/ Would Hold 1t
Forever Close
To My Heart
BY CARLTON MORRIS
Editor. Gates County Index

Up the road a distance was the
little community where walked
barefoot and happy in the spring
and summer of life, but now the
spring and summer were gone or
the wings of time and l was near
ing the fall and felt that life
could offer me nothing better thar
to allow me to live in this LAND
that I knew and loved, as a boy.
The lilly pads and wild cotton
blossoms were just as pretty as
remembered them, and the river OF
my youth was almost as wide and
exciting as in other days. In the
spring the first violets peeped in
vitingly from the dead grass of
last winter and the fireflies zig.
Jagged their way across the sum-
mer nights. The frogs made their
peculiar music after the rains and
l fled away alone to watch my
cork ride the little ripples of the
creek. But now the summer was
ended and the fall was upon us.
Someone once told me that the
fall was like unto death, for soon
the year would end. He said he
could never endure the sadness
and melancholy of the fall. With
me it is different.
All! the beauty and glory of the
world in the falling of the year
l worshiped at the throne of God
in the fall of the year. looked
on leaves of scarlet, brown and
gold as / walked through the
woodlands and I wanted to gather
the whole wide world into my
arms and hold it forever close to
my heart. When the first wild
geese sounded their haunting calls
in the lonely night, l knew the
fall was with me again and faced
the world each day, expecting
great things to happen.
/ tramped the woodlands and
watched little sparrows hang from
tall grass stems. l listened to the
sleepy chant of squirrels and
watched the flight of wild ducks
across the sunset sky. The waters
of my river turned deep blue in
the fall and sparkled like diamonds
in the wake of my boat. Sometimes
skies were blue and far away and
often they were gray and melan-
choly, for winter would soon drive
all this away. But l was very
happy and content to live life at
its fullest all the live-long day.
My son was growing up. One
long summer, he followed me day
after day as we slipped away to
fish and swim in the river. He
grew hard and brown under the
summer sun and could bait hook
with expert care. He climbed
trees and scratched chigger bites
and his freckles stood out bright
and clear on his young face anc
I only had to look at him anG
my heart would swell and swell
until it seemed as though it woulo
surely burst. He was doing the
things that l liked to do and he
was growing strong and sturdy
No man could ask more for his
son.
During the long summer he was
my constant companion and many
were the days when we drank
warm pop from a bottle and ate
sausage from a can as we ex.
plored the river and it's creeks
that were formed when Goo
created the world.
But time moves on and no man
can stand still, for it was never
intended that way.
The long summer was ended and
the fields were just beginning to
ripen unto the harvest that year
when one night l heard the first
wild geese as they came in on
the North Atlantic Flyways. The

IdluWell, onlO
Dear Mr.. Editor:
We write you this letter in the
form OF report to the people
of Caldwell and Noble county.
First of all, We wish to state
that this is brief history of the
Church of Christ, Main street,
Caldwell Ohio, and this is writ
ten to bring about true facts as
they have happened.
The Main Street Congregation
of the Church of Christ had its
beginning in the early nineteen
forties under the guidance of
neighboring congregations such
as: Summerfield, Bates Hill,
Crum Ridge, Palestine and Pleas
ant City.
We assembled for worship in
the Grange hall, west side Cald-
well, Ohio until April 1850.
During the years the congrega-
ton grew slowly, but carefully
budgeted and planned for the
day when we would own our
meeting house.
During the years l948 and 1949
plans were finally completed for
the present meeting house. The
congregation wished to build an
edifice that would add to the
betterment of the community,
provide plenty of room for ex-
pansion, and be within the bud
get of the membership. We
believe the present structure has
accomplished all these things.
The entire building complete
with pews cost $4,000. Not one
cent was solicited from the
people of Caldwell. About $4,000
remain to be paid to the First
National bank, Caldwell, Ohio.
The lots were donated by men,
Der Of the congregation.
Our membership has grown
slowly from a few to the present
membership of 80. We have had
a gradual increase in member
ship for the past fifteen years.
A complete list of our member
ship is contained in the current
church directory.
Respectfully,
Roger King,
Church Secretary

