Robert Settler, financial editor of the
Cleveland Press, has written the following
editorial on the rapid growth of the gas
industry, which is Of Importance to the resi-
dents of Noble county and this area. 1t is
as follows:
By 1865 the gas industry's gross plant
value will reach 30.4 billion dollars about
double the present figure, and the industry
will be doing a business of nearly II billion
dollars year and gas will be used to heat
at least 10 million more homes than today.
These predictions are contained in a
booklet, "Why | Invested in the Gas Indus
try" written by Don Herold, magazine
writer, and published by the American Gas
Assn.
American investors have "bet" about II
billion dollars on the gas industry, which is
expanding at a rapid rate. Its construction
expenditures total nearly two billion dollars
annually-twice as great as the average rate
in the past decade All types of gas mains,
for example, are expected to be increased
to 10000 miles by 1865.
Herold notes that the supply of natural
gas is as encouraging as the demand. He
said it is estimated that there are gas
reserves underground now to last at least
ITO years at the current rate of use. And new
reserves are being discovered faster than
"old" gas is being used.
Today three out of four Americans
depend on gas service. But the American
Gas Assn forecasts that between 1855 and
1875 nearly 300 million gas appliances can
be sold-three times the number now in use.
Investment per employee in the gas
industry is about $4,000, about five times
the average in most industries.
The gas industry asks for no subsidies,

but paid, in 1856, for example, 763 million
dollars in taxes, and 285 million of this went
to state and local governments, Herold
pointed out.
Today gas is serving 38 million GUS
toners with nearly 100 million gas appli-
ances and doing an annual business exceed
ing four billion dollars.
Greatest growth of gas has been since
World War II, and it now is the fifth indus
try in plant investment.
"rve invested in gas" said Herold, "be-
cause | think it has the most youthful vigor
and the most exciting future of any industry
in the American scene"
While the cost of living has advanced
98% since 1910, natural gas has advanced
only 1870, said Herold.
The business has plant facilities of more
than II billion dollars, contrasted with five
billion in 1945. It's assets have nearly trippled
in the last decade and are growing at the
rate of more than 1.8 billion year.
It adds about million new customers
a year and gas sales regularly increase nearly
1919 a year.
1t is practically completely investor
owned, with 94f6 of the nations gas custom
ers supplied by private industry.
There are $4,000 known uses for gas in
industry
Since 1925 the American Gas Assn. has
maintained non-profit appliance testing
laboratories in Cleveland and Los Angeles
Here more than 5000 representative models
Of various appliances are 'given the works
each year for safety, dependability and
performance.
New developments in gas-using equip.
ment also are spear-headed here in research
activities.

"Peace On Earth, Good
Will Toward Men"
BY Willis f. Stone

So we come again to Christ
mas. This is not merely a sea-
son of the year, but the heart
warming remembrance of the
birth of Christ Child.
In the Is h and 14th verses
of the End Chapter of the Cos
pei according to St. Luke, is
told the story of the birth of
the Savior of Mankind:
"And suddenly there was
with the angel a multi ude of
the heavenly host pra.sing
God, and saying, Glory to
Gcd in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward
men,
Remembrance of His birth is
clearer and dearer to the heart
of mankind today than it was
nineteen hundred years ago
when the miracle Of the Ma
tivity was still new.
Perhaps it is the anguish

turies which have brought us
a greater unders' anding. not
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1957-12-26

Progress from the ancient to
the modern has KEEP pace with
the acceptance Of the true
meaning Of Christ's teachings
that we are al created in the
mag of God; that we are all
equal in His sight; that we
mus, therefore, be equal in
the eyes of the law, if the law
is just; that mankind holds
dominion over the earth and
all that is in it, but that no
man shall have dominion over
another; that through a Soc
iety of mutual love, under
standing and respect we can
attain peace on Earth, Good
Toward Men"
We are, unfortunately, still
far from this ideal. Tyrants,
who declare themselves the
masters of men, are still pre-
tending to achieve peace
through force of arms and
establish good will through
bribery, corruption and COM
pulsion. Treaties and pacts are
made, presumably to keep the
peace, but actually to hold the
balance of power.
History records an endless
variety of Alliances between
Nations, Leagues of Nations,
and even United Nations, each
built to defend the power of
those who pretend they are
rulers of men," and to destroy
those who contest their rule.
These vain things are done in
the name of peace-but there
is no peace.
Have we not learned through
these thousands of years of
strife and agony that tyrants
have failed to make peace?
Must we forever seek the
thrones of power to plead for
peace and justice?
Or shall we accept the
Divine condition of equality
one with another, and gather
at the Manger to find love and
peace at last?
If we could but maintain the
warm compassion and human
understanding which is ours
this Christmas season we could
soon abolish hate, greed and
force. We would replace these
with the Christmas spirit o1
service to others-the one anc
only sure way to Peace or
Earth, Good VIII Towart

