announcement as a candidate for
Congress from the Third Con-
gressional District. In fairness to
others who might desire to offer

l want to take this method of
announcing that / will not be

appointment to me for l have
had an ambition for many years
to serve in Congress.
1t may seem strange indeed to
decide not to run when there are
evidences everywhere that my
candidacy would be received
favorably and that my election
would follow in the normal course

District to explain my reasons.
l have never given problem
more mature thought. For a
month now l have been trying
to get out of my office and get
into the Campaign vigorously. L
am finding it increasingly diff
cult to abandon the demands of
my profession in order to make
the Campaign properly. To make
this race and to serve in Congress
Will mean giving up my law
practice which l have been many
years in building. When l first
thought of running, l thought it
would be possible to give my full
time to the Campaign. l have now
found that this is not possible. It
Is now clear that l cannot con-
throw overheard my
personal and professional re-
sponsibilities.
l am not overlooking that the
opportunity for service in our
national legislative body in these
days of danger is great. The
problems of this age are
a challenge to any man. Our Con-
gress can remove some of the
feeling of insecurity SO rampant

think straight are needed. The

Idea for the gift program de-
veloped out of the company's need
for some method that would stress
to its employees the importance Of
good workmanship in keeping the
firms customers satisfied. The
best and most effective way to ac-
complish this goal, it was felt, was
to give every employee an actual
sample of the many well-known
products using their paper.
Approached on this subject,
most of the customers went all
out in offering their support; they
willingly ontributedsufficient
quantities of the products or made
them available to the firm at cost.
The first present was given out
last August. This was a pocket
pack of tissues, wrapped in
glassine paper. In the following
weeks, such products as pudiirg,
pie crust mix, crackers and corn
fakes have been distributed, and
the program is set TO run ses 4

PUBLICITY FOR ST. r o
THE BROCHURE on St. Croix nut ont bv Il

AlAL oHoI IIOX put out by the Chamber
OF Commerce is a gem. It is among the very few bits of
literature published which points out the beauty and high
lights OF this place. Indeed, ST. Croix, which has been the Car
den Of the West Indies, should still claim that title, for this
island is indeed a most beautiful one, taken from every con.
cefvable angle. However, for some reason which cannot be
explained, our own people have either been unaware Of this
beauty or are Indifferent to it. This new brochure BY the
Chamber of Commerce serves to remind one and all Of what
this place has to- offer.
ORDINARILY, publicity on any given island goes I'M
noticed, except that in this case ST. Crox has the satisfaction
OF seeing its glories both of scenic beauty and climate pointed
out. This seems unusual il. view of the fact that st. Croix has
had to take a secondary place in the scheme Of things, SO that
mainlanders and others often have little or no opportunity to
know of St. Croix and what it has to offer. 1t has been the pat
tern and rule that officials, making the trip to these Islands
frequently touch St. Crox and are off again, or, as often hap
pens they do not even come close to this place.
ST. CROK IS a veritable garden spot. Here are white
sandy beaches washed by crystal blue waters, mountain
ranges which rise from plains covered by sugar cane and
other tropical plants. The motorist can find miles and miles Of
rural roads, with no binboards to hamper and cut off the
scenery. To those who want quiet relaxation, a house in the
country can solve the problem as nothing else can. On the
other hand, the tourist who wants a quick wee -end will find
St Croix the ideal spot. To begin with, planes from the main
land drop down in these parts in about eight hours, and since
the weather is dependable, the visitor can begin Immediately
to enjoy his stay. Then, there is the same assurance to those
who come for a longer stay, as there is no limit to the type Of
recreation which may be enjoyed.

JobIess Claims
Low In County

Madison County is fortunate in
having few unemployed people.
Emil E.. Yerian, manager of the
London office of the Ohio State
Employment Service, stated Sat-
urday. This is due to many farm
ers placing orders for help in the
harvest of hay and grain, he
said.
During June 101 persons were
placed on jobs through the local
employment office. A statistical
report shows this county having
the least number of people draw
ing unemployment compensation
IF any county in Ohio. As OF July
1st there were 26 active claims.
Mr.. Yerian also thanked En-
ployers for their cooperation in
placing orders for help. For the
