we seek to continue six high schools in
the county? Remember the old fable of the
bundle of sticks? In union there is strength
Union will not solve all of our school
problems of itself. Nevertheless, it is a step
in the right direction. 1t is the direction and
not the length of step which is important.
The state department Of education,
which supplies no small portion of the
necessary funds to keep our schools on a
going basis, believes it is wasteful to main
tain so many small high schools in the
county So do we.
So, in our opinion, do a majority Of the
people of the county-especially when it is
assured that their present schools will be
maintained for grade students and only
students of high school age are affected.
A few years ago such union with poor
roads existing would have been impossible.
But a good system of county and state
highways now exists which refutes any
argument that union in impracticable
through road conditions and a bus system
to transportation.
Union is step in the right direction.
Let us unite and then move from that point
on our school problems and any future loca-
tions of our high schools Good schools are
a basic question, matter Of first Importance
and affecting all citizens of the county.

Unite or Die

1t is the settled conviction of the Morgan
County Herald that the schools Of Morgan
county should be united into one district.
Editor Wilbur Matson said that two separate
districts, exempted and county, are surplus
age, as useless as the fifth wheel on wagon.
The arguments leading to this conclusion
seem to us as overwhelming.
Noble county is exactly in the same
situation as Morgan county and the argu-
ments being used for consolidation there
also exist in this community.
Until very recent years, consolidation
was subject almost taboo but it has now
been thrashed out in this community on
several occasions and from a public opinion
standpoint is now favored as the solution.
Here are some of the arguments being used
in Morgan county.
We believe that the sane solution of
the current problem is to keep the present
school buildings over the county for COM
munity service and for usage Of students up
to high school age. We are for union, solely
for purposes of students of high school age.
Better financing would thus be made
available for stronger and better schools
schools competitive in resources, teachers,
salaries, equipment and courses available
in step with the current advanced ideas Of
high school and college requirements.
Parents with families naturally deal in
the place where their children attend school.
The first thing parents seeking new home
inquire into is what of the opportunity for

Good Mail Service

POSTMASTER General Summerfield has
done more than hold up Congress for an
additional appropriation of millions of
dollars by crippling the mail service for
a few days. He has focused public attention
on the operation Of his department that has
emphasized its weaknesses to an extent that
should bring a great demand for the
Improvement of the postal system.
Mail delivery in Marietta has deteri
GRATED a lot in the past 20 or 25 years, as
older residents recall. There are fewer dis
tributions to residences and places of busi
ness than there were in that earlier time and
other services have slowed down in the
opinion of many people, although there has
been extension of the rural delivery service.
This is true throughout the country, it
is shown by wide criticism and complaint.
In the meantime the postOffice department
has operated with large deficits.
Other countries give more frequent
deliveries than does the United States, it is
shown by a, survey made by the New York
Times In Italy there are three deliveries a
day in large cities, two in smaller ones and
one in country districts. Spain has two
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1957-04-25

deliveries daily in larger cities on working
days and one on Sundays and holidays.
Paris, France, has three first-class deliveries
a day on Monday through Saturday, plus
special deliveries throughout the city's area.
These are examples of how the postal
service is conducted in most ma jor countries.
1t pays its way or makes a profit because
of lower wages and because it is operated
in conjunction with telephone and telegraph
services, something that is not wanted in
the United States.
In this country the people are getting
less mail service and paying more for it,
in postal rates and taxes. But the pressing
demand is for more efficiency, with more
deliveries and other improvements to speed
up mail handling. This will require first
class planning at the top and bringing the
organization up to date all along the line
The public is more interested in such
development than it is in the answer to the
question whether the service shall be paid
for by increasing postal rates or appropria-
ton of funds from the treasury which it
provides to meet the customary deficits of
the department" The Marietta Times

The Great Tax Monday


The experience which l shared
on Monday, April 18th with all
citizens in filing Form 1040 was
convincing argument that |
should continue to work for
economy in Government and to
press, with renewed vigor, my
belief that taxes should be re-
duced.
While on the subject of income
taxes. one of the most delightful
letters that | have had in recent
weeks came from gentleman
who had heard the rumor that
members of Congress completed
their tax forms just as anyone
else but that they were not re-
auired to send in a check with
the return. | must hasten to put
that rumor to rest. Members of
Congress pay income taxes and
should feel more pain about it
than anyone else since they are
responsible for the spending of
Government funds and for the
levying of taxes.
Bungles For Britain
While we Americans were
busy working on our income tax,
we received the news that Great
Britain has undertaken to cut
taxes. Also, we learned that
Great Britain is reducing the
size of her armed forces and
lowering her defense budget. /
am sure that Americans every
where congratulate a nation
which can do those two desirable
things, but we must remind our
selves that Great Britain's ability
to reduce her defense spending
will probably mean that the
United States will have to assume
the military burden if we wish
to meet the threat of Communist
expansion in Europe. AS a con-
sequence, the British Empire
may reduce taxes at the expense
of the United States.
This brings me to a resolution
which we considered on the floor
of the House last week which
would authorize the British Gov
ernment to postpone the payment
of interest on its tremendous
debt to US. In fact the postpone
ment was authorized for interest
and an inStallment of principal
for as many as seven years out
of the next A. The loan in ques-
ton here was that of December

