large number will avail themselves of this
opportunity.
Virgil Carrel has been appointed Civil
Defense director for Noble county, although
very little has been done toward this
program.
Since the Caldwell school is stepping
into the picture it is hoped that people in
the Caldwell area will at long last become
civil defense minded and aid officials in
setting up such a program for the school
and community.
1t is one which has much merit but to
date has been very difficult to sell to the
general public.
Perhaps with the school taking the bull
by the horns, the much needed program will
find the backing it has SO sorely lacked and
by the time fall rolls around the organiza-
ton can be functioning smoothly and really
get into high gear for the coming year.
We urge the public to attend this public
Civil Defense demonstration at the Caldwell
grade school Sunday afternoon, May IL.

may become more than a mere
series of recommendations,
but the job still remains to be
done.
Now we face the highest
budget proposal ever made to
the Congress. Both the Presi-
dent and the Congress realize
that it is too high, and each is
perfectly willing that the other
accept the onus of reducing
that budget. There are very
able men in Congress, as well
as in the Cabinet, who have
definite ideas of where the
cutting can be done. But,
when it is proposed to take
out somewhere between five
and seven billion dollars, or
even so modest a figure are
three billion, we hear vigorous
protest from the President
himself.
Apparently, the idea is to
reduce the budget, but not to
eliminate, or even reduce some
of the so-called public services
which the budget provides. In
short, my dear, put on your
bathing suit, hang your clothes
on a hickory limb, but do not
oh do not, go near the water.
Voices demanding the reduc-
ton of government expense
and reduction of taxes, sound
feebler by the hour. As a form

You see, it is finally the

And the getting of votes to-

Half-TrilliOn Dollars

Youngsters at play have no
inhibitions about the use of the
word trillion as a fantastic, un-
believable amount. We have
always hoped that it would re-
main fantastic and unbelievable,
but in this atomic age of guided
missiles and costs in the billions,
our fiscal vocabulary will soon
need to be modernized so as to
include the concept of a triliion
dollars.
Recently, | was investigating
the high cost of defense in this
country not only defense by
our armed forces, but also the
expenditures of the State Depart
ment, the United States Informa-
ton Agency, our contributions
to the United Nations, specialize
ed agencies, and foreign aid,
both military and economic. The
total expenditures for those
agencies of Government, from
l945 to the present time is ap-
proximately one-half trillion dol
lars. This recalls the old patrio-
tic slogan of our nation, which
in modern language must un-
happily be revised to 'Trillions
for Defense, but not one cent for
tribute.
Crops For Industry
Last year, the Congress Great
ed the Commission on Increased
Industrial Use Of Agricultural
Products to explore the possibi-
lity of increasing the use of farm
products by industry other than
for food purposes. At the present
time, only 10 Of the ATS million
acres under cultivation in this
country produce crops for indus
trial purposes. This figure in
cludes tobacco, cotton, wool,
soybeans, corn and some other
crops.
If ways can be found to in
crease such uses, farmers and
consumers alike. would profit
greatly. In this way, our stand
ard of living could be raised and
the great problem of our bounti
full farm production might be
solved not by acreage restric-
tions and soil banks, but through
farmers growing crops for which
there are ready buyers.
Now the Congress has receiv-
ed the first report from the
Commission. Concluding that
present research in this field is
grossly inadequate, the report
points to a need for a series of
promising scientific experiments.
Some of these are the large

UD and COMING

We are taking our hats off this week
to the four eighth graders in the Caldwell
and Noble county schools who attained such
high ranking in the recent state admin
istered scholarship tests for this grade.
In the Caldwell school, Glenn Slay, Jr.,
was the ranking student with high score
of III out of possible 200 points
In the Noble county system, Donna Sue

of Stock local. tied for first place honors
with very high score of 18l points A close
second was Danny Lee Starr, also of Bates
vile, who with the other two county
students ranked in the high one percent of
the state.
In two instances, taking these high
honors seems almost commonplace in the
Slay and Crum families.

The Caldwell school system is moving
forward in their plans to perfect a civil
defense program among their students
DR.. Charles E. Davis has stated that due
to the shortness of the current school term,
it will be possible only to perfect the
organization and at least have it ready to
function this fall at the beginning of the
new term.
Such a program is mandatory and the
ground floor here will be laid on Sunday
afternoon, May II, when Leo Mccarthy
director of the third civil defense area with
headquarters in Alliance comes to Caldwell
for this purpose.
Director Mccarthy is bringing with him
Civil Defense unit and it will be on display
at the Caldwell elementary school Sunday
afternoon, May II at 100 o'clock.
Although this is Mothers Day and
very awkward time to have such program,

to see this mobile unit and it is hoped that

Larry Crum, brother of James Crum, took
the top honors for the county system. They
are the son and daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs
Glenn Slay, Sr., of near Caldwell, and the
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin l.. Crum, of

Danny Lee Starr is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Starr and Miss George is the
daughter of Mrs, Lorena Baker, of Columbus,
but resides with her grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Alva Shuman, of Batesville
1t is always so refreshing to have young
people come out on top of the heap from a
scholastic angle and it is especially gratifying
when they are young people of the eighth
grade level.
1t not only speaks well for the students
but also very highly of their instructors and
the supervision they have received during
the past eight years.

RHEUMATIC PAIN

One lady told us she had rheu-

with a cane most of the time. The
joints of her knees and ankles
were stiff and sore. Recently she

began to go within a few hours,
and now after one week the pain
is gone entirely.
RUGON is helping so many
victims of rheumatism and neur-

gallons of water per minute, and
