Profitable Idea

WYE take pleasure today in publishing the
w cuts Of % young ladies entered in
three Queen Contests" which mean great
deal to the sponsors thereof.
Five of these are entered in the Western
Pennsylvania United Lodges 1856 search for
Miss CFU VIZ; ten in a similar contest
being sponsored by the United CFU Lodges
of Cleveland, Ohio; and seven in one being
conducted by the Croatian National Associa-
ton of Los Angeles.
There is-of course-a mercenary reason
for the sponsorship Of these contests Those
behind them need money for one good pur-
pose or another and seek to extract it from
the public through the personalities of the
contestants.
THE IDEA Of sponsoring Miss CFU'
contest in conjunction with the annual West
ern Pennsylvania United Lodges "CFU Day.
was conceived by the Editors of the Zaied-
nicar back in 1850.
Prior to 1850 the Western Pennsylvania
United Lodges (WPUL) were more or less
sponsoring their "CF'U Day" for their health
and the greatest beneficiary therefrom was
inevitably the management of the park.
When the idea in question was first
broached, it was dismissed in some quarters
as bordering on the nonsensical. "Paradi-
ranje - parading," said one.
But the idea was nonetheless adopted in
1850 by the WPUL and the Miss CFU'
contest is now in its seventh season No
longer is it considered ''paradiranje." Not
from the financial standpoint
THANKS TO the success of these Miss
CFU' contests the WPUL were able last
year to purchase their own Club House and
Outing Grounds-the Croatian Center
While the investment here now represents
some $30,00OOO there is no reason to be-
lieve that the WPUL cannot operate. The
Croatian Center on a profitable basis and
engage in mortgage burning celebration
in the near future.
Certainly the profits derived from the
Miss CFU" contests of the future will help
ease the financial burden in question and
aid in its eventual eradication.
1T is the fond hope of the Society's Unit
ed Lodges of Cleveland to purchase picnic
grounds from the profits derived from their
Queen Contests" and do so soon.
The Los Angeles Croatian National AS
sociation, on the other hand, is hopeful of
burning the mortgage on it's property All
gust II, 1856 thanks to the success of that
groups annual Queen Contests" and other
profitable ventures.
No doubt the same can be said of other
centers sponsoring contests Of this nature
both here in the United States of America
and the Dominion of Canada

Almost But Not Quite

The Caldwell Journal is celebrating it's
98th birthday anniversary with this issue
OF the publication, which almost as many
years ago adopted as it's slogan, "Covers
Noble County Like The Sunshine.
We are nearing the century mark with
this volume or as Aug Ahrendts put it,
almost but not Quite.

There really isn't much to say except
that we let The Journal speak for itself as
it goes into the homes of Noble county and
the surrounding area.
However, there is no question that as
the paper gets older so do the owners and
those who are so largely instrumental in
bringing the printed word to you.
1t was back in 1881 that Clarence J.
Estadt first started with The Journal in a
delivery capacity, when the paper was
published tri-weekly or as Bober would put
it, eve got out one issue and then tried to
get out the other two". He is in his 25th year
or silver anniversary.

he graduated from high school in 1882 as

Economy Moves Forward

The ability to spend more is made
possible by better earnings. The data shows
that despite certain soft spots in the local
economy, the net disposable income among
families in Noble county came to $l2,545, 900
last year.
Divided by the number of local families
it amounted automatically to $3,584 per
family compared with $3,279 in 1854.
The improvement, which amounted to
9.3 percent, was better than was achieved
generally. The gain was 3.6 percent for the
United States.
The ratio of how much is actually being
spent in each community, as compared with
it's full capacity, is shown in the survey by
a buying power index This weighted
figure is based on such factors as income,
sales and population. 1t lists Noble county
as able to produce .OO52 percent of the
nations retail business Since a smaller
amount was done last year, .OO48 percent, it
is evident that considerable sales potential
is still available.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1956-07-05

Noble county motorists should remember
that last Sunday the federal tax on gasoline
went up 1-cent gallon, as part of the $13
billion increase in federal automotive taxes
enacted by Congress this year for financing
the 13-year federal highway program.
John L. Marsh, executive secretary of
the Petroleum Industry Committee of Ohio,
noted that this increase, added to the present
2-cent federal tax and the Scent state tax,
will bring total state and federal taxes in
Ohio to 8 cents gallon. This, he said, is
equivalent to about 38 percent sales tax
on gasoline.
Commenting on the amazing growth"
in motor fuel taxation in this state through
the years, Marsh pointed out that the Ohio
gas tax, first imposed at 2-cent rate in 1925,
brought in only $13257,0O0 the first full

