THE FRIGHT TO WORK"

Suppose for the sake of argument that the 4o states
Congress should pass laws requiring that before could
work at his trade and before employer could hire him. he
would have to Join specified organization, pay initiation
fee and regular monthly dues and be prepared to submit to
special assessments
Do you suppose the who drafted The Declaration OF
independence and the United States Constitution with its Bill
Of Rights would have agreed TO such restrictions?
And YET have found it necessary TO pass Right
TO Work. laws protecting mans right to living without
Joining any organization 1t would that already had
the Constitutional right on not to Join without specific
legislation TO that effect but apparently that not true under

Farm Ponds Aid
Duck Production

COLUMBUS, OHIO - State
Waterfowl Biologist, Delmar
Handley, has recently filed re-
port with Charles Dambach, Chief
of the Division of Wildlife, show
ing the trends in the construction
of farm ponds in Ohio and their
Importance in waterfowl manage
ment. Handley's report shows that
artificially constructed d farm
ponds, which were quite a rarity
in Ohio 80 years ago have today
become a common sight through
out the state.
A major part of the farm
building program in Ohio was in
itiated during the early 1940's
when rather extensive soil and
water conservation programs were
undertaken by both state and
federal organizations. These prog
rams emphasized pond building
because in many areas ponds were
the only way to combat soil ero-
sion.
Another factor which recently
has accelerated this program was
a drouth condition which existed
over considerable portion of
Ohio during 1851, 1852 and 1853.
Still another factor in the crea-
ton of farm ponds has been the
recognition of these areas as re-
creational areas. When we cofisi-
der that approximately 100000
fishing and 65o,000 hunting hcen-
ses are bought annually by Ohio
sportsmen, we realize the terrific
demand for available hunting and
fishing sites. There are slightly
over 10000 farm ponds In Ohio
to date with an actual need for
24,000 more.

SIS Million Asked
For Ohio Library

A bill that would establish an IL
member commission to construct
a five million dollar State Library
and Archives Building in Colum-
bus is now pending before the
101st Ohio General Assembly.
The bill is sponsored in the
Senate by Senator Robert A. Pol
lock (R), Canton, of the 21st Dis
trict (Stark and Carroll counties), i,
and Senator Raymond E. Hide
brand (R), Toledo, of the 34th
District lucas county,. An iden-
tical measure was submitted in the
House, sponsored by Representa-
tives Don Campbell (R), Guys
vile, Athens county, and Repre-
sentative Jesse Yoder CD, Day
tan, Montgomery county.
Construction of the Library and
Archives Building, originally sug-
gested by the State Library Board
and the trustees of The Ohio His
torical Society, would be supervis-
ed by a commission with three
members appointed by the Gov
ernor, and two state representa-
tives, two state senators, two Lii
brary Board members and two
trustees of The Historical Society.
The bill proposes an appropria-
tion of five million dollars.
The Historical Society petition
ed the Governor and the General
Assembly to establish a public rec
ords administration for the state
and to provide housing facilities
in a resolution adopted last De-
cember ii. The Library Board act
ed the same day, pointing out
that present facilities of the
State Library are inadequate and
proposing a new building.

fproduced through chemistry q
form Of digitalis.
After his graduation from
McGill, DR.. Zorbach took up a
teaching position at Boiling
Green State University in Ohio.
between classes he looked into
his idea about digitalis. But
when summer came the profess
Sor had to take a construction
job to break even on the year
financially.
The research had to stop.
He came to Georgetown in the
fall of 1852 to teach chemistry
and continue his research when
he had the free time.
Assistant professors Of chemis-
try make about $4,500-but only
for 10 months. DR.. Zorbach
wanted to continue his research.
So, in 1858. on a hunch, the pro-
fessor went to the National In
stitutes of Health in Bethesda
with hopes of obtaining a grant
for his work-maybe doing it out
there. But he was told, though
they liked what he was working
on. it might take nine months to
obtain the grant. 1t was sug-
gested he drop around to the
Washington Heart Association.
There, Drs. Clayton B. Ethridge
and John Reisinger, both on the
directing board Of the associa-
ton. looked over the chemists
request and decided a $3.50 "fel-
lowship" would be a good invest
ment in the idea. It was quickly
awarded.
Enough to Work On.
What the stipend meant to DR..
Zorbach was the chance to con-
tinue his research. 1t wasn't
much. but enough-the differ
ence between working at his idea
or part time job.
Last summer loomed even
larger. DR.. Zorbach had been
presented with a baby daughter
in March. There were hospital
and doctor bills. Another grant
by the association of $500 was
made. The doctor hired a stu
dent to explore a few additional
avenues.
Il guess the big men in chem
istry would call what I'm doing
'peripheraP stuff" DR.. Zorbach
says. trying to explain his re-
search. The world of chemistry
is not exactly waiting breath
lessly for DR.. Zorbach to pro-
duce, he adds.
Seeks Chemical Version.
His ultimate goal is a watered-
down version of digitalis which
could be produced chemically on
large Scale--and at less cost
to the consumer. the heart
disease patient. Digitalis has a
calming effect on the muscles
of the heart and is used extern
sively.
So far, his research has pro-
duced several scientific papers
little discoveries he has made
not directly related to the big
goal but, still. resulting from his
digitalis research.
Great discoveries in science
and medicine often have the in
gradients of a modest man of
modest means who was helped
along the way with a modest
stipent. Even scientists have to
eat and pay bills.

His name is William Zorbach.
He lives in an apartment at

Unfortunately. DR.. Zorbach

When he walks out into the

his wife and child. In the past,
these things have disturbed the
pleasant, secluded atmosphere
of the tower. He has had to
leave. halting his research. to do
other work to meet financial
needs.
But for the past two summers.
DR.. Zorbach has been remaining
Mt the laboratory, progressing by
degrees on his idea. He is closer
to his goal. The people who paid
his way are contributors to the

DR.. Zorbach is an assistant

small grants from the heart as

Now he holds a degree of doc