journal Mail BaS

Read with interest your recent
letter in Mail Bag" as to the
responsibility of lessening the
terrible tragedies which are
occurring daily on our highways.
After the awful toll of human
| lives during BLACK Christmas
the safety counsel asked How
long will this thing last?" That
question is easily answered. Just
as long as we don't take some
much more drastic means to stop
it.
A patrolman stated over the
radio that on one OF our super
highways that everyone was
breaking the speed limit and he
couldn't arrest them all. All he
could do was to arrest an
occasional dodger in and out.
If this officers report is gen.
eral we can conclude that the
automobile has out-laWed the
highway and we may as well
throw up our hands as far as
safety is concerned.
AS to the responsibility it is
a proven fact. that we need not
look to legislation for the ans
wer. | need only to mention one
law recently passed which is
plain silly and that is to put
man in jail three days for COM
mitting cold blooded murder on
our highways. Wherein then
does the responsibility lie?
We have a government Of the
people by the people and for the
people. We also have the privi-
lege of referendum vote When
and if popular opinion reaches
that place God grant it may be
soon) we will have happier
motoring.
They say in England there is
seldom a fatal accident as they
take it more easy. Shall we not
profit by their example?
Am not giving the following
to boast but to simply show how
much wiser it would be to take
slower pace. A friend of mine
and | made three trips to
Phoenix, Arizona and we rarely
drove over forty m.p.h. The point
| wish to make is 1--WE got there"
if it did take US one more day.

Navy ROTC Program
A number of inquiries concern
ing the Navy's Reserve Officers
Training Corps program have
been received within the past
two weeks, and l should like to
take this opportunity to explain
some Of the provisions Of the
program to prevent any miScon
ceptions which may have arisen.
In general, the program is in
two parts. The first provides
four years of NaVy-SubsidiZed
education to selected candidates
in one of 81 colleges or univer-
sites. Upon graduation the
young man is ordered TO active
duty in the Navy or Marine
Corps.
Young men are selected for
this program once each year with
the first step involving participa-
ton in the Navy college Aptitude
Test given each December. Ap-
plicationS must be submitted
directly to the Navy.
The second aspect of the pro-
gram provides for contract
training at each college where a
NROTC program is established.
Contract students are selected
from the freshman class and
must defray the cost Of their
education except for some mini
mum allowances granted during
their last two years.

munity facilities Administration,
in turn subsidiary to the Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency,
| identified as independent" and
therefore apparently responsible
| to no one.
To further complicate matters,
the financial records are con-
solidated with the records of the
Alaska Housing Program, which
in turn has been unified with
seven other small political hous-
ing programs" into a single re
volving fund.- under the Indep-
endent Offices Appropriation
Act of 1855.
Thus eight "programs" and an
unknown number of subsidiary
projects" are now immune to
criticism. We can only gauge the
total capacity of the entire group
to dissipate your tax dollars.
This is described on page 29l of
the 1856 Budget, in part, as fol-
lows:
"By the close of the 1856 fiscal
year assets with a book value of
$485 million will remain out of
the original Federal outlay of
$2.5 billion. BY that date it is
estimated that about 634.5 mil
lion will have been recovered
from management and disposi-
ton and returned to the Treas
ury. In view of the recognized
liquidating character of the
fund, no action is required with
respect to the 1892 million de-
ficit.
Losses of $75.3 million and
$3.50 million are shown respec-
lively in fiscal 1855 and 1856.
Losses from sale Of property are
roughly $28 million and $38 mil
lion in the years, and tempor-
ary housing with book (cosD
value of $73 million and $58 mil
lion is to be demolished"
Thus the total losses of these
interest free, rent free, cost free,
tax free political agencies for
two prosperous years amount to
$35l.2 million or more than IA
per cent of the original federal
outlay. This does not include "the
1922 million deficit"
This leaves us with Somber
problem. If it is logical to tax
you to get one million dollars to
politically subsidiZe and control
a new look for Igloo, it is
equally logical to use your tax
dollars to politically subsidize
and control the lives and living
habits of ANY group, ANY place,
on this planet.
And there are several hundred
political empires which have ap-
parently been generated with
this particular purpose in mind.
They consume half Of every tax
dollar you pay directly or in
directly to government.
We can raise a very active de-
mand upon our Representatives
to abolish this and many similar
activities.
More important, however, we
can permanently outlaw such
alien practices by demanding,
and getting action on the Pro
posed 23rd Amendment" pending
in Congress as House Joint Res
olution 1913. 1t provides that:
The Government of the United
States shall not engage in any
business, professional, CONNER
ciaI, financial or industrial en-
terprise except as specified in the
COnstitutiOn.-WilliS F.. Stone.
