Caldwell, did dictate his entry
into teaching, Mr.. House makes
it clear he wouldn't have had it
any other way.
Now tall. vigorous man OF
40, he started teaching at l8 and
has spent most of his teaching
and administrative career in the
Columbus school system.
At North, he'll meet again
many of the pupils who were un-
der his charge as principal of
Indianola Junior high school, and
he's looking forward to the new
post.
Good administration is about
90 percent common sense" he
offered by way of a maxim for
school principals, "and there are
very few problems that can't be
dealt with on that basis"
And right along with that, he
proposed, is "a sense of fairness
in dealing with pupils, teachers
and parents. You've got to keep
that, or you get nowhere"
Graduated at 16 from Cald-
well high school as valedictorian
of his class, Principal House had
a year at Muskingum College
and year at county normal
school before he was old enough
to apply for a teaching certif-
icate He taught junior high
school at Caldwell as an under
graduate and was graduated
from Ohio University in 1880.
Before he entered World War
II, in 1943, Mr.. House had taught
English and mathematics at
West junior high in Columbus,
served as principal of Startling
junior high for two years and
returned to West as senior high
boys counselor.
AS a Navy lieutenant for three
years, he got some more coed

cipal is an avid sports fan, likes
to tinker around the house,
and read current fiction as a
literary vacation from educa-
tional journals. "I've always op-
Grated on the theory" he de-
clared, @that school teachers
have to be human beings"
Mr.. House holds masters de-
gree in school administration at
Ohio State University where he
completed a thesis on the first
25 years of the junior high
school in Columbus. As princi-
pal of Indianola, first junior
high in the country, he worked
with his predecessor at North
high, H. P. Swain, since most
Indianola pupils go on to North
high school.
Still in the organized Naval
Reserve, he has had two weeks
duty this summer at Great Lakes
as a battalion training officer
and will have two more before
the September school term.
With this, a two-week work
shop at OSU and getting ac-
quainted with his new job, he
expects to have pretty busy

his aim is to help
it meet its responsibilities "as a

No Serious Bug
Threat In July

No serious threats to Ohio
field crops in July from corn
borers, grasshoppers or chinch
bugs are seen by T. II. Parks,
extension entomologist at Ohio
State University.
He says corn borers began
Matching during mid-June in
central Ohio, but egg-laying has
slowed down and the situation
does not look too serious. He be-
lieves the infestation of borers
must be higher than that of last
season to justify treatment, ex-
cept for growers of canning corn
and seed corn.
Grasshoppers are now hatch
ing, but Parks does not expect a
general outbreak. He warns far

tration. He was officer in charge
of personnel in the educational
program of the Washington Bu-
reau of Navy Personnel.
He came back to the Colum-
bus schools in 1916 as principal
of the veterans education pro-
gram and was assigned as In
dianola principal a few months
later.
Looking forward to the prob
lens of his new post, the princi-
pal-elect talked willingly about
his own educational philosophy.
mo high school can properly
be called an academic high
school any more" he said, "be-
cause we have youngsters of all
grades of ability"
The ratio between vocational
and academic training depends
upon the community involved, he
said, but a modern high school
must have both.
Schools must be constantly
geared to child and community
needs, he added
Zone of the biggest dangers in
education is stagnation, if we
continue to do the same thing
year after year, in the same way,
at the same time. The public
schools must accept changes,
just as the students must accept
growth and change"
As an example, he cited the
whole new field of guidance-vo-
cational, educational and social.
''The need has probably always
been there, and a good teacher
has always given certain
amount of guidance. But now
we're recognizing it is an obliga-
ton of the school in helping
young people find themselves. "

more food can be packed into
the container because shrinkage
takes place before the food is
packed.
To each pint of peas, add: one
half teaspoon of salt and one
half teaspoon of sugar if desired.
Cover with fresh boiling water
and process at 10 pounds pres
sure. After the proper pressure
has been reached, begin to count
the time and continue processing
for a full AS minutes.
Keep the pressure as uniform
as possible because uneven pres
sure may cause under processing
and may force some of the liquid
out of the jars.

New Farm Loans
For All Farmers

Philip Grabman, supervisor of
the Woodsfield office of the
farmers home administration
USDA for Noble and Monroe
counties recently spent two days
in Marietta where he attended a
personnel meeting.
The purpose of the meeting
was discussion of new policies
with regard to various types of
loans made by the administra-
ton. Mr.. Grabman is of the
opinion that as a result of these
new policies, a better credit pro-
gram will be available to Noble
county farmers who need finan-
cial assistance in purchasing or
improving real estate, remodel
ing or building farm buildings,
or buying livestock, machinery
and farm supplies.