A new survey of business, just made
public, shows that retail activity in Noble
county was at high level right through
the first half of this year.
Personal expenditures, stimulated by
high earnings and growth in population,
advanced to a record Prices rises accounted
for part of it.
The report issued by the Standard Rate
and Data Service, is based on data gathered
from Federal, state and local sources 1t
assays the economic strength of each section
of the country for the twelve months ending
July l, 1857, in the light of the volume of
retail business done. 1t is the first such
study covering that period.
In Noble county, it shows, the gross
business in the local retail stores aggregated
$10064,000 in the year. 1t exceeded the
$9,946,000 mark set in the previous year.
Advances were made in most categories
of retail trade a notable exception being
automobiles Had business continued for the
remainder of the year at the same pace, new
highs would have been established for the
calendar year. Just how much the recent
drop has cut into these gains will not be
known for some months

King Herod, defending the
tyranny and despotisn of his
kind, attempted to prevent our
Christian civiliza ion by G2S-
troying the Child.
Herod proceeded to have his
minions slay all the children
from two years old and under,
that were in Bethlehem and its
environs. Jesus was saved be-
cause his parents, having been
warned by God, took Him to
Egypt. 1t was not un'il Herod

Tyrants have always used

Retail Sales Ahead

The sales activity reflected continued
consumer spending, made possible by high
employment and earnings
Net income in Noble county, for it's
estimated $500 families, reached a grand
total of $l3,234,0 900 after taxes, according to
the SRDS survey. This compared favorably
with the income in the prior year, $l2,-
$4,000.
Apportioned equally among the local
population, it amounted to a net spending
capacity of $1,000 per family.
This buying power was quickly trans
lated into bigger purchasing in most local
retail stores.
More recently there has been business
let-down and some of the zip has dis
appeared. Consumer spending, while still
high, has not continued at the same pace,
A watch and wait attitude has entered the
picture.
Not until the latter part of 1858, say
the economists, will conditions again COM
bine to cause a resumption of the Upward
climb of recent years Meanwhile, business
will mark time, they say, but on a high
plateau.

INCOME TAX FACTS
FOR NOBLE COUNTIANs

This is the last in series
of four articles on federal in
come taxes. The articles are
based on information provided
by the American Institute of
Public Accountants and the
Ohio Society of Certified Pub
lie Accountants.
AS you check over the list of
people you intend to claim as
dependents on your 1857 tax re-
turn, keep this phrase in mind:
more than one-half support.
This is the test of dependency.
Unless the money you have con-
tributed during the year is en-
ough to make up more than
one-half of a dependents living
costs, you might as we'll cross
that person off your list. He or
she will not qualify as depen-
dent for tax purposes-and you
will lose a valuable $500 exempL
tion on your 1857 return.
Taxpayers with children who
work part-time or during the
summer should watch this angle
closely. It's not how much your
child earns during the year -
It's how much he contributes tc
his own support. The law specifi.
cally states: parent may claim
an exemption for a child, step
child or adopted child under 1s
years Of age, no matter how
much he earned, provided the
child depended on the parent fol-
more than one-half of his sup,
port.
Bank Child's Earnings
Here is an important point tt
remember when you are trying
to decide whether you have con
tributed the necessary amount
the money a youngster banks ol
| invests is not considered to be ;
contribution to his own supper
costs. Check carefully to see how
much of your child's earning
has gone for his support. You
may find that it will save al
exemption on the family return
| if you have him bank his earn
jingS for the rest of the year.
| A child 19 or over may not b'
| claimed as a dependent unles
/ he is attending school on a full
time basis or earning less thai
| $500 a year. The 5000 earning
maximum does not apply to stu
dents. You may claim a depen
dency exemption for a student
regardless of total income, S
long as you fulfill the supper
test requirement.
Supporting Relative
If you have helped support
relative during the year, max
sure that what you have cor
tributed is enough to permit yo
to claim an. exemption for thi
dependent. For example, yo
may have paid approximate
$3.50 for your mothers 81, AT

There are now far more than
