The filing OF this complaint
represents fili-scale attack on
Jim Crow In railroad travel
which stiil persists despite su-
prene Court rulings banning such
practices. For the first time, seq
ragation IN railroad stations and
the facilities In such stations is
challenged pursuant TO a deter
mination by the Association TO ex-
tend the attack upon segregation
in local institutions. In this In
stance, however. the NAACP con-
tends that the railroad stations
are In interstate commerce mas
much as they service railroads
which cross state lines.

COMMUNITY FESTIVALS

There has been deluge of festivals and homecemngs
in this section of the state during the few weeks but
nary thing has been done in Caldwell foster such
event take part the sesquicenennal celebration
of the state of Ohio.
Helen Meek and the Summerfield American Legion
Auxiliary started the ball rolling several months ago and
it since that first event that practically every other
community has taken up the idea and likewise made
out of it,
Now the welcome that the Caldwell
volunteer fire department will sponsor such festival in
Caldwell during 1854 The committee has been appointed
and with such early start the festival should be that
will make money for the fire department.
Although all members volunteers, have long
felt that the local fire department lacking the
initiative to be up and growing organization their
feet.
the past they have always relied on council their
every need and in practically every instance they have
gotten it.
But pleased to learn that the Caldwell fire
department is shaking the council shackes from their unit
and emerging at long last their own two feet
The festival in 1854 will be the very thing to give them
the backing and money necessary for other community
projects fosered and backed solely by the fire department.
We especially feel that the Pleasant City fire depart
ent deserves orchid this week for sponsoring the
festival last Thursday Friday and Saturday which netted
them several hundred dollars.
Their project not much the festival deserves the
praise They eventually going to provide recreation
center for the children of that community Eventually they
hope to have swimming pool but this is long range
planning.
There is question that Mayor Jack Hannum and
members of the Pleasant City fire department need much
in the way of equipment for their needs.

He died without realizing this ambition but in losing

Truly he could be called that by all who followed his
political course chared by the Almighty and abruptly
ended at the peak of his career
A fitting tribute to Senator Taft made by his
colleague, Senator John W. Bricker, in the following:
"He had faith in his fellowman. He believed man is
entitled to be free and govern himself That faith
people to him and when he assumed the high office of
leader of the Senate of all faiths and Of all parties

He had great faith in system of government as

AN OUTSTANDING OFFICE

One of the outstanding offices in the courthouse and
which is making money for the county than
any others is that of Recorder Benny j. Fowler
During the past few years. has enjoyed phenomenal
growth and indications point that it will continue.
The records reveal that only far back 1949 the
county recorder turned the commissioners about
$4,000 in receipts
IN 1882 the receipts jumped to the all time high OF
approximately $4,000
The receipts go into the general fund and used by
the commissioners for normal operation of the entire
county
But still the coal lease oil and gas leases and mortgages
continue to pile and this year the receipts will be
large if not larger than 1858
check of the conveyance records reveals many
fers of real estate and hardly of them without
mortgage. This increase in fees
Any office that making for the county in such
increased amounts should receive every consideration and
requirement from the powers that be.
All the above has been accomplished with increase
personnel and certainly at cost to the county
But should the office need little appropriation
it should be theirs only for the asking

Make Life Beautiful 80.
James w. Sullivan


We can't live without "hope. -
Is it hopeless to hope for better
things to come our way? Too
often we say, "We have given
up hope" when we are merely
seeking encouraging words from
others for when all hope is gone,
there is no living.
Can we define "hope?" Web
ster tells us it is "a belief that a
certain thing is obtainable: de-
sire with expectation of obtain
ing what is desired"
Hope is most valuable but
often our hope. is used or based
on uncertainties. If this is true,
then it can't be based on belief
or faith for a hope that is based
on faith is the thing we desire,
In these days, this is the hope
we can't live without Why dc
we object to mercy killings. It's
hope. Maybe some one will come
up with a sure cure for the
disease.
Why do we spend billions OF
dollars in foreign lands or send
our boys to foreign lands to
fight wars. Why do we educate
our children. Yes, it's hope that
does this and faith is the basis
Even as we face these dark
days, there is no need for despair
for we still have one thing ano
it is hope. For if we hope we
also have love. For as the ole
adage goes, Where there is
life there is hope"

One reason for traffic neurosis
is that today practically every
city in the US. has traffic laws
which simply cannot be enforced.
For example. Judge Murtagh
says there is no reason why, m
cities like New York, overnight
parking in residential areas
should not be permitted. 1T
would be impossible" he says,
to find enough garages and
parking lots to accommodate the
cars in any big city.
1--WE must change our traffic
laws to make them workable.
Every city should appoint a COM
mittee to study its laws and up
date them. Also, drivers should
be spared the kind of verbal
abuse that is still meted out by
cops. There is never any excuse
for rudeness. That's one pressure
we could relieve IN a hurry"
If you'd like to determine to
what extent you are becoming a
victim of this traffic hysteria, ask
yourself these questions. The
desirable answers should be
obvious.
I. If a driver cuts in on you, do
you try to get even, shout abusive
language at him?
Z. Do you pull over to let the car
behind you pass?
3. Do you lie when you are
caught speeding. parking over
time, ETC.?
4. Do you help a stalled motor
ist who asks for a push?
