AGRICULTURE
Soil conservation technical aiC
to farmers should be turned ovel
to State administration wherever
1.-THE State submits a satisfactory
plan and provides funds to ex-
pand the program.
Federal soil conservation pay
ments should be turned over to
the States to administer, and the
States-"as soon as practicable
should assume part of the
cost.
! Eight members dissented from
all or part of these proposals.
CIVIL AVIATION
Congress and the President
should consider greater aid for
airport construction. Said the
report: "a considerable body of
informed opinion holds that
congressional appropriations
have been far below the level re-
quired to establish and maintain
an adequate national system of
airports."
HOUSING
States should assume greater
responsibility for meeting hous-
ing needs and undermining build
ing codes. Federal aids for slum
clearance, urban renewal and
public housing should be con-
tinued.
RESOURCES
| The States should be given
"a larger measure of initiative
and responsibility in multi-pur-
pose, basin-wide development of
water resources" with costs di-
fvided among the States con-
Icerned and the Federal Gov
eminent.
EMPLOYMENT SECURITY
Congress should extend un-
employment compensation COW
erage to ''all employers of one
or more persons" with the
President recommending mini
mum benefit levels for inclusion
in State laws.
PUBLIC HEALTH
Grants for special health pro-
grams should be tapered off as
objectives are achieved. Loans
and grants-in-aid should be
continued for construction of
hospitals and other facilities.
VOCATIONAL
REHABILITATION
Services in this field should
be expanded. The Federal Gov
|ernment should try to stimulate
greatly increased State activity
in this field"
WELFARE
AS total Federal and State
Ioutlays for old-age relief pay
Iments diminish (because of the
increasing number of social Sc
'curity beneficiaries), the Fed
Ieral contribution to the States
should be decreased by approx
Iimately the same amount"

report says Ohio should raise its
level of support 10 around 40@o,
but at no time should exceed the
national average $3.50"
The report states that Ohio
ranks 9Th in income payments per
capita, but 35th in current expen-
ditures per pupil and 43rd in per-
centage of income spent for
schools. This is pretty miserable
record.
Locally, both in the city and in
the county systems, the schools
are holding their own at the pres
ent time. but any sudden influx of
students would tip the scales in
the opposite direction. even with
the present proposed Madison
South under construction, accord
ing to school officials.
London schools, with their in
creased salary schedules, have not
had acute teacher problems, but
the county system experienced a
little difficulty this year, and can
expect more as time goes on. The
report says 8 percent of the teach
ing force in Ohio drops out year
ly, with hundreds of those who
quit recently giving low salary
as the main reason for leaving.

conference will provide some an
swers, but these answers must be
supplemented by parents before
they mean anything to our school

School Report Shows Weaknesses
Apparent In Ohio Educational Picture

With the Ohio State Conference

Der "a, and President Eisenhow-

Education scheduled for Novem-
Der % December l, more and
more emphasis is being placed on
education and education'S prob
lens in the nation.
Locally, we have had our con-
ferenceS on education and have
selected Mrs. Leon King, Mr..
Donald Elliott and Mrs. Wallace
V. Nichols to represent the county
in Columbus. Most folks agree
that a continuing public interest in
schools would be the greatest fac
tor in solving the problems.
What about Ohio's schools ? The
Ohio School Survey Committee ex-
poets enrolment in 1856 to soar
to 1901, $50 from 1885 1,417, $50;
we average about 5000 teachers
per year short of our goal; Ohio
must build s classroonls daily un-
til 1860 to house increased enroll
ments; our school systems will
need S673 million for school
building construction, rehabilita-
ton and replacement; school dis
tricts are unable, under legal debt
limitation, to raise S153 million of
the amount needed.
Ohio can afford good schools.
State funds, at present, provide
26 percent of the school costs. The

London Wins 4th
Game, Leads Mid 6

London's Red Raiders came
through in the final quarter Fri
day to take the game with West
erVille out of the fire, 20 to l3.
London now has record of four
straight wins.
General opinion was that the
Raiders were hard-pressed for the
victory, but a slick, muddy field
may have played as large a role
as overconfidence. In addition,
Harbin, the biggest man" was
home with a cold.
Carter started the scoring in the
first quarter, going over from the
four. Westerville scored in the sec
ond quarter, with Myer tossing l3
yards to Mann. Tingley put the
Raiders back on top by crashing
through from the four-yard line,
after a 55-yard advance. Tingley
made the conversion good, with
half-time score at 1877, London.
Westerville evened the score in
the third quarter as London
gambled and lost in fourth down
pitchout try by inches. Wester-
vile took over on the As and drove
the distance, with Fisher going
over for the score and Myers ex-
ira point making the third quarter
score 1913.
Westerville took the big gamble
in the fourth quarter, with an at
tempt to make inches on its own
81. They failed as London'S line
held last. London took over and
punched the ball over from the one
yard line, Carter carrying. Final
score: London 20, Westerville 13.
London and Grove City now
lead in Mid-Six competition, with
2 wins and no losses. Grove City
is next Fridays opponent,
Other Mid-Six standings are
Worthington, l win, l loss; Hill
ards, l and /; Marysville, 2 losses
and Westerville, 2 losses.
At Frankfort, West Jefferson
was scored on twice in the first
quarter and never recovered. In
the fourth quarter, Roughrider
Frank Mckinney completed an Is
yard pass to Ray Sheerin in the
end zone for their score. Game
ended, Frankfort 13, West Jeff g.

Of Payment Ends Mystery
Madison County's

George R. Taylor, Rodger Baker

step in laying Madison Countys

paid to the prosecuting attorneys
criminal investigation fund for the
exhumation and reburial of the
body discovered in the Big Darby
Baptist Church Cemetery north of
West Jefferson and exhumed on
July 25.
The exhumation started state
wide speculation as to whether or
not the body could be that of
young Columbus woman who dis
appeared several years ago, but
the corpse was identified by a
couple as their son. The facts sur
rounding the mistaken grave site
and the lack of markings on the
grave never came to light.

In other business, the commits

gineer's department, and the pur-
chase of additional tables for use
in the youth buildings at the Mad

Chief Urges Observance Of
Fire Prevention Week Here
Department Will
HeIp In Checking

London Fire Chief Speed An
drews, in urging London house
holders and businessmen to OBJ
serve Fire Prevention Week, Octo-
Der 8 to IS, pointed out Monday
that fires, 80 percent of which
could have been prevented, last
year claimed 1000 lives and des-
troyed $870,984,0 900 in property in
the United States.
For this reason, Chief Andrews
urges each citizen of this commu-
nifty to observe Fire Prevention
Week by thoroughly checking his
home or place Of business for fire
hazards and correcting any unsafe
conditions he may find there. Chief
Andrews offered the services of
the department where they could
be utilized in helping with the
checking, and the service director,
Mr.. Red Harrington, said that his
crews would help in carting away
excess rubbish.
Chief Andrews further said that
the wisest thing to do in case of
suspicion of fire was to call the
fire department. I'VE can make an
investigation in minutes that may
save hours of work and hundreds
of dollars. Big fires start from lit
tie fires, and if you have any
doubt, call us. Remember that the
jokes about chopping your house
down are only jokes. We know our
job and will do it."
Fire Prevention Week dates back
to 1911 when the Fire Marshars
Association of North America, to-
day a section of the National Fire
Protection Association, first select
ed the anniversary date of the
Great Chicago Fire, October 9, as
the best time TO annually remind
the nation of the need for greater
fire safety.
