Since World War II, through
the Marshall plan and other de-
vices, the United States has spent
over thirty billion dollars in for
eign countries. | have opposed
these enormous expenditures be-
cause of our national debt and
the possibility that much we
have done may ultimately bene-
fit Communism, just as our aid
to Germany and gasoline and
scrap iron shipments to Japan
helped to bring on World War ii.
/ have felt that we could save
billions of dollars, run no risk to
our security and stop the spread
of Communism by sending sur
plus agricultural products, which
are already paid for, and which
constantly threaten the prosper
ity of the American farmer.
Great Britain has received
more money from us than any
other nation. Also great sums
have been given to the Neither
lands. When the United Nations,
of which the United States is a
member, decided to actively fight
aggression in Korea, the govern
ment of the United States re-
quested American oil companies
to stop selling oil and gasoline
to Communist China, thus pre-
venting these products from be-
ing shipped on to red forces in
Korea. American oil companies
Immediately agreed to the re-
quest. At the same time our gov
ernment asked Great Britain
and the Netherlands, both OF
whom sell petroleum supplies in
the Far East to stop such sales
Britain has rejected the request
giving as an excuse that her oil
and gas sales to red China are
too small to permit their diver
sion to war purposes. Such ar
excuse is silly. Anyone know:
that the Communists in China
are not going to worry about the
oil and gas needs of the Chinese
people, but will rather hurry i
to Korea for use in tanks anc
airplanes against American sol
diers. The Netherlands has no
event replied to the request o
our government.
The Marshall plan nations
lhave agreed not to ship potentia
war supplies to Soviet Russia anc

Teen-Age Outdoor
Dances Al Emerson
Proving Successful

LAKEWOOD - During the
school year, almost every Friday
finds the younger set attending
dance at the senior high school
or one of the three junior highs.
With the coming of summer va
cation, no provision was made
for continuing this practice until
it was suggested to Charles A.
Foster, head of the recreation
department.
N. r. Brown, student advisor
for social events at the high
school, made plans to remedy the
situation, with the aid of stud
ent committee consisting of
Nicholas Kalvin, Ann Muehl-
hauser, Jim Black, Sydna Kunze,
Bruce Jordan, Barbara Carl and
Jerry Linderman.
Two weeks ago the first out
door dance was held on the con-
crete bicycle court at Emerson
junior high school. Dancing from
$50 to 1870 p. m, refreshments
at nominal fee, and music by
teen-age orchestra guaranteed
the success of the experiment.
Under the auspices of the board
of education, the popular under
the-stars" dances will continue
on each Friday night during
July.
All teen-agers in Lakewood
are welcome. Lakewood alumni
home from college for the sum-
mer or those already working
are also invited to attend.

Reserves Asked
To Volunteer For
One Years Duty

The army has selected names
of qualified enlisted treservists
which reveal wartime experience
and special instruction in certain
specialized fields now needed.
Letters are being written by
the Ohio military district to these
qualified members of the army
enlisted reserve corps residing in
Ohio, asking whether they desire
to volunteer for a year or more
active duty with the army. This
announcement was made today
by Major Karl P. Hemeyer, office
of the unit instructor, GAINESVILLE.
Other members of the enlisted
reserve corps who do not receive
a letter many volunteer for ac-
tive duty thru their army unit
instructors office and will be ac-
cepted if they are desired by the
army at this time.
In the Noble county area, the
unit instructors office is located
at 223 Main street, GAINESVILLE.

