Natural rocks of salt, imbedded in
creek banks all over the Ohio wilder

pioneers hid out and shot much of
the venison eaten by their large
families. Later, and even today,
farmers throw slabs of rock-salt here
and there in fields and pastures to
provide the same kind of ''licks"
for their livestock.

Salt Of The Earth

For a dime at the corner grocery
you can carry enough of it home tt
last the family for months and still
have some left to sprinkle on the
tail of the bluebird you're trying te
catch. But during the long string
of Yesterdays salt was a condiment
both necessary and scarce in Ohio
and one of the threads most promin.
ent in the warp and woof of the
states history.
Settlers in the Ohio backwoods
used it to season jerked venison anC
toasted bears paws and but for the
Indians, who brought it in to trade
for home-stilled whiskey, the whites
would have had none at ALL In those
days fresh venison went begging il
frontier trading posts at two cents 3
pound and bears paws, toasted or
long sticks before the fireplace
We're delicacy of the first water il
the Ohio wilderness.
But for the salt banks of Ken.
lucky, along the Licking River, there
would have been no settlement be.
fore the 1800's in the southwestern
third of Ohio and no pioneers in the
southeastern third of the state. The
northern third, but for the salt
springs in Liverpool township
Medina County, would still have beer
wilderness. Pioneer wives could use
sassafras tea and sumac coffee but
could find no synthetic substitute fol
salt.
Old Salt Trail
The old Indian war-path, winding
all the way from Braddock's head
quarters at Detroit to the foot OF
Sycamore Street, Cincinnati, was
used by the savages on their way to
the salt beds along Lick-River in
Kentucky. In 1876 band of Indians
from near Xenia went into Kentucky
after salt but instead of getting it
stole some horses at Washington, a
small settlement back of Maysville.
In pursuit of them, Benjamin
Sites saw the beautiful and fertile
land between the two Miami rivers
and wanted it for himself. That, in
directly opened up the lower part of
Ohio for settlement. John Cleves
Symmes, at Sites behest, bought
the 81 ,682 acres later the Symmes
Purchase, where Cincinnati was built,
at CT cents an acre-and on credit.
Settlement began in 1888.
The old Scioto salt banks, on the
bank of Salt creek, tributary of the
Scioto River, in Jackson County, had
much to do with settlement of the
southeastern part of the state. Salt
there first was produced by the pion-
eers in. 1913, who boiled it down in
kettles and sold it to peddlers who
carried it off on pack-horses and sold
it to various settlements at So to $4
a bushel.
That latter price was the 1903
quotation. Salt wells there were
about 80 feet deep but the water
was SO weak that it required 10 or
15 gallons to make a pound of salt.
The Scioto salt works were abandon
ed when better and more accessible

Senator Mccarthy has con-

his charges will not be complete
unless the committee is given ac-

in the Civil Service Commission
and those in other agencies of the

had been tampered with, Mr..
Puerifoy was reported to have
told committee members he is
willing to testify under oath that
none Of the loyalty records have
been altered or removed.
AS the committee began its
study of the files, Senator Nc
Carthy threatened to take the
Senate floor and name an Ameri-

a foreign agent. He said he would
do this if the investigating COM

Mans Vision Is Best Suited te
- Distant Outdoor Seeing,
t Saws 0ptometrist

L The use of eyeglasses to see
properly has increased about so
per cent in the last 80 years, ac-
cording to DR.. Elmer M. Soles,
director of public information OF
the American Optometric Associa-
tion.
"This does not mean that Amer
leans Of a generation ago saw bet
ter than we do today" he SAID.
Modern living in machine age
requires better vision, and the
public has become more conscious
of its need for proper visual care.
Mature did not intend our eyes
and seeing ability for long periods
of close work indoors under artl-
ficial light" DR.. Soles said. "From
countless generations OF outdoor
ancestors we have inherited vision
best suited to distant seeing IN
natural light.
To-day more of our critical see-
ing must be done within arms
length to read, or to work at a
bench or desk. This calls for near
point focusing, which is difficult
especially for older persons. Con-
Sequently, we have more visual
problems.
Among the most common short
comings found among the usually
inefficient, according to DR.. Soles
are the following:
Farsightedness difficulty in
focusing for reading or other near
point seeing. This problem in
creases rapidly with age, especial
ly after 40.
Nearsightedness -- dffficulty In
focusing for distant seeing. Among
these cases are many progressive
