Help Fight Polio

Even though Noble county had but infantle
paralysis to be treated by the funds raised last years
drive to treat case just everything else costs
1t is because of this situation the Noble County Chapter
for lnfantile Paralysis $4,000 in the red
1t owes hospital bills doctor bills special nursing and
orthopedc appliances supplied the Elk township victim
Imagine what would have happened to the one Noble
county victim without the help the local chapter gave and
you realize how indispensable the foundation is.
The Noble county chapter started its annual March of
Dimes campaign last week. Its objective double the
funds otang $l788O0 previously raised to fight polio
It's chairman, Fred F. Fox and vice chairman Robert
Dennlso explain that in addition to making up the exist
ing $4,000 deficit the chapter must have sufficient money
to help any other unfortunate victim who may fall prey
the dreaded disease
Noble county has been fortunate in that its
been few yet the just Noble county lad has
depleted the treasury of its $4,000 balance enjoyed
conclusion OF last years successful drive.
The chapter spent 100000 last year. 1t needs
twice that much this carry adequate program
In order to provide it, Noble county will have to
give than twice the $OOOO because half the
rbutons to the March of Dimes the National Founa-
on 1t is thru these funds that studies
financed and is the ultimate hope that day our
giving NOW will free the children of the world from the
scourge of polio

This Week
in
Washington

Because the public press has
been 50 full of graft and cor
ruption" in the operation of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton, the annual report of this
agency of government as filed
this week by Stuart Symington,
administrator, turning over to
the U. S. treasury dividends of
$16,345.8l2 on the corporations
capital stock of $100,000,00O, is
important.
The RFC also turned over to
the treasury $75,000,OOO resulting
from proceeds on the RFC pro-
duction programs in synthetic
rubber and tin, and from liquida-
tic~ If wartime assets. And ad-
ditior u $4,000,000 was paid on
account of net proceeds from
liquidation during the fiscal
year &C assets of the smaller
War Plants Corporation.
So this is a total of $95,345.812
turned over by RFC to the fed
eral treasury as net income from
1851 Another operation still in
the production stage is that of
Manila. RFC now operates five
abaca plantations in Central
America with $4,000 acres under
cultivation and $4,000 acres to be
planted by December, 1852. Sale
of hemp during the year was 49,
987, 200 pounds with production
of 19,500.850 pounds. In its lend
ing activities, the report shows
that during the year the corpora
ton approved 3,27l loans for
$290,000,000 of which almost 80
per cent were in amounts of less
than 100000.
At the close of the year the
corporation had outstanding
1000 business loans with bal
ances of $606,00O,0O0. This is
decline of 1902 loans and $l08,-
100000 compared to the figures
for June 80, 1850. The $108,000,-
900 reduction in the dollar
amount outstanding is largely re-
Election of full repayment during

1t will be remembered that
President Truman asked for res

which ran RFC and named a
single administrator, Mr.. Sym
ington, with a loan policy board
composed of the secretary of the
/ treasury, the secretary of COM
merce, the RFC administrator
and the RFC deputy administra-
tor. Final decision on all loans
rests with a review board within
the corporation in Washington
and policy of full disclosure of
loan information has been in

age may cause some of them to
close their doors, or greatly cur
tail their activities.
Trade union leaders continue
to agitate for higher wages,
backing up their demands, with
much justification, by pointing
out the shrinking purchasing
power of the dollar. "Escalator"
clauses, already written into
many wage contracts and being
written into more contracts with
each passing month, call for
pay adjustments when the
Bureau of Labor Statistics index
moves up or down. Unfortunate
ly, that index currently travels
in only one direction-up.
Dollar profits of business,
swollen by fictious inventory
gains and by the inadequacy of
depreciation charges to cover re-
placement costs, give distorted
idea that business is making ex-
orbitant, unreasonable profits.
This encourages union labor to
demand higher and higher
wages, so that workers will par
ticipate in the imaginary excess
profits.

money has always been a sign
of national strength and Solvency
and when people witness money
losing value and feel that it is
going to keep on losing value,
they lose confidence in the in

manipulates it.

Danger Behind The Mask

An editorial in the Saturday Evening Post recently
warned that many of so-caled "ntellecuas still

So the communist dictatorship betrayal of the
democracy which the Russian people tried to set 1917
sad to restore the rights of the people peacefully put
down by the communists with savage ferocty.
The Post is correct in pointing out the confusion and
effort to establish democracy and establish the rights of
the people Our domestic collecvists will realize the
danger of Russian communism until they learn the truth

1t is laudabe objective, for if we could induce the
millions behind the iron curtain to revolt against

But among the sponsors of the FFRF are persons who
have favored favor increase in the power of the
Government to control the economic life our country
Some of them have openly and consistently fought against

categories
We permit our eyes to be blinded to the real
danger at home by the glamor of saving world abroad
We must not be misled by administration which at

ONE HUMID r Ed
YEARS
OF
N 0 BILE co UNITY
ARCHIE r. MORRISON

With this installment, We shall
attempt to finish our account of
carly happenings in Stock town
ship. Many of the early settlers
wore garments of deerskin and
"buckskin breeches." Moccasins
were also generally worn by
both men and women in those
days. Barnesville was the near
est trading post until Olive and
Summerfield came in being.
Powder was a much needed arti-
Gle, and squirrels were so num-
erous that raising corn was i'm
possible, unless the farmer or
his sons spent a great deal of
time in shooting them. James
Archer made powder for his own
use and for his neighbors.
Eli Curtis built the first brick
house in Stock township in 1928.
In those days a brick house was
looked upon as an unprecedented
piece of extravaganza. From 1885
to 1910 Martin Crow, Enoch
Grandon, William Smith, and
John Mcbride erected brick
houses. Some of these may still
be standing. James Archer erect
ed the first brick house near
East Union about 1841. Just east
and northwest of the writer's
home are two such houses, built
at the present site of the build
ings.
The following incident was
related by an old resident of
Stock township Martin Crow and
Enoch Enochs who lived in the
vicinity of Carlisle, made hunt
ing and trapping a profitable
business. Crow was hired by the
month by Enochs to hunt and
trap fur-bearing animals and
beasts of prey. So great was the
revenue derived from the sale
of skins and scalps of some ami
mails that Enochs found the busi-
ness quite a profitable one.
On one of their hunting eX-
peditions, Martin and Enoch got
bear in a sink-hole, in which
there was three feet of water.
A log lay across the hole, and
Martin, in attempting to cross
it, lost his footing and fell astride
the bears back. Taking a firm
hold on the bears neck on each
side, ne kept the animals head
up to keep from being bitten.
Enoch, watching the performance
beside the pool dared not shoot,
fearing that he might wound his
companion. Finally Martin sue
ceeded in getting the bears head
in a favorable position and ord
cred Enoch to fire. This he did,
and the hunter was quickly re-
lieved from his unfavorable posi-

The first of the Yankee settlers
was Eli Curtis, a wide-aWake
and progressive man who came
from Massachusetts, in 1916. He
was one of the first to occupy a

Dollar DOldrumS

According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics index of con-
sumner prices, the 1851 dollar was
worth only 38 cents in compar-
ison with the 1918 dollar of 100
cents and SO cents in comparison
with tie 1889 dollar. The dollar
is on a creased toboggan slide
and unless there are drastic
changes in policy in Washington,
the 1852 dollar will deteriorate to
a further low in actual purchas-
ing power.
This shrinkage in the dollar
is working a great hardship on
older people living on pensions,
insurance proceeds or money
they prudently have saved up.
