Gould it be, that Mr. Secrest is tiring
of Washington and his present membership
on the Federal Trade Commission? Noble
county gave our ex-congressnnan his start
ture. Could this be a kickoff for the willy
Senecaville solon as a candidate for con-

Time will supply the answer. One thing is

may be, he will know he is in a race"

District Statistics

actually know about ourselves.
The title 18th Congressional
District of Ohio" has been men,
toned many times in this col
umn. Most people realize that
it is made up of the seven coun-
ties of Guernsey, Monroe, Nor
gan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry
md Washington. At that point
Jur knowledge stops. 1t might
1e interesting to learn some Of
he vital statistics of our Con-
5ressional area. In terms of pop
Ilation it is the smallest of the
% Districts in Ohio, having, ac-
cording to the 1850 census,
226,341 persons.
If an actual count of the pop
ulation were taken today | am
sure that the number would still
oe the smallest of the Districts
in the state. OF the total popula-
ton $4,000 are city dWellers,
6l GOO live on farms, and $4,000
are non-farming suburbanites.
Looking at the population by age
groups, 1880 are under 81 years
and 28,356 are IS years old and
over.
Again resorting to 1850 figures,
there were nearly $1,000 oc-
cupled dwelling units in the
seven counties of which 70%
were occupied by the owners.
House building has been booming
since 1850 so that there are
great many mere homes today.
Using the more recent figures
OF 1854, we learn that the district
had 80 manufacturing establish
mentS, 227 wholesale trade estab-
lishments, 2,637 retail trade
establishments and 1925 farms.
Too Old"
Turning our attention to those
persons in the older age groups,
| have noticed that each year |
am receiving more letters from
persons in this classification ad-
Vlsing me of the difficulty that
they are experiencing in finding
employment. This is especially
true after some adversity has
caused them to lose their form
cr employment. | believe the
problem is going to become more
critical unless we direct CON
ccrted effort toward the employ
ment of this older group of
citizens.
A measure of relief is received
from unemployment compensa-
ion, but this is temporary assis-
.ance and does not solve the
rOblem of the person who is
chemically unemployed because
of age. The answer is job and {
new attitude toward employ
nent Of older persons, an at
.itude similar to that observed in
the employment of the handi
capped Social Security is not
he answer because it does not
apply to persons seeking employ
Inent. Social Security is intended
to supplement private retirement
plans for those no longer in the
market for job,
incidentally it might be of in
terest to learn that the 18th Dis
trict has 17,245 recipients of
benefits from the social security
administration, who receive a
otal monthly payment of $780,
924. These figures for December
1856 were furnished me by the
GAINESVILLE office of the Social
Security Administration

Higher Taxes

Taxes higher than the law allows
That's the unpleasant prospect ahead
for the United States taxpayers as it has
been discovered that for the first time in
its history, the vast Social Security system
this year probably will dole out more in
benefits than its collects in payroll taxes.
Primary reason for this admitted con-
dition on the part of government officials

In several Ohio counties there
are said to be some farmers who
are possessed of two sets of poul
try. One set of hens work during
! the daytime and the o'her at

reports a great increase in egg
production of late. Noble county
farmers might give the expert
ment a trial. This story reminds
Us of one once told Of a certain
local farmer alleged to have
| crossed lightning bugs with his
honeybees that greater produc-
ton of honey would be produced.

At the present time there is
much speculation as to where
the new location of u. S. Route
q will be in this area. 1t is
known that the route is to be
enlarged to four lanes, and in
this immediate vicinity there
seems to be only one feasible
location in bypassing Caldwell
and that is starting at the west
side of the electric plant it would
continue southwark through the
gap" at the extreme western
edge of Caldwell and on to con-
meet with the recently construct
ed section from south of town

known that it would eventually
become a four-lane route. In ali

Olive Green

In the long, long ago the ham
let of Olive Green gave some
prospect of at some future time
becoming a prominent point of
interest in its locality but in
later years failed to do so. It was
at that time surrounded, as it is
today, by land of extreme fer
tllity, SO much that Jacob SWank
erected a large FIGURING mill and
fully equipped it with the la est
machinery of that time. This mill
he operated for many years, until
it finally met its fate in its des-
truction by the fire demon; and
it was never rebuilt.
The hamlet boasted of one gem
eral store, surrounded by a num-
ber of residences and for many
later years it prided itself with
a government postoffice until
displaced by rural free mail
delivery. In the nearby COM
munity T. w. (Temp) Patterson,
now a resident of Caldwell,
established a planning mill and
lumber yard, which he operated
for many years until his removal
to this place.

During the tremendous recep-
ton accorded Queen Elizabeth
on the Stree's Of New York City
on Monday of last week a little
incident occurred that brought
a lasting broad smile to her
beautiful and attractive face. AS
the car in which she was seated
passed a given point the voice
from an aged enthusiastic gentle
man blurted out: "Howdy, Liz"
The smile was still seen as the
car passed from sight. The queer
well knew that greeting came
from one possessed with the true
American spirit and she ap.
preciated it.

Mighty little, if any, i'll affects
occur from CaldWelps present
sewage system. During the past
many years CaldWell's heal 'hy
condition has been as good as
might be expected of any village
near its size. It's water system is
of strict purity, its residence sur
roundings are kept in a neat and
tidy condition, its streets are
kept clean, except for possible
light dust, hence there should be
no reason for changing it. Voters
should keep this in mind when
they have a bond issue ballot
