900 in 1855 for new facilities and
improvements to existing facili-
ties. This brought to $264,000,000
the total construction investment
made by Ohio Power since the
close of World War II.
The company's total invest
ment in facilities at the end of
1855 was $4l1,37l 900, compared
with $382,4G4,GO0 the previous
year.
During 1855, the company
added 21,839 customers to its
lines, bringing to 43O,076 the
number of customers served at
the end of the year. In the 10
year period, from the end of 1945
to the end of 1855, Ohio Power
has added l28,263 customers to
its lines.

Upon completion of the work
during the last week of April,
Ohio Power will have planted
6,692,250 tree seedlings on some
1900 acres of spoil banks and
unmined land in the l3 years it
has engaged in its reclamation
program.
Last year, the company plant
ed 100000 seedlings in the
Spring and 100000 more in the
Fall. Plans currently are being
formulated for the 1856 Fall
planting.
Starting during the week of
March 26, planters set out the
young trees in Perry, Muskin-
gum, Noble and Morgan counties.
Planting on the mined banks is
being done by hand, while plant
ing on unmined land is being
handled by four mechanical tree
planters.

IN postal rates is necessary.
The proposed postal rates in
creases would cost the average
family about IL cents to Is cents
more a month for postage. This
is true because about 1871 of all
first class mail is used by busi-
ness, and business would pay
most of the cost on this increase,
as well as all of the cost for
second class mail magazines and
neWspapers) and third class mail

Surveys made my many men,
oers of Congress all show that
the people prefer to have their
Post Office Department operated
on a pay-asyou-go basis, and
that they favor increases in first,
second and third class postage
rates by majorities of approxi-
mately 2 to l..
The amount of taxes presently
paid by the taxpayers of Cald-
well, Ohio, to make up the postal
deficit each year of approx
mately one-half billion dollars, is
three times more than what they
will pay if the postages rates
are increased as proposed by
Postmaster General Arthur f.
Summerfield. Therefore, if post
age rates are increased, it will
actually mean a savings to the
citizens of Caldwell, Ohio.

There is NEVER charge for
blood distributed by Red Cross.
The doctor and hospital make a
small charge for administering the
blood, but the blood itself is a
gift from one person to another
through Red Cross. Your Red Cross
chapter pays the cost of collection,
analysis, and distribution.
All blood at MasrUder Hospital
is supplied by the Ottawa County
Red Cross Blood Program and is
transfvsed roufineIy as prescribed
by the doctors. A. sticker is placed
on each recipients bill stating that
the blood he has received was
GIVEN by his neishbors through
Red Gross
Blood is also replaced in hos
pitfalls outside Ottawa County on
behalf of residents of Ottawa
County. If a resident of Ottawa
County is hospitalized outside OF
taWa County - in Toledo, for in
stance = it is his responsibility to
ask his local chapter or the Blood
Bank at the hospital for this Serv-
ice. The Red Cross office has no
way of knowing when person
chooses to go to a doctor or a hos
pital in some other county; the
patient or his family must report
that he needs blood. Every hospital
in Toledo is thoroughly familiar
with the Ottawa County Red Cross
Blood Program and gives fine CO.
operation. Shipments of Red Cross
blood go to Toledo hospitals al
most daily for patients from Of
tawa County.
For the 6-month period, July /,
1855 thru Dec. 81, 1855, the OF,
tawa County Red Cross Blood Pro-
gram collected 426 pints of blood
and distributed 423 pints on behalf
OF its residents at a cost to the
local chapter of $3.50. Although
the important point of the Blood
Program is to make blood avail
able when needed in the necessary
quantity, it is interesting to note
that if the residents of Ottawa
County had had to pay the usual
$50 fee per pint. the total cost of
426 pints would have been $21 300.

Diggs Blasts COP and Dixiecrats
For Education Bill Defeat

Observation-Disclosures hy-
pocriSy was demonstrated on the
question Of civil rights when the
preponderance of Republicans
voted with the Dixiecrats against
the Federal Aid to Education Bill
after having voted for the Powell
Amendment. Since the Dixiecrats
were generally opposed TO federal
aid to education anyway, the re-
sponsibility for the defeat of this
measure lies squarely in the lap
OF the Republican party, because
Northern Democrats voted for the
bill. The moral dishonesty of Re-
publicanS was matched by a will
full band of little men from the
South, who although their areas
stood to benefit the most from
this measure, were willing to
sacrifice desperately needed new
school construction rather than
obtain funds by complying with
the Supreme Court decision
against deSegregation.
It should now be clear to all
America that this unholy alliance
has been and still is the principal
deterrent to the enactment of
liberal legislation in the field of
civil rights and other matters
dear to the hearts of minorities
and working-class people. It also
demonstrates that the great task
before right-thin!kisg people of all
groups who are interested in q
peoples program is to replace the
reactionary Republican Congress-
men from the North with liberal
Democrats. There were enough
no votes cast by Republican
Congressman from Michigan, Ohio,
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois
and California alone to have more
than overcome the thirty vote
margin by which the school aid
bill was defeated. I hope that
when other civil rights measures,
presently scheduled to come UP
during the week of July 9th, are
discussed for vote, the Republican
Members of Congress will by then
have passed through purgatory
and be ready to redeem them
selves partially for their undemo-
cratic action on school segre-
cation.
