It appears that there must be something
in all the talk that goes about the entire
nation when discussing the urgency of water
problems, particularly from local COM
munity level.
Often, and too many times people living
in areas such as Noble county and Caldwell,
fail to realize the impact of water shortage
until the crisis hovers over our heads. Then,
it is too late, only to say 81 told you so'.
Shortage of water isn't exactly new
topic Of conversation for many of the older
residents of Caldwell. Those who can recall
the drought that levied it's "stink" in 1881
consider that one as the worst. Then, the
only source was the waters of Duck creek
which one can readily appreciate now would
be most unhealthy one It was, indeed!
True it is, that the village has sufficient
water supply to care for it's present needs.
But the question is, should we rest there and
feel that we have done a job for the future?
Perhaps that is what we have decided to do
because our supply appears ample. Here is
where we could be wrong!
We, here in Noble county and Caldwell,
can take a good lesson from the experience
encountered by the people of the Youngs-
town area. There they are faced with the
possibility of losing $50 million General
Motors plant simply because they lack the
water supply to adequately serve the needs
of plant of such proportion. 1t could happen
here!
Another problem facing the village of
Caldwell at the lake is the ever-increasing

"Slow Down and Live" is the slogan
which the Noble County Traffic and Safety
committee adopted at their meeting Friday
evening and it is one which will require a
lot of action not only on their part but the
county as a whole.
Sheriff Donald Conaway hit the nail on
the head when he reported to the committee
that their actions would be for naught unless
they could get the public safety-conscious
and that should always be the objective of
this committee.
Small safety slogans were received from
the state committee and they will be placed
in the payroll check envelopes in the various
industrial plants of this section as the COM
mittees initial start in making the public
more safety-conscious on the highway.
''Drive defensively" is another aim of
the committee and they will attempt in
various ways to make the driver on the high
way mindful of the other fellow.
Marshal Jack Oliver, through this COM
mittee, was instrumental in getting the busi-
ness zone marked off for parking places and
lines drawn for pedestrians. Since the pedes-
trian always has the right-of-way, local
officials are going to crack down on violators
with warnings and then fine, if the motor
ist persists in this violation.
Although it was not a major safety
movement, Floyd Henderson just recently
accomplished something for the committee
that could mean lot to the motorists. When
informed that large pine tree, with low
hanging branches, was obscuring the view of

REP. JOHN E. HENDERSON
Competition For Scientists

The United States is a strong
nation. 1t has tremendous mill
tary, air and naval strength. 1t
has international prestige. But
its position does not 60 unchal-
lenged. The tremendous lead
that we once held is being mar
roWed as the world has gone
from an agricultural to an indus
trial economy. Today, the posi-
ton of scientific and technical
personnel in Government as
sumes new Importance SO that
our nation may continue to lead
in the technical fields which are
so necessary in modern day
defense and standby readiness.
The Government, as well as pri-
vate industry, must have top
level scientists and engineers.
A career with the government is
good career and the employees
of the Federal Government, for
the most part, are enjoying the
same advantages as those who
are employed in private enter
prise. If this were not so, the
turnover in Government employ
ment would be much greater
than it is.
However, in this field of scien-
tific and technical personnel, the
Government finds that it is not
keeping pace with private in
dustry. In testimony before the
House Post Office and Civil
Service Committee, perosnnel
directors of some agencies have
indicated that they are facing
terrific competition in recruit
ing and retaining vitally needed
scientific personnel. Private en-
terprise is skimming off and lur-
ing away some of the nations top
technical personnel.
There is a tremendous amount
of loyalty toward the Govern
ment by some of these top men
and women. They have been, for
many years, serving the Govern
ment at salaries lower than they
could command in private enter
prise. 1t was pointed out to our
Committee that so long as this
differential is not too great, en-
ployees tend to stay with the
| Government. But when a top
flight scientist with his growing
family and the desire to own a
better home and have a better
car sees that he could move from
his job in Government to one in
private industry at two or three
times the salary, it requires more
than a reasonable amount OF
loyalty to keep him working for
the Government. For this reason
the Committee, at the conclusion
of the testimony, approved legis-
lation which would provide
better pay for these top scientific
professional and technical per
Sonnel.

Junior Baker and friends are
all set for their circus. Look for
their advertisements on neigh
borhood trees.
The kids have had problems in
staging the event. The biggest
was the admission fee. Junior
wanted to charge five cents, Mrs.
Baker thought it would be much
nicer if they charged five pins.
So Junior held a meeting with
his Directors-then told his
mother they'd taken her advice.

a GOOD CITIZEN

At Valley Forge in February
of this year, the George Wash
ington Honor Medal for 1855
was awarded to the Florida
Power & Light Company. This
is the top award given annual
ly by the Freedoms Founda-
ton to the company which has
created the outstanding local
advertising program to create
greater appreciation of our
cherished freedoms.
The Florida Power & Light
Co. is justiflably proud of this
honor that has come its way
and has published a brochure
which carries reproductions of
the 16-page advertisements
which won the award for it.
The company was asked why
it spends hard-earned dollars
to advertise freedom when the
money might more profitably
be employed to advertise goods
or services. To this the COM
pany replied that as business
grows it assumes a role far
more important than that of
merely supplying goods or
services. This role is that of
citizen of the community and
of the nation. Like all citizens,
a business has solemn respon-
sibilities made heavier by vir-
tue of it's size and influence.
That is why Florida Power
& Light Company last year ran
those Is advertisements and
why they will continue to run
similar advertisements during

N'oSiosciiiI DoSIilidSISI GENERAL On
Aug. 5, 1912. He was on a non
service status from April, 1920
to Oct. 2l, 1921. He served as a
temporary carrier from Oct. %,
1921 until Jan. Is, 1923 at which
time he became a regular car
rler out of the Macksburg office.
Mr.. Darrah said that his num-
Der of patrons has remained
about the same during all these
years. When he first started,
there were no gravel roads and
he travelled by horseback. He
had an official distance of 3G.66
miles to travel each day, half
OF which was in Noble county.
Mr.. Darrah said that one of
the most unusual angles to his
entire job was the fact that he
served under six regular appoint
ed postmasters and two tempor-
ary appointments and all of them
were women.
During the tenure of his rural
service, there has been one
couple on his route all this time,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Baesel.
He has also seen many events
transpire, including the marriage
of one his patrons, Carl Barlow,
who in the AZ years that have
ensued, is now great-grand-
father.
He is married to the former
Iva Misel, who was daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Misel, of
keithtown. They have one son,
Lewis Darrah, Of Marietta.

Doctor Christine Hillman, as
sociate professor, School of

in keeping with the theme, "Har-
mony in the Home - Peace in

that only through harmony in
the home and living peacefully
with your neighbors, family and
friends can peace in the world
be obtained. She also stressed
the change in the mobility of
people and the fact that the cul-
ture is changing from a pre-
dominately rural one to an urban
one. This brings problems that
the homemaker must face, but
she must also lend her influence
to keep her home a pleasant and
fruitful place in which to live.
