NEWS FOR WAR VETERANS .

VA branch office at Columbus,
today offered five ''helpful hints"
for veterans who wish TO rein
state lapsed National Service Life
Insurance term policies. They
are:
l. If possible, the policy should
be reinstated before it has been
lapsed longer than three months.
In most cases, early reinstate
ments make qualifying physical
examinations unnecessary.
2. All questions on the rein
statement application should be
answered. Failure to do so means
a delay in regaining insurance
protection.
3. The application must be
dated. If not dated, it is not valid.
4. The application must be
mailed to VA within five days.
If the postmark is later than five
days of the date on the applica-
ton, a new form will be re-
quired. III
5. Two monthly payments re-
quired for reinstatement must ac-
company the application. With
out premium payments, VA cam
not reinState the insurance.

Interest rates on G.. I. loans will
be kept at four per cent for the
present, Veterans Administrator
Carl R. Gray announced the past
week.
The last Congress authorized
the VA to increase the rate to
four and a half per cent with
the consent of Treasury Secretary
John w. Snyder, But the VA ad-
ministrator said that after con-
sultation with government lead
ers, veterans and lending institu-
tions, he had decided against
making the increase now, al
though he would review the sit
uation later should economic
conditions indicate the need for
such a review"
II have reached the conclusion
that an increase in rates would
not be in (veteran's) best inter-
ests as the evidence fails in in
dicate that an increased rate will
make more houses available to
veterans" he stated.

THE 1949 COUNTY BUDGET

This week and for several to come, the Noble county
miSsoners headed by haywood Love of Elk township will
begin work the l949 budget in order that the political
subdivisions of the county might function properly during
the coming year.
The budget headache. Due to the rising of prac-
tcay item needed to the county, the commits
sioners must needs raise certain funds.
Probably the best shape of any the road and bridge
fund the monies needed to give the highways the county
proper attention. There will be ample for this purpose in
1949
But the deputies in every office will be asking for
raise 1t will be remembered that the head officials
raise this year and the deputies feel they same
boat They want raise, too.
Whether they will get remains to be SEEN On general
principals they should have it. But the commissioners may
feel that the budget will not stand it,
And so it goes Each office must be studied carefully
and the budget drawn up accordingly.
Only when completed will the people get general idea
of what gigantic task it has been.

THE AMERICAN WAY By George Peck
Those Millions of Slackers

Let me say right quickly that
this article is not addressed to
you, gentle reader. Full we'll I
know that you are one of those
good citizens who goes to the
polls at each election to exercise
your American privilege of vot-
ing for candidates of your own
selection. You fully appreciate
just how fortunate you are to be
citizen of a country which af-
fords you the sacred right of the
secret ballot.
Rather, this article is directed
to the many American citizens
who, eligible and qualified to
vote, failed to do so last Novem-
Der 2. Estimates vary as to just
how many of these slackers there
were but roughly just about half
Seen their duty and done it,.
Yes, | can hear you mutter that
you just cannot understand the
ingratitude of the other half to
those stalWarts who offered up
their lives (many Of them gave)
to secure for all Americans this
precious right to vote.
Undoubtedly, a few of these
non-voters had legitimate ex-
cuse, but most of them Simply
were shirking their duty as good
citizens. Yet, these indifferent
citizens, when confronted with
their delinquency, say, What
good could my little vote have
been among so many millions?"
That is a hollow excuse-in
fact, no excuse at all. 1t reflects
selfishness as we'll as laziness on
the part of the person who Of
fers such an alibi. Imagine what
would happen to this nation if
all adopted that same laissez-
faire attitude! America would be
taken over bodily to be exploit
ed by selfish interests.
1t, also, demonstrates a woeful
ignorance of Americas political
history. For example, in one Ma
tional Election, the vote in New
York state decided the election
and the president-elect carried
the Empire State by only 1,l49
votes.

presentatives sit behind large
desks on curved terraces, each
higher than the preceding one.
Galleries are hung high on two
walls. These were filled-rela-
tives (their eyes proud) and lob
byiests, with that back work
look.
l found George Philpot, Noble
county's representative, in the
front row. 1 have known George
since he walked miles to teach
in the one-room school at Her
ron's Ridge. He wore a double
breasted blue suit and blue tie
The coat bulged on one side, Tor
the inside pocket was packed
with letters and notes. He SEEM
ed eager to get to work. His
work the next few months will
be strenuous, for George is
among the outnumbered Republi-
cans.
Mr.. Philpot was flanked by
Earl Baughman of Athens and
Ray Carpenter of Seneca county.
Guy c. Hiner, a Republican, from
Canton, kept leaning over Mr..
Baughman to kid Mr.. Philpot
about Morgan's raid, the Shenan-
doah, the grave of John Gray,
and Private DaIzell. This man, l
concluded, certainly knew Noble
, county history.
In serious conversation, George
told me: I'm up here to repre-
sent the people, and I'm going
to do job. I'm not trying to
show up any of my predecessors.
I'm going to continue to keep the
people informed. The Journal is
going to print my weekly reports.
III be on the job here"
Georges red hair is grazing
slightly at the temples, but he's
still energetic. There was a
CLEAN in his sharp eyes as he
took the oath.

