The trend toward even higher
payments is continuing in many
sections of the State, the associa-
ton reported, and for the first
time in history, total interest paid
on savings accounts by banks ap-
pears certain to surpass fifty mil
lion dollars ($50,000,000) during
1856. This will amount to more
than 1870 of total operating in
come. making it the third largest
single item of expense which
banks must bear in carrying on
their public service features.
Time deposits, including public
funds, in Ohio banks increased ap-
proximately one hundred fifty
four million dollars ($154 900, ,000)
during the past year, and total de-
posits of this nature now approx
innate three billion five hundred
million dollars (S3, ,500,000,000).
Total deposits of all kinds includ-
ing checking accounts, amounted
to ten billion one hundred fifteen
million dollars ($10.115,000,0 ,0o0),
or more than the amount deposit
ed in all other kinds of financial
institutions in the State.

Farmers Urged To
Watch Pig Health

Livestock health authorities have
urged farmers to be especially a.
lert for signs of erysipelaS in
young pigs this fall
This condition is one of the hog
diseases that can mean the differ
ence between profit and loss in
pork production, say officials of
the American Foundation for AMI
NAL Health.
Swine erysipelas may occur in
several forms and may strike pigs
at different ages. It is extremely
hard to distinguish from hog chol-
era and from several other swine
diseases.
Vaccination will control swine
erysipelas, but there is no treat
ment for chronically affected pigs.
Such animals rarely pay their way
when kept in the feed lot, but of
far greater danger is the fact that
they constitute a source Of further
infection.
The germ that causes swine ery-
sipelas can also infect birds, sheep
and man, the Foundation warns.
Early symptoms include high tenn
perature, loss of appetite, stiff gait,
lameness and arched back. The
Foundation stresses the Importance
of obtaining a veterinary diagnosis
at the first sign of any of these
symptoms, so undue losses can be
prevented and so a vaccination con-
troll plan can be started.

of benefits, only 513 teachers were
able to retire. In 1855, it had risen
only to 702. But in 1856, an eSti-
mated 100 teachers are leaving
the school system.
Business and industry have hit
the school system hard by offering
teachers better salaries than the
school can pay. According to fig
ures shown the State Board, col
leges are preparing as many sci
ence and mathematics teachers as
ever, but they are drifting into
other fields. Top salary for a be-
ginning teacher in Ohio is $4,000.
Industry has been able to offer the
same men starting salaries at &c.
900. In one week, Mr.. Bowers stat
ed, three critically needed science
teachers resigned to take positions
in industry at salaries ranging
from $500 to $4,000.
Finally, the amended Senate Bill
321, designed to open the way for
more efficient operation of schools,
has actually put further dent in
the teacher shortage problem. The
bill created a large number of sup
ervisory jobs, and, since there were
not enough qualified persons to fill
them, active teachers, needed in
their respective schools, were pro-
NOTED, thus creating even more
shortages in classroom teaching
positions.
The gravity of the teacher short
age is emphasized by the fact that
public school enrolment is rapidly
increasing. This year, it is estimat-
ed, 1,636,773 children will be en-
rolled, an increase of more than
$4,000 over last year. This requires
1,600 more teachers than last year
at time when the teacher pool is
dwindling.

Three Factors In
Schools Causing
Teacher Shortage

More children enrolling in public
schools teachers to teach
them!
This Ohio problem, fast shaping
toward crisis proportions, was un-
deriined at the State Board of Ed
ucation session last week by Har-
old j. Bowers, director of teacher
education and certification for the
state and r, M Eyman, superin-
tendent of public instruction.
Teacher shortage is due to three
factors: changes in the Retirement
Law which enables and encourages
more teachers to leave the profess
sion at age SIS or the end of 40
years of service; the ability of sci
ence and industry to hire teacher
material away from the schools;
Senate Bill 321 which, by creating
a potential 1900 supervisory posi-
tions in the schools. has actually
increased the demands for teach
ers.
While age 10 is the compulsory
retirement age for public school
teachers. they may retire, with
maximum benefits at age 65 or af-
ter 90 years service. In the past,
however, retirement benefits have
been inadequate Many teachers
were forced to continue in the pro-
fession in order to make living.
Benefits now have increased to
the point where teachers are able
to retire comfortably In 1852, for
example, under the former system

