Circuit Rides Again
BY EVELYN WEAVER

One reason you folks out in
the county have been wonder
ing the whereabouts of my pre-
sence, may be due to the fact I
haven't written any news
column since last June. 1t is
most difficult to get back into
the routine after many weeks
of camp, vacation schools, con-
ferences and the like.
have really been working in
the county since August and
have been getting my thoughts
and activities organized for the
year. Right now, it appears to
be another full year.
Monday evening, we had a
most successful night of plan
ming for our county's youths
activities for the year. The first
date which will be of interest
to you folks is October IL. This
is our Booth Festival at Belle
Valley Methodist church. We arc
privileged this year to have a
representative from the Meth
odist Children's Home at Berea;
also representation from White
Cross Hospital. A notice will go
out to each local MYF group in
the county regarding Booth
Festival details.
1t has been good news to me
to know that there are some
youth groups in the county
which have been meeting dur
ing the summer months. If you
haven't started your fall pro-
grams, you should be getting
them underway. In planning to-
! gether, let us think in terms of
what we are going to do for the
entire year In all Methodist
churches across this conference
and area, this is the year for the
Youth Emphasis program. Most
certainly adults and youth need
to work together to enlist more
youth and it improve the youth
program of its church. And
where it is impossible to have a
youth group, there should be a
concern on the part of the
churches to get its youth 10 dur

way and never refused to per-

He is our champion visitor of the
century.
This lodge has had the en-
campment order two times. The
first encampment was organized
in 1891 and lasted about dozen
years. The second encampment
was organized in 1919 and lasted
about the same length of time.
Prior to 1874, the Rebekah
Degree was a part of the Sub
ordinate Odd Fellows. The char
ter for Noble Rebekah Lodge No.
376 was granted in 1893. They
have strong lodge and are, and
always have been, of great ser
vice to the order.
Their present officers are:

Charles Milligan is District
Deputy Grand Master of this
district and has been very active
in lodge affairs during the past
20 years. He, together with Jas.
Robinson, Ed Ullman and Law
renee Nichols, deserve a niche
in our Hall of Fame.

are invited. This has paid extre-
mely well for them. On inspec-
ton night one petition was read
and they have worked some
degree at each meeting except
ing on guest nights. They have
an excellent degree team and
a complete new set of regalia
for is men. The officers are pro-
ficient in their work, and candi-
dates are fully instructed. Their
DDGM is a member of the lodge,
and he has missed only one
meeting night in two years.
Their new members, as we'll as
the old, are very good in helping
out in civic affairs, and they
have presented radio to a
young man of the community
who is an invalid. Their kitchen
and dining room facilities are
and well-equipped. The
Rebekahs meet in the hall and
are not charged rent. The can
didate who received the degree
for inspection is the 4th since
Jan. l, and they have set a goal
of Is for the year, which l am
sure they will reach. They visit
other lodges in the district with
their DDGM for his inspections.
They are very particular about
the type Of men received into
the Order and do not invite any
who would be a detriment.

and can only say that they
have a model lodge, worthy of
imitation, and show what can be
done with a little interest and
effort on the part of all our
lodges throughout the state.

the Hill-Burton program.
A White House statement ac-
companying the announcement
that President Eisenhower had
signed the Hill-Burton expansion
bill said in part"
Construction authorized by
the new act will release general
hospital beds for the acutely i'll
that are now occupied by patti
ents with long term illness. The
need for more beds for chronic
illness is intensified by the fact
that although the population has
doubled in the last fifty years,
the number of people over sixty
five has risen four fold, and
with the ratio continuing to rise.
Furthermore, average number
of days of disqualification requir-
ed by persons over sixty five is
twice that of persons under
sixty five. Many of this older
age group can be cared for at
minimum cost in the nursing
homes to be built under the new
authorization.
CONSTRUCTION Of diagnostic
and treatment centers will en-
able people, particularly in rural
areas, to receive periodic medical
examination in well equipped
facilities without entering a hos
pital. Such centers will have the
function of an out patient de-
partment in a city hospital.
THE new program went into
operation in mid-July. Nothing
can be done to stimulate nurs-
ing homes, clinics or rehabilita-
ton centers until completion of
surveys to set up statewide
priorities similar to those under
the original Hill-Burton system"
However, there is nothing to
interfere with the IMMEDIATE
start of grants for chronic dis
ease hospitals, provided the fed
eral share can be scraped out of
the regular appropriation or the
few millions appropriated for
the start of the new program
"The need for chronic disease
beds has been kept under con-
tinuous survey and priorities
are ALREADY established. The
latest estimate of the Division
of Hospital Facilities, u. S.
Public Health Service, is that
265,649 more chronic disease
beds are needed"
%If communities are ready to
start on chronic disease hospi-
tails, officials of the division ad-
wise them to move right ahead
the first step is to contact the
particular state health authority.
BY the time applications are
processed, federal grants will be
on hand for the program.

lodge. II IS as follows.
After securing the new lodge
hall in 1915, the lodge was
heavily in debt. Now came a long
struggle to pay for same. The
old lodge hall was sold to the
Knights of Pythias in the early
'20's and the grind was kept up
until February H. 1851, when
with the aid of the Rebekahs,
all debts were retired and the
mortgage was burned.
This opened a new era for the
members when they no longer
had to wonder where the next
payment on the debt was coming
from. 1t left Olive Lodge No. 259
with one of the best halls in the
state of Ohio, unincumbered,
with generous incomes from
rents and dues.
We immediately began i'm
provements. First was the pur-
chase of new regalia for $4,000,
at wholesale price. 1t is regard
ed as the best. Our old regalia
was purchased in 1899
Next, the club room was paint
ed, followed by the painting of
the lodge hall, kitchen, anter-
rooms and halls. A new cover
ing was placed over the floor.
This work was all donated by
members of the order, only the
materials were furnished by the
lodge.
The work was done at saw
ing of not less than 100000 by
the following members, who
have donated more free service
to Olive Lodge in the past three
years than was donated in all
past century by all the members:

Senator's See Boost
In Postal Pay Likely
To Offset Rate Rise
BY the A.soeio.sd Press

Key Senators said today Post
master General Summerfield
may well get a postal rate in
crease Of the. size he has asked
for, but that 1t is likely to be
offset by q pay boost for the
100000 postal employees.
This was the view Of some
members CT the Post ONCE and
Civil Service Committees which
will have to pass on both the
rate bill and the proposed pay
boost. They asked not to be
named.
A rate increase SUFFICIENT to
cover higher pay would be in line
with the controversial report Of
an advisory council to the Sen
ate committee, made public
Monday.
This report made many criti-
cisrns Of postal operations and
asserted hundreds Of millions"
Of dollars could be saved by more
efficient methods. Meanwhile,
it said rate boosts should be held
to a minimum except for what
was needed to Offset a pay hike.
Mr.. Summerfield replied that
the claims Of what could be
saved were ridiculous.
Senator Carlson. Republican.
of Kansas. chairman of the Sen
ate committee and also head
Of the advisory council. declined
to comment, except to say he
would be glad to have the Post
master General present his
financial plan. Mr.. Summer
field has urged rate Increases
aggregating $240 million a year.
Other Senators on the Post
ONCE Committee pointed out
that even II Mr.. Summerfleld is
granted the full $240 million
boost, a pay increase Of about
5000 million would absorb most
Of the new revenue.
Postal employe groups are de-
manding an $500 annual in
crease. But congressional sources
believe the raise is more likely
to be about $400, which would
total $500 million.

their differences over proposed

Knowland of California. the
