Inform Voters OBJ
"Wriie-In" Rules
Applies Only To
Central Committee

There has been some mis-in-
depreciation of the new write
in" amendment to the general
code governing election laws,
according to J. Kyle Walken-
shaw, clerk of the Noble county
election board.
The change applies only to
the delegate and alternate to the
national and state conventions
and to members of the state CEN
tral committee and county CEN
trail committee.
The new amendment which
goes into effect this year at the
May 2 primary is as follows:
candidates for the office of
delegate and alternate to the
national and state conventions,
members of the state central
committee and members of the
county central committee are
elected at the primary elections
and for that reason no blank
space shall be left on the ballot
after the names of the candi-
dates for such office.
eff no person files and quail
flied for the office of member
of state central committeeman
or member of the county central
committee, such offices will not
appear on the ballot.
Clerk Walkenshaw used this
as an illustration. If a candidate
does not file or qualify for the
office of central committee from
Stock township, or any other for
that matter, then that office will
not appear on the ballots sent
to Stock precinct. If candidate
is written in, the judges and
clerks will be instructed not to
tally their votes.
Republican and Democratic
leaders in the county must see
that a candidate files for each
township or he will not have a
complete slate.

Secrest Obtains
Dillon Dam unds
Construction Continues
On Licking River Site

According to a statement re-
leased today, Congressman Rob-
ert T. Secrest has been able to
get two and one-half million
dollars on the Dillon Dam locat-
ed on the Licking River, five
miles above GAINESVILLE.
about one-fourth of the wat
er flowing down the Muskingum
River comes from the Licking
River, Secrest said. This dam,
plus the fourteen others we have
already built on tributaries of
the Muskingum, would have re-
duced the record flood of 1918
by seventeen and one-half feet
at GAINESVILLE.
''The total cost of the project
is approximately sixteen mil
lion dollars. With this years ap-
preparation, total of eleven
million dollars will have been
appropriated, leaving a balance
of five million dollars to COM
plete the project. I am hopeful
that the five million dollars can
be secured in the next two years
or as fast as construction can
proceed.
"The reservoir area totals ten
thousand, four hundred acres,
eight thousand acres in Musking-
um county and two thousand,
four hundred acres in Licking
county. The entire permanent
pool of fifteen hundred acres is
located in Muskingum county.
81 was able to get the Licking
Dam approved by Congress on
June %, 1885," Secrest conclud-
ed.

late a national long-range pro-
gram to meet the needs of chill
dren.
j. Gordon Grove, of Colum-
bus, executive secretary of the
commission, said countrywide
groups, composed of leading
welfare, health and education
authorities. as well as leaders in
other fields, were being organ
lied throughout the state to help
the state leaders map out a pro-
gram.
Mr.. Grove emphasized success
of Ohio's future program for its
children will largely depend on
the groundwork and plans made
in various local communities
during the next year.

ance of such a program in the
three neighboring counties.
The government a lr e a d Y
owns about $4,000 acres in the
Muskingum district, composed of
Noble, Washington and Monroe
counties. 1t is the aim of the
forest service to purchase at
least $4,000 acres since that is
the minimum required for the
securing of a forest ranger.
Grabow is expected to make
an early report to the national
forest reservation commission
composed of two senators, two
representatives. and the secre-
taries of army, interior and agri-
culture. His report will include
information on the amount of
land available for reforestation
in this area, its condition, its
relative low value for agricul-
ture and the Importance of get
ting it back into trees.
1t is known that Cong. Robert
T. Secrest is vitally interested in
this project and he is expected
to "go to bat" for the project in
his district and native county.
If the commission should ap-
prove a program for this area,
the U. S. forest service would
be likely to earmark federal
funds for the project.
The federal government al
ready owns several thousand
acres in Noble county. This land
was purchased several years ago
for reforestation purposes. How
ever, Grabow pointed out that
federal funds have been reduced
and until more land can be OBJ
tanned and large scale program
started. this land will probably
be idle.
Noble county still has many
acres of idle, non-productive land
that would be suitable for refor-
estation. Grahow said this land
has become a public problem be-
cause of the tremendous cost in
Volved in maintaining it.

