Be put On Paying
Basis By Auditor
New System Ordered
To Control Purchases
BY the County Offices

A new policy is being institut-
ed at the Noble county court
house this week by Auditor c.
X. Atkinson in his one-man
campaign to cut down expenses
on a county level and have all
county offices operate on a sound
budget.
Auditor Atkinson is setting up
a requiSition system for every
county office and in the future
no bills will be paid for any
official where the money has not
been certified for such expendi-
lures.
Auditor Atkinson took this
action when he found that the
general fund and the road and
bridge fund of the county are
already overdrawn several thou
sands of dollars.
The official said, acting on
advice from examiners of the
state department of taxation,
that the only way to get the
overdrawn funds back into bal
ance is to set up a requisition
system to control the purchases
of the officials of different of
fices of the county whose pur-
chases are paid for by the county
auditor. In this manner, he can
keep purchases within the ap-
preparations and money avail
able.

State Patrol Cracks
Down on Motor Bikes
Owners Must Get A
Permit PotroI Soys

All high school students who
have been driving, their motor
cycles, motor scooters, motor
bikes or similar vehicles around
Caldwell the past few weeks
must make application for a
restricted drivers permit.
This announcement was made
today by the State Highway
patrol, who contacted Sheriff
Donald Conaway and other local
officials in their efforts to see
that this law is enforced.
Application for a restricted
license must be made directly
to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles,
Department 2, Columbus, Ohio.
1t will then be necessary for
the applicant to report at the
patriotic room in the courthouse
and take an examination for the
permit.
The patrol said today that
owners of the scooter bikes must
obey all traffic laws and that
many complaints have been re-
ceived that the students are
driving them on the side walks,
going through red lights, failing
to observe stop signs and in gen.
eral not obeying any of the
rules and regulations.
In other words, if you have a
scooter bike but not a temporary
permit or license, then the smart
thing to do is not to operate it,
until you have complied with the
law, the state patrol said today.

Postal Carrier,
Zoning, Are Tops

Big problems in the new housing
area this past week seemed to be
the mail situation and the possibil-
ity of a change in the proposed
zoning regulations.
Several families contacted only
managed to get to their mail boxes
or general delivery once week.
Where the breadwinner goes to
work at approximately 600 am,
and doesn't return home until 6
pm, the same day, he finds the
Post Office closed. Result is, some
families cannot get their mail
more often than once a week.
Other families expressed corr
cern over rumors about the con-
struction of a prefabricating indus
try near their homes. Most felt
that the noise and general NUS
ance value of the industry would
offset the reason most came here
to live, that is, peace and quiet.
The zoning ordinance is due for
public hearing soon. Copies Of the
ordinance are available in the Of
flee of the city clerk, located in the
city building.
Mrs. Lucille Boyd and Mr.. Fran
els Baker are members of the COM
mittee for the appointment of a
mail route, and Mr.. Joe Lewis is
one of the active members of the
Zoning commission.

Kitchen Sink May
Rob Your Family

Feed your family better than
your kitchen sink" Mary Morgan,
Ohio State University extension
nutritionist, tells Ohio homemade
ers. Overlooking vegetables in too
much water takes vitamins and
minerals from the family since ex-
cess cooking water is usually pour
ed down the kitchen drain.
Cooking vegetables short time
in just enough water to keep them
from sticking or burning preserves
their fresh flavor, color and food
value. Miss Morgan advises home
makers to use about Il inch of
water in a heavy sauce pan or an
inch in thin pan. Cook them the
shortest time needed to make them
tender, yet firm, she suggests.
Cooking time for vegetables var
les with varieties, maturity, stor-
age temperature, and size of pieces
into which they are cut for cook
ing. That prevents exact timing,
but the specialist gives some guides
for different vegetables.
Fresh broccoli, brussels sprouts,
cauliflower, egg plant, peas, as
paragus, cut carrots, and cabbage
wedges cook in 10 to Is minutes.
Whole carrots require 20 to 80
minutes, while cut cabbage will
cook in 5 to 10 minutes. Fresh,
green or wax beans should be
cooked IS to 25 minutes, says Miss
Morgan.
Frozen vegetables cook in II to
1/3 the time needed for fresh veg
etableS.

