COLLECTION OF
GARBAGE LAW
Garbage Collection Problem
Solved At Council Meet
ing Friday Night
NEW LIGHTS TURNED ON

The problem of the collection
of garbage by the town of Smyr-
ma, which has long needed solu-
tion, was solved by action of Town
Council at the regular session on
Friday night, with Mayor John ].
Hurd presiding. Effective March
1 there will be no more liquid
(wet) garbage pickups on Monday
and Friday. All garbage must be
wrapped in paper and tied, with
all liquid removed. 1t is to be
kept in a closed metal container
until picked up. The pickup will
be made on the day of the regu-
lar trash collection. All citizens
are responsible for the condition
of the container and it is recon-
mended that it be washed with
a hose after removal of garbage.
The cooperation of all citizens is
requested, as council feels that
this change is a major sanitary
improvement, and a saving to tax
Traffic Changes
Important traffic changes are
announced, making for safer driv-
ing conditions. Delaware Street
has been made one-way north
from Frazier Street to Mt. Vernon
Street, with parking allowed on
both sides of the street. Union

with parking on both sides except
between Commerce and South
Streets, where parking will be al
lowed only on the east side.
New Lights Turned On
The new mercury vapor lights
were used on Commerce Street
for the first time Friday night, a
project sought by the Jaycees.
The new lights provide a safer
thoroughfare from the fire house
to the DUPONT Parkway intersec-
tion. A new Pak-Mor refuse and
garbage truck was purchased and
the town will open bids for a
chassis for the new truck at the
next regular session of council on
Friday, March IL at 8 pm. Mr..
Price will represent the council at
the career conference to be held
at Smyrna High School on March
"a. Martin Golden, president, was
the Jaycee representative at the
council meeting. He compliment
ed council on the outstanding
achievement they have made dur
ing the past year. A change was
made in the town ordinance on
keeping swine within the corpor-
ate limits of the town. 1t will be
unlawful to keep, raise or main
tain any swine within the corpo-
rate limits, or to maintain or per-
nit the maintenance of any hog
pen, pig-sty, or other structure

In other words the employer
committee is really saying :. Urge
people to vote but for crying out
loud be sure they are on our side
and against the other side If they
are against us, don't urge them to
exercise their right of voting on
election day!
In sharp contrast to the employ
ers' rather shocking statement, the
Committee to Protect Standards of
Living issued statement that
URGES ALL OHIOANS OF VOT-
ING AGE to make certain that they
register to vote.
Right in line with the statement
made by the employer (OIC) group,
the Lucas County Republican Com
mittee wrote letter to leading
business and professional men in
the area. The letter began by ask
ing these business men to urge
their employees to register and
vote.
But then the letter added, ''Na-
turally, the Republican Party is di-
recting its efforts where the re-
sponse will be MOST FAVORABLE.
We suggest THAT WHERE BUSI-
NESS FIRMS HAVE FACTORY
EMPLOYEES, THAT THES E
FIRMS CONFINE THEIR EFFORT
TO THEIR SALARIED EN-
PLOYEES."
Congressman Thomas Ludlow
Ashley declared, "This letter irri-
tates me. Our Country needs all
its voters out to vote, NOT JUST
THE RIGHT" FEW. We would
have no fear of bad government if
we could get EVERY VOTER
OUT"

Henry Morgan says that while

STEVE J. NovAK. PRES.
LOCAL. 497, UAvv-clo

The CIO Unemployment Conipen-
sation Bill WILL NOT HIKE
TAXES. This is one point that
should be remembered about the
CIO proposal for a more humane
unemployment compensation law.
The bill cannot possibly mean
more taxes, for the very simple
reason that unemployment bene-
fits are NOT paid from fund
that is made up of taxpayers
money!
Employers in their statement are
trying to confuse the voters on
this point. The employers claim
that more adequate unemployment
compensation will mean higher
taxes for you.
The state unemployment fund,
which now contains more than
$500, ,000, 900 is made up from pay
ments from employers. Employers
- not taxpayers pay into the
fund certain rate. And remem-
ber this - the Ohio rate is one
half the national average. So tae
Ohio employer enjoys one of the
lowest rates in the country And
it Is this payment by the employer
that finances the state fund.
In their statement on the unem-
ployment bill, the employer group
stated that Governor Lausche calls
the unemployment compensation
proposal fantastic" Yet the argu-
ment in favor of the bill points
out that this bill would meet the
recommendation of PRESIDENT
EISENHOWER.
In his economic message to Con
gress, President Eisenhower said,
ut is highly desirable that the
States change their laws so that
the great majority of covered
workers will be eligible for pay
ments that at least equal half their
regular earnings"
Leaders of the Fraternal Order
of Eagles In Ohio announced their
full support of higher unemploy-
ment compensation benefits. Two
of the Eagles state officials said
they were joining the Committee
to Protect Standard of Living,
committee made up of prominent
citizens formed to urge Ohio
votexs to approve the CLOS pro-
p1sal for a more liberal unemploy-
ment compensation law.

Following the meeting, directors
voted % cent dividend, payable
on the new stock October /, to
stockholders of record October 81.
This represents doubling of
the dividend rate. Previously the
firm paid 25 cents on the old stock.
A Company official indicated "WE
HOPE to continue the dividend at
the increased rate.
Record date for the two-for-one
stock split is September 26. The
Company plans to mail the new
stock to shareholders October 10.
j. S. Reid, president, said in
creased earnings due to the rapid
growth of sales of various new
products, particularly those for the
building industry, plus general
company expansion made the high
er dividend possible. He forecast
continued high level of sales dur

When I asked Conrad how

He had the same trouble
three years ago when audition-

that he couldn't play a hero.

must nave played the part all

Unfortunately, this debate

for TV is just one phase Of a
larger problem facing Norman
Macdonnell who has produced
and directed the show and will
be the associate producer for
the T'V series.
Besides showing a predilec-

ton for a sweetened-up hero,
the CBS-TV executives are
fearful that an adult western
will drive off the kid audience
and hurt the chances of selling
it to a sponsor.
This kind of thinking, Of
course, would reduce Gun
smoke" to just a title, for any
resemblance between the radio
and TV version then would be
strictly accidental.

1t would be a shame if this
happened, because there is a
market in TV for a so-called

There's a chance. but a very
slim one, that TV audiences
may soon get a western series
which has some resemblance
to reality.
Instead of a hokey hero with
an 18-carat boob for a side
kick, we would see a fellow
whose morals are about on
par with the rest of humanity.
He wouldn't be dressed in
buckskin with long fringe. nor
would he be able to coax 20
rounds of ammunition out of
a six-shooter without reload
ing.
The horse opera to which I
refer is called "Gunsmoke,"
and it has been on CHS radio
for nearly three years. Net
work wheels have decided to
do a TV version now, but
whether 1t will have any sim
ilarity to the radio original is
presently a moot question.
