provide the noces-
sary funds for completing the
study Of geological structure
and resources of the state.
The series Of meetings held
during the past months in Cald-
well advocated the Importance
Of such action on the part of
the state legislature in order
that the true story of the po-
tential reserves held in this
area may be a matter of record.
Acting thru the Chamber of
Commerce, local interests have
been active and are endeavoring
to promote some form Of indus
trial development along the
fashion of extracting gas and
Oil from shale, a mineral pro-
duct that Noble county shares
in abundance.
John H. Melvin, state geolo-
gist Columbus, who was present
at the last meeting, stated then
that the state of Ohio was un-
able to carry out an extensive
working program in the re-
search department because of
lack of funds. Mr.. Melvin said as
a result of this condition, many
of the counties were untouched
as far as getting the necessary
data on the mineral reserves
available.

3. Keep windshield and windows
clear of snow and ice on the out
side, fog and frost inside. Check
your defroster and wipers.
4. Use tire chains when snow or
ice conditions prevail. They reduce
braking distances for cars and
trucks from 40 to 20 per cent, and
provide "go" traction often needed
to start or climb hills.
5. Carbon monoxide poisoning
is dangerous! Never warm your
car up in closed garage. Check
exhaust system and floor boards for
leaks. Manifold type heaters should
not be used unless frequently ex-
amined for leaks and other defects.
6. Good tire treads are desirable
beacuse they improve stopping on
wet pavement, but do not depend
on only new treads to help on ice
or packed snow.

SAFETY HINTS
FOR DRIVING
Safety Council Cites Major
Factors Causing Winter Ac-
cidents; Prevention Hints
KEEP SPEED DOWN

The two major factors produc-
ing winter accidents are: 1 In
adequate traction. 2 Reduced WIS.,
ibility. Strip that down TO plain
terms and it simply means: 1 Slip
ping into trouble. 2 Running into
trouble you can't see.
What to do to prevent the first:
See that brakes are kept equalized
and in good condition. Keep that
speed down low enough to stop
safely. Get the feel of the road
surface before going far. Slow
down well in advance of intersec-
tions and icy roads. When you
stop use a pumping action on the
brake pedal.
What to do to prevent the Sec
ond: See that the windshield wip-
ers are kept in good operating con-
dition. Keep headlights in proper
focus and not aimed too high. If
you don't have defrosting device,
drive with a little ventilation in
your vehicle frost shields on nom
breaking transparent materials are
effective where their use is prac-
tical.) Carry a putty knife or
similar schaper to clear ice off the
outside of windshield and windows.
Keep outside rear-view mirrors as
clear as possible. And for the pro-
lection of others as well as your
self be sure tail-lights are in oper-
alton, and carry flares and fuses.

Farmeretie Complains Because
DrilIer Strikes Oil on Land

FRISTOE, MO.-When a well

as, 73, that he had struck oil on her
farm, she objected.
"All / want is good drinking wa
ter" she said, land you can't get
that from an oil WE'LL"
Bill Barnes, the driller, related
that he hit pocket of oil while re-
drilling water well on Mrs.
Thomas farm, near this west-cen-
trail Missouri town.
Mrs. Thomas ordered the well
sealed With concrete and another
one drilled nearby. In drilling the
second well, Barnes reported finding
a similar rock formation and a
slight coating of oil on the water
at 102 feet. Mrs. Thomas told him
not to go any deeper. She said she
was afraid he might strike oil again.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH
Services Announced for Whining