Lettuce Fits In
Well In Menus

Crisp, green, fresh lettuce is
one of the more attractive food
buys on the market now" says
Mrs. Helen Buck, Home Demon
stration Agent in Madison County.
Although lettuce is not one of
the foods that ranks high in nutri-
tive value, it is popular with most
homemakers because it fits we'll in
to any menu, and is the basis for
many delicious salads that add
sparkle and variety to ordinary
meals.
Mrs. Buck points out that food
shoppers can choose between head
lettuce and leaf lettuce, depending
on the use intended. Both are eco
nomical in price. If you plan to
use the lettuce alone in a salad,
choose head lettuce that is firm,
with a lot of green outside leaves.
Ii you intend to serve it in a tossed
salad or in combination with other
foods, look for head with loose
leaves, or choose leaf lettuce. The
greener the leaves, the more Wit
amin A they contain.
; The home agent adds a few
words of caution. Good lettuce is
tender and easily damaged. Don't
give your grocer reason to in
crease lettuce prices by bruising or
damaging the heads or punches in
his display. Handle lettuce care
tuily all the way from the grocer's
shelf to the table. Remove any
bruised or rutsy outer leaves be-
lore storing in refrigerator crisper
or closed container. Wise purchas-
lng' proper storage and care mean
good lettuce for your money.

one. While State gasoline taxes
average 4.83c per gallon, in
West average is 5.5c per gallon,
in south Csc per gallon, on top
of national gasoline tax.
And even though states need
more revenue, it is difficult to
further tax real estate.
That is because Federally
owned lands cannot be locally
taxed, and in West Federal gov
ernment holds on with stubborn
determination to $3.50 of all
land, $3.50 of all rural lands.
Thus, over half the land which
under private ownership would
help support local costs is held
by Federal government. Neither
can most states further tax in
dustry without running them.
+
Many basic Western industries
such as wool, metals and lum-
Der already fight for existence
against cheap foreign competi-
tion permitted by reciprocal
trade treaties, other tariff cut
ting lodges. For example, Phil
lipine mahogany plywOod, pre-
sumably a semi-luxury item, is
being shipped in by Japan and
sold in Western markets for less
than same product made from
native Western sOft-woods.
Il
Possibly, as situation worsens,
Western and Southern states can
get Federal aid and thus recap-
ture pittance of money that
should have gone to states in
first place.
But sovereign states are re-
luctant to go hat in hand to
Washington. It smacks too much
of pawn shop financing. In 1852
West went solidly for change
from twenty year tr9nd and solid
South broke over the same
reason. Yet no appreciabIe
change has been noted. And
that's why Congress finds West
erners standing up with South
erners for long, loud rendition
of the rebel yell.

Baby's Burps Are
Normal Procedure
Bv Dorothy v. WhippIe, MD.

But doctor, his whole little body
is contorted with the most awful
hiccoughS - what is the matter
with him? What can / do?"
1t was midnight and Mrs. Whit
more's voice on the telephone was
very distressed.
All babies hiccough. Great big
hiccoughs you can hear across the
room. But take a look at him, he's
not unhappy, he's not crying, he's
just being a baby.
If you'll observe, the hiccoughs
always come right after a burp.
AS the baby eats, he sucks in
some air as well as milk. Then
you put him up over your shoulder
and after time be belches up the
air. This is big noise too. Sounds
big enough for a full grown man.
Many times a mouthful of milk
comes up with the burp. This isn't
vomiting and it doesen't mean
there's anything the matter. The
air the baby swallowed was un-
derneath some milk in his stom-
ach, and, as the air bubbled up, it
forced a little milk with it.
Sometimes a little of this milk
gets stuck in the baby's gullet.
His reflexes are not as we'll de-
veloped as a grown ups, and he
doesn't know how to get rid of the
air without letting up a little food
too. Some comes out the mouth
and some stays in his gullet. It's
uncomfortable there. The baby's
body has a way of getting rid of
this and clearing out mis- pas
sages. He hiccoughs. He doesn't
mind, in fact as you watch baby
hiccoughing, you get the impress
sion he rather enjoys it. Leave
him alone, and as soon AS his pas
sages are clear he'll stop. = ~

