A SOLDIERS MEMORIAL

The full power to determine what kind of soldiers
in the Board of Trustees but their decision be approved
or disapproyed by the Noble County Commissioners:
Boiled down to the bare facts this is the situation
which has developed in this county
The board of trustees numbering II from every walk
of life and appointed by the commissioners feel that the
decision to the type of memorial should from the
people or the taxpayers, if you please.
The commissioners want granite stone slab of
marble the courthouse lawn and they won't
settle for anything less Thru their spokesman they told
trustees this very plain language and went
step farther and said they would sapprove any other
suggestion.
$4,000 in u S. Government bonds in local bank This
the general fund and represents part the money receiv
the sale the old county home several wears ago
However, the commissioners have intentions of
spending all this money on monument slab OF marble
but felt that $4,000 would be fair figure.
The American Legion auxiliary Summerfeld erected
very fine granite monument to SETTLERS wars last
taxpayers idea of what $4,000 would way
granite or marble slab in the courthouse lawn
AT their regular meeting, Friday evening" the newly
organized and very active American Legion post Belle
Valley adopted resolution that they preferred soldiers
Memorial the proposed hospital for Noble county
In other words, they want living memorial to the
veterans of all in this county and they have resolved
This resolution will be sent to Secretary William Davis
of the Board of Trustees duly presented body
when they hold what will probably be stormy second
session on the night of June 1st.
There is happy solution to the entire problem
will be presented and might to be the solution.
Spend about $1,000 marble granite shaft to be
erected in the Noble county courthouse lawn to veterans
of all wars. This would please the Noble county
missoners.
Then have the commissioners by notion set aside the
balance of the receipts from the county home amounting
to about $4,000 for the only of having soldiers
memorial in the newly proposed hospital This would
please the board of trustees most of the veterans oraniza
tons and above all the taxpayers of Noble county.
One would be dependent the other and the board
voted to have the marker then the commissioners at the
time would earmark the balance of this money for the
hospital 1t would have be in writing for political promises
aren't worth nckle.
The county home until it of existence was
always supported by the taxpayers and in reality the
fin M proceeds from the sale of the home actually
thosGbf the taxpayers.
This would be fair distribution of the money and in
the final analysis everyone would be happy.
1t will be recalled that several months ago the Noble
county commissioners transferred $4,000 from the general
fund to the dog and kennel fund for the purpose of paying
sheep claims 1t to light that this money came
from the sale of the county home.

troubled world of The youthful eager, sarryeyed
graduates face this monumental occasion with mingled
emotions and SO do their parents
Unfortunately, in this machine age, the of
awarding diplomas also is of counting disaster
Young hearts gay with hope and achievement, rfe
apprehensive Of the future cocky, becose It's
epochal moment of transition not unlike tots very first
day at school
Sometimes pentup emotions exploded in bursts of
speed and other foolish capers during Commencement Week
activities Homes everywhere saddened by injury and
death among the flower of youth Parents generally
concerned about this although they may not voice their
fears public What to do to minimize the danger? In
communities civic church and faernal organizations have
adopted plan keep the celebrating boys and girls from
racing all the countryside in automobiles after the

