fleets of cars trucks and buses flooded in. And every
new smokestack, every new exhaust pipe, every new
incinerator poured its fumes into the sky until the air
was grayed and repugnant.
An unusual weather condition, which often seals the
city, brought Los Angeles problem to a crisis very
quickly. But city has unlimited clean air. and in
every city smog production is rising rapidly We who
are fighting smog convinced it's only matter of
time until good many cities have crossed what we
call the smog threshold"
This threshold is certain concentration of undesir-
able gases and particles in the air concentration at
which eyes begin to smart, plants wilt Below that con-
centration the air can seem tolerable. But few more
factories, few thousand cars and suddenly the city
awakens to learn how miserable smog can be.
How many cities already afflicted? One way of
recognizing smog by observing the damage tdoes to
garden and farm plants Botanist Frits w. Went, of
California Institute of Technology, who has studied
smog damage around the world, has noted some inter-

Your city has a certain amount Of natural ventia-

every day But this air is at the mercy of the winds,
and generally limited
Your home has natural ventilation, too. Usually
enough fresh air foryour needs comes into it, even with
the doors and windows closed. If crowd of guests
begin to smoke and the air becomes unpleasant. you
simply open a window.

Until l94O Los Angeles thriving city in the sun,
famed for its bright clear skies By 1915 those
skies were too often dirty gray-brown. An eye
smarting exasperatng pail settled over the city.
Many crops began to fade and die. Paint and rubber
cracked Housewives claimed that laundry hung in the
pald sun turned gray with dirt The sick complained
they were sicker.
Los Angeles gaining its title smog capital of
the world. In sudden surge of growth, the city had
polluted intolerably the very air it breathed.
Unfortunately but quite probably much the same thing
is happening to me city in which you live.
If you doubt this consider these facts: Across the
nation private citizens universities medical men and
engineers are expendng millions to fight smog Indus
Try alone has spent over SI0O million in the battle.
Every city in the US. of 100000 population has
smoe officials and research, do many smaller towns
AS early as 1919. President Truman ordered all
government departments concerned to meet and study
the problem
Last year, President Eisenhower asked for smog
research and action in his annual State of the Union
message In response, Congress authorized the spend
ing of SIS million smog research. This concern is
not for Los Angeles alone For every big city in the
nation and in the world = is well on its way to
becoming smog-bound.
What is smog? How can it sneak into the air of your
city so insidiousy that it becomes grave problem
before you are even aware of its presence?

local Newspapers Provide Vital Link Between
People And Government; Invaluable To Community

October l through October 8 has
been declared National Newspap-
er Week, and newspapers through
out the country have been promot-
ing the idea that newspapers are
important to the community in
many ways. This newspaper is no
exception. AS a matter of fact, 1T
is well known that it surpasses in
benefits TO the community many
of the large dailies.
The Madison Press Company
with the newspapers published in
the plant at London, has a grow
ing influence on this and several
other communities. The influence
ranges from general coverage of
news, through court information
and on to coverage OF social and
civic gatherings. But above all, the
payroll of this plant adds consider
ably to the buying power of the
localities. where the employees and
representatives live.
In direct contact with the op-
Grafton of collecting, assembling,
printing and distributing the news
are 48 people. These people do not
include the news stands, the drug
stores and other places where the
newspapers are sold. But the buy
ing power of the salaries paid to
the 48 people connected with the
plant proper affect every business
in Madison county, and in several
surrounding areas where some en-
ployees live.
Actually, these newspapers put
dollars in the pockets of mer-
chants in more direct ways. Ad-
vertising in these newspapers
helps the merchants to dispose of
their goods, helps to keep the sup
plies moving, helps to create vol
ume and gives them better buy
ing power.
The free publicity these news
papers give to local business can
not be undereStimated. An exam
pie of this is evident in the install
lation of the new type telephones
which will be put to use here over
the weekend. The Ohio Bell Tele-
phone company is utilizing the adj
vertising columns to reach the pub
lie, but for the human interest, the
news interest and the personal
touch, they depend upon local
writer's who detect more local con-
nections and color.
It is seldom that a major trans
action or a new business starts
here without publicity which they
do not solicit. Their coming to
London is news in the sense that
it will affect the lives of everyone
else in the community Matters
which affect the lives, the finances
and the habits of citizens are al
ways news.