No Drop In 1855
Living Expense

Living costs in 1855 will be about
the same as they are now, Mar
garet Mcdonald, Ohio State Uni
versity extension economist pre-
dicted today.
Rents and housing costs, at an
all time high, will be little higher
in 1855 while food prices will be
lower. Transportation costs will
continue downward, while clothing
costs will be slightly higher. Other
items will remain about the same
or their ups and downs will bal
ance, the economist stated.
Housing and food costs each
make up about 80 percent of the
total living cost, while transporta-
ton and clothing costs are each
about 10 percent of living costs.
The other 20 percent include such
personal items as medical care, in
surance, r recre t j n, cosmetics,
haircuts, dry cleaning, etc.
Inventory stocks of such dura-
bles as cars and household appli-
hances are lower than a year ago.
That combined with improved
quality of products will tend to
prevent lower prices, the specialist
said.
Food prices have dropped per-
cent from their peak in 1852. They
dropped 2 percent in 1854. Trans
ortation costs declined about 31a
percent during the past year, while
clothing prices dropped about l
percent.
Even though consumers spent
more for goods and services in 1854
than in any previous year, they
saved about 71a percent of their
income after taxes.
Miss Mcdonald said employment
and wages will likely continue
about the same in 1855. That and
family savings will keep buying
power strong.
Some of the 100000 new work
ers joining the labor force in 1855
may have trouble finding jobs, she
added.

However, if you feel you simply
MUST do something, give your
baby a drink-water or milk-it
doesn't matter. Swallowing any,
thing will force the little bit of
material in the gullet that is both
ering the baby back down into the
stomach. You really don't need to
do this, but if it will make you
any happier, by all means, do.
And talking of the noises new
babies make, we might mention
some other loud healthy sounds
that sometimes alarm new parents.
A baby seldom sleeps quietly. He
grunts and he growls and he
snorts and he moves about. These
are just baby ways. 1t doesn't
mean your baby's sleep is dis
turbed. He is not having indiges-
ton. There is nothing the matter
with him. He is just a baby.
Leave him alone.
A baby is apt to cough cd
sneeZe some too. Remember he
can't blow his nose! If he gets a
bit of mucous in his nose, he gets
rid of it with a good sneeze. A
few sneezes don't mean the be-
ginning of a cold.
Since baby lies flat all the
time there is little opportunity for
mucous in the nose to drain out
as it does in a grown up. It takes
a little push to get it out. So our
old friend Mother Nature has en-
dowed baby with the ability to
cough and Sneeze.
Understand your baby's sound
effects and don't worry about
them

Dairymen Review
New Developments

Pasture irrigation, pipeline milk
ers, bulk cooling tanks, self-feed-
ing, rationed grazing and COW cul-
ling increased on Ohio dairy
farms in 1854, Ohio State Uniyer-
slty extension dairy specialist re-
ported today.
Ohio dairymen had about 10
percent more cows on production
testing in 1854 than in 1853.
These men, with production rec
ords to guide them, culled 40 per-
cent more low producers from
their herds than they did a year
ago.
Silage feeding has doubled on
Ohio dairy farms during the last
z years. Most of this increase was
grass-legume silage. Forty-eight
percent of all silage fed to Ohio
dairy cows last year was grass
legume silage. This was twice the
proportion of grass-legume silage
fed in any midwestern state. Only
3 New England states and 2
Western states exceeded it in the
entire country.
Hay feeding has changed to.
Seventy-four percent of the hay
dairymen fed in Ohio in 1854 was
baled as compared to Is percent
in 1916. They also used nearly
twice as much alfalfa hay in 1854
as during the 1948-52 period.
The trend to larger and fewer
dairy herds also continued in
1854.