The Neil house has reassumed
its Importance as Ohio's Little
Capitol" A few doors north, a
calliope is playing in the Deshler
hotel lobby. The Ohio fair mana
gers are just getting their an
nual convention going. This is
one of the gayest meetings Of the
year.
George Mckee, state livestock
Inspector, and w. X Conner, will
represent the Noble county fair
in sessions devoted to racing. The
U. S. Trotting Association really
appreciates Ohio-for this state
has more fairs than any state in
the union.
And the fair managers meeting
maintains that superiority. 1t has
been said that some people get
elected to county agricultural So
cietics merely so they can attend
this convention. There's hi-jinks
and lavish entertainment. Gus
Sun, the Springfield Snowman
and Floyd Gooding, the Colum-
| bus carnival man, are great hosts
I'm attending, and will give yoL
more on this next week.

Gaping
the CAPITAL
With BEN HAYES

Columbus - 1t had occurred
many times before on the west
steps of Ohio's limestone capitol,
and Frank Lausche was accus-
toned to the ceremony-for just
four years ago he had held up
his right hand and made solemn
promises on a similar wooden
platform.
Government is this city's No.
l industry, and new shift was
coming on the job. The sovereign
state was changing governors
(the people had spoken) so there
was pomp and circumstance. Out
Broad street, up and down High
street, there was hustle and ex-
citement. The ladies had tea at
the mansion those with evening
clothes danced at the Neil house.
But the main attraction was at
the state house. Hundreds of
spectators tramped the grass into
mud, as squirrels and pigeons
retreated to roofs and trees.
The capitol square pets are fat
and sleek, having feasted a few
weeks ago on Ohio corn, display
ed in an open crib on the very
spot Governor Lausche was tax
ing the oath-there before the
big west columns of the capitol
where Abraham Lincoln address
ed the people while on his way
to Washington in 1861.
The Clevelander with the un-
ruly hair seems more emotional
than four years ago. Tears gIis-
tened in his eyes. Chief Justice
Carl V. Weygandt of the state
supreme court, who always shuns
an overcoat, was reassuring ir
his calm and distinguished giving
of the oath.
This is a capital week for the
capital city. The local inaugural
committee was splendid in its ar
rangements. There are refine
ments each biennium, although il
has been going on for more thar
l25 years. Back there, IS to l0C
years ago, the state officials
would ride horses to the capital
and there were excellent stables
beneath the state house for the
| horses of all.
This years new Democrats
drove around and around. Find,
ing a place to park an auto seem,
ed more difficult than getting
elected. The "officiaI' parking
lots east of the state house were
filled with the autos of lame
| duck Republicans.

opened earlier with ceremony
| and raised right hands. l was late

1t is rather a paradox that the
most caustic critics of elected
legislators and officials are gen
orally the very citizens who
hadn't shown enough interest to
vote when the objects of their
spleen were candidates for cleo
ton
So, what to do about these mil
lions of shirkers? Our response
bility really doesn't end with
casting our own votes. We must
see to it that the other fellow
likewise performs his sacred and
patriotic duty.
Numerous suggestions have
been made for legislation to pun
ish eligible voters who do not
exercise their franchise. This
would entail compulsion and
force is not compatible with the
American Way Of doing things
we have learned that you defin-
itely cannot legilate a sense of
civic responsibility into any hui
man being.
There have been alternate sug-
gestions of melting out rewards
to those who do vote, one OF
which would give to the voting
citizen a reduction in his income
tax. But what good citizen seeks
a monetary reward for simply
doing his duty?
No, the thing for us to do is tc
shame these slackers into {
sense Of their responsibility
First of all, we must get then
to register. Failure to register i:
perhaps the greatest contribut
ing factor to not voting.
Then having prevailed upor
them to register and their having
discovered it is not a painful or
deal, that no dire disaster befall!
the good citizen who does hi!
civic duty, when election day
rolls around, it is a pretty safe
bet that they'll go to the poll
to register their votes WithOu
coaXing, coertion of promises O.
a monetary reward and entirely
on their own steam and of theil
| own volition.
