less we change our ways, we
will see "a depression that will
curl your hair" he said: mine
has already been curled once"
This sally was greeted with a
roar of laughter by the as
sembled luncheon guests.
The burden of our 83-year-
old ex-President's talk was
that governments (Federal,
State and local) are contribut-
ing in large degree to the in
flationary spiral. He decried
the operations of the pressure
groups who, through their re-
gistered lobbyists at Washing
ton, are working day and night
to get what they call theirs"
He urged his luncheon audi
ence and the millions listen
ing to him over a nationwide
radio hook-up, to examine
themselves as to whether they
belonged to any pressure group
asking for Federal spending,
if they valued their own
safety and further peace Of

The Federal Government is
engaged in a multitude of
business enterprises in COM

AS whole they pay micros-
copic taxes--either Federal,
State or local; a few of them
pay interest on government
capital and still fewer amortize

Yes, we repeat people are funny.
This must be especially true OF Noble
county, judging from the mass hysteria
which developed here last week when
Junior high school girl was stricken with
the contagious type of meningitis
When it became generally known Fri
day afternoon that 16-year-old Anna Mae
Lichwarcik, junior in the local high school,
was i'll with an epidemic-type meningitis,
the rush was on and panic spread among
the children and the parents.
The doctors offices in Caldwell were
flooded with telephone calls, their offices
were filled and they were dispensing the
drug, sulphadiaz<1e, which is used as
preventive, as quickly as possible.
Although the grade school operetta was
held Friday evening, there were Is parents
who did not send their children to the
presentation, even though they were mem
bers of the cast
The annual sweetheart dance which had
been scheduled for Saturday evening at the
local high school was cancelled.
The contagious type of meningitis is
very serious but it is understood that in the
case of the Lichwarcik girl, there has been
no paralysis noted.
All of this brings us to the statement
that people in Noble county are funny.
Why should they, as community, COM
posed of these very parents who acted SO
quickly and with alarm last Friday after
noon, drag it's feet in the matter of admin

Herbert Hoover HonOred
BY George Peck

On February 4, President
Eisenhower presented ex-
President Hoover with q cita-
ton honoring his service as
Chairman of two Federal Gov
ernment Reorganization Com
mittees. This took place at
Washington, d. c., at a Third
National Reorganization Con-
ference luncheon, which Mr..
Hoover addressed, taking as his
subject. Initiation, Spending,
Taxes and Some Reforms"
This gesture on the part of
our present President to a
former President met with the
approval of the many millions
Of Americans who NOW rea-
liZe the numberous and varied
services that our greatest liv-
ing American has rendered to
America and to the world at
large. This columnist joins the
host of his fellow-Americans
in expressing gratitude to a
great former President, a
great American and world
citizen.
Mr.. Hoover had a harassing
and sad four years in the White
House. Through no fault of
his, fate decreed that there
should be a worldwide econ
omic collapse while he was at
the nations helm. He was the
target of undeserved calumny
and abuse by a vast segment
of Americas citizenry, even
including many of his own
political party. The quarter
century that has elapsed since
Mr.. Hoover departed the Ma
tion's Capitol, has brought
about change of heart and
attitude toward "The Chief"
(as he is known to his friends.) }
1t is good to know that Mr..
Hoover can now look back to
a sad experience without ram
cour--that he can even quip
about it. During the course OF

Some headWay is being made
on getting rid of them, but
there is still long way to CO."
Earlier in his speech, ''The
Chief" had said: Let me re-
peat what I have said many
times over the years. The Fed
eral Government should un-
dertake and only undertake,
competitive business and pub
lie improvements which cam
not be otherwise attained by
the people or their local gov
ernments. There are less of
them than some pressure
groups would have you think"
Mr.. Hoover closed on a note
of optimism regarding the re-
Communications made by the
Commission that bears his hon
ored name. "We are making
progress" he said. And may
/ add that so far as our inter-
nal economic forces are con-
cerned, / have no fear of a
serious depression--if we can
stop the march of initiation"

rules Of deducting charitable
contributions on individual in
come tax returns for 1856.
To deduct contributions, you
must itemize your deductions on
page 2 of Form 1040. You can

able, educational, scientific, or

izations for the prevention of
cruelty to children or animals, SO

which you contribute is not oper-
ated for personal profit and does
not carry on propaganda or
otherwise attempt to influence
legislation.
Gifts to veterans organiZa-
tons, or to governmental agen-
cies are deductible if used for
public purposes. So also are gifts
to fraternal organizations if used
for charitable, religious, or other
purposes listed above. But keep

that actual building would get under way

Over and above the bond issue of

additional sum of $150000, with the total
project to cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000 or slightly less.

State Executives Will Be Busy Seeking
Presidential Winner at Conference

The annual Governors Con-
ference which this year takes
place amid the historic splen-
doris of Williamsburg. Va, is
strictly a tub-thumping opera
ton.
1t has a schedule Of meet
ingS and forums at which the
weighty problems of State
government are duly set forth
for discussion. To these ses-
sions nobody pays the slightest
attention. although the Gov
errors go through a pro lorna
attendance designed to re-
assure any petty.minded State
auditors that real business is
being transacted.
What actually happens
bears a close resemblance to
Churchill Downs in the early
morning hours when the
handlers bring out the horses
for limbering and stretching,
for trial heats and show pur-
poses. The Governors do their
stuff and the press, national
and Washington. makes up the
form sheets and prepares its
presidential winter book.

According to the Egyptian

that he regretted the tension be-

as replying that he was care

What the political trade
never forgets is that Demo-
Gratis have never in their 100
odd years as a party nomi-
mated a Senator, but turn
regularly to Governors, and
that the trend is much the
same among Republicans.
Governors often become Sena-
tors. a fact Of interest to the
Washington reporters who are
naturally eager to keep their
pipelines into that glorious
club both ample and we'll
oiled.
This latter circumstance &C

hope for the big prize. That

terms. But there is a check by
the people.
Criticism of the Supreme
Court is mounting. Unfor-
tunately, it is a criticism that
attributes political or ideo-
logical motives to the justices.
Many Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, moreover. are blaming
President Eisenhower for the
peculiar attitude Chief Justice
Warren has taken since being
on the high court. why was
Warren ever appointed?" is
asked repeatedly in political
circles. He was known as q
middle-of-the-r o a der for
many years. Eisenhower,
however. is reported to be as
much surprised as the gen.
eral public that Warren has
become enamored Of the
Douglas-Black philosophy and
consistently follows the rad
ical line without the slight
est show of independence.
Justice Black wrote extern
sively on the rights of con-
greSSional investigating COM
mittees when he was a United
States Senator. and so did
Justice Frankfurter before he
came to the court. They both
thought investigating COM
mittees shouldn't be restricted
in gathering information and
in browbeating recalcitrant
witnesses. They wrote approx
ingly of the harasSment of
the businessmen of those days.
But when the harassment now
turns to persons who have
had past associations" with
Communists and who conceal
their connections, both JUS
tees Frankfurter and Black
seem to become champions of
the very individual rights
which they once urged should
be denied as businessmen
sought to exercise them
against the witch-hunting and
fishing expeditions Of con-
gressional committees.
So. since it is all so OBJ
viously political. there are
many persons here in Con-
gress who are coming reluc-
family to the conclusion that
election of judges for fixed
terms. with the right to run
for reelection, is the only
way out Of the political
dilemma which the present
court has created by its 'legis-
lative" decisions.
