Local Officials
want To Know"
About Ready Cash

COLUMBUS - State Auditor
James A. Rhodes reports that he
is receiving inquiries by mail and
telephone from local officials in all
parts of the state who want to
know what they may expect be-
tween now and the end of the year
in street and highway funds.
Some report that their street
funds are practically used up as a
result of the summer maintenance
program. They have no money to
meet the next payroll. They want
TO know how soon help will come
from the state.
Two distributions of gasoline tax
funds to cities and villages are
scheduled for October and Deem
Der, with the October distribution
to be made this week. Each distri-
button will amount to approximate
ly So, 100000, Rhodes said.
Monthly distributions of gasoline
tax money to counties and town.
ships will be made in October, No
vember and December. These
monthly distributions are usually
$1,000 or $4,000 for each county,
depending on the amount of the
gas tax collection, and S400 or
$500 monthly for each township
A distribution of approximately
S23 million in motor vehicle license
money to cities, villages, counties
and townships is also in sight for
the first half of October.
Rhodes has relayed to the Bu-
reau of Motor Vehicles the distress
calls from some cities, and the Bu-
reau is rushing to have the vouch-
er ready this week for the distribu-
ton of the auto license money.
We'll start writing the checks
as soon as we receive the voucher" /"
Rhodes promised.

Better Breakfast
Helps Child For
Busy School Days

COLUMBUS-Teaching children
what foods make up a good break
fast and why they need such
meal to start the day helps but
doesn't insure that they all get an
adequate meal, the Pennsylvania
Experiment station reports as
result of an educational program
with 1,187 grade-schoolers in one
Pennsylvania town.
According to Ohio State Univer-
sity extension nutritionist, Pauline
Gruner, studies conducted by the
Ohio Agricultural experiment sta
ton also support the fact that diets
of Ohio school children do not in
clude the essential foods for break
fast needed for growth, health and
normal activity.
All these children in the Pennsyl-
vania study were taught over a
period of 5 weeks the foods they
need for a good breakfast and
what the foods do for them. At
school they saw how white rats
grew, or didn't grow, when given
food typical of good, fair and poor
breakfasts.
At the end of the breakfast ed
ucation program, Sc percent of the
grade school boys and girls could
select a good breakfast menu on
paper. Yet only 40 percent of them
had eaten a good breakfast on the
day of the survey.
The children reported having
milk and cereal products for
breakfast to about the same extent
as they listed these on paper as
good breakfast foods. But rela-
lively small proportion reported
eating such foods as eggs, meat,
fish, fruits and juices, although
they also listed these on paper.
Significant are the children's
own explanations for not eating
the kind of breakfast they chose
on paper: mo appetite, ATE
what was there" Foods not
there" TOO little time" Had to
prepare food myself" The children
gave other suggestions that might

THE sENWEEKLY MADISON COUNTY DEMOCRAT. LONDON OHIO
Runway Plan Is
Studied For Air
Field In Clark

SPRINGFIELD - The head OF
the Air National Guard in Ohio
"feels fairly sure" that the main
runway at Springfields Municipal
Airport will be extended a thous-
and feet by the federal govern
ment.
Brig. Gen. Edsel Clark, assist.
ant state adjutant general, said
the Army Corps of Engineers has
been authorized to prepare plans
and specifications for the proposed
extension as well as for construc-
ton of blast pad" and installa-
ton of runway barrier.
IT doubt the study would have
been authorized if there wasn't
the intent to go through with the
projects" Gen. Clark said.
| He added, though, that the prof.
ects still must get financing ap
proval after the plans are prepar-
ed.
Another projecI at the airport
that may be studied at the same,
tine, he said, is expansion of the
ramp where Air Guard planes are
parked. He indicated this project
probably is close to reality, too.
The reason for extending the
main runway at the airport is the
imminent use here of faster jets
by the Air Guard. F-S4F Thunder
streaks-swept-wing fighters with
supersonic capabilities-are to re-
place F-84E Thunderjets within
few weeks.
Until the runWays are extend
ed, the Thunderstreaks will take
off with light fuel loads and land
with drag "chutes," Capt. Law
renee A. Kuhl, base commander
here, said.
Gen. Clark said the "blast pad"
would be built near the northeast
end. The concrete, 150-foot square
area would absorb the soaring
blast of jet engines as they are run
up prior to takeoff.