the cruel ravageS Of initiation
to make inroadS into those
government bonds purchased
for Baby John, now a sturdy
fifteen-year-old high school
Junior. The nest-egg SO care
fully and wisely accumulated
by his thrifty parents, will not
purchase as much higher edu-
cation for him, due to the
shrunken and still-shrinking
purchasing power of the Amer
ican dollar.
That would seem to be rank
ingratitude to a mother who in
her letter demonstrated that
she possesses all the elements
that go to make up sound
AmericaniSm thrift, patrlO-
tism, gratitude, motherlove,
and last but not least, wisdom.
1t would also seem to be just
one more reason why the 85th
Congress has a duty to cut
drastically that $72 billion bud

tration. The faith in the in
tegrity of her adopted govern
ment must not be shattere'
further by a further shrink
age of the dollars purchasing
power due to excessive and
non-essential sp e n d ii n 6 at
Washington.
That would certainly be
shabby treatment as well to
the other millions of Amcri-
cans who have invested bill
lions of their savings in gov
ernment bonds. More power

than to invest it in defense
bonds. In this manner, he is
already doing his part as a
loyal citizen, and also provid-
ing for his future education"
M gnifi c ent, don't you
agree? That seems to be a
suitable word to describe the
viewpoint and action of this
adopted citizen, born in a
country with which we were
then at war. She had caught
the real spirit of America, and
in turn, America could justifi-
ably be proud TO number her
among its citizens.
Without doubt there are
countless thousands of other
naturalized Americans who
are just as loyal and apprecia-
tive as was this Italian born
mother. 1t behooves us, there
fore, TO be charitable and con-
siderate of all adopted citizens,
and especially if by accident of
birth. they originally came
from countries with which we
have engaged in armed com
bat. We are apt to find such
loyalty among them as to put
many native-born Americans
to shame.
Uncle Sam now fights a cold
war. Tremendous efforts are
being made and billions of dol
lars are being spent in the
hope of preventing its break
ing into a hot one-an atomic
war that military experts
gloomily predict would speed
lily result in the destruction of
civilization. And today as for

home to me again that America
must redouble its efforts to
prevent the tragedy of a World

said she always enjoyed health
until 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

source of pain almost at once and
costs but a few cents a day to
take. So don't go on suffering.

A bill looking to the discon-
tinuance of giving sales stamps
on purchases made in Ohio has
been introduced in the state
legislature. Such a law might
be pleasing to dishonest dealers,
but not to the purchasing public
and doubtless a heavy loss in
finances to the state.
One of the leading and most
prominent members of the Unit
ed States senate has said that
he was thoroughly convinced
that President EisenhoWer's ex-
tremely high budget would cause
great grief to the Republican
party but he never dreamed that
it would cause a family to fall
apart. This followed one of Ike's
brothers criticism.

WE MUST KEEP FAITH
BY George Peck

Just prior to a Christmas
during World War II, this
columnist played Santa Claus
by sending a check for mod
est amount to a tiny little one
year-old shaver born here in
America to Italian-born par
ents.
This is being written some
fifteen years late, not with any
idea of conveying the impress
sion that | am one of those
generous souls who goes
around scattering checks
hither and yon with great
abandon. 1t is being told be-
cause of the beautiful thing
that transpired as a result of
it, and, because of a duty it
involves.
The infants mother, who in
cidentally was a naturalized
American and, as you will see
as you read on, mighty good
one, gratefully acknowledged
my Christmas gift. Her letter
is pasted carefully in my
scrapbook as one of my most
cherished possessions. When
ever l become discouraged as
to where America is heading,
l get out the scrapbook and
re-read this letter. It is stout
medicine-an antidote for
dWindling courage and hope.
AS long as we have citizens
imbued with the spirit of this
foreign-born mother, America
somehow will survive the on
slaughter of both its external
and internal enemies,
In my humble estimation,
her letter is worthy to be plaC-
ed alongside Of Lincoln'S
Gettysburg address. l quote a
part of it:

John is old enough to under
stand, he will be most APP

So long as rain continues to

should be provided before snow

In accordance with an act of
the Ohio legislature the salaries
of the heads of the states de
partments are to remain as of
last January. This was the re-
cent request of Governor
ONeill.
A Cincinnati woman hurled
herself from a three-story Win
dow at her home and landed on
a concrete pavement, due to
domestic trouble between her
self and her husband. Luckily
she escaped with only a few
minor bruises and an injured
hand. Both were only slightly
intoxicated, it was said.
Before leaving for his vacation
in Georgia, President EisenhoW-
er authorized congress to cut
almost two million dollars from
the exceedingly high budget he
recently placed before that body.