No Room for Second Glass
Citizens

A pamphlet recently came to
my desk, carrying the intriguing
title, Preference VS.. Fair Play.
It's opening paragraph gives
definition of American fair play
with which l heartily agree. 1t
reads: "An outstanding charac-
teristic of the American citizen is
his sense of fair play. He doesn't
care for punches below the belt,
or brass knuckles, or blackjacks,
or the people who force them
selves into ticket line ahead of
him"
Reading on, l found that the
pamphlet deals with preference
clauses in the various flood con-
troll and reclamation laws that
bind the Department of the In
terror to give first call to public
bodies and cooperatives" for all
electric power generated at Fed
eral hydroelectric projects. Ac-
cording to the writer, this means
our Government sets up two
classes of citizens-those privi-
legged to buy without question
all of the Federally-generated
electric power they need, and
those second class citizens who
get only what is left, if any.
This didn't seem like the
American Way, so l checked on
the author, A. J. G. Priest. l
learned that He is Professor of
Law at the University of Vir-
ginia, was formerly Chairman of
the Section on Public Utilities of
the American Bar Association
a man well qualified to write
authoritatively on this import
ant subject.
AS the power situation now
stands 20 per cent Of U. S. citi-
zens have right to buy all of
the U. S. Government electricity
they can use, simply because
they are members of a coopera-
tive, public utility district, or
similar public body. The remain
ing 80 per cent who buy electric
power from investor-owned cleo
trio companies, can only have
what is left because such COM
panies are not preferred Gus
toners.
| If the original intent of Con-
! greSS had been carried out,
there would now be little com
plant about the law. For ex-
ample, Section 5 of the Flood
lControl Act of 1914 provides that
telectric energy generated at re-
Iservoir projects shall be dispos-
ed of "in such manner as to en-
courage the most widespread
use thereof at the lowest pos.

This Week
in
Washington


As usual, not too many busi-
nessmen and industrialists are in
complete agreement as to exactly
what lies ahead for American
business. For many months the
opinion generally expressed was
that things would level off dur
ing the second quarter of 1854,
possible pull up bit from the
recession" in scattered areas
during the first quarter of the
year.
The National Industrial Con-
ference Board announced re-

manufacturing companies, study
ing figures for January and Feb
ruary 1854, and comparing them
with the same months of 1853.
Comments from FL per cent of
the participating companies in
dicated that their business had
been significantly affected by
the showdown in general bust
ness activity, with metal indus
tries (7l per cent? being the
hardest hit.
F'lfty-seven of the companies
met the situation by reducing
their work force. Sixty-two
instituted shorter work weeks.
Overtime work was sharply cur
tailed and payrolls declined cor
respondingly. Forty-six compan-
les reported that profits had been
adversely affected.
One Of the significant facts
brought out was that fewer than
ten companies indicated they had
any plans for curtailing capital
expenditure programs, although
six out of ten were significantly
affected by the business decline.
Executives felt that business
improvement would surely come
during the End quarter.
| Most of the companies report

1854, was only slightly lower
than in January, although decid-
edly lower than a year ago, when

Painting Outdoors Furniture
Spring is the time for brighten
ing things up, indoors and out.
How about your outdoors furni.
turef If il. looks dull and shabby,
1 couple Of coats Of paint win do
wonders for It.
Before you start to paint, make
sure the surface is smooth, clean
and dry. Remove blistered or peel
ing paint by scraping, sanding, or
with liquid paint remover.
Fill cracks and gouges with
Plastic Wood. Scrape out any
rotted areas and use the Plastic
Wood again as a filler. If legs or
arms are wobbly, strengthen the
joints with screws.
You won't want the screw heads
to show ND under the new paint, SO
countersink them in shallow holes
drilled with a brace ard bit. Fill
in over the heads with Plastic
Wood as shown in photograph.
When using Plastic Wood as q
filler, always fill slightly over
full. Then, when the filler has
hardened, sand it flush and
smooth.
Before you dip your brush in
the paint, stir it thoroughly, right
from the bottom of the can. Con.
tinue to stir from time to time, so
as to maintain the same shade and
thickness.
Two thin coats are better than
one thick one, but don't apply the
second coat until you are certain
the first is completely dry.

"Under our Constitution - the
supreme written law Of our coun-

the power in their hands.
They give the government GER
tain powers and they retain the
rest themselves or entrust some
powers to lesser bodies such as
state governments.
"This distribution Is clearly set
down in writing and the constitu-

not only TO Init the power OF the
states but those Of Congress and
the President as well.

Admiral Towner said at is not
enough TO have a written constitu-

means for putting its principles
into practice and assure that the
principles are put into practice.
THE people must also be in a
position to periodically call their
elected representatives to account,
and one sure way Of doing this Is
by fairly frequent election inter-
walls.
THE elections must be secret
