THE NEWSPAPER TREND

More people read newspapers today than ever before
yet the number of papers is gradually growing smaller Old
newspapers are dying faster than ones being
established
The trend is toward one newspaper towns John M.

pointed out in article in the latest issue of The Quill
magazine for Journalists that we are not going to have
fewer one newspaper towns going to have more.
His views are interesting to u.s. SO much so that are

In 10 of the is not single community with

This Week
in
Washington

Senate Ratification of the
japanese peace treaty before the
tentative adjournment date of
October / is a possibility, accord
ing to administration leaders
here. In the meantime, a senate
floor battle over the strong re-
commendation of the finance
committee to tax cooperatives, is
almost a certainty, much to the
surprise of the strong farm bloc
in both houses of congress. That
the proposed tax bill exempts
co-ops under 100000 in assets,
exclusive of inventory, is not
much of a satisfaction to the
farm bloc leaders, since, if pass
ed, the tax bill proposal would
reverse national policy of 35
years standing to exempt CO.
operatives from taxation.
While the senate this week is
struggling with the overall tax
bill and other legislation, the
house is in recess waiting for the
upper body to get caught up with
its work. The senate has been so
| beSet with investigations that its
regular standing committee work
has suffered.
For once, the much maligned
Voice of America withstood an
attack in the senate when that
body refused to accept finance
committee recommendation for
a $22 100000 cut in funds for the
state departments international
information and educational acti-
whites agency, which conducts
the Voice of America programs.
However the agency did not
come through unscathed, since
budget requests totaled $115,000,-
900, which the house slashed to
$85, 100000.
Then the senate committee
came along and would have cut
it further to 63,0O0,000, but as
was pointed out, action on the
floor restored the $22,000,000 to
the figure as it came from the
house. The senate did, however
approve the full budget request
of $25, ,164655 for the radio
broadcast division, the program
which handles the Voice"
House reductions &ere from
budget requests in other inform
ational activities.
Two amendments affecting the
department of justice were ap-
proved by voice vote in the sem
ate, one amendment offered by
Senate Kefauver, Tennessee, to
increase by $50O,O00 funds for the
anti-truSt-division of justice de-
partment and another Kefauver
amendment to increase by $70,-
900 general administration funds
of justice. The latter funds
would be used to put into effect

ONE H UhD R Ed
YEARS
OF
N 0 BILE G O Unit Y
BY
ARCHIE r. MORRISON

Before proceeding onward to
Jefferson township, to which
most of this installment will be
devoted, it seems fitting to de-
vote another paragraph to
Harriettsville, Elk township -
from which the writer has CLEAN
ed a few additional facts. For
these facts he is indebted to the
venerable retired teacher, T. E.
Martin, son of w. c.. Martin, a
former physician and surgeon
of Harriettsville, long since de-
ceased. Harriettsville was named
for Harriet Spencer, daughter of
Moses Spencer, on whose farm
this once flourishing town was
first laid out. The Postoffice was
also named for Harriet, and has
never been changed.
So far as we know, no written
record exists in this connection,
but the memories recalled to us
by T. E. Martin at his home last
Monday, can be definitely con-
sidered as authentic. We read
there a letter from Charles H.
Williams, a former teacher and
Methodist preacher, who grad
uated from Ohio Wesleyan, Del
aware, Ohio, and who later at
tended Harvard and received a
Doctors degree (probably Doctor
of Divinity. Doctor Williams
later became pastor of a Con-
gregational Church and a large
Presbyterian church in suburb
of historic Boston, Massachusetts
Jefferson township, just west
of Elk township. is situated in
the southern part of Noble coun-
ty. North of Jefferson are Enoch
and Stock townships. The ex-
treme western part of this town
ship is bordered for one mile by
Jackson township. To the south
lie Salem and Aurelius town
ships in Washington county.
At the formation of Jefferson
township, the larger part of il
came from Monroe county, and
the remaining smaller part from
Washington county. It's outline
Is rather irregular. The West
Fork of Duck Creek flows
through the southwest corner
but it is chiefly drained by
Middle Greek and its tributary
streams. The surface is quite un-
even, the streams being bordered
by high, abrupt hills containing
an abundance of coal and lime
stone. This limestone has been
deposited quite literally distri-
buted throughout the bottom
lands of the township, thus rend-
ering them quite productive in
agricultural crops.
The Upper Salem," or "Cum-
berland" seam of coal is found
in these hills at the proper eleva-
ton. AS is now being done by
