TROUBLE AHEAD
BY DIR. Alfred z. Haake

An old fable tells US of a
shepherd boy who ran to the
village during the night to
warn the villagers that a wolf
was attacking their flocks. The
men ran to drive off the wolf,
but found that the boy had
fooled them. A second time,
the boy ran through the viii
lage, crying Wolf, Wolff" And
a second time, the men ran
out to drive off the wolves
that were not there.
Later III the night the wolves
did attack the floCks. Despera-
tely the shepherd boy ran
through the village trying to
arouse the men, but they re-
fused to be fooled a third time.
They stayed snugly in their
beds while the wolves manned
and destroyed their sheep.
The story could we'll be told
another way. 1t could be that
the first time the villagers ran
out the wolf was there, but too
far away to be worried about.

The Employment Picture

1t is said that approximately one-seventh
of the available women are trained for
clerical, sales or service occupations. Almost
one-half are senni-skilled and the remainder
mostly unskilled. Three-tenths Of the women
are younger than 35 years and some of them
have had experience as inspectors in fabri-
Gated metal concerns and as laborers in the
food and tile industries. Others have worked
as mattresses and secretaries are said to be
very scarce.
Agriculture is still considered Noble
county's chief industry. More than two-fifths
of the county's 5000 working residents were
farming in 1850; one-tenth were employed
in mining or quarrying and similar number
were on factory payrolls. Plants within
Noble county supplied jobs for an average
of 500 individuals during 1855.
The major area industries listed are nom
electrical machinery lumber and stone-clay-
glass Products of Caldwell manufacturers
are bearings, wooden containers, plastics,
film, building brick and dairy products.

The American Way X

The second time the villagers
saw the wolves, nearer, but
refused to take them seriously.
And by the third time they
had concluded that the wolves
would not hurt their sheep
anyway.
That's the way the story
should be told to symbolic the
reaction of the public to the
dangers of initiation.
The terrible truth revealed
by the fable is that, even
today, at this moment, honest,
Well-informed and devoted
observers are crying, Wolf,
Wolff" to ears that are deaf
with indulgence. Worse, the
warning Of initiation is even
taken as the harbinger of bet

Initiation is not a simple dan

Around 700 persons, including 200
women, are available for local employment
at current wage rates, according to the labor
market information released today by the
office of the unemployment service, with
headquarters in Cambridge for this county.
From labor supply angle, it was inter-
esting to learn that an estimated 500 men
and 200 women could be hired for jobs in
Caldwell at existing wage levels. Over cne-
fifth are outcommuters who would probably
accept comparable local work, according to
Don Robertson, head of the unemployment
bureau here.
He pointed out that about one-tenth of
the men are skilled, over one-third semi
skilled and the balance largely unskilled.
Two out of the five workers are between
18 and 45 years of age. A number of men
in the labor supply have been tool dressers
in petroleum production, truck drivers,
carpenters and building construction labor
ers. Laborers with highway construction
experience are also available and there is
some difficulty locally finding machinists.

The first observance of Armed Forces
day was held ir Noble county Sunday with
members of the Ohio National Guard
ambulance unit doing the full honors.
Under the commander of Capt Charles
J. Coyle the entire company put on a show
that pleased the general public who attended
the public demonstration at the Noble county
Playground.
The company held various demonstra-
tions pertaining to their company duties,
such as litter bearing or evacuation, driving
demonstrations, mass evacuation and the
proper handling of all litter cases in the
field.
The Noble county ambulance unit is
now at a strength of 81 men, including so
enlisted men and one officer.
Since their formation less than two
years ago they have advanced to a great
degree in their primary function and effec-
tiveness to the 112th Medical battalion of

which they are affiliated and particularly
to the community wherein most of the
members reside.
Their growth can be indicated from the
size of the quarterly payroll received last
Monday evening which amounted to
$2,45028.
Headlining the speaking program last
Sunday was Rep. Edmund c. James, who
was SO instrumental in the location of a
guard unit in this county.
1t is hoped that such an observance here
will become an annual event for it definitely
has its place in community affairs.
Despite the inclement weather, it was
gratifying to note the larger number who
turned out for the public demonstration by
the local ONG unit.
The helicopter mass evacuation was in
charge of 1st. 1t. Jack LaWry from general
headquarters in Columbus.

Small Business Bill

The Banking and Currency
Committee, of which | am a
member, is commencing its hear
ings on the extension of the
Small Business Act.
The Small Business Admins
tration is an independent agency
which succeeded the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation several
years ago. The Agency's en-
phasis has been in the direction
of assisting small business as
contrasted with the giant cor
porations of our Nation. Since
it's initial enactment in 1858, the
SBA has been in the position of
a permanent agency subject to
renewal every two years. There
is considerable feeling that the
Agency has provedits value and
should become permanent IN
fact. It's operations can then be
even more effective and its
detectives can be made broader
so as to be of additional aSSis-
tance in areas of free enterprise
which feel most keenly the
chronological and economic
changes of the present decade.
In one of its several important
programs, the SBA has made
loans to small business firms
amounting to $lO6 million. These
are sound loans which are lot
available from private lenders.
However, a greater part of these
loans are in participation with
private banks.

Memorial Day Tips

Thousands of motorists, including many
Noble Countians are eagerly awaiting
Memorial Day next Thursday and the first
of the major summer holidays.
For this reason, they may be little
over-anxious to hit the open road and
officials are warning that such haste might
result only in death and injury to many.
To avoid possible tragedy, when high
ways are crowded and tempers sometimes
short, officials are urging extra caution and
care.
Local law enforcing officials said today
that the major highways in this county
would be patrolled over the holiday and
every effort made to keep down accidents
in this county.
In order to cooperate with these officials,
here are several tips that they are asking
the motorist in this county to observe:
Keep a safe distance behind the car

ahead-at least one car length for each ten
miles of speed.
Stay in your own lane on hills, curves
and in mo passing zone"
Don't pass at intersections and never
attempt to pass more than one car at time
If you drink, don't drive.
Slow down when driving at night, and
dim your lights to oncoming traffic.
Never drive car if you are sleepy,
fatigued or emotionally upset.
Never cross a solid double line to pass
another car. 1t might be the last move you
ever make.
Always get out of your vehicle by the
curb-sde door
Slowpoke driving can be dangerous
Keep up with the normal flow of traffic
Driving safely is full time job. Don't
sacrifice your life for day dream.
