County And Ohio

The infantile paralysis season
is at hand in Noble county and
parents are urged to use every
precaution to prevent a local
epidemic, by Mrs. William
Fleming, polio chairman for this
county.
Mrs. Fleming pointed out that
there is no reason to believe that
polio will strike in this county
hut if polio should hit the COM
munity, residents are asked to
pa yattention to good, common
sense health rules recommended
by the national foundation for
infantile paralysis.

ach, stiff neck or back.

temporary preventive of Grip
pling caused by polio. 1t is ex-
tremely scarce. There will be
only about one million doses Of
GG available in the entire ma
ton from now to September.
There are about 46,000,000 chill

United States Department of
Agriculture says man burned
211,000 acres of forest in 1852.
Foresters. estimate the value of
timber prior to destruction at

Man burned more forests than
any other agency The forest

pressed a total of 1865 fires in
1852. OF these, 1921 were caused
by man.
Smokers cause 1891 fires by
Tipping cigarette butts and
matches and by knocking out
pipe ashes. Fire bugs set 1880

81 Refuse To Answer

VI,
The police set in to investigate.
The purpose of the investigation
is to arrest the individual sus-
pected of the crime and turn
him over to the court for trial
by a jury of his peers.
During the course of this in
vestigation, the police must nee
essarily follow every clue, big
or small; they must interrogate
any or all persons who have
been near the scene of the crime
around the time it was commit
ted, and any and all persons
related to or known to the vic
tim who might be able to offer
some evidence leading to solu-
ton Of the crime.
In the course of this investiga-
ton, hundreds, yes, perhaps
thousands of entirely innocent
people will be questioned. Where
were you at the time the crime
was committed? Were your rela-
tions friendly with the deceased? ?
Do you know of anyone who
might have had a motive to
commit this crime? Those are
but a few of the thousand and
one questions that the police
must ask.
Now, suppose that one of the
questioned refuses to tell where
he was when the crime was COM
mitted, on the grounds that any
thing he might say might tend
to incriminate or degrade him.
What would be the reaction of
the police to that? Just what
yours would be-a strong sus-
picion that the evasion indicated
personal guilt or some know
ledge as to who committed the
crime.
To put it as charitably as pos
sible, the person refusing to ans
Wer is guilty Of obstructing the
wheels OF justice, and on that
score alone condemns himself as
bad citizen.
By this time you are probably
wondering at what l am driving
with this most elementary tale
of crime and obstruction of
justice. Please read on.
Appearing before Congression-
al Committees and other investi-
eating committees during the
past few years have been thou
sands of witnesses who have
stood on their Constitutional
rights by refusing to answer GER
tain questions, on the grounds
that to make reply would tend
to incriminate and degrade them.
The one question that has been
evaded on that pretext more
than any other is: "Are you now
or have you ever been a mem
Der of the Communist Party?"
The so-called liberals. call the
investigations of these commit
tees witch hunting" But is it?
Do not the laW-biding, patriotic
citizens of this country have a
right to know just who are
allied or have been allied with
a party that seeks to destroy
America and to take away their
freedom? Surely, if we have the
right to spend billions of dollars
aboard and offer up the lives of
thousands of our young men to
fight Communism and stamp it
out aboard, we have more than
d right to fight it here within
our own boarders and stamp it

Hay Making Kills
Pheasant Hens, Chicks

Practically all of the hen
pheasants nesting in hay fields
at hay-making time and most of
the young chicks are killed by
moving operations every year
according to the director of the
Wildlife Research Unit at Ohio
State University.
E. II. Dustman explains that
this will reduce the potential
fall-pheasant crop this year. The
peak of pheasantnesting will
coincide with the peak of hay
making activity. Modern high
speed moving gives hen little
opportunity to leave their nests
IN time to escape the cutter bar.
He says the destruction of
pheasant chicks is even more
important to the fall-game crop.
Dustman says farmers who at
tach flushing bars to their trac-
tors can cut hen pheasant losses
in half and reduce chick slaugh-
ter by 70 percent. Most young
rabbits also will be saved.
Research shows that most of
the hens that have their first
nests destroyed but get away
safely will make another nest
and even a third nest if neces-
sary before the end of the nest
ing season around July 4. Hens
saved during June hay-making
still will be able to contribute
to the fall pheasant crop.
Farmers can obtain the use of
a flushing bar by contracting
their county Wildhfe manage
ment agent or game protector.