MEET YOUR CORRESPONDENT
BUSY Day, Busy Day" Best Describes
Life Of Madison Local Correspondent

The Madison Local correspond
ent is the mother of two school
age children, and active in many
civic and community affairs, but
she takes time each week to col
lect news from the many people
living in the area served by Mad
ison Local school, hence the name
of the area.
Mrs. Robert Trehearne also
finds time for a hobby, and her
home reflects the work she puts
into the hobby. Plates and dishes
are in the spotlight in just about
any room where they can be taS-
tefully arranged. And others she
has stacked away waiting for a
suitable vacancy for their display.
The wife of the principal of
Madison Elementary School, she
naturally finds herself obligated
to participate in school activities,
and her children add to this prob
ability.
OF course schools and hobbies
don't take up all her time. She
generally has one thing or another
working all the time, and among
them are the things which take
up her few spare minutes.
She teaches a Sunday School
Class at the Newport Methodist
Church, and for the past two years
has been president of the WS.C.S.
at the Church. In addition to this
she is a member of the Alumni

Busiest Day In
History Of Firm
Expected Sunday

London's operator controlled
telephone system will end promp-
tly at 200 am. Sunday, and the
Ohio Bell Telephone Company ex-
poets Sunday to be one of the bus
lest days in the history of the COM
pany in the City.
Hundreds of people in London,
with the new dial system, will be
testing the novel equipment, and
will keep the new office busy. At
least that is the trend in other
areas where dial has been INSTALL
ed for the first time. And when
the entire system is SO busy, there
are probably high chances that the
number being called will be busy.
The company management has re-
quested that everyone give such
consideration on Sunday when
most people will be using the dials.
With the innovation of direct
distance dialing to London, people
who experiment with the dial may
end up with unexpected toll char
ges. Trial and error" dialing may
result in the subscriber reaching
distant city, and the automatic
message accounting machine will
record the call as if it had been
intentional, with the charge occur
ring on the bills. The suggestion
has been made that the subscrib-
ers know the number before dial
ing to avoid the difficulty.
r. P. Redman, commercial man.
ager of the London office, said
the subscribers should utilize the
new directories. He advised again
st trying to remember the num-
bers until they become more FAM
iliar with the new system.

city's Purchase
OF Leaf Loader
Given Approval

London's City Council decided
Thursday night to have no further
talks concerning Ohio Edison's
rate negotiations until the COM
pany makes certain changes In
the proposed structure.
Council indicated that they
will consider further talks
waste of time unless an increase
in the minimum demand is made
and/or a limitation of six-tenths
of one per cent of the 100 users
(about II homes) be the maxi
mum number of people using de-
mand meters at any time. Council
also requests certain special ar
rangements made concerning sea-
sonal rates for the London Ath-
letic Field.
Actually a few of the council
men were willing to accept the
ordinance as presented, one was
totally against the ordinance, a.
mother requested 3 percentage IL
imitation be placed in the ordi-
nance, and another asked that
customers be permitted to use as
much as 5000 watts in a specific
demand period before being pla-
ced on demand rates.
The proposed rate structure
calls for demand billing for a
twelve month period should a Gus
toner show a demand of 5000
watts per half hour in two con-
secutive months. Ohio Edison a.
gents indicated that such a de-
mand would not affect the ma
jority of users in London, includ-
ing those who have many electri-
cal appliances and household e.
quipment, including ranges. No
indication was made as TO whe-
ther or not Ohio Edison will Of
fer counter proposals.
IN other action council gave
emergency approval to an ordi-
nance permitting the service di-
rector to advertise for bids and
purchase leaf collector and loa-
der in time for use this season;

ting an alley in Swetland addition

approval to an ordinance assess
ing a sewer levy on properties
