MuskmeIons High
In vitamin A & G

Whether you grow'em and SELL
'em, or buy'em and eaten, there
are some characteristics of good
muskmelons which you should
know, says County Agent John
Moore.
He lists several rules for select
ing superb, flavorful melons.
First, feel the weight of the mel
on. 1t should be relatively heavy
for its size.
Second, inspect the stem end. 1t
should be slightly sunken, smooth.
and well calloused. This is some
times called the "fingerprint" of a
vine ripened melon. If the melon
is mature, Nature will heal the
connection between melon and
vine, thus creating the "callous." 1t
will be dry.
Third, be sure the netting, or
webbing, on the surface of the rind
is well raised, coarse. dry and
grayish in color. The netting
should be well developed and stand
out in bold relief over the entire
surface of a perfectly formed mel
on. The back ground between the
netting should be light in color.

During the states fiscal year,
which closed June 80, the state

According to figures released to-
day for the first six months of
1855 total of 40,050 applicants for
work were given proficiency and
aptitude tests by the State En-
ployment Service, division of the
Ohio Bureau of Unemployment
Service, division of the Ohio Bur-
eau of Unemployment Compensa-
ton.
Ernest Cornell, BUG administra-
tor, said this record-breaking num-
ber of tests represented an increase
of 63 per cent over the total tests
given in a like period of 1854.
Most widely-accepted and most
frequently used are the tests given
for typists and stenographers, thus
providing employers with accurate
previews of applicants speed and
accuracy in typing and shorthand.
Other tests, tailored to meet spe-
cific requirements of more than
300 different types of jobs, are
helping employers to prejudge the
present ability of the applicant and
the amount of additional training
needed.
Cornell said that employers who
are interested in securing qualified,
tested workers should contact the
nearest office of the Ohio State
Fnnloynent Service.

es. Price usually changes in the
opposite direction from changes in
pigs saved.
Usually an increase of 1929 in
spring pigs saved will mean drop
of about 1870 in hog prices during
the following marketing year pro-
vided other factors do not change.
Changes in income affect hog
prices because consumers natural
ly spend more money when they
have more income and part of the
added expenditure goes for pork.
Large pork storage holdings in
creases the total supply of pork
and results in lower price.
Finally, the July price of hogs
is associated with the price of hogs
change of 10eo in July price from
year ago usually indicates a
change of about 2G6 in the fall
in the following fall months. A

School Population
Up Over $4,000

r. M. Eyman, state director of
education, said that public, paro-
chial and private schools will have
an enrolment this year of 1885,
600 pupils. He added that that fig
ure represents an increase of ap-
proximately $1,000 over the 1854
55 school year.
Public school kindergarten en-
roilment shows some increase"
said Mr.. Eyman I'm 1954-1955,
99,768 were enrolled but about
100000 are expected during the
1856 school year."
Looking back five years the en-
rollment in all public schools in
creased by 316,637 and parochial
and private schools increased 49,
705 during this period. Elementary
enrolment in all types of schools,
including kindergarten and un-
graded schools, increased 250,O00
in five years while high school en-
rollment increased 1000 in a cor
responding period.
Teachers in 1855 numbered 54,-
070 showing an increase of 1881
over the previous year. Total num-
ber of classroom teachers this fall
should be about $4,000. Mr.. Eyman
noted that there is still a shortage
of elementary teachers in rural
sections.
The state director of education
commented on the fact that col
leges expect a slight increase in
enrolment this year. The enroll
ment in all Ohio colleges in 1856
56 will approximate 115,0o0 stu
dents.

Insurance Firms
File To Write
Multiple Line

Competition among insurance
companies gets beneficial stimu-
lation next month when the multi
pie line insurance law becomes eff
. fective.
Supt. August Pryatel of the Ohio
Department of Insurance announc-
ed that at least 143 domestic and
foreign insurance companies have
taken steps to write multiple line
and should be ready when the law
becomes effective Sept. 5.
The multiple line law, enacted
by the 101st eneral Assembly, per-
mits one company to write both
fire and casualty coverages. Ohio
was the last state in the union to
grant such multiple powers. Pre-
viously, a fire insurance company
could only write fire coverage and
a casualty company casulty cov-
erages only.
The multiple line law will
greatly enhance the capacity of
service to policyholders of compan-
les doing business in Ohio" said
L. H. Grinstead, president of the
Insurance Federation of Ohio who
also heads up the Beacon Mutual
Indemnity Co. of Columbus.
1T means, Tor example, that a
company which previously wrote
only fire insurance can now COM
pete in the auto and other casualty
fields" said Mr.. Grinstead, "and
this can only mean increased COM
petition which should prove bene-
ficial to policyholders."
It also means that Ohio compan-
les will be able to start writing the
so-called no m wners policies
which-have been available the past
few years in other nearby states.
These homeowner policies combine
fire, extended coverage, theft and
liability in single and more at
tractive policy for property own
erS.

