Goodwill Group
Celebrates at
Birthday Fete

Goodwill Industries, dedicated
to the employment Of the handi-
capped. celebrated its goth birth
day in Washington yesterday
with hymn singing, reminis-
cences and the cutting Of a
birthday cake at its establish
ment at 1920 New Hampshire
avenue NV.
The Rev. DR.. Albert P. Shir-
key, pastor Of the Mount ver-
OH Place Methodist Church
where the local movement
started, gave an inspirational
talk.
w. Harold Shape. executive di-
rector Of the establishment for
| 10 of its 20 years. and James c.
Dulin, president Of its board Of
trustees, told about its begin
nings.
The Rev. DR.. Charles Enders.
chaplain Of the establishment,
presided.
Mr.. Dulin, an attorney for
merly with the American Secur-
ity & Trust Co.. who was one Of
the original incorporators Of the
non-profit corporation chartered
20 years ago, asked two others
who had signed the paper to
tell Of the beginnings. They were
Mrs. Karl Fleming. first vice
president. and Mrs. Elizabeth
Murray, a trustee.
There were recollections Of
| how Solomon L. Thomas used
to drive about picking up ar
ticles for the handicapped work
ers to recondition in his Ford
car. At that time, the establish
ment had only a small store
front and loft at 807 Mount Yer
non place NV.
Louis c. Schenk. director Of
public relations. gave a more de-
tailed history Of the institution
to a visiting reporter. Goodwill
Industries started in Boston in
1902 by a recently ordained
minister, the Rev. Edgar j..
Helms. Denied a missionary as
signment to India because ne
had just married and the
church felt it could not afford
to send a wife into the field, he
started a settlement mission
among the poor and disabled.
Today there are 112 such estab-
lishments In American cities.
OF 100 employed last April,
eight were blind or had defec-
tive vision, 46 had speech de-
fects, AZ were lame or crippled
and "a had general disability.
Nearly all the income of the
establi bliShment-about $500 ,000--
is from sales of reconditioned
clothing, furniture and other
articles. Goodwill Industries op-
crates its own dry-cleaning
plant, and cleaning is one of the
skills taught.

The RubHc'S Business

Public business in Ohio counties and communities will legal
ly become the pubcs business September 80 when
goes into effect requiring that boards commissions
agencies and authorities of oil local political subdivisions be
open the public at all times This is amendment to the
law passed two years requiring that boards and commits
of state agencies and authorities be open to the public
Governor Frank j. Lausce signed the which
ceved heavy support from both houses of the Ohio General
Assembly July be effective 80 days later September
80.
The law requires that al meetings of board
mission agency authority of any county, township mun
cpal corporation school district other political subdivision
declared to be public meetings open to the public at all
times 1t further provides that mo resolution rule regua
on formal action of kind shall be adopted at any
ecuve session and that minutes of regular special
shall be promptly recorded and open to public inspection
This simply spells out and darifies what has been
principal of American government all the time and
nconcevabe that public officials would want to conceal their
actions at any time yet it does happen Usually it happens
when the public official takes the attitude that the tme
not ripe for the public to know or that he public will not
fully understand if it learns just what happening
Officials should not only welcome public attendance at their
meetings; they should encourage it. Young people, in
cula should occasionally attend council meeting school
board meeting become better acquainted with how the pub
lie business is conducted Many would be surprised to learn
how much time is involved and how difficult sometimes be-
to reach important decisions Certainly there would be
better appreciation of the public officials load.

it is difficult to know where to begin.
For one thing, it IS the farm where
they built house over the top of
another house. 1t is also the old David
Whistler farm, and has only had three
owners since the time it was home
steaded. There is another story con-
nected with the farm buildings now
on the place.
Well start with 1941 when Mr..
Neill acquired the farm from Eliza A.
Shelter, daughter OF Whistler, the
original settler. AT the time Neill
bought the place It was bare land.
There were no bull lhings. The SO-acres
had been farmed by renters.
First of all, Neill moved house
from the Ed Miller farm, 31a miles
west. The family lived in that house
until 1949 when Wilbur decided to
erect a new home. He wanted it on
exactly the same site, but he didn't
want to move while the house was be-
ing built.
Using plans devised by Neill, AL
bert o. Badertseher and associates,
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1955-07-14

