P.-T.A. -- and You

You should be a member of the P-TA because it is com munity club made up of good citizens and good parents. Any interested adult may become a member on payment of dues; in Seward this is $1.00, of which 5 cents is national dues, the rest being used to maintain the local branch. The entire organization works to improve the homes, schools and the communities, and the achievements can be felt throughout the nation.

You will become acquainted with the problems of the youth of your community and with other in formed workers can provide for their present need and future development.
 Interested and enthusiastic members build a vital organiza- tion which can by its own en- thusias1n contribute in large measure to progressive programs for child development. You can help establish other needed pro- jects in which children are in volved. You can best become in formed on the curriculum of the school by participation in the organization most closely asso- ciated with the school. You can learn how well it fits into the needs of the complex world of today.
 With 100000 other citizen members of the P-TA you can help build an America where free men stand out as a symbol. Our educational system must strengthen our faith in basic democratic value and our public schools stand out as the funda- mental training ground for good citizenship. Your membership will add your voice to these other citizens whose support and interest in the school program will bring about better under standing of the needs of the growing child. You will work in cooperation with other organi- zations whose pr og a m are based on the common interest of child welfare. In fields of edu- cation, recreation, health and social service the P-TA shares and contributes its experience to joint projects.
 In the Parent-Teacher Asso- citation you count as an individ- ual, it needs your ideas, interest and support. This then is your invitation to join the growing organization whose active pro- gram reflects their faith in the American way of Life.

By Jack Kuenster, Comm.

Stewards Post 3836 has sched- uled a meeting for Monday night February 18th, at 800 o'clock at the American Legion Building and we would like to see all the members and prospective members that can possibly make it there. Meetings are the back ground of any organization-it is your chance as member to express your views and offer your sugestions-and NO organ ization can successfully operate without them. l know, meetings seem to be one of the main things Sewardites shy away from. They seem to be so repul sive that just at the sound of the word meeting you can think of a dozen and one things you should do instead of go to your meeting but how do you expect us to act without your opinion? We're not infallible- we make mistakes-p rh D more than we should, but how do you expect us to act without knowing what it is you, as a member, expect from us? Come on down and express your ideas now in reforming we need those ideas-and let's see if the bunch of us, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars rep resenting an International Or ganization here in Seward, can't make this one of the thriving and up and coming outfits. of our town.
 VIEW. "22" SHOOT r..
 Wednesdays turnout for the shoot wasn't bad considering all the various meetings and the activities on the waterfront and we hope that all of you that couldn't make it this week can show up next Wednesday, Feb ruary 17th, same time, same place. A lot of you shooters haven't shown up yet-come on down.

Noble County Motorists
Urged To Observe Siqns

Patrolman J. A. Fister, of the
Ohio State Highway, Patrol at
Cambridge, today gave the Noble
county motorist the following
advice. Signs of life can reduce
traffic accidents and save many
lives. The traffic signs, signals
and pavement markings called
signs of life are designed to
regulate, guide and protect us,
if we follow them with respect
and courtesy, very often they
will save us from serious acci-
dents.
Patrolman Fister pointed out
that annually fatal accident re-
ports show 70 or more law viola
tions per 100 drivers involved.
Most of the violations listed
are covered by visible reminders
of the law the signs of life
being stressed in this months
safety program Just how impor-
tant signs of life are" he said,
perhaps can be illustrated best
by example.
Have you ever driven down
new highway before the highway
department signs or lane mark
ings and no-passing lines have
been installed?" he asked. IF so,
you probably were surprised to
feel disquieting sense of
insecurity.
Most drivers feel this" he
said. when signs of life are
missing they begin to realize,
to some degree, just how much
trust and dependence they place
on these signs"
con a hill or curve" he ex-
planned, "if there is no yellow
line on your side of the center
white line, your judgment must
serve you instead of the en-
gineer's careful measurement of
visibility for safety in passing"
"This is just one of many ways
in which signs of life provide
both convenience and a safe
guard for motorists" he said.

his time was only 2:12 for the
mile.
In Fridays harness attraction,
the best time for the day was
set by Peter S. Direct, owned
and driven by Sidney Spencer of
Pomeroy, who paced the oval in
2:08. In this event, the Pomeroy
horse also captured both heats.
L. c. Young of Caldwell was
the presiding judge and Fred Nc
Vickers of GAINESVILLE, the as
Sociate Judge and announcer.
Mr.. McVickerss was unusually
good in this capacity and kept
the racing going at fast clip.
The three judges were C. G..
Osborne, Frank Neuhart and
Brady Archer. Pearl Mcmahon
was the starter. A new rule pre-
vailed this year and all horses
were started 200 feet from the
wire by Mr.. Mcmahon.
The outrider for the racing on
Thursday and Friday was Dana
Watson of Cumberland.
The Baker Sales and Service
was in charge of dragging the
track and keeping it in tip top
shape. The harrow was owned
by the Caldwell Implement and
Supply company.

YOUR
ELECTION
LAWS

In addition to the Office Type
ballot, Ohio electors will vote
on a Non-Partisan ballot at this
General Election. The election
law provides that the Non-Par-
tisan ballot shall contain the
names of all candidates for cleo
ton to judicial offices; office of
member of a Board of Educa-
ton; township offices; and of
fices of municipal corporations
In which primary elections are
not held for the nomination of
candidates for political parties,
and municipal corporations hav-
ing charters which provides for
separate ballots for elections for
such municipal offices.
The only offices which will
appear on your Non Partisan
ballot in this even-numbered
year election are state, district
and county judicial offices. The
law provides that the names on
the Non-Partisan ballot shall be
rotated in the same manner as
the names on the Office Type
ballot. The one outstanding diff
ference between the Non-Par-
tisan and Office Type ballots is
this. No name or designation of
any political party is printed
under or after any candidates
name which is printed on the
Non-Partisan ballot.
At this election there are three
judges of the Supreme Court of
Ohio to be elected. There viii be
one Judge of the Court of Ap-
peals elected in each district.
and In each county there will be
one Judge of the Probate Court
elected except in Cuyahoga
county where two are to be
elected. A Judge of the Court
of Common Pleas will be elected
in about half of the counties.

said to have been engraved with
the Ten Commandments > and,
according to tradition, Solomon's
Seal was a star sapphire.
Most sapphires are found in
Burma, Australia, Siam and
Ceylon, and steel-blue sapphires
have been found in Montana.
Either the plain or starred sapp-
hire is traditionally worn by the
September born. The star in a
sapphire, by the way, is an
optical effect, formed by bands
of light reflected from within
the stone when it is seen in
sunlight or a bright light. This
star appears when a rough star
sapphire is cut into several
smaller pieces, if each piece is
properly cut cabochon.
Sapphire jewelry for women
rings, pins, earrings, bracelets
and necklaces blends or con-
trasts beautifully with virtually
any color. Sapphires are often
seen in combination with dia-
monds or othr colored stones.
Especially popular and practical
for men are sapphire rings in
platinum or gold settings.
