Noble County Economy

the tune of $1OOO3,OOO, exceeding 1855
volume of $9,001,000
1t was an Improvement of Ill percent
over the prior year, comparing favorably
with the 3,9 percent gain in the United
States and with the 10.5 percent in the State
of Ohio.
Most retail lines profited, the report
shows Consumers expressed their prefer
ences however, spelling out bigger gains
for some than for others Non-durable goods,
ranging from food to apparel, made the
greatest advances.
The buying urge on the part of the
public at large is attributed to a general
feeling of confidence. People have little fear
of the future. Jobs seem secure and incomes
keep rising SO that, with their pensions,
retirement income, health benefits and
other financial bulwarks they feel they can
devote more Of their money to better living
today. The result is seen in the fact that
more families are acquiring their own homes,
are driving better cars, wearing finer clothes,
eating more expensive food and taking
bigger vacations.

With its buying power and its business
productivity at high level, Noble county
is rated a strong market in a new, national
survey conducted by Sales Management.
The copyrighted study contains detailed
data on individual incomes and on retail
sales for all parts of the country.
Earnings were high locally during the
past year, it shows. After deduction of
personal income taxes, local residents had
net, spendable income of $l3,OO2,0O0, a
gain over the $12, 900 of 1855.
What this represented on a per family
basis was determined by dividing the dollar
volume by the number of families. 1t came
to S3,7l5 per family, compared with 1854
per family previously.
The good earnings were the driving
power that made the year big one for
retailers in general The consumer, with
added money in his pocket and with firm
conviction that good times would continue
into the forseeable future, spent freely,
buying more and better goods and services,
Noble county merchants, as result, had
good year. Their cash registers jingled to

SURVIVING THE HARD

Norway is a horrible ex-
ample of how socialization of a
nations economy, with result
ant back breaking and confis-
catory taxes, can bring it not
only to the brink of financial
ruin, but create ridiculous and
disrupting consequences to its
family life.

SO-YR. VICTIM OF
RHEUMATIC PAIN

Recently an 80-year-old lady
said she always enjoyed health
until 3 years ago when rheumatic
pains afflicted her entire right
side. She said she tried every
thing she heard of but never got
any real relief until she found
RUGON. Now she says she can
walk without pain and enjoys
life once again.
RUGON is helping so many
victims of rheumatism and neur-
tits because this NEW Liquid
Formula contains Three Wonder
full Ingredients. Not a tablet or
capsule. RUGON goes to the very
source of pain almost at once and
costs but a few cents a day to
take. So don't go on suffering.

Fuss Budget

EuSS buuSCk
The controversy over the bud
get continues to rage. To those
who say that the budget cannot
be cut, one can point to the
extravagances and excesses of
modern government to the
waste which often grows up in
branches and departments of
government, including the legis-
latiVe branch.
Several years ago, Congress
authorized an expenditure OF
$4,000 to make surveys and in
vestigations of the desirability
for an additional House Office
Building. BY various and devious
parliamentary methods, this
authorization has now become a
commitment to spend an unpre-
cedented amount which may ulti-
mately reach $l00 million for
this third House of Representa-
tives office building. Of course,
such conveniences are impress
sive, but | am able to operate
in the office Accommodations now
provided and | know of no rea-
son why other members of Con-
gress cannot do the same. A roll
call vote on an attempt to cut
off additional funds for this
unnecessary project was sub
stantially defeated. This is one
example, but a very glaring one,
of a needless expenditure in gov
ernment. I point to it and to
other excesses when / suggest
that the Budget can be cut if
members of Congress have the
fortitude to do it.
What Happens To The Empires?
In discussing reductions in re-
commended expenditures, there
are certain ingrained human
traits to consider. 1t very often
happens that the effect any sub
Stantial cut will have upon de-
partmentS of government is not
what is intended by Congress.
Rather than endeavor to elimin-
ate waste and cut padded expen-
ditures and to attempt to operate
in a more efficient manner, past
experience has shown that the
affected departments often cut
essential functions as proof that
Congress is determined to wreck
necessary programs through bud
get cuts.
AS an example, instead of
eliminating waste and duplica-
ton in military activities which
every serViceman and veteran
knows exist, the reaction by the
affected service can be to eli
inmate a division or an air wing
or a new combat ship. In fact
on Monday of this week, one OF
the first arguments against the

Divorce AS A Means OF
Survival

People are starting to di-
Vorce one another to get round
the "samskatt' regulations,
whereby a married couple is
assessed on the combined in
come of both parties. ''Verdens
Gang has traced three such
divorces, all of comparatively
recent date and all involving
Oslo couples.
Common to them all is the
fact that divorce proceedings
were instituted in secret; nei-
ther family nor friends are
aware of what has taken place,
and the couples concerned con-
tinue to live together, to all
intents and purposes man and
wife.

realize just how unfair this
