with the more Intangible moral correct
ness Of segregation. AS the philosophy
of the Board Of Education states, chill

best teaching our children democracy.
they should associate with other chill
dren Of different racial and religious
backgrounds and learn to get along with
each other. Morally, there is no excuse
for withholding from any child the op-
portunity to associate with children Of
other races. Morally, there is no justifi-
cation for the implied inferiority q
child is made to feel when he is Segre-
gated. There can never be separate but
equal schools, for morally to be separate
is to be unequal.

Civil Service Poy

StVta SGtytSS ~
Mrs. st. Georges recent plea in Com
greSs for common sense IN the handling
Of civil service pay matters was en-
couraging to us &C s" who are used to
being treated In accordance with polit-
ical expediency. Automatic adjustment
of salaries on the basis OF the cost-of-
living index. as she proposes. appears to
be the only fair and practical method
for Congress to settle this perpetual
problem once and for all. In fairness.
the same method must be applied. also.
to pensions, which should be honored
on the basis OF real worth, similar to
adjusted salaries. am confident that
an inquiry to all civil service employees
would show universal approval Of Mrs.
st. Georges proposal In spite OF union
officials who may become unnecessary
If Congress discovers common sense.
Please, Mrs. st. George. also introduce
some of the same common sense In the
squabble over annual leave. This has
developed into another political show
and dishonest whiting game. which
only antagonize loyal civil service en-
ployes and wastes time In Congress. The
manner In which the leave established
by law is used can not conceivably affect
the economy Of the Government, but the
accumulation Of leave for long, distance
travelling, for trips abroad. for educa-
tion and similar purposes is one Of the
few inducements for entering and pur-
suing q civil service career. # this is
lost, Uncle Sam has very little induce
ment to offer civil service servants Of
the desired quality. G S

Corn Production
To Be Stepped Up
PIMA Outlines
1852 Program

William H. Archer, chairman
of the Noble county division of
the Production Management as
sociation, has announced that the
farmers of the county wishing to
participate in the 1852 farm pro-
gram must have their request in
by April l, 1852.
He further reported that the
farmers of the nation are asked
tc step up the production of
corn around 49,. This does not
necessarily mean to plant more
acres, but to use better farming
practices, such as planting high
er yielding hybrids that are
adapted to your locality, higher
rate of fertilizer per acre, and by
blowing under or side dressing
nitrogens on productive soil.
After the corn is harvested,
store in a place that is rodent
free. We think that if the fore
going suggestions RI adhered
TO, Noble county will produce
her proportion of grain.
The United States department
OF agriculture has announced
that the 1852 crop of orr will
be price supported at not less
than a national average of $l.60
a bushel, according to Mr.. Arch
er, who is chairman of the Noble
county agricultural mobilization
committee.

The Fishing Lure
Yet TO Glimmer
Only IA Resident
Fishing Permits Issued

The present weather certainly
is no incentive for the followers
of Isaac Walton to catch fire and
move in the spirit of their glori-
fled predecessor.
Indications are that Wintry
blasts and gales will continue
during the month of March, and
this will naturally curb the num-
Der of requests for resident
fishing permits.
Village Clerk Violet Morgan
edge stated today that Lester
Thorla of Caldwell route, was
the number one issuance on her
list. Clerk of Courts Walton
Starr issued his first permit to
William Thesis of Crooked Tree.
Starr has issued three permits
TO date.
The next three permits issued
by Clerk Morgareidge were to
Ross Schafer and his wife,
Esther, and Robert Dennison, Of
Caldwell.
Only II permits have been is
sued by the village clerk, but
she is of the opinion that once
the weather breaks, the rush
will be on. The liberalized fish
ing laws in Ohio will probably
swell the number of anglers who
will be lured to the many ideal
fishing locations now available
to the outdoor SpOrtman.

Cured to her that her efforts
were entirely in vain.
Peering at the electric clock
perched on the wall in the vii
lage offices, Clerk Morgareidge
stood agape at the movement
followed by the electric clock.
After observing its movement
and noting the time, it occurred
to Clerk Morgareidge hat the
clock on the wall was operating
full blast" in reverse. Instead
of the time reading a little after
900 o'clock, the dog-gon' time
piece read 800 o'clock, with the
wheels operating contrary to
clock-wise procedure.
To attest this strange pheno-
mena, Mrs. Cliff Keyser, part
time employee and assistant to
Clerk Morgareidge, positively
stands pat that seeing is believ-
ing"
Correct! The clock was soon
made to read correctly.

Refers Meter Bid
Request To Clerk
School Delegation
Speaks Out Against
Amusement Tax Law

bers moved nearer to the install
lation of parking meters in Cald-
well by approving the prepared
copy requesting for bids from

bers in their letter felt that they
should not be made to support
the village of Caldwell, but that
the commerce provided the

be sufficient. The letter con-
tinued in part to say that many
farmers were accustomed to
coming to Caldwell on Saturday
and spending all day shopping
and visiting.

ing in the interest of making

amount of revenue derived from
various Functions whose sole
intent was in support of the
school system.
The council, after hearing
from members of the delegation.
expressed favorable considera-
ton. but noted that the matter
would be referred to the village
legal counselor before any
changes would be voted, either
amending or deleting parts of the
present existing amusement tax
ordinance.
