ONE HUMID r Ed
YEARS
OF
N O BILE CO UNITY
ARCHIE r.. MORRISON

On Saturday morning, Oct. 13,
came most welcome letter
from Mrs. George Eyssen, 78
West Lincoln, Delaware, Ohio.
Mrs. Eyssen states that she en-
joys these articles "One Hun
dred Years." and that she was
raised one mile below Middle
burg. She seems to have over
looked the fact that her uncle,
John Williams age was correct
ly given as either 100 years and
four months or 104 years. At
least that was the intention of
the writer. She says that we
named about all the people in
Middleburg except Kate Marsh,
the milliner, who sold hats, with
prices from $500 to $500; and
that not many of the $500 ones
were sold.
Many other letters are COM
ing from people interested in
these articles. These letters are
quite welcome and will receive
due consideration at appropriate
times. At this time, however, we
feel it necessary to continue our
information cleaned from Wat
kinS History of Noble County on
the early settlers of Enoch
township.
Ephraim Hupp, son of Francis
Hupp, was something of a
character. On one occasion he
went to GAINESVILLE to enter a
tract of land. When asked where
the tract lay, he responded,
Lays up alongside of dads big
medder." But what range and
township is it in?" he was ask
ed. Il don't know what township
it is in; but it is the best id
range you ever saw; weeds and
pea vines up to your waist" was
his reply.
David Cunningham, who was
a pioneer on the place later
owned by Captain Moseley, had
one of the early horse-mills in
Noble county. Robinson Sanford
was a New England Yankee,
whose son Dwight, was a justice
of the peace and one of the early
judges in the county. James
Rowlands was prominent early
settler in the southwest corner
of iEnoch township. The early
elections were held on the creek
known as Otterslide on the Rice
farm. The Rices were pioneers
who came from Marion township
William Rice and his sons,
William, Harrison, and George.

Despite number of impor-
tant measures hanging fire, it
began to look as though the con-
gress might adjourn in the midst
of it's unfinished business and
call the first session of the 82nd
congress history.
A conference committee on
the tax bill was expected to
agree in most instances with the
senate-passed measure. Major
provisions as passed by the sem
ate were: increase of II per cent
on present taxes of individuals
or, eight per cent on income
after taxes, whichever is less;
raise in maximum effective
limitation from 81 per cent to
88 per cent with no change in
the Is per cent capital gains tax
defective date was Nov. /,
1850; increase in corporations
normal rate from Is per cent to
27 per cent and in surtax from
% to Is per cent, giving a top
bracket combined rate of SO per
cent on normal and surtaxes;
ceiling of II per cent than can
be taken in excess of profits; re-
tention of average earnings
credit for excess profits tax at
IS per cent of earnings in the
three best years in the four-year
period 1946-49-effective, April /,
1851; no change in maMmum
capital gains.
Insofar as individuals are con-
cerned, the bill means they will
pay about 2 per cent more taxes
on 1851 income, while next year
they will pay about IL per cent
more for married folks up to
100000 and singles up to $4,000.
On higher incomes, the tax in
crease will be smaller percent
agewise. Higher withholdings
will be required on pay on or
after Nov. /.
For farm co-ops-they are still
tax exempt except for a cor
poration tax on earnings not
allocated or distributed to pa
tron members. Mutual savings
banks and savings and loan as
sociations must pay corporation
tax on earnings, but are allow
ed deductions for losses on loans
and amounts paid to depositors
or credited to their accounts. A
minimum of Is per cent of in
come must be set aside tax-free
for reserves, or a larger per
cent of set aside as long as total
reserves, surplus and undivided
profits, do no exceed 10 per cent
of the total deposits. Some ex-
else taxes were increased and
others added to the list.
AS adjournment neared, the
box score of this first session in
dicated that President Truman
had sent 81 requests for action
to the Hill, and as of Oct. l
action had been completed on 81,
seven had been rejected, partial

BALTIMORE, Feb. ia Fed
eral judge disagreed yesterday
with the pacifist pleas of Larry
Atkins and sentenced the 18-year-
old college freshman to 4 Il years
in prison.
A student at st. Johns College
in Annapolis. Atkins pleaded
guilty to violating the Selective
Service Act. He had written
President Truman that he would
not register for the draft because
he believes war is wrong and an
individual should resist it, as well
as preparations for war.
Before Judge William C. Cole
man passed sentence Atkins told
him. IF all the people who oppose
war, who hate war, would refuse
to fight, then there would be no
war"
Suppose Baltimore were at
tackled" asked the judge. How
about your father, your mother

In that case. said Atkins, he
probably would fight, might even
kill an enemy soldier. But he still
didn't think he should be part of
an organization striking back at
that enemy's mother and father.

New Burner Uses
Water for Fuel

Two Utah men say they have

George Jackson and William
Daugherty, both of Salt Lake City
have applied for patent on their
process. Mr.. Daugherty yesterday
said experimental estimates in
dicated a pint of water could be
used to heat a four room house
for four hours.
The patent application says
water is heated, under pressure
by alcohol. Then, the inventors
said. 1t emerges from jets, ap-
parently broken down into the
two gases-hydrogen and oxygen
which make up water. These
burn at intense heat, the inventors
said, and alcohol is needed only
to get the process going.
Mr.. DaugherJy said he could
make a homemade burner fol
SIS. 1t would also burn other
fuels, he said, without leaving
carbon deposits, oil film or making
smoke.

Until now, permanent status
workers in non defense agencies
were assured of unemployment
rights only if they transferred to
critical jobs in defense agencies
jobs in short supply that were
designated by the commission as
critical positions.
The new policy allows perma-
nent-status workers to transfer to
any kinds of jobs in the defense
agencies.
Temporary employees, of course,
do not have unemployment rights.
The commissions new policy
came as a result of the Defense
Departments request that this oe
done to accelerate hiring in the
defense bureaus. Defense officials
pointed out that many employees
in non-defense agencies were re-
luctant to transfer unless they
were assured of unemployment
rights in the old agencies.