Reason is not law; nor does

here, lies in making law the

as the morality of the act is the

OHIO RESOURCES

Ohio consists of eighty-eight
counties with a total land area
of twenty-three million, three
hundred and eighteen thousand,
eighty acres. We have been very
fortunate in having one of the
best balanced states in the union.
We rank high both in agricul-
tural and industrial products.
Sixty counties have produced oil
and gas in commercial quantities.
Oil and gas is being produced on
four hundred thousand acres and
one million acres are now under
lease with prospects of future
drilling. The first year of re-
corded crude oil production was
1876, although there was small
unrecorded production as early
as 1850 At the peak of produc-
ton, several years ago, Ohio pro-
duced almost twenty-four million
barrels of oil in one year. In
1949 our production was only
three and one half million bar
rels, ninety-nine per cent of
which came from stripper wells.
In 1949 we produced forty-seven
million cubic feet of natural gas.
On Jan. l, 1850, Ohio had twen-
ty-one thousand, eight hundred
producing wells. Last year one
thousand, eight-four wells were
drilled to an average depth of
two thousand, one hundred and
ten feet. The deepest well ever
drilled in Ohio was seven thou
sand, one hundred and eighty
nine feet. Ohio has proven oil
reserves of about thirty million
barrels or enough to last with
out new discoveries for about
nine years at our present rate OF
production. Our proven natural
gas reserves amount to six hun
dred and fifty-two million cubic
feet, or enough to last about fif-
teen years at the present rate OF
production. The 1949 value OF
crude oil and natural gas was q
little over twenty-one million
dollars.
Coal is our principle minera,
from the standpoint of value. lr
I1949 Ohio produced about thirty
million tons of coal with a value
at the mine of three dollars anC
eighty-two cents per ton. Oul
state also produced over twenty
million tons of stone, principally
for construction purposes. The
value of this stone was more
than twenty-seven million dol
lars. Our state produced almos
three million tons of fire clay
with a value of six million dol
lars. Other clay prod uc e
amounted to more than two mil
lion tons with a value of owe
one and one-half million dollars
Our minerals, together wit
many factories of all types, jhav
made us one of the most fortun
ate of all states in the union.

pleasing addition to any conver-
sation.
Worried about those wrinkles?
fand who isn't these daysD A
leading authority on beauty cul-
ture tells us that we should
never sleep on the side of the
face. Cradle the side of your
face in the palm of your hand,
release and look at those wrin-
kles. If you sleep that way S65
days year think of the wrinkles
you have invited after ten years.
You can have the touch of
beauty by following few SIM
pie rules of hand care every
day. Each day when you wash
your hands gently push back the
cuticle.
Likewise, before your daily
bath, smooth the edge of your
fingernails with the fine side of
an emery board. (NEVER use
a metal nail file on your finger
nails. 1t splits the nail) To keep
the edges of the nails from sep
arating, roll emery board light
ly at a right angle away from
the nail surface.
Hangnails are ugly-and de-
structive. They'll snag stockings
and fabrics and, if pulled, they
hurt. To avoid them use cuticle
remover once a week. If thorny
hangnail forms, nip it off with
professional clippers.
The news that we haven't a
big supply of bachelors and spin
sters will probably strike this
years crop of bridesmaids and
best men as very important
news indeed, yet actually it rep
resents a trend which has been
going on in this country for at
least so years.
More Americans today marry
younger and once married, they
have more years together be-
cause people now live longer
than they used to. For Nall of
these reasons, we have fewer un-
married adults in our popula-
ton today, proportionately, than
we had in 1900 When did you
say the next leap year is?

them were lucky; others got

Haven't heard of any worthwhile
bass being landed. In my opin-

the lake are spelling the bass

Peace and quiet have settled
down over the lake again after
the Fourth of July holidays. Ac-
tually, no attendance records
were shattered this year because
of the stormy weather. Bait
dealers and restauranteurs near
the lake, who stocked up heav-
lily in anticipation of overflow
crowds on the Fourth, were a
little disappointed.
Apparently a lot of people
took their vacations here last
week; the camping area was
dotted with tents. Rental cabins
at the boat landing and other
spots were filled.

One of the most important
ways to lead a life of enviable
charm is to have a pleasing
voice. Soft, gentle tones with the
proper infections have much
better assurance of an audience
than a harsh shrill voice reminis-

A good speaking voice is es-
pecially important to remember
when you are talking on the tel

it by pronouncing each syllable
