Price Of LowIy Potato
Climbs to Record Hioh

The humble potato isn't hum
BILE any longer.
1t is commanding a price of
IS cents for five pounds. A year
ago, you had to pay only 80 cents
for 10 pounds.
Produce men believe the pres
ent price probably sets new
high. They say it is higher than
it was during black market days
and probably higher than the
days of World War 1. when there
was a serious shortage.
In New York. according to the
Associated Press. the price was
less than in Washington-five
pounds for SO cents. Most potato
dealers were blaming the price
on a late growing season from
Florida all the way along the
East Coast to Long Island. Vir-
glnia is said to be the area sup

One explanation for the short

for livestock feed and starch. A
large quantity of potatoes went
into those products. Also, con-

The Marines had sailors
luck with the weather yester-
day.
An overcast sky threatened
all afternoon to spoil the col
orful sunset parade and gar
den reception the Command
ant of the Marine Corps and
Mrs. Randolph Nice. Pate gave
in honor of the Secretary OF
the Navy and Mrs. Charles
Thomas.
But just as the parade be-
gan at the historic Marine
Barracks, the sun came out
and a brisk breeze provided an
extra air-conditioning comfort
for the spectators and wool
coated Marines who gave. as
always, their usual Al preci-
sion performance.
Guests attending the recep-
ton in the garden of Com
mandant's House afterwards,
noted something new had been
added. A section of the Ma
rine Band Orchestra, stationed
lust outside the garden, con-
tributed a musical background
during the hours of the recep-
ton.
To Dedicate Memorial
Much of the cocktail talk
centered around vacation COM
ings and goings. But it will be
all work for Secretary Thomas,
who with Mrs. Thomas. leaves
next Saturday for Europe.
While Mrs. Thomas remains
in Naples visiting with Vice
Admiral and Mrs. Robert P.
Briscoe. the Secretary will
spend week with the United
States 9th Fleet in the Medi-
terranean. On July 80, he will
dedicate the War Memorial
Cemetery at AnZio Beach.
Then. the ThomaseS will be of

Food for ThOuSht

Caldwell and Noble county has the real
makings of a museum but are doing
absolutely nothing about it, according to Roy
Cross, Columbus Dispatch writer, and we
are inclined to agree with him.
He writes concerning the many valu-
able museum. pieces which the late G. A.
Dye of Belle Valley left to the county with
the terms that the county provide space
for it.
This was IS years ago and since that
time it has been crowded into two rooms
adjacent to the office of Clerk of Courts
John H. Snyder and just recently moved
to the rooms usually reserved for the
prosecuting attorney.
The clerks office needed the room and
since the prosecutors office was never used,
the county commissioners voted to move
the museum to its new location.
Since it is on the third floor of the court
house and crowded into two small rooms,
without any opportunity to display it
adequately the museum is seldom if ever
visited by the public in general.
The Columbus Dispatch writer feels
that if enough attention is drawn to the
collection, adequate quarters will be pro-
vided and some organization found who
would promote the idea.
The widow of c. A. Dye now makes her
home in Sarasota, Florida, where she has
lived since the death of her husband,
prominent funeral director and furniture
dealer
The late Mr.. Dye rose to prominence as
a funeral director when the mighty Shenan-
doah broke apart across Noble county, killing
it's commander and Is others. This was back
in 1925.
The article, as written by Mr. Cross, is
as follows:
Caldwell has the makings of good
museum practically going to waste.
Crowded into two rooms on the third
floor of the Noble county courthouse, acre,

Payments of two types to
farmers under the soil bank"
crop reduction plans are counted
as net earnings in computing
earnings for social security in
surance benefit payments, and
payments of third type may be
counted under certain conditions,
according to Robert B. YoumanS,
district manager of the Zanes-
vile Social Security Administra-
ton at sos South Street, who
said many inquiries had been re-
ceived on this subject.
The soil bank payments to be
counted as net earnings by self
employed farm operators are
those made under the acreage
reserve" program and the annual
payments for land placed in the
conservation reserve" You
mans said. These payments re-
place income which the farmer
reasonably could have expected
if his land had been kept in nor
NAL crop uses"
A third type of soil bank pay
ment is the conSerVation-reServe
reimbursement payment. These
are payments made by the Fed
eral Government TO pay part of
the cost of carrying out the con-
servatlon practices and making
improvements on the conSerVa-
ton reserve. They are included
in figuring the farmers net
earnings only if the expenditures
are deductible as business ex-
penseS for income tax purposes.
A landlord who owns a farm
and participates materially in
the production or management of
production Of farm commodities
gets social security credit for his
share of the soil bank payments
just as the farm operator does,
Youmans pointed out. For a farm
owner who receives rental in
come but who takes no part in
the actual operation of the farm,
neither the soil bank payments
nor the other rental income
counts toward social security
benefits.
Farmers who retire and claim
social security payments in 1856
and then receive soil bank pay
ments in 1856 may file an ap-
plication for recomputation
after the first of the year, You
mans said.
Farmers who draw soil bank
payments are subject TO self-em,

are hundreds of souvenirs of the world
travels of the late c. A. Dye, Belle Valley.
The Dyes gave their extensive collec-
ton to the county about IS years ago.
The collection ranges from carved ivory
and teakwood figures to stuffed birds and
of nations throughout the world, from the
brightly colored dolls of gypsy children to
the crude toys of Eskimo youngsters.
Currency from Hong Kong, Seminole
relics, early Indian pottery and tools,
valuable statues clothing from foreign
nations and selection of antiques, includ-
ing an old high-Wheel bicycle are in the
museum.
While the doors are open to the public,
few persons other than local residents are
aware of it's existence. Children from Cald-
we'll schools often visit the crowded rooms
to study the carefully identified exhibits.
Friends of the Dyes said the Belle VAL
ley couple took great pride in the memoirs
of their travels and for many years had them
on display at their home Mr.. Dye was a
funeral director and furniture dealer
When the collection was given the
county it was on the terms that the county
furnish space for the display In that respect,
the county has fulfilled the bargain, but
today many of the articles are dust covered.
There are numerous persons in Cald-
well who feel that steps should be taken to
improve the museum situation, and to bring
the countys unusual courthouse attraction
to the attention of visitors
But the desires seem to be wasting, like
the museum, for lack of leadership. Some
feel that at least signs should be erected at
the town gates or on the courthouse square
to advise travellers of the presence of the
display
They also feel that if enough attention
is drawn to the collection perhaps enlarged
quarters can be obtained, and an organiza-
ton found to promote the museum.

Tragedy y III Christmas

And where fire prevention is concerned,
we find that encouraging progress is being
made. The capital stock fire insurance busi-
ness for instance, like the transportation
industry, has developed highly important
safety education programs.
Of these, one of the most outstanding
deals with Christmas fire hazards and the
ways and means of correcting them. Such
program deserves the support of every
individual. Only then can the appalling
Christmas holiday toll in lives lost and
property destroyed by fire be curtailed.
Christmas should be joyous season for
everyone but it can only be such if the
individual is ever mindful whether it be on
the highway, in the home, or around the
farm.
Tragedy such as the above can only be
averted, if you mix caution with joy during
the Yuletide season.
