Trustees Clarity
LincoIn's Stand
For Farm Bureau
Say Lincoln Speaks
Only For Himself
Not Federation

Murray D. Lincoln, head of the
Ohio Farm Bureau Insurance COM
panies, speaks only for himself i'm
his endorsement of Joe Ferguson,
SO say the trustees for the Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation in a
press release dated October 1S.
Federation Trustees met in Co
lumbus last week and declared
that they would endorse no po-
litical party or candidate for Of
flee. Previously Lincoln had en-
dorsed Ferguson for the good of
the state of Ohio"
Further, the Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation officially adopted a
resolution which in part
Many people are still unaware
that as of February 25, 1948, Mr..
Lincoln voluntarily severed all
connections as an official of the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
Due to the fact that he held the
office of Executive Secretary for
many years, he is still looked up
on . s. as a spokesman for the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
This is no longer true. We recog-
niZe Mr.. Lincoln's right to speak
as an individual, but we wish to
make it clear that he does not
represent the Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation"

Patrol To Issue Orders
On Air Raid Warnings

Any orders to sound air raid
sirens in Madison and five other
central Ohio counties will be is
sued from the State Highway Pa
troll station at Olentangy and
Ackerman Rd., Columbus.
The patrol office is one of the
Is key point air raid warning
centers listed in Civil Defense
bulletin issued by the Ohio Ad-
jutant General.
The patrol will pass the alert
orders on to sheriffs and police
departments in Madison, Pick
away, Licking, Fairfield, and
Perry counties which encompass
the cities of London, Circleville,
Lancaster, Newark, and New
Lexington.
The centers are the control

Says Public Likes
Taft Hartley Law

New York, N. Y, October %
Public approval for the controver-
sial Taft-Hartley Law is at its
highest point in three years, even
among union members, according
to an article released in Look
Magazine.
Based on the latest survey made
by the Opinion Research Corpora
ton, the Look article indicates
that public support for the law
has risen IL points since last
year. Although union members are
still two to one against it, sup
port in this group also has gone
up II points.
In this past year, which has
been filled with strike news, it is
significant that the survey shows
$40 of the general public now
favor the required 60-day cooling
off period and even union approval
has risen from 6396 to 71%e, con-
tinues Look.
Tho 1870 OF tic public ard CT
% ofthe union members polled fa-
vor the provision to delay strikes
in public-service industries while
1920 of the public favor allowing
union shops only with majority
vote and 1870 of the Union men,
bers concurred.
Look Magazine, which published
the startling survey several years
ago showing that while the ma
Jority of workers were against
the law, they actually favored
overwhelmingly its 10 major pro-
visions, contends this situation
still exists, although it is lessen
ing today. Those opposed to the
law have great difficulty telling
just what it is they object to.
When asked to name any bad
features only 4e6 named specific
provisions of the Act.
What seems to be happening
is that people are coming to ac-
cept the Taft-Hartley Act as they
learn to hve with it." concludes

School Board Says Vote
"Yes' On School Levy

"The proposed levy will not
increase the amount of school
taxes that property owners in the
District have been paying for the
last ten years. The tax is small,
amounting to only $500 for every
thousand dollars on the tax du-
plicate. The aggregate, however,
is a sum which added to the other
sources of revenue, makes it pos
sible to keep the London Schools
operating.
The citizens of London are
proud of their schools, and they
have always responded to every
reasonable request for their sup
port. The special levy to be
submitted at the coming election
is not for anything new, but to
keep the schools going on the
present basis. The Board would
not ask the voters of the District
to give them this extra fund if
they did not know it was neces-
Sary.
Because you will not be adding
an extra cent to the amount of
taxes you have been paying to the
schools for the last ten years,
and to assure the full time opera
tion of those schools, vote YES"
on the special levy when you go
to the polls on November 7th."
School Board members are:
Henry Beathard, Glenn Woosley,
-. Z. Bacon. Caryl Holton and
Maynard Dickerson.

Voting The Grecf Privilege:

At the regular election to be
held on November z, the Lon
don Board of Education will ask
the electors of the London School
District to pass special three
mill levy for the support of the
schools for the next five years.
1t was explained that this is not
a new or an increased tax that
the Board is asking, as the people
have renewed this levy period
ically since 1920. Because the 1850
levy will expire this year, it will
be necessary to resubmit the levy
to the electors, the Board said.
Supt. j. ]. Hartley said, ''The
money from the general tax,
which must be kept within the ten
mill limitation, together with the
funds received from the state un-
der the School Foundation Pro-
gram is not sufficient to operate
the schools. Since the last special
levy was voted, the cost of opera
ton has increased. An ever-larger
enrolment has made necessary
the employment of additional
teachers. Besides, this, the law
requires the Board to furnish free
to the pupils the text books they
need. There has also been a gen.
eral increase in operating costs
during the last few years. Al
together these things point to the
necessity of the continuation of the
three-mill special levy in order to
insure the operation of the schools
at full time.

i our
GIl( TOWN


Recently, James c. Quinn,
secretary of the Cleveland
Industrial Union Council
made this rather violent
statement Some day
we will be able to tell the
papers what to print and
what not to print" These
are big words coming from a
spokesman for the Political
Action Committee about
which we have heard SO much
in the past few months. We
challenge Quinn's statement
on the ground that news
papers must necessarily be al
lowed to say what they please
as provided in the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
Read Quinn's statement again
and draw your own conclus-
ions as to what form of gov
ernment HE'S for!
RATS
So many people have asked
us about the name of the
super-duper rat and mouse
killer we spoke about some
time ago that we again give
you the name of it it's
"WARFARIN" and it is sold
commercially under a number
of different trade names.
Ask your grain or hardware
dealer and he can get it for
you.
PEOPLE
Our imaginary playmate,
Haywood Snugg, the poor
mans Socrates, says that
there are two kinds of people
who will never amount to
much-those who won't do
what they're told and those
who do nothing else!!
AMERICA
Life in these United States
can be very well explained
to the newcomer by simple OBJ
servation of various road
signs. A theoretical case would
be to see the following sigEs
one after the other SOFT
SHOULDERS, DANGEROUS
CURVES, TRAVEL AT OWN
RISK, SLOW MEN WORK
ING and, finally, WATCH
OUT FOR CHILDREN.
CRITIC
From time to time we
try to improve our mind by
attending the old broken
down Hartman theatre in CO.
lumbus. The Hartman is a
wonderful place to make new
friends inasmuch as it has
one water fountain and you
can get acquainted while
standing in line between the
acts to wet your whistle
from a stream of water one
sixteenth of an inch high.
OF course, we always say that
we enjoy the show because
the tickets cost SO much that
one would be a fool to admit
to any other opinion!
LAST WORD
I'll be home early, dear!
