In Auto MishaD
Continued from hrst page)

State police said the two men
were enrOute to an accident on
y. ). Route l3, south of Dover near
Woodside, when their car skidded
on the drizzle-soaked highway,
went out Of control and rolled over
several time along the BERN. Both
men were thrown out of the auto
mobile.
State police said the accident oc-
CURED on a curve about three miles
south OF Smyrna at 2:47 a. m. A
light drizzle had left the road in a
hazardous condition, and the police
car started to skid after TrOOper
Turner swerVed to avoid striking a
dog which ran into the road from
the brush.
Taken To Dover Hospital
Both injured men were taken to
the Kent General Hospital in
Smyrna American Legion ambu-
lance. After preliminary examina-
ton and X-rays it was found ad-
visable to move Trooper DOlan to
the Delaware Hospital for the
emergency operation. Accompanied
by a doctor, a nurse and Mrs. Do
Ian who had been brought to the
hospital by fellow troopers, Dolan
was brought to Wilmington in the
hospital ambulance.
Meanwhile, the accident to which
the men were en- route was trans
ferred to the BridgeVille troOD for
investigation
1t involved an automobile driven
by Harry Lee Fisher, Jr., of Ports
mouth, Va, en- route south on u. S.
l3, about one and three-tenths of
a mile south of Woodside.
State police said that a front tire
on the vehicle blew out, Fisher lost
control Of his car and it overturned
into a ditch. The vehicle was de-
mOlished.
Harrington Man Injured
Howard Tucker, 81, of Harring-
ton, received decorations of the
right knee and right forearm and
possible fractures of the ribs
when the automobile he was driv-
ing ran off the left side of Route l3
near Harrington and struck a tele-
phone company pole. The pole was
broken off and the front of the autoy
mobile smashed.
State police said that Tucker
apparently went to sleep while
driving. He was on his way home
from a taproOm which he operates.
He was arrested by state police on

pose price fixing on persons who
have not contracted or agreed to
the scheme, the situation is vastly
different. That is not price fixing
by contract or agreement; that is
price fixing by cOmpulsiOn.
That is resort to coercion"
Justice FTankfurter. in a dissent
ing opion in which Justice Black
and Burton joined, said experience
has proved that unless merchants
who don't sign fair trade agree
ments abide by the fixed prices.
"The state acts would have been
futile"
Price-fixing in interstate COM
meree generally was prohibited by
the Sherman antitrust law, passed
in 1890 But Congress in 1887
adopted the Miller-Tydings amend
ment to prescribe minimum prices
for trade marked commodities
where state laws authorize such
agreements"
The only states that haven't
adopted such laws are Vermont,
IeXaS ana missouri.
The Supreme Courts action ap-
parently won't save the average
shopper any money-at least for
some time to come.
Many UncOnceFned
Most merchants didn't seem very
concerned for a number of reasons.
The Supreme Court said a mer-
chant who has not signed a fair
trade agreement can charge what
he wants to for what he sells.
But the decision apparently does
not affect merchants who have
signed fair trade agreements COW
eTing goods that are. sold nation
ally. Nor, apparently, does it affect
the sale under fair trade laws of
goods that originate and are sold
in one state only
And IL a merchant wants to start
cutting prices on nationally adver-
tised goods, what's to prevent the
manufacturer 6Fom just refusing to
supply him with products for cut
price sale?
Moreover, trade sources also
pointed out. merchants aren't anx-
ious to start price wars these days,
when most Of them are under fed
Grad price control, or threatened
with it.
In some states. also, fair trade
minimums are well below the going
price of the item.

Under state fair trade laws, dis

goods may enter into agreements
with retail dealers to sell their
product at fixed minimum prices.
Can Charge What They Wish
The Supreme Court didn't say the
agreements or the laws which per-
nit them are invalid. It merely said
a dealer who doesn't sign the uni
form price agreement can charge
anything be wishes.

New Orleans. SchWegmann Bro

Reserve Whiskey for 1885 and Sea-
grams Seven Grown for 1851. I'm
der an agreement between the dis
tillers and other retailers, the "fair
trade" price was $4.24 for each
item.
Schwegmann hadn't signed the
fair trade agreement. The distillers
brought suit to force SchWegmann
to charge the higher price. Lower
courts upheld the distillers but the
Supreme Court reversed their de-
,cisiOn.

Justice Douglas declared:

Bond Quota For
Noble County
Set tAtsls,OO0.OO
L. G. Young Is
Chairman For
This Vicinity

L. c. Young, Noble county
Defense Bond Chairman, today
announced that the county has
been given a quota of $19,00000
in Series E Bond purchased, for
the drive which opened Labor
day and closes October 27.
In announcing the quota, the
volunteer chairman noted that
this is the first Defense" Bond
drive.
He said that civic, service,
fraternal and patriotic organiza-
tions throughout the entire state
were promoting bond sales more
actively during this drive than
at any other time since the end
of v orld War II. This promotion,
acco ling to the chairman, is the
backbone of the drive"
1--WE have several organizations
working actively here to promote
The purchase of extra bonds
among their members" the
chairman said, ''but, perhaps
even more important, are their
efforts to step up the Payroll
Savings Plan in local business.
We must not forsake any one
field of potential bond sales for
any other and whether bonds are
more easily purchased directly
through banks or post offices or
through automatic Payroll Saw
ings, we must do everything we
can to make our quota"
1--WE cannot hope to come out
of our present crisis five do not
take every possible step to make
our country and our local COM
munities economically strong"
the chairman said. II hope every
resident of the county will get
behind this drive not just for
Americas sake but for his own
personal security and that of his
family"

BE it resolved and hereby
determined by the Board of
County Commissioners of
Noble county, Ohio, that it is
necessary for the purpose of
erecting a memorial and i'm
proving site of memorial as a
memorial to all veterans of the
United States Armed Forces of
all wars; improvements to con-
sist of a playground, picnic
ground, swimming pool and shell
ter house, to issue and sell
$50,000 of bonds of said county.
Said bonds shall be dated ap-
proximately the first day of
January, 1852 and shall bear in
terest at not to exceed 6 percent
per annum."
According to Auditor Jack
Wilson the bonds would mature
in the amount of $4,000 each,
numbering Is, and the final date
of maturity would be January /,
1857.
In the meantime, Auditor Will
son will take the resolution and
determine the exact amount the
proposed bond issue would tax
the individual property owners
thru-out the county. The cost of
such a project has already been
estimated as extremely low on
county wide basis.
At a meeting of the Noble
County Ministerial Association,
Monday, in the First Methodist
church, the proposed Memorial
Park, was discussed and although
they did not go on record, the
individual ministers indicated
they were in favor of such a
living memorial to the soldier
dead in this county, as well as
the many advantages offered by
swimming pool, playground and
other facilities for the young
people of this area.
Erection of such a park in this
county has long been needed and
the citizenry feel that now is the
time to support the bond issue
and make the project a reality
within the next year.
The Noble county fair board
has indicated their willingness to
cooperate with the Memorial
committee as to the location of
the proposed Memorial, provided
an agreement can be reached
with the county commissioners
and the county engineer, relative
to the exact amount of acreage
needed. The fair board has ask
ed that the engineer survey the
plot of ground needed for this
purpose.