important dates of interest to Ohio
voters and is a part of Secretary of
State Browns educational pro-
gram.
The folders are also being dis

even higher number of such
groups, on the state, district and
local levels, have pledged their
cooperation to Mr.. Brown in the
Ohio phase of the 'register-vote"
effort.
The Voters Guide is one of a
series of three published by Mr..
Brown. A Candidates Guide was

will also find several of these members
taking prominent active part.
The close observer would also have
noticed that Miss Lena Alter, in her wheel
chair, was an interested spectator during the
parade and program. This was the first time
in 19 months that Miss Alter has been on the
ground floor and she thoroughly enjoyed
every phase of the program, in addition to
all the friends whom she was able to see and
chat with.
Miss Alter a former we'll known busi-

to her bed and wheel chair since she fell and
broke her hip.

Day for many in Caldwell and it is always
the sidelights that usually prove the most

Several Bond Issues

There will be several bond issues and
tax levies submitted to the voters at the
general election in November, according to
check at the Noble county election board,
Where the necessary preliminary steps have
been taken.
1t is definitely known that the newly
organized Southern Noble school district will
have bond issue and the Caldwell school
district taxpayers will probably be asked
to approve bond issue for the construction
of new high school.
Members of the Caldwell board are
proceeding along these lines and they have
made plans to confer with a registered
architect early this month.
The board has adopted the plan of asking
the voters to approve the necessary bond
issue for the construction of new high
school building, probably on 43 acre site
just north of Caldwell, directly in back of

they are needed for fire call, will also be
called upon to do anything and everything
else of a volunteer nature for the COM

would then be moved completely to the pre-
sent high school building and the grade
buildings on North street would be turned
over to the community for proposed small
hospital.
Since this plan was first announced, the
general public has been very receptive to
the idea and from all indications, they will
probably support such bond issue, if the
school board can secure the additional
financial help from state funds. The amount
of the bond issue is still in doubt but it must
be high enough to assure an adequate build
ing and one which will meet every need of
this community and the county schools as
well for the annual basketball tournament
and many other such gatherings.
Now is the time for the Caldwell school
board to prepare for the future and they
have come up with an excellent idea to meet
the future educational needs of it's young
people for many years to come.

One of the largest crowds in the history
of any Memorial Day was present last We'd
nesday to pay their respects to all veterans
who made the supreme sacrifice and to see
and hear the ever popular Robert T. Secrest,
who made return visit to Noble county for
the first time in several years.
Secrest spoke in his usual eloquent
manner and his retirement from the Hall of
Congress has done nothing to dim this
to the public.
Secrest centered his thoughts on the
veterans of this nation and the need of our
people remaining to ever be mindful of the
debt which they owe each and every living
veteran.

he no longer serves the people of his native
Noble county in the Halls of Congress, they
are still interested in the progress of this
coal miner, who has risen to new and bigger
heights in the span of some so years.

beloved ex-congressman but still native of

Tariffs and The o. Il, C..

Many 18th District residents
are now writing to ask me to
oppose H.R. $3.50, the bill which
would authorize the United
States to join an international
organization known as the Or
ganization for Trade Coopera-
ton. This agency, in turn, would
administer another organization
known as the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade.
This latter fundamentally,
nicknamed GAIT, has had a
checkered history. However, its
chief accomplishment has been
to lower tariff. The United States
has participated in the GAIT for
many years, although this par
ticipation has never been ap-
proved by the Congress. This is
the case despite the fact that the
Congress has specific authority
in our Constitution to regulate
trade.
To me, our joining the O.T.C.
would sanction the activities and
detectives of the GAIT and
would be a kind of back-door
approval of this organization. 1t
would also give away, in what
/ believe to be an unconStitu-
tional delegation of power, the
Congressional prerogatives tc
regulate our nations trade.
Many Southeastern Ohio in
dustries have suffered grievously

decades because of tariff reduc'