Carl r. Johnson
Named Member Oh
Caldwell Council
Sewage Inspection
For Village Will
Be Held Jan. 26

Carl r. Johnson was appointed
Wednesday evening to the CaId-
well village council at a special
meeting held at the city hall. Mr..
Johnson fills the vacancy created
by the death of DR.. w. E. Rad
cliff, who was elected to the of
flee in the November election.
1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Johnson, owner of Dun-Rite
Cleaners, West street, was cam
didate for mayor in an unsuc-
cessful write-in campaign for the
office.
No official announcement of
the vote was made following the
closed meeting. 1t was learned
from reliable source, however,
that the final count was three
two. Roland Boyd, manager of
the Kegerreis store, was the on
ly other candidate nomipated to
the office.
AT the open business meeting
held following the appointment
of the new member to the coun-
Gil, the group granted the board
of public affairs permission to
sell the old Worthington gas en-
gine at the power plant. The en-
gine must be sold to make room
for the new 500kw generators
which are to be installed in the
near future.
The board refused to repair
alleys running south between
the postoffice and the Harry Sc
mon home. The council main
tanned that the alley was closed
years ago and turned over to the
postal department as driveway.
The council agreed to tour the
city on sewage inspection trip
on Thursday morning, Jan. 26.
Complaints turned in by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and
homeowners on the West Side
prompted the action. The next
regular meeting of the council
will be held on Tuesday eve
ming, Feb. z.

state, or $1,226.48 for every
Ohio f mily, Mr.. Atkinson
stated.
The Ohio chamber official
pointed out that every individual
pays these taxes. both direct and
indirect, in the price of food and
everything used and consumed.
Taxes are absorbed in the selling
cost, and contribute heavily to
today's high. cost of living.
In comparing Noble county's
burden of $l,079,309 in proposed
federal spending, the Ohio cham
ber's statistics showed. that the
amount is approximately 61i5
times the total real, public util-
ity and tangible personal proper
ty taxes collected for all pur-
poses in the county for 1948.
The amount of these taxes in
Noble county was $173,575.00 ac-
cording to the analysis.
The estimates represent the
share Ohio taxpayers would have
to meet for the entire $2,400,000,-
900 federal expenditures as set
forth in the presidential budget.

The grand payoff on the CT
life insurance has started. The
checks began flowing out of
Washington, Monday morning of
this week and will continue un-
til each and every veteran has
received his dividend, whether
it be big or small
There are over 1000 veterans
in Noble county who will BEN
eft from this payment and auth
critics say this is the number
one reason why 1850 will be a
good business year in Noble
county and throughout Ohio.
Veterans are expected to use
their insurance checks to pay up
their debts, especially on their
homes, and in many instances,
buy new automobile.
In the overall picture, some
$2,8O0,000,000 in dividends will
be paid out to 100000 veter-
an policy-holders.
The veterans administration
plans to distribute the checks by
a "block" mailing system. On
Monday of this week, some $780,
900 checks were placed in the
mails to various veterans.
The checks range from go
cents to 1923, depending on the
age of the recipient and the size
of his policy. The maximum will
go to the man or woman who
was less than 40 when he took
out the insurance and carried
$4,000 for the full period from
Oct. 8, 1910 to Jan. l, 1949.
The" government intends to
settle some $20,000,000 to $780,
100000 in old debts while it
pays out the insurance dividends.
Debts owed to the government
by veterans for such things as
overpayments on subsistence al
lowances will be deducted from
the dividend before a check is
mailed.
Each check will carry the
signature of Paul D. Banning,
57~year-old native of Mt. Ver-
non. AS chief disbursing officer
of the u. S. Treasury, he has be-
come the worlds greatest check
writer.
