the traffic laws of his state he
will know exactly what to do at
all times. Such conditions would
avert many, many fatal accidents
and loss of lives.
Who or what is it that is the
instigator of the effort to have
Daylight Saving Time adopted
here in Caldwell? Come on; out
with it. The legal time in the
state of Ohio is Eastern Standard
Time, and there is no getting
around that fact. Until the state
legislature repeals it and adopts
another it will remain so. See
my communication to the Jour
nails Mail Bag" in this weeks
issue.
The result of the special sena-
torial election in Texas on Tues
day of this week will determine
whether the organization of the
United States senate will remain
in the control of the Democrats
or will be turned over to the
Republicans. AS it is, the Demo-
Gratis have 40 and the Republi-
cans 48 members. The election
of Republican in that state
would tie the vote with the vice
president casting the one giving
the Republicans control and pow
er of reorganization.
The Democratic national senate
has refused to cut the tax on
small industries and small busi-
ness. The vote was overwhelm-
ing in that direction, for which
the Democratic majority will
have to answer at the election
in 1858. No doubt but what Sen
ator Lausche, of Ohio, voted
along with the majority, and
how do you Noble county Re-
publicans who voted for Lausche
as against Bender at the election
last year like the way he al
legedly voted on the proposed
tax cut?
Kelvin Carroll, aged 81 years,
and another American and two
natives were ambushed by a
gang of bandits and killed in
Iran, a small africa country, two
weeks ago and the wife of the
former, aged 35 years, was kid
naped and carried away. Her
dead body was found last Sat-
urday in a mountain ravine. She
had been shot and stabbed to
death within ten miles of where
the murders were committed.
More than a thousand Trans
were searching for the body be-
fore it was found. This was the
most heathenish crime in the
worlds history.
1t matters not to this writer
whether we are, in this area,
sailing under Sun, Eastern
Standard or Daylight Saving
Time; he has only the best in
terest of the general public at
heart nothing more. He retired
from the newspaper business
eleven years ago and thereby
could have no personal reason
for being opposed to the adop-
ton of daylight saving time
here. After considerable investi-
cation and observation my
friendly and kindly advice to the
members of the Caldwell village
council would be to drop the
whole matter without further
delay.
President Eisenhower spent the
latter part of last week at his
farm home near Gettysburg, Pa,
the trip being made by auto
mobile. The car was driven by
a member of the secret service
and is said to have been travel
ing at the rate of seventy miles
per hour, fifteen miles more than
the law permits. The car was
trailed by three cars containing
newspapermen and all were stop
ped by state highway patrol
man after the presidential car
had gone on. 1t is said that Ike
enjoys fast riding, but in this
instance a bad example was set
before other drivers throughout
the nation. Fortunately no ac-
cident happened along the en-
tire trip but such might occur
red as the danger lurked nearby.
The affair caused a great uproar
through newspapers and over
the radio and television during
several days following the
incident.
