Prosecutor to Demand The
Conservancy District To
Refund County S342 Sum
Liggett Declares
Union Not Repaid
For Early Costs
Member Counties Had
To Put Up Money
To Get Things Started

Union county prosecutor Luther
L. Liggett in a letter to the board
of directors of the Scioto-San-
dusky conservancy district has
made a demand that the county
be reimbursed for $342.9l given
the district headquarters several
years ago.
Declaring that unless a salts
factory explanation is made why
that amount is not repaid the
county, Mr.. Liggett stated he
would start legal proceedings to
recover the money.
In his letter to the board the
prosecutor stated:
"It has come to my attention
that the Scioto-Sandusky Conser-
vancy District has not repaid IN
ion county for the money ad-
vanced to the preliminary fund
of the District.
at appears that shortly after
the District was created, the sew
eral counties therein were as
sessed the sum of $16,000,00 to
cover preliminary expenses. Ac-
cording to the Union county Audi
tors records, Union county was
assessed $342.91 as its share of
the said expenses which sum was
paid to the District on April 22nd,
1885. His records further show
that the county has not yet been
reimbursed for this advancement.
GAS you well know, it is man
datory that your Board immedi-
ately reimburse the general funds
of the counties upon receipt of
funds from any source provided
by statute for the raising of rev.
enueS for the District and you
have had in your hands since l948,
adequate funds with which to pay
this small sum. In fact, you re-
ceived from your three tenthS mill
levy on Union county property
alone $5,687.96.
at seems highly inconsistent 10
me that your Board, being so
jealous and eager in enforcing
and carrying out TO the letter the
provisions of the Conservancy Act
can be so willfully dilatory in
withholding funds properly due
this county.
"Unless some satisfactory ex-
planation is Immediately forth
coming regarding this unwarrant-
ed delay or the full amount is
paid, will cause to be instituted
proper proceedings to recover
Union county funds"

Watkins to Head
Soil District Here

Reorganization of officers has
been held at a supervisors meet
ing of the Union Soil Conserva-
ton District with S. P. Watkins
elected as chairman, Amer Elliot
as vice chairman, Kenneth Evans
as secretary, and Ralph Herd as
treasurer, according to Chris
Boerger, retiring chairman.
The board discussed the 1851
plan Of work for the district and
among many activities listed will
be a demonstration on permanent
pasture renovation this spring.
The board feels that on the basis
of both acreage and production,
pastures and meadows are of
great economic significance to the
agriculture of Ohio. Well-man-
aged pastures on good land can
yield returns equal to those Sc
cured from grain crops.
In addition to the above mem
bers, the following were present:
Roy A. Kinnaird, district conser-
vationist of Mt. Gilead, Frank
Greeneisen, county extension
agent, and Halsey Eleyet and
Ross Dodd from the county soil
conservation office.

servicemen's readjustment allow
ances under the federal c.. Bill
of Rights, Mr.. Rogers said.
Claimants drawing benefits un-
der the Ohio law received $3,540.
Of this amount, $2l5.00 was in
dependency allowances received

them available at prices within
the reach of all who want them
enough to exchange their work
for them.
Inventions and the products of
machines have made themselves
part and parcel of our lives. Our
high standard of living is due to
the help of machines. The hard
est toll by everyone in the world,
without machines, would not
provide anything but a scant
living for anyone. Machines
make possible the extras, the
new necessities of life, which
add brightness to living. The ma
chine, not the dog as popularly
acclaimed, is really mans best
friend"
The back-breaking, physical
energy which the American
worker used to contribute is now
provided by manufactured pow
er. Contrary to the belief held
by some that it has made him a
robot, many a workman is proud
of operating a powerful machine
with full responsibility for its
control.
The machine also has benefited
the farmer. Now he works with
tractors, harvesters, mixers and
other machines that make life
easier on the modern farm. 1t has
given the farmer new horizons,
and far from making him a robot,
has made him king of the land.
Machinery in the future, if we
use it fully and properly, will
enable us tc secure the same
amount of commodities for half
as much work. While hard work
has been passed along to the ma
chine and generated power,
human service still remains the
sole creator of output, because
it is the workman who keeps the
power flowing and the machin-
cry running.
There are three factors that
enter into good production-will-
ing workers, capable manage
ment and efficient machines
Management's responsibility is to
increase the productivity of ma
chimes by fostering research and
development of new engineering
and manufacturing techniques
Workers responsibility is tc
make every machine yield its
utmost in products. This does not
mean setting a killing pace OF
the old "speed-up" days, but
simply giving an honest days
work for a fair days pay.
Funds must be made available
