Dewey Strong in New York
Former Gov. Dewey remains
a powerful figure in New York
Republican politics. 1t is ex-
pected he will have considerable
influence on the selection of a
gubernatorial candidate. Fur
ther, Mr.. Dewey, who is an
ardent believer in President
Eisenhower. will in all likeli-
hood have a strong voice when
it comes to the support of a
candidate by the New York de-
legation at the Republican
National Convention in 1860.
Mr.. Dewey's influence doubtless
will be exerted in favor of an
Eisenhower Republican candi-
date. The former New York
Governor has again and again
gone to the mat in brilliant
speeches in support of the
President and his program.
A week ago. addressing the
annual dinner of the New York
Republican State Committee.
Mr.. Dewey ridiculed the Dem
ocratic attack made on the
Eisenhower administration. At
the same time. by inference
at least, he told the Republic
can critics of the Eisenhower
budget and program that they
had better get in line. The
trouble with the Democratic
critics, Mr.. Dewey said, is that
they can't forget their own
failures. They are obSesSed
with wars. deficits, and infla-
ton. So they talk about these
tragedies. whether they exist
or not. They don't even rec
ognize the United States when
it is at peace, when it is
prosperous, and when it has
balanced budget. Back in
1914. Franklin Roosevelt said
in a speech that one should
never mention a rope in the
house of a man who had been
hanged. The Democrats ought
to follow his advice. They
should never-no. never-be

Power Of Auto Is
Discussed In New
Library Addition

On the day this was written. a
fatal automobile accident occurred
on the streets of small town. Did
carelesSness and lack of knowledge
of what a car will do bring this
about? Who knows?
Sure you are a good driver, no
thing like this could happen to
you. But are you good enough to
pilot a two-ton projectile at a
speed of SO feet a second. That is
the traffic rate on our super high
ways.
Do you know what your car
can do and cannot do?
Do you know how good your Wis
ion really is?
Do you know how to drive
ahead" of your car?
Do you know how to combat
highway hypnosis?
Lack of such knowledge causes
accidents! A new book in the West
jefferson Public Library II Drive
The Turnpikes and Survive" by
Paul Kearney discusses these ques-
tons most helpfully. This book
may be vital to your safety. 1t is
with the hope that you will use it
that it is being placed in circula-
ton.

CircIeviIIe Mayor Says Need For
0ff-Street Parking Still Exists

: Stream flow in the central part
of the state held flow in the Scioto
up to 272% of normal, about the
same as last month. Accumulated
runoff for the water year to date
is still about one and one half
inch below normal. All water stor-
age reservoirs are at or near ca
pacity and at about the same lev
els as at this time last year.
The report reveals that on the
whole the ground water situation
is about average for this time of
year. The prospect of critically
low levels which seemed immin-
ent earlier has largely been elm
mated by recharge in the last two
months. Local differences in rain
fall and type of aquifer at the var
ious index wells produced a var
iety of water level reactions dur
ing the month. Mean levels in
eight of twelve wells were higher
than last month. Changes either
above or below last month were
not great, however, except Mont
gomery County. A high percentage
of the May rainfall was intercept
ed by rapidly growing vegetation
precluding any very great amount
of direct percolation. Nine of the
twelve index wells show mean lev
els this month very near mean
May levels in the base comparison
period, the average difference be-
ing 3 of a foot

Rain Fell Twenty
Days In May, Says
Water Division

COLUMBUS, OHIO-The Ohio
Division of Water reports that
Ohio had rainfall somewhere in the
state on twenty days during the
month of May and on eight of
these days the rainfall was general
all over the State On twelve DAYS
local thunderstorms produced rain
somewhere in the State.
AS result of the preponderance
of local thunderstorms the total
rainfall in different parts of the
State for the month varied greatly.
Dayton reported 7.76 while To-
ledo reported only 2.19. Toledo,
Youngstown, Akron, and Chilli
cothe all received below normal
rainfall. Cleveland, Columbus,
Dayton, and Cincinnati received
above normal rainfall. The high
number of days on which some
rain fell has held soil moisture at
a high level, so high that in many
places farmers have been unable
to plant spring crops, the report
reveals.

Ohio's fairs are in state of

CIRCLEVILLE, OHIO - Mayor
Robert E. Hedges has voiced be-
lief that Circleville will always
have need of good off-street park
ing lots, regardless of any changes
brought about by the Rt. % bypass.
Completion of the bypass is ex-
pected later this summer. 1t will
take Rt. % off heavily-traveled
Court ST., the city's main north
south artery, and loop the highway
around the western edge of the
community.
The mayor said:
We may have to educate the
public little bit on the advantages
of off-street parking, but that's
true in any community. And I feel
sure the bypass isn't going to make
enough difference to eliminate the
need of parking lots"
What effect the bypass will have
on local business was one of the
main subjects in long controversy
that resulted when the bypass was
first proposed by the state.
City Council at its latest meeting
agreed to lease two new ff-Street
parking lots in the downtown Sec
ton, one located west and the other
a short distance east of Court st.
The two lots as now planned will
handle nearly 100 cars.
Local Business leaders have
organized two cooperating groups
to synchronize work on the lots.
The city's actual role in their op-
GRAFTON will not begin until they
are constructed and ready to re-
ceive their first customers.
The parking lots proposal was
launched by the Chamber of Com
mehce more than a year ago to
ease fears that downtown stores
were losing business because of in
adequate parking room. Plans be-
came Snarled in council, however,
and lay virtually stalled for many
until the recent proposal to
have the city lease the lots when
they are ready for use.
Some sources, cool to the off
street parking lots proposal, claim
the bypass will drain off so much
of Circlevilles's traffic flow that
there will be plenty of parking
room for everybody"