Significant business gains were made
in Noble county in the past year as it's
residents, enjoying, relatively good incomes
and high rate of employment, expressed
their strength in large-scale buying in the
local retail shops.
This is brought out in copyrighted
study of business in the nations cities and
counties, released in Sales Management's
new buying power survey.
The high tempo of activity in Noble
county is seen in the amount of retail busi-
ness recorded. 1t added up to $9,00l 900
year for the local merchants. This was a
gain over the $7,9860O0 of the previous year.
What was the direction of the bigger
spending? The extra money available was
used to buy the things that make for better
standard of living. People equipped them
selves with more of the modern devices that
add to comfort and convenience. Electric
refrigerators, washing machines, better
homes fancier cars and the many other
items that were once pure-luxury have
become musts for more people. :. =. .--

Coal Exports


For those of us who have
marked the decline of the coal
industry, at least so far as South
eastern Ohio is concerned, re-
cent statement of the Coal Ex-
porters Association would serve
to give some encouragement. Ac-
cording to the Association, coal
shipments abroad have averaged
3R million tons per month since
July of last year and the tonnage
for the year is only a few million
tons below the record exports of
1947. The Association goes on to
say that it is entirely possible
that the 1856 exports might top
those of 1947 and establish new
record. These exports include
both bituminous and anthracite
coal and coke.
We are all hopeful that this
| high volume of exports can con-
tinue and that it results in new
and added activity in one of the
basic industries of Southeastern
Ohio. AS increased coal exports
continue, some of the exported
coal will almost certainly come
from Southeastern Ohio. Failing
that, Southeastern Ohio coal
should find new markets in this
country which have been pre-
viously supplied by those fields
which will ship coal to foreign
countries. In any case, this trend
| is a hopeful one that the long
| pail which has hung over ou1
| coal fields may be lifting.
| Foreign Aid
| l have received many letters
in the past several weeks con.
corning the question of our for,
eign aid program. Both from the
standpoint of the dollars expend.
ed and the controversy the pro,
gram has aroused, this measure
provided one of the major de,
bates in the House of Represen
tatives this year. From my study
of the many aspects of foreign
| aid, l concluded that the dollars
doled out to foreign nations
should be reduced and wher
these issues were brought up,
voted accordingly. Even with the
reduction of funds in the House
| bills, a provision for $3.8 billions
| seemed too great a sum par
| ticularly in view of the fact that
on July l, 1856, the program
will still have at its disposal ap.
proximately $6.5 billion with
which to operate.
Out of this debate a genera
feeling became apparent in the
Congress that world condition:
today make reappraisal of oul
foreign policy necessary. This
reappraisa], of course, will affec
the future commitments which
we should make in the foreign
aid field.
The economic well-being of the
United States is our first line o.
defense against communism. L

Federal Gas Tax Boost

year it was in effect He added:
Now, with this new increase in the
federal tax highway users of this state will
be paying an estimated $216 million year
about Is times as much-in state and federal
taxes on gasoline.
He said the 1-cent federal increase,
expected to yield more than half a billion
dollars a year nationally, will bring to about
81 million the amount of federal gas tax
collected annually in Ohio.
Motorists have a great stake in high
ways, Marsh said, but certainly they are
paying for them. He noted that the present
tax hike is the 9th general increase in gas
tax rates motorists of this state have been
called on to pay in the 81 years that gasoline
has been taxed here

Best Kept Public Place
Has Dirtiest job In TOUn

Buttons sewage disposal plant
situated at the north edge Of the vii
lage has the dirtiest job in town, but
oddly enough it is one Of the cleanest
and best cared for public places in the
entire community.
The task of keeping the premises
Of sewage plant almost spotless
would seem impossible. But, it seems
the more impossible when one consid-
ers that the plant treats on an aver
age of some 100000 gallons of sew
age per day. This figure has reached
100000 gallons per day after a
heavy rain.
These figures are not guesswork.
Operators Harry Triplehorn and
Ralph Diller record the exact amount
of sewage taken into the plant on a
Ventura tube. The gadget registers
even the time to the minute when
pumps turn on and shut off in a "a
hour period.
81 Per Cent Efficient
As to whether the disposal plant ac-
complishes the job for which it was
intended Triplehorn stated that the
plant'operates at about 81 percent ef-
fciency.
In fact, when the sewage has been
processed through plant, with the ad-
dltlon of small amount of chlorine, at
the point where it empties into the
creek, it would be satisfactory for
drinking purposes, the operators aver.
Further proof of the efficient oper-
alton of the plant is seen in tests TAX

from Bluffton. At that time he report-
ed a noticeable absence of fish and
other marine life. Then, some six
months ago, he again took tests at the
same spot and found the place was

In addition to the fact that the