Peas Right For Ealing,
Also Best For Canning

Young, tender, freshly picked
peas-just right for cooking and
serving on your dinner table to-
night-are just right for canning
too. But food specialists at Ohio
State University remind Ohio
homemakers that since peas are
a low-acid food, they must be
processed in a pressure canner.
This process is simple. Shell
only enough peas to fill the con-
tainers to be processed at one
time. Cover them with boiling
water and bring to the boiling
point. this method of heating be-
fore processing reduces the pos
sibility of spoilage, and besides,

York Council No. |

York Council No. | met at the
home of MI. and Mrs. Eugene
Ortman for it's November meet
ing. Upon being called to order
by the president, Mr.. Ortman
read the 26th Psalm.
Bruce Cahill moved that we
buy a SIS Christmas Seal Bond.
This motion carried. Florence
Brooks summarized the annual
Farm Bureau meeting.
The secretary read a card from
Cecile Thomas thanking us for
flowers sent her during her re-
cent illness. Eleanor Smith made
a motion that the present officers
be retained for 1851.
1t was decided to have a gift
exchange at the Christmas meet
ing at Ivan Bartons home. These
gifts shall cost not more than SOC.
Following the Council Guide
Who Shall Speak for the Farm
er?", it was brought out in the
discussion period that since only
l8 percent of the people in the
U. S. are farmers (enly IL percent
in Ohio it behooves us to CO.
operate fully in order to make
ourselves heard. The work of the
State and National Farm Bureau
was cited and commended highly
in this matter as they try to have
a delegate for every $50 farmers.
The Importance of voting was
stressed, it being a reflection
on farmers that only l8 percent
of the farm vote got out at the
last election.
The Brannon plan was dis
cussed again. Mr.. Ortman outlin-
ed the penalties attached if one
failed to keep books as specified
in the plan.
Delicious refreshments were
served to Is members, four guests
and 8 children.

he will find necessary to proclaim
after the November election. But
in the minds of the people every
where is the thought that all of
their young men are going to be
drafted into the Army, ~upsetting
their education and their program
for life. There is the thought that
these young men perhaps may
face the tragedy of a Third World
War.
In the background looms a
tax burden even greater than
we have ever faced before. In
the domestic field the program
of the Truman Administration
has been blocked, and its dan
gerOuS effect in creating social
ism can only be a warning, but
the disastrous results of its for
eign policy are with us and
nothing has so much shaken the
confidence of the people in Pres
ident Truman and his advisers.
WHETHER they acquired a SYM
" pathy for Communism from
Communists in high places in the
government, or whether they were
too dumb to see the results of
their policy, Hopkins and Harri-
man at Yalta acted on the theory
that Russia was a "peace-loving
democracy" They let Stain write
the ticket. They established Rus
STA in a position of power in Cen
trail Europe, in Berlin, Prague and
Vienna. They accepted promises to
free Poland an6 the Baltic States
when a child could have seen the
falsity of those promises. They set
Russia up in Manchuria, contrary
to all American foreign policy
which had been based, since the
days Of John Hay, on the Open
Door in China. They acquiesced in
and sympathized with the Com
munist advance in China, pro-
NOTED by Russian military advis-
ors and Russian arms.

GAGE FOUR
Law Governs
Yule Decorations

The Ohio State Council of Re-
tail Merchants recently called the
attention of Marysville Chamber
of Commerce to a recent act of
Legislation, known as the
"Christmas Decorations Control
Act, effective Jan. /, under
which law any person, firm, as
sociation or corporation may be
subject to fine and or imprison-
meht for failure to abide by the
new law.
The heart of this law, as con-
tanned in Section 844-7 of The
Ohio General Code, is as follows:
No person, firm, association or
corporation shall buy, sell, offer
for sale, or use in any manner,
any electrical equipment n de-
vice, except electric light bulbs
Of any kind, used or intended for
use as decoration or illumination
for. Christmas trees unless such
equipment or device bears the
label or listing of any nationally
known and accepted testing lab
oratory, approved by the fire
marshall; nor shall any other
material be used for the decora-
ton or establishment of any real
or simulated Christmas tree or
any other decorative device used
during the Christmas season, if
such material is proven not to be
flame resistant as defined in Sec
ton 844-6 (b) of the General
Code.
II should be noted that this act
appears not only to prohibit the
of unapproved electrical
equipment, but also prohibits the
Use of any decorations that r
lot flame resistant. The act pro-
yides the flame resistant" test as

1t is this position of power
combined with the development
of air power and the atomic bomb,
which makes Russia today the
greatest foreign threat to the Sc
curity of this country since the
days of the Revolutionary War.
We won the war, but the loss
of peace will impose tremendous
sacrifices on the American peo-
pie in Army service and taxes,
and seriously check progress in
many fields of civilian welfare,
where most of us have a ire
mendOus interest.
IT is also clear today that the
Korean War itself was a direct
result of the appeasement of Com
munism and the position taken by
Acheson and Connally that the
United States would certainly take
no military action beyond Japan,
Okinawa and the Philippines. II
in January, Acheson had an
nounced our intention to prevent
the spread of Communism in the
Far East to the greatest extent of
our ability, there would have been
no Korean War, and the death and
,wounding of thousands of Ameri-
can boys would have been
avoided.
The people are still disturbed at
the strange unwillingness in some
Administration circles to go all
out against Communism. They are
disturbed at Acheson's flirting
with the idea of recognizing Com
munist China, at his willingness
to turn over the disposition of
Formosa, clearly a japanese peace
treaty question, to the United Ma
tons. They r disturbed at the
Presidents veto of the anti Com
muniSt Bill.
If we are to expend American
lives and billions of dollars
throughout the world to prevent
the spread of Communism, why
not at least require Communist
organizations in this country to
register their members so that
we may know where they are
and from what source their
propaganda comes. The people
realize, and are cOncerVed, that
the election of a rubber stamp
Congress demanded by Mr.. Tru-
man and the Political Action
Committee, would mean a con-
tinuatiOn of present foreign pol
icy, a vote of confidence in MIR.
AchesOn, and a continued pro-
communist attitude in the for
eign policy of the United States.