Parents have the responsibility of
escorting younger children to and
from school until good safety habits
are established, it was recommended
this summer in a school safety cam
paign designed to eliminate many of
the hazards involved as tots are
thrown on their own in learning to
cross streets.
To prevent loss of life and injuries
to school children, the following rules
have been suggested:
1-Work out and use the safest
route to and from school with your
child, taking into consideration not
the shortest distance, but rather the
safest crosswalks, etc.
2-Where there is no policeman,
teach the youngster to stop on the
curb, look both ways, and watch for
turning traffic before walking across
the street.
3-If it is necessary for your
child to walk on a roadway, teach
him to walk on the left edge of the
road, always facing traffic.
4-Impress your children with the
need for obeying all traffic officers,
school crossing guards, school safety

Historic Item
| Is Added to
|DAR Museum

The OAR Museum has just
received another addition to its
valuable historical collection
a gold and white dessert plate
once owned by Charles Thomson,
first secretary of the First Con-
tinental Congress.
In announcing the acquiSi-
ton, Mrs. Fay Chaires Edgar,
assistant curator of the museum,
said that the plate bears Thom-
sons monogram, and that it will
be placed with other relics as
sociated with the founders of the
Republic.
Thomson was a friend Of
Thomas Jefferson and helped to
finance the American Revolu-
tionary War by pledging $4,000
of his own money.
The plate was presented to the
OAR by Mrs. Helen Millen of
Sussex, N. j., descendant.
Thomson was an Irish immi-
grant who came to this country
as a boy with his widower father
and five brothers and sisters.
The father died en- route and
the children were left to shift for
themselves. The boy became in
dentured to a blacksmith.
His fortunes soon changed,
however, when a New Castle, Pa,
philanthropist became interested
in his desire to become a scholar
and sent him to the New London
Academy, where he excelled in
Greek.
After his retirement from an
active political life, Thomson de-
voted himself entirely to Schol-
arly pursuits, and in 1903 gave
the world the first American
translation of the Septuagint
into English.
The OAR Museum, which is
located at 1776 D street NV, is
free and open to the public five
days a week. Monday through
Friday, from 9 am. to 3 pm.

Jaycees Are Urged
By Prentiss 10 Back
Public Works Plan

Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner, yester-
day urged the Junior Chamber of
Commerce to back the Districts
$685. million public works pro-
gram.
Gen. Prentiss outlined the pro-
gram, presented to the White
House earlier yesterday, at a
Burlington Hotel luncheon.
He emphasized that the city
has had to come up with a plan
that will win Congressional ap-
proval.
Its simple to get something
like this approved by the people,"
the Commissioner. said. But
it's not so simple when Congress
must be convinced, as we'll as
the taxpayers who do not live in
the District, but who, in the final
analysis, must put up money for
the loan and grant the program.
Speaking of the proposed in
crease in water rates to help fl
nance the works program, Gen.
Prentiss pointed out that even
if the higher rate goes into effect,
the average water bill in the Dis
trict would still be we'll below
that of comparable cities.
At any rate, the Commissioner
said. if the proposals go through,
the city's water system renova-
ton should be completed and
paid for by 1890.

ODM 10 Distribute
Gamma GIobuIin 10
Prevent Polio in j. ),

The Office of Defense Mobili-
cation today announced it hac
completed plans for the distribu-
ton Of gamma globulin over the
Nation this summer as q polio
preventive.
ODM is responsible for the
overall coordination of the
blood program. and the collection
Of blood products.
Amount to Be Set.
The plan is designed to pro-
vide State health departments
with as much gamma globulin
as possible by the beginning OF
the polio season. ODM will de-
termine the basic ALLEGATION to
a State based on the average
number of polio cases reported
over a f1ve-year period.
Additional ALLEGATIONS will be
made when cases exceed this av-
erage. In areas where polio
reaches epidemic proportions,
efforts will be made to provide
enough gamma globulin to allow
area wide inoculations.
Made From Blood.
Gamma globulin, manufac-
tured from blood, will be pro-
vided by the American Red Cross
Blood Collection Program and
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
Under the plan, the State
health departments will be the
sole agency for dispensing gamma
globulin. The States must de-
velop their own ALLEGATION ssys-
tenn after receiving their allot-
ment from ODM.
