IN MEMORY

In loving memory of Charles
who passed away Dec. 30.
1852.
He has left a world of sorrow,
He has left a bed of pain
Into a land of gladness
Where someday well meet
again
Heaven now protects him
Earth his lovely casket keeps
And the angels linger near
where he sleeps.
We Weep-our hearts are sad
For he was a wonderful father
Grandfather, friend-loyal and
true
And we know his spirits rest
ing
In the paradise of God.
Sadly missed by: son, Harold
L. Miller and family, wife, Jean
and grandchildren, Carol Ann
and Eddie.

Farm Census Now
Completed For
Noble and Stale

John w. Thomas today per-
forms his final act as field super
visor for the 1854 Census Of
Agriculture by closing down the
temporary office which was
established at Lancaster, Ohio,
for taking the census.
Farm census questionnaires
collected locally are being ship
ped to Census headquarters for
editing and tabulating. The re-
suits, when published, will pre-
sent figures for counties, states,
regions and the United States.
The first of the preliminary re-
ports covering each of the Ma
tion's 3,068 counties is expected
to be published early next year.
In a final statement, the super
visor expressed his appreciation
for the splendid cooperation" he
and his enumerators received
from farmers in the "a counties
in which he conducted the CEN
sus. This cooperation" he added
enabled us to complete this i'm
portant inventory Of our agri-
cultural resources quickly and
efficiently"

breeding and u. S. r. o. p. trap
nest records.
The new arrangement provides
that the associate hatchery re-
turn to the Honegger Breeder
Hatchery each year for both pull
let's and cockerels of the founda-
ton stock, and thus he has the
advantage of all the latest i'm
provements in the quality of the
stock.
A unique advantage in the
new plan is that since Honeggers
are releasing breeding stock only
to those hatcheries that are as
sociated with them under the
terms of the Associate Hatchery
agreement, Mr.. Boyer of the
Noble Hatchery has exclusive
rights to hatch and sell Honegger
Leghorns in the territory assign
ed to it.
Honegger's poultry breeder,
Mr.. A. P. Loomis, is recognized
as one of the foremost breeders
IN the country. He has long been
the spokesman for the breeders
of pure strains as opposed to the
cross-bred and inbredhybrid
lines. He was one of the first to
realize that the bird of tomorrow
is coming from the work that
poultry breeders are doing in
testing the combining ability of
the strains within the breeds.
The Honegger blended blood
line involves a combination of
pure Leghorn strains that have
'nicked" unusually well, as
evidenced by the fact that all
eight of the Honegger entries in
the 1852 official egg laying con-
tests finished in the high ten
of their respective tests. In the
1858 tests, seven of the eight
enries achieved this honor.

cherry plan was devised to sup
ply the ever-increasing demand
for this superior chick and to
give poultrymen the benefit of
better and more personal service.
Associate hatcheries get their
foundation stock annually from
Honeggers and hatch locally

Helpful Hints On
Your anconne OK

a program OF assistance to
taxpayers for the forthcoming
income tax filing period has just
been announced by Nathaniel
LOCKER, District Director of In
ternal Revenue with headquart-
ers in Columbus, Ohio. The prim-
any purposes of the program is
to inform taxpayers of the cor
rect method of preparing their
returns - in other words, the
program is aimed at rendering
assistance or advice where it is
actually needed to clarity and
explain points not understood,
rather than offering a gratuitous
Service to all taxpayers in the
preparation of their returns.
All publicity media possible
will be used TO tell taxpayers
what they need to know, by
newspaper, radio and television
or directly by local representa-
tives Of the Internal Revenue
Service. In as many as possible
of the larger cities within the
District, schools will be arranged
In cooperation with local Cham
bers of Commerce. The purpose
of these schools will be to train
representatives of business and
industry to prepare personal in
come tax returns so that they
may be able to assist their CO.
workers in this important task.
Such schools in the past have
proved very successful.
Director LOCKER recommends
that taxpayers in the higher in
come brackets as we'll as those
requiring assistance on schedules
of rental properties or business
and corporation returns avail
themselves Of the service of pro-
fessional accountants or tax con-
sultants since time and person
mel limitations viii not permit
local Internal Revenue Service
employees to assist in the pre-
paration of returns of this type.
Farmers will be expected to
present completed schedules to
Internal Revenue Service per
sonnel before requesting assist
ance in the preparation Of farm
returns. Other taxpayers should
complete the Forms 1040 which
they received in the mail, at
least through Line 6 before seek
ing aid. These forms should be
carefully saved until the taxpay-
er is ready to use them.
For the purpose of affording
advice and assistance, the Zanes-
vile office located in the End
floor, Post Office building will
remain open from 500 a. m. to
500 p. m. on the following days
in January. 7, 10, II, u, 13, IA,