The subject of the lesson sermon

mington, the Christian Science So
ciety, Grange Hall, Milford and the
Christian Science Society, v. I. A.
Building, Rehoboth Beach, Sunday,
January 9, 1949, will be "Sacra-
ment." Golden Text: Psalms 51:10.
Create in me a clean heart, o God;
and renew right spirit within me.
A Bible citation from the Lesson
Sermon is: II Corinthians 6:14, IL,
is; IL Corinthians I'll. Be ye not
unequally yoked together with un-
believers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteous-
ness and what communion hath
light and darkness? -. Wherefore
come out from among them, and be
ye separate, saith the Lord, and
touch not the unclean thing; and
1 viii receive you, And will be a
Father unto you, and ye shall be
my sons and daughters, saith the
Lord Almighty. -. Having there
fore these promises, dearly beloved,
let us cleanse ourselves from all
filthiness of the flesh and spirit,
perfecting holiness in the fear of
God. A correlative passage from
the Textbook Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy is: (p. 272, 451).
1t is the spiritualization of thought
and Christianization of daily life,
in contrast with the results of the
CHASTITY farce of material existence;
it is chastity and purity, in con-
trast with the downward tendencies
and earthward gravitation of SEN
sualism and impurity, which really
attest the divine origin and opera
ton of Christian Science. :. Chris
tian Scientists must live under the
constant pressure of the apostolic
command to come out from the
material world and be separate.

PLANNING FOR
GOOD HEALTH
State Board of Health Recon-
mends Taking Personal In
ventory; Improve Habits
FOR HEALTH, HAPPINESS

Every January 1st, thousands of
people feel obligated to make New
Years Resolutions, and very likely
those resolutions will be the same
as those they made last year, ex-
cept that this year they sincerely
intend to keep them. 1t is a good
idea, believes the State Board of
Health, to pause after the Christ
mas rush to take personal inven-
tory, and a resolution made-and
kept-to improve ones living hab-
its may well be one of the most
important resolutions of 1949 from
the point of view of the persons
health and happiness.
The human body needs daily care
to insure its running smoothly, and
If one denies it the needed fresh
air and exercise, the eight hours
of sleep required each night, pamp-
ers it by eating palate-teasing
rather than nutritious foods, and
neglects the simple rules of health,
the results may well be low de-
gree of physical efficiency.
Too many adults are satisfied
with fair health and, if they are
not definitely i'll, think that they
are well. At this time of year,
many people are having colds, suf-
fering from over-fatigue or are
just not feeling up to par. 1t is
wise to have a health check-up and
do something about any of these
conditions, says the State Board of
Health, before nasty weather, a
germ and rundown condition
conspire to cause illness.
The winter months last year in
Delaware yielded reports of 103
deaths from pneumonia, and seven
deaths from influenza in the state.
OF course the maintenance of
health requires a reasonable
amount of attention at all times,
but if you are prone to make reso-
Iutions for 1949, the State Board
of Health makes the following sug-
gestions. 1 Eight hours sleep every
night; Fresh air and exercise
every day. A good breakfast
every morning and well-balanced
lunch. Fruits, vegetables and
milk in meals every day. 5 Ample
proseetion again - wsatAer- 8
A physical fchecRlUp at least once
a year and a dental examination
every six months.

MORE MISHAPS
DURING WINTER
Safety Council Cautions Mo-
t0rist To Be Alert At
The Wheel
GIVE HELPFUL RULES

BE a winter winner against
traffic accidents!"
That's the advice of the Della
ware Safety Council when driving
in rain, sleet, or snow during the
heavy storm season. With more
vehicles on the street today than
ever before, the Council cautions
every motorist to be especially
alert at the wheel and have proper
equipment to cope with winter con-
ditions. According to the National
Safety Council, accident rates in
crease from "a to SO per cent dur
ing ice and snow months.
The Council urges all driving
members of this state to study en-
dorsed methods of reducing acci-
dents and fatalities caused by poor
visibility and other hazards of win
ter storms.
The National Safety Council,
through testing and scientific re-
search, has prepared the following
rules designed to help all of us win
the battle against traffic hazards
of winter.
1. Get the 'feel' of the road sur
face when you start out. Test brak-
ing and acceleration ability when
no other cars >are near and before
you are faced with an emergency.
2. Reduce speed when road sur
faces are snowy or icy so you can
stop in time. Remember at only 20
miles per hour it takes 4 to IL
times more distance to stop on
snow or ice than on dry concrete.
