Wallace Campbell. director of the

to go through the meat grinder before
other committees which haven't a re-
sponsibility for this job to prove that
we are warranted in having some chan

Miss Helen Hall Of the National
Consumers and director of New York's
Henry Street Settlement has a wry
word, too.
"Out of SO people testifying on the
Defense Production Act. there were five
consumers representing national Or
ganizations who had the hardihood to

The lack of courtesy is not the only
consumer complaint. Representatives
of groups concerned with consumer
problems maintain they are tired of
being considered the tail to the kite of
big business, big labor or big Govern
ment. Citing these three "bigs," Senator
H. Alexander Smith, Republican, of New
Jersey says, "these three groups are
highly organized and each plays
tremendous role in influencing legisla-

Gillette resolution, called for help in

Secret Service

The letter on miss Truman's Body
guards" was written just like q true
Secret Service man would write. How
ever, I'm in accord with M. F. B. and
L. l.. s. that the contemplated trip to
Europe by Miss Truman can certainly
be accomplished without IS escorts.
Two Secret Service men would not
only have wonderful trip but get paid
American dollars that seem to be some
what of a problem to the Treasury
Department today. It is also known
fact that we are understaffed in the
Secret Service and every man is vitality
needed at home for more important
work than to go sightseeing all over
Europe. There are any number of young
American girls touring not only Europe
but other continents and seem to be
getting along without SIS protection;
also those women in important places
in the press and Government who man
age to go unscathed without Secret
Service men supervising their safety.
The taxpayers money is the issue in
this question and should be considered.

"The year 1851 will long be

we graduated from small
country bank into an eight and
one-half million dollar corpora
ton. While we took over the
assets of the Chardon Branch
Office of The Central National
Bank of Cleveland in October
1850, thereby increasing our to-
tails about SO per cent, it must
be remembered that we were
still operating two offices at the
end Of 1850. It was not until
August of 1851 that we all got
together again under one roof
in our new Banking quarters at
100 Center ST., in Chardon Viii

"The combination of the CLAM
our of our new quarters, in
creased interest paid on savings
and continued inflationary pres