an enterprise as anyone can inn
agine. The day when all that was
necessary was to put goods on dis
play and then wait for the eager
customers to come f1ocking in has
long since passed. Successful
stores are putting more stress on
better selling. better advertising,
better inducements and promotions
of every kind. Young people with
the right attitudes and a willing
ness to work and learn can earn
good incomes to start with. and
opportunities for future progress
are virtually unlimited.
Retailing has always been a bus
mess which has brought its lead
ers up from the ranks. AS an ex-
ample, the top men in the big
chain systems began. for the most
part, at or near the bottom-as
clerks. warehouse attendants, and
so on.
From the Winter Haven Herald,
Winter Haven, Florida: No think
ing parent would permit his child
to play with dynamite. sharp
butcherknife or a loaded pistol.
Just as obviously no parent with
the welfare of his child at heart
would give his offspring carte
blanche at a newsstand or mag
aZine rack.
If each parent could check a
child's reading as carefully as
they do his other activities the
entire problem would be well on
its way to solution.

enough to fill small book if
there were need of any more books
in the world. The past of seven
decades ago had come to life.
Home from Sea
But this was not all, not by any
means. l took the picture briefly
to George O'Neal. Mr.. O'Neal is
one of my favorite Kinnakeeters
and how l could wish they
would change the name of the vii
lage back from rather meaning
less Avon to it's original Kinnakeet
and certainly one of its most
remarkable citizens. Mr.. O'Neal
followed the sea from childhood
until a little while back when he
came ashore and opened a small
store. When he is not bothered
with customers or Mrs. O'Neal has
not been able to find something
for him to do around the house
a way that the wives of returned
mariners, long without a service
able handyman around the house
have-he has built perfect scale
models of every ship he was ever
on. They range from sail skiffs
and skip-jacks to four-masters,
more than a score of them that
take up space that Mrs. O'Neal
sometimes reminds him might be
more profitably devoted to salable
merchandise.
Without being very hopeful
about it, l wondered if sometime
Mr.. O'Neal might be persuaded to
make me model of the windmill,
if would get him an enlarged pic
ture to go by. He said, and l must
have missed the CLEAN that was in
his eye, that he might try it if
he could get the stuff to make it
out of. And with that l took off
to write John Lockhead a note
asking for the loan of the negative
so l could get an enlargement for
Mr.. O'Neal to go by.
When I got back two weeks
later with the enlarged picture
Mr.. O'Neal had completed the
model-from memory. 1t is "a
inches tall and in perfect scale
down to the minutest detail. The
wheel turns, the sails can be
reefed. 1t even creeks appropri-
lately when it turns and just
sit and look at it and wonder
which of the two versions of the
Bateman M&r story to adhere
to. Certainly, one or the other of
them got himself rotated and 1
almost wish that Mr.. O'Neal had
included the figure of man be-
ing rotated. He might have even
named him. l believe he adheres
to the version where it was the
elder Miller who was reefing the
sail.
Factor of Importance
But the point here is that the
windmill was a factor of tremen-
dous Importance in these villages
in the two centuries before the
invention of the internal combus-
ton engine which has replaced the
windmill, the sail boat and the OK
as motive power around here.
Little grain was raised on these