Hog Prices Seen
Stationary Now

CHICAGO-Average u. S. hog
prices for the Augast-January per-
iod will be about $3.50 asserts
National Live Stock Producer, the
nations leading live stock publica-
ton. The lowest month will be No
vember or December when the av-
erage price is likely to be around
$14 to SIC.
These estimates are based upon
four major factors-number of pigs
farrowed, disposab1e consumer in
come, pork in cold storage, and av-
erage July hog prices.
These factors prove responsible
for 92%o of the variation in the av-
erage fall price of hogs.
Variations in the number of pigs
saved from the spring-pig crop is
the best single indicator of chang

child's Exemption
Valid Even If He
Earns Over $500

Do you have son or daughter
working during the summer vaca-
ton, who is likely to earn more
than $500 before school starts
again?
If so, he or she doesn't have to
quit work before earning that
amount for you to retain your
child's exemption deduction. The
same holds true if you have nom
student working child who will still
be under 19 by the end of the tax
year.
In either case, regardless of how
much the child earns, the parent
may claim an exemption, providing
he has furnished over half the total
cost of his child's support for the
year. This rule also applies in the
case of legally adopted children.
There is one important thing to
keep in mind: A dependent child
is also entitled to an exemption de-
duction for himself on his own sep
arate return. On the other hand, if
he is married, and files a joint re-
turn with his wife, no dependency
exemption may be claimed by the
parent.
Nathaniel LOCKER, District Direc-
tor of Internal Revenue, today
clarified revenue laws which have
confused many parents in this dis
trict.
I'VE have reports of beth par
ents and employers telling working
children they'll have to quit their
jobs before they earn $500. They
can work right up to the reopening
of school if they want to-" Director
LOCKER said. THE children, how
ever, may have to pay small tax.
Since many of them are studying
our own courses in basic taxation
they already know this. BY the
same token, many of them who
work only short terms of employ
ment or for a smaller salary will
probably he entitled to refunds
during the next filing season."
This information should prove
helpful to three parties to summer
employment, the student or child
worker, the parents, and the en-
ployer, Mr.. LOCKER said. He warn
ed that to gain advantage of this
rule, children over 19 must be bona
fide students at recognized educa-
tional institutions, or pursuing
full time farm training course. Any
questions regarding individual cas-
es may be referred to the District
or local office.

Sailors Help In
Genoa Polio Case

ATLANTIC FLEET (FEHTNC)
A little Genoese polio victim
who won the hearts of sailors a.
board the heavy cruiser USS New
port News nearly two years ago,
scored repeat performance this
August and won another round
against the Gripping disease.
The story of Adriana Bellucci,
Little Sister of the Newport
News" was first brought to the
attention of the crew members
while the ship was serving in the
Mediterranean in 1854 as flagship
of the Sixth Fleet.
Learning of the little girls he
roic struggles to walk again, and
her fathers unselfish offer to sell
one of his eyes to aid her, sail
ors from the Newport News do
mated over $500 to help meet the
medical expenses. However, the
prolonged treatments exhausted
the fund.
In July, the "Newsmen" learn
ed their Little Sister" was los
ing her battle because of the lack
of financial assistance. Word of
Adriana's plight spread through
out the ship, and within one week,
a shipboard campaign netted ST.
900.
Adriana tnow walking with
braces1 may not yet know of her
good fortune, but in a few days
she will know that her Big
Brothers" from the Newport News
still remember her as the Little
Sister with the Fighting Heart"

London Has Visit
From Soil Man OF
Southern Rhodesia

Mr.. Harold Hack, who is the
Group Conservation and Extension
officer of Southern Rhodesia in
South Africa, is visiting soil con-
servation and extension offices as
we'll as state universities and ex-
pertinent stations in the United
States. He spent a week here with
Paul Bangham, work unit conser-
vationist for the Madison District
Southern Rhodesia is a livestock
and grain cropping area where
corn, sorghurns, tobacco, peanuts
and cotton are the general pro-
ducts. The livestock is dairy and
beef cattle, hogs and some sheep.
In comparison with Madison
County, the land is very sparsely
populated, with farms of 1000 to
1900 acres most common. Much of
the land is rough waste land, how
ever.
Mr.. Hack is studying land use
and farm planning techniques in
the U.SA. to apply at home for
more intensive use of the farm
lands. Their conservation program
is based on practices that have
been established by the American
conservationists. Their problems
are very similar to many parts of
the States. The average rainfall is
25 to 80 inches, but this comes in
a very short period between No
vember and March, with high in
tensity, 2 to 3 inches in an hour
and frequently 8 inches in a II
hour period.
Mr.. Hack will also visit North
and South Carolina, Georgia, In
diana and Texas and the Beltsville
Experiment Station in Maryland.
He is hoping to gain valuable per-
sonal knowledge by close observa-
tion with officials of the u. s. De-
partment of Agriculture and by
private visits to American farms.

EVIL is a negation because
it is the absence Of truth. 1t

unreal because it presup-
