Issues"
Peters laid it on the line:
The masses of the world are hungry. And when,
through magazines and movies we tell them of our
overabundance. they do not respond with respect and
love - they only pull their belts little tighter and
hate us little more"
He told the of the oil lands and the cattle lands
1T is not too late to win the battle for mems minds
and for the peace of the world trust all of us do
that shall win any into which we might blunder
be plunged But our goal is not merely to win the
1t is to win the world for all that is ultimately
right and good"
What Can We Do?
AND when they looked up from the pews with faces
asking What to do?" Peters told them that America
must make its spiritual force felt in the world "by
teaching to read helping them build DAMS showing
them how better to cultivate their soil and for
their health in short how to rise out of their igno
rance, disease and misery. 1t would be the imposition
of particular culture. 1t would be the unfolding of
way of life in spirit of Christian love and democratic
friendliness - and it would stop Communism cold"
The Oklahomans went home but they couldn't forget

fiscal year.
Grand total receipts from pre-
paid sales tax stamps for the
state amounted to $188,741, ,801,
an increase of 1913 percent over
the previous year,
Counting eight million resi-
dents for Ohio, the amount per
capita of sales tax stamps was
$3.50.
Calculating the value of the
goods represented by these
transactions Tracy figured that
Ohioans spent approximately
Sc, ,266, ,666, ,666 for items subject
to the sales tax during the last
year.
Four hundred and fifty tax
agencies took care of sales of
stamps to 225,OO0 vendors.
Although most persons threw
their stamps away, 60,403 or
ganizations and individuals in
fiscal 1858 applied for redemp-
tions which totalled $2,855,669

State.

A grand total of $2,073,0 ,0O5
has been collected in Geauga
County by the Ohio sales tax
from its beginning in 1885 to
June 80, 1858, it is announced
by Roger w. Tracy, Treasurer

The Bigalows aver that Hull
died without having any real or

Munson CAM
Agree On
School Needs

MUNSON- A joint meeting
of the Committee for Better
ment of Munson School with
the group who opposed the re-
Gently proposed School Bond
issue, scheduled for Tuesday
evening, was abruptly cancelled
today. In notifying Mr.. Frank
j. Fink, chairman of the
Betterment Committee, Mr.. Ell
mer Summers, spokesman for
the opposing group, said mas
much as no common grounds
for compromise existed his
group saw no point in such
meeting. Mr.. Summers indi-
Gated that his opposition group
is unalterably opposed to any
change of school site.
Commenting on the failure
to bring the two groups to-
gether. Mr.. Fink said, Their
decision not to meet with us is
a blow to the unity of Munson
Township. We had hoped that
it would be possible to resolve
our differences so that uni
fled School Plan could be pre-
sented to the voters and which
would have the wholehearted
support of the entire commun-
ity. Our township of Munson is
not large enough to support
the luxury of two factions. /
still hope we can get together.
"Our subcommittee has de-
vised comprehensive plan
that is calculated to lay the
basis for a sound school pro-
gram looking forward fifty
years or more. Munson is rap
idly growing up into suburban
status. We cannot afford to live
in the past and try to hold
back the tide of progress. Much
as we loved our horses we had
to see them go in less than
tweny years. Our Committee
for Betterment of Munson
School wants to save money
too, by spending wisely. We
have the plan to do it.
"Our forward-looking plan
will be unfolded at a full COM
mittee meeting on Friday, De-
cember 4th, $50 pm, at the
home of Mrs. Willard Parker
on Rockhaven Road. All inter-
ested persons are invited"