proceeded to bull the new house over
the old one. Floor and ceiling joists
of old and neF were tied together.
After the roofywas completed on the
new house, ths old one was torn down
section by SECTION with the family
moving front one part to another.
The barn and implement shed came
from Pandora. Mr.. Neill purchased
a property there from Dave Wehrly
with the buildings on it. He moved the
buildings, then sold the lot.
Mrs. Neill isA the former Mary
Elizabeth Kempf, Married June 21,
1886, the Neills farmed for a time on
the L. F. Charles farm near Pandora.
Their present place was acquired in
1941.
The family now includes Joe Will
liam, 13; Virgitia Bea, 8; John Rollin,
Z; and Kathleen Marie, 6. They are
all membersF of the Pleasant View
Evangelical United Brethren church.

sprinkle the petunias.
Saws Mr. Kiplingers magazine: Saving is mainly
matter of thinking about the subject whenever you turn on
faucet.
Showers usually require 25 gallons of water-baths 36.
Reduce these figures by turning off the shower while soag
and turning again to rinse and Is gallons Substitute
a partly filled tub for full one and 16 gallons.
'TWashng dishes under running water up to 30
gallons per meal You save by using dshpan or sink

Changing Tines points out that letting the water
all the time you brushing your teeth is wasefu Further
more you the basin instead of the shower for
shampoo.
Up to 25 gallons of water can be saved by turning off the
hot-water faucet when shaving.
If your amlys per capita Consumption is 25 to IS gallons
per day. that's pretty good Fifty about average Anything
above that is too high for Household use.
Of course any excl can tell how he shaved brushed
his teeth and had enouge for drinking water all day

of income and larger net return in some
states
Ohio's trucking transportation is as i'm
portant to our economy as railroads and, in
the smaller towns and villages, almost vital
to the welfare of the communities who re-
ceve food, raw materials and finished goods
only by truck. The cost of getting vital COM
modities to such areas would be immeasure-
ably increased by making Ohio verboten to
trucks which serve all the other states. In
his orientation toward the railroads. Lausche
refuses to recognize that trucks are a basic
fact of our generation and that his problem
as Chief Executive is not to paralyze the in
dustry but rather to fit it into the economy.
In other words, Lausches duty is not to
start an epidemic among the several states
but rather to cure the ills afflicting Ohio.
His duty is not to penalize the truckers but
to tax them a fair share of highway costs.
His attitude must change to accept the truth
of the axle-mile tax which is it's failure as
a source of revenue.
The danger in the present course of events
is that the individual citizen may be forced
to pay more for food, industries hampered in
their competitive positions by high transpor-
tation costs and the taxpayers levied an even
greater share of the costs of roads.
While the dispute is still only comedy
of errors it should be stopped before it turns
into tragedy If there is serious disloca-
tion of transportation among the states
eventually the Federal Government, through
the Interstate Commerce Commission, will
step in.
Take calm look at the tax itself. Is it
worth all that?

AxIe-MiIe Tax
A Teapot Tempest

One overlooked aspect of the current fu-
rore over the axe-mile tax which has isolat-
ed Ohio is this the tax itself is dismal dis
appointment and is not economically feasible.
The total amount realized by the tax last
year was $13,000,000 (contrasted with glow
ing pre-tax predictions of an annual $23 ,OOO,-
900 take) It's cost of administration was so
high that the net return to the state will be
ridiculous. 1t is a figure closely guarded by
Lausche's office but which inevitably must
be revealed.
The amount at stake is not worth the pre-
sent antics Of Ohio's state government, par
ticularly it's executive branch. Ohio has been
placed in the position of the private who tells
his sergeant "I'm the only one in STEP" If
there were some justification, some principle
at stake, the risk of dslocating transporta-
tion and commerce with other states might
and should be taken. But in the axle-mile
tax there is not even the justification of
fighting for a source of income needed by
the state. There just isn't enough money in
it.
Instead of seeding from the economic
union of states, Ohio would best seek source
of income and an equitable tax realizing it.
Despite Lausches efforts to place blame for
the fiasco of the axle-mile tax on the truck
ers, the dollars and cents logic of the tax
itself cannot be denied. Of course, the truck
ers should pay for commercial use of public
roads. There is no question of that. The
question is one of method and the axle-mile
tax has proved the wrong method Other
alternatives have been suggested over the
years but they have not been studied by
Ohio's government. For instance, ton mile
tax at the source has proved productive both
