lot so returned.
The secret ballots contained in
blank envelopes would have to
be opened and counted in the
presence of the duly authorized
representatives of the union, the
employer and the NLRB.
After the counting of the votes
in the duly authorized manner,
the result Of the balloting would
immediately be made known
through suitable notice.
If the vote is in favor of a
strike, no work stoppage could
yet be instituted. The law would
require a period of so days elapse
from the date results of the
strike vote are posted. This
waiting period could be utilized
by the disputants for the pur-
pose of endeavoring further to
resolve their differences.
There is no doubt that this
suggeste dplan of mine will
create some controversy. Some
people will assert that such a
system of voting infringes upon
the rights of the union worker
and especially upon the rights
of the union leader. Labor bosses
may argue that if a system such
as this be required of the unions,
it should likewise be required of
all chartered organizations not
coming under the Taft-Hartley
Act-organizations such as the
Masonic Order, the Knights of
Columbus, Rotary and other
clubs.
My answer to this argument
is simple: Such organizations are
not by their very nature express
sions of economic power. They
do not pull strikes or in any way
injure the public. Their activi-
ties do not deprive you and me
of our right to-use the telephone
or ride train or street car. They
don't throw picket lines around
business establishments. No
child, because of them, has ever
been deprived of milk, no home
of heat, no human body of prop
er nourishment.
This plan, if enacted into law
as an amendment to the Taft
Hartley Act, would, l believe,

Make Life Beautiful 60.
JAMES SULLIVAN

After reading the Editorial of
January 25, in the Journal, l
believe anyone will have to ad-
NIT that Noble county is really
progressing. 1t is encouraging to
know the people are looking
ahead, not thinking only of
themselves, but are still planning
for the future of our children
by sacrificing for a new school
building. 1t is people with this
spirit who have made America
prosper, and it's the same kind
of people who are going to win
in these dark, troublesome
times. 1t takes some one to give
before anyone can receive. But
if one is to do all the giving
and never receives, than he, will
soon be bankrupt in material
things. But there is one thing we
can give and the more we give
the more we have and that is our
love for one another. | believe
the people of Noble county are
demonstrating their love for our
children in a good way. There is
no better way to happiness than
giving. We can always leave a
memorial behind if we give. But
on the other hand if we keep
taking we are always in debt.
Remember the word that were
meant for us, God loves a
cheerful giver."
Caldwell and Noble county are
to be congratulated for their
stride forward. It's the people
who makes the progress, instead
of the progress making the
people.

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

Payment of a second special
dividend totalling $685., 100000 to
the holders of some eight million
National Service (GD Life In
surance policies has been an
nounced by Carl R. Gray Jr.,
Administrator of Veterans Af-
fairs.
Dividends will be calculated
/ through the anniversary date of
the policy in 1851 and payment
will be distributed over period
of one year. First checks will be
ready in April.
VA urged veterans not to write
regarding this second dividend,
since correspondence would
cause removal of the veterans
file from the production lines
and delay payment.
The payments will cover a
three-year period, from 1948 to
1851 and policies held in force
for three months or more during
this period will be eligible for
dividends. This includes both
term and permanent plan poll
cies, including those which have
lapsed or were terminated by
death of the insured veterans.
The amount of the dividend
earned by each policy will vary
according to the number of
months it was in force, the plan
of insurance, face value of the
policy and the age of the insur-
ed at the time it become effect
i've. VA said studies on rates to
be paid are still being made.
VA explained that the first
special dividend of $2.8 billion,
payment of which has almost
been completed, covered the per-
iod each policy was in force up
to its anniversary date in 1948.
The second dividend will be for
the number of months from that
date to the corresponding date
in 1851. Policies issued in 1948,
1949 and 1850 will earn dividends
up to their anniversary in 1851.
Unlike the first dividend, no
application will be required for
the second dividend.

grants, veterans service and
other fixed and continuing
charges at $19,084,000,000, COM
pared to $20,166,000,000 for the
current fiscal year.
In addition actual appropri-
ationS to be requested of con-
gress including programs for
which spending will be spread
over several years, will amount
to another $23, ,9O0,O00,000 in new
cash and obligational authority.
Much of this sum will not be
spent until 1853 and will there
fore show up in the expenditures
budget of that year.
Despite this upswing in gov
ernment spending, the bureau
of the budget analysis shows
that in 130 different appropria-
ton items there was cut of
about $5.7 billion below amounts
approved by the congress for the
same purposes in fiscal year
1851. Some defense items were
cut below the 1851 budget, in
Guiding about $1.3 million for
veterans benefits.
Generally speaking, the con-
gressmen generally approved the
Presidents plan to enact a tax
bill to raise some SIG billion
more in new taxes on a pay-as-
We-go basis.
There is a new battle under
way on Capitol Hill on whether
to retain the single-packing
omnibus appropriation bill or to
return to the old multiple mea-
sure system of financing the gov
ernment each year. Congressman
Clarence Cannon, of Missouri,
chairman of the house appropri-
ations committee, who helped
pioneer the omnibus bill, is
staunchly committed to retain
the present plan.