A dog can be very expensive,
and by that we don't mean the
price of dog food!
There was man who owned a
dog which had an unfortunate
tendency to chase cars down the
street.
One day the dog ran into the
path of an automobile. The driver
swerved to avoid hitting the dog.
He hit the dog anyway, then lost
control of the car and crashed into
a tree.
The car was destroyed and the
driver injured. In law suit that
followed, the jury awarded the
driver $500 damages against the
owner of the dog.
The law of this state makes the
owner or keeper of dog liable for
any damage or injury caused to
the person or property of another,
with the exception of trespassers
and tormentors of the dog.
Your dog, or the dog you are
keeping for your friends or rela-
tives, may cost you a small for
tune. Your legal responsibility for
injuries and damages caused by
such dog, is absolute. The old
rule, that every dog is entitled to
one bite" has been abolished in
Ohio by statutory enactment.
It is the conduct of the dog
which imposes liability. In other
words, you keep a dog at your
peril, and the fact that the injur-
les were inflicted while the dog
was on your own premises does
not excuse you.
Damages may be assessed again.
st you in two ways. You are liable
for actual or compensatory dam
ages in every instance of injury or
damage but you may be assessed
additional damages known as
punitive damages" if it is proved
that you had knowledge of the
dogs vicious habits.
The liability arising out of keep
ing or owning a dog is not limited
to dog bites, as we have seen.
Still another example of the alb
solute liability of a dog owner is
illustrated by the following Incl
dent. Mrs. Jones had stepped out
of the grocery store carrying a
basket Of groceries in one hand
and leading her small dog by a
leash with her other hand.
Mr.. Brown, who was across the
street walking his dog, accidental
ly permitted his dog to break
loose from him and his dog there
upon attacked the Jones dog and
forced him down. Seeing what had
happened, Mr.. Brown ran up to the
scene and while attempting to part
the fighting dogs was bitten on the
hand by the Jones dog.
A jury awarded him damages
against Mrs. Jones in the sum of
S420. The fact that it was Browns
dog that started the fight did not
excuse Mrs. Jones of her legal re-

homemakers Told
To Be Grateful
For Opportunity

COLUMBUS - 1t is challenge
to all farm women to be grateful
for opportunities and not take life
for granted, Mrs. Serena Vassady,
author and lecturer from Lancas-
ter, Pa, told homemakers attend
ing a recent National Home Dem
onstration Council meeting in Co.
lumbus.
Mrs. Vassady related her expert
ences in Hungary during World
War II. She stated that bread
and water were symbols of life.
After m any weeks without a
crumb of bread we secured one
loaf of dark bread. Our family
was afraid to eat the bread for
fear it wasn't real Our eyes filled
with tears just looking at it. We
received a small bowl of water
every day for our family cooking
and washing"
During World War II, we had
just built a new home in Hungary
when the Russians marched into
our country and destroyed our
home. We had to flee to Budapest
with our three children" said Mrs
Vassady, a native Hungarian who
came to this country with her hus.
band about ten years ago.
She urged farm homemakers tt
seriously consider life as an enor.
nous opportunity. THE import.
ant thing is how we live it," she
commented.

Vets Questions
And The Answers

Q-I was told that the War Or
phanS education program allows
up to S110 month for handicap
ped young people who need special
restorative training. Sometimes
this training is expensive. Is there
any way the allowance could be
increased?
Ayes. If speciaI restorative
training costs more than S35 a
month, VA may step up its month
ly allowance accordingly. How
ever, these excess payments would
cause a reduction in the length of
time a War Orphan student could
train.
Q-I have been totally and per-
manently disabled for more than
half a year, and I just applied for
a waiver of premiums on my CT
insurance policy. Will the waiver
become effective retroactively, to
the date 1 first became totally dis
abled?
A-No. The waiver will become
effective six months after your
total disability commenced.
Q-I have to sell my house and
move to another climate that will
be more beneficial to my health.
/ understand that under these con-
ditions may get my CT home loan
rights restored. What kind of evil
dence does VA require to approve
restoration
Ava will want a statement
from a reputable physician con-
firming that the change in climate
is essential to your health.
Q-I think I am taking the
wrong course Of training under the
Korean CT Bill. Before making any
one and only change of course,
could I receive VAS vocational
counseling to help me get on the
right track?
A-YeS. In filling out the appli-
cation for a change of course, in
dicate on the form that you want
vocational counseling. An appoint
ment will be scheduled for you.