Wednesday, Governor Lausche
and Governor Youngdahl of Min

Speakers rostrum. Governor
Lausche introduced Governor
Youngdahl who spoke to the
House members. He stressed the
need of unity and cooperation in
this country if we are to remain
free and strong. He mentioned
his visit to Berlin last Summer
when the Freedom Bell was
rung. He contrasted life in West
Berlin and East Berlin. His sum-
mary was that no matter what
the price may be to save our
American way of life it was
worth the price. Governor
Youngdahl came to Columbus to

Two bills were passed. One
bill, although affecting only
Logan may have far-reaching eff

request similar legislation. 1t
provides for the election of
county fair board by the electors
at each general election and not
at the annual meeting.
The second bill extended for
another two years the authority
to boards of education to issue
bonds for the purpose of acquir-
ing or sites or constructing any
permanent improvement up to
eight percent of tax duplicate.
This bill was passed as an emer-
gency measure and becomes eff

Earth's wearing tolls and

Till God called him home to

And we sit in quiet alone
To our hearts there comes a

If he could only come home
Though we cannot clasp his

And we see him smile no

We will pray that God will

Rest with him when life is

Dear Sirs:

The Journal
Caldwell, Ohio
Dear SirS:
There seems to be some doubt
in the minds of many Noble
County folk as to why the
County Home has not been on a
paying basis. They ask: WHY
hasn't it made a profit? I, too,
am wondering WHY!
After reading the Public Sale
Announcement on page five of
last weeks Journal I have come
to the following conclusions: u
The County Home farm is not
stocked with any more livestock
than the average farmer of this
county q The average farmer
has more than 35 head of cattle
to his farm, harvesting ground
included. 81 The County Home
is certainly not operated on a
profitable basis because there
hasn't been enough production.
a. The County Home can make
a profit-other County Home do
it,
Here is what I propose that the
Noble County Commissioners do:
u Above everything else-do
not sell the County Home. The
money would only be spent
and then there would be nothing
left. q Be prepared to spend
some money on the County
Home for at least two years
after that it would be on a pro-
fitable basis. 81 Arrange in some
way to plant 80 A. of corn, 20 A.
of wheat, IS A. of oats, and to
have about A. in meadows to
be used for hay in the winter.
A. Purchase of the following:
100 head of good sheep, Is head
of good milk cows, 10 sows,
1000 chickens, and 500 turkeys
in the spring. 81 Immediate
purchase of one tractor with
necessary equipment at the time.
g. These purchases would
amount to about $4,000.
Here is what would happen if
the County Home was managed
properly: y The farm would be
on a paying basis the FIRST
YEAR of operation, if it were
properly managed. p The
SECOND YEAR should bring at
least a $1,000. profit to the
County!
/ do not propose that all of the
above be purchased at once,
since some cows, etc. are already
on the farm. But 1 do recommend
that at least $4,000 be spent the
first year, and a lesser amount
the second year.
If this is done I can see no
reason why the County Home
cannot be operated at a profit.
At the beginning of the third
year every room at the home
could be filled with the age
and still there would be a large
profit.
My advice is LOOK, LISTEN
and INVESTIGATE BEFORE
YOU LEAP!
Sincerely yours,
A Reader with Foresight

one. 1 had a boy who went to the

Dear Sir:
Eighteen year old boys have
no voice in government, no vote,
irresponsible for their acts and
are under their parents guidance
and parents responsibility until
twenty one years of age. I am
definitely for military training
for 18 year old (boys not mem
up until the age of twenty-one,
with at least two years, training
and better still three years, we
would then have fighting men.
Otherwise we would be wasting
lives and man power.
And the drafting of veterans,
those who saw active duty-no,
unless the time comes that it is
absolutely necessary. However,
those who received training in
World War II and saw no active
duty overseas, would take up
where they left off, naturally
that would take or include quite
a number of married men. But
boys must be trained and made
tough and strong (tough in the
way of health).
The question is being asked
should civilians be drafted. If
we can judge the future by the
past, we will find that the war
plants were running over with
men and women workers, how
ever, if there isn't enough
volunteers then radio broad
casts urging more workers usual
ly does the trick. Another quest
ion is should we pull out of
Germany and build Gibralter
at home? We should build our
Gibralter, but definitely have
our front line defense in west
ern Germany and France. Still
another question is-should we
use the atomic bomb in Korea?
l think l would lay one down
there in about the way and in
some remote and uninhabited
place as a feeler for Stain, to
see if he would retaliate. Rather
expensive, but perhaps not in
the long run. 1t would all de-
pend on critical circumstance
and conditions existing there
and I believe those in charge
will know when to use the A
bomb. They did good job in
Japan. We, of course, are not as
immune as we were at that parti-
cular time.
Another question-should Dean
Acheson be retired from his re-
spective office? He might get
somewhere with other countries
if our own quit making it en-
barrassing for him. If we don't
like him, can you expect Stain?
They are so skeptical anyway.
1t makes little difference who is
in there, we'll fight Communism
and all other subverSive activi-
ties in our midst here.
Another question-Would you
be willing to have your taxes
raised to 30G6 in order to pay-as-
you-go? Perhaps most of us
wouldn't care if they really did
pay as they go. $50,000,000,O00 is
going to be spent and our in
dustry should get the greater
part of it in contracts, so our
government should get a good
percent in return, in income
taxes. After all the budget is
figured on the income taxes-no
work, no taxes, better wages,
more work means more income.
So we just have to have work
to keep ourselves and govern
ment going. My personal belief
about the atom bomb would be
to make smaller ones and lay
more down over a larger area
and then one immense one in
one particular spot to sever the
artery of the greater part of our
subversive activities, (Where
most originate). We've been
