School Consolidation

Something must be done. 1t has already
been proven in other parts of the state that
consolidation is the only answer and as such,
the proposal for the seven school districts in
volved should receive the approval of all
voters.
It is the only answer to the school prob
lens as they exist in Noble county today.
Creation of the newly proposed seven
school district for Noble county should re-
ceive majority vote next Tuesday when the
voters of the districts involved go to the polls
The answer to our school problems can
not be measured by dollars and pennies :.
we must face the realities of life for if we
are to continue our American way of life we
must provide our youth with the vehicle to
move forward in this fast-moving atomic,
nuclear age To accomplish this objective we
must give our youth the best at all costs in
better and improved educational facilities.
The destiny of our nation lies in the hand
of our youth What we give them to work
with will result in what they accomplish. Ask
yourself this one question am /, as a voter
in one of the seven school districts proposed
for consolidation, doing everything at my
command to continue the preservation of our
freedoms?
To hand-cuff the youth of our county, of
our state and nation, by depriving them of the
best in educational facilities, as voters and
citizens we are shirking our responsibilities
by not looking wisely into the future and by
our own cowardly acts of admission we must
be personally held accountable for the many
prevailing shortcomings that exist in our
school program.
We urge the overwhelming approval of
the school consolidation issue Mr. Voter, look
to the future consider the youth that are
yet to follow they certainly can demand
from us that which we can give in improved
educational advantages.

The spirit of individual enterprise is still
flourishing in Noble county, judging by the
rate at which new businesses have been
springing up.
Local residents, with the urge to be on
their own, have raised the countys non-farm
business population to new high.
The story is told in joint report issued
by the Department of Commerce and by the
Department of Health Education and We'll
fare, based on tax reports submitted by en-
ployers under the Old Age and Survivors IN
surance Program for 1856
Many of the new ventures do not survive
the difficult first five years, but enough do to
justify the risk entailed
Noble county, by virtue of this net
growth, has total of 169 business enterprises
in which there are one or more employees,
the report shows.
1t marks a big increase over the 157 re-
corded three years earlier, when the same
Federal agencies made their previous study.
The gain, amounting to 76 percent, was
greater than that attained generally in the
United States, an average of ga percent. 1t

this vain effort, this section of Ohio will re-
ceive a highway far beyond the realization
of those actively concerned in getting badly
needed improvements for USR 81. Instead,
Interstate II will traverse thru the rolling
hills of Noble county, extending from Cleve-
land to Florida, and with it benefits of un-
told proportion will be ours to enjoy in the
years to come Good roads are one of a COM
munity's needed assets
Now comes the announcement that some
100 miles of State Route 78 has been approved
by Gov. O'Neill to Ohio's major thorough
fare system
This means the road is now eligible for

Establishment of SR 78 as major thor
oughfare would provide better East-West
traffic service approximately halfway be-
tween USR 40 on the north and USR so on
the south or practically in the vicinity Of
Caldwell
If the present administration is contin-
ued, Caldwell and Noble county could easily
become the crossroads of much road activity,
which would have tremendous impact on
this local area
Gov O'Neilrs grave concern for the lab
oring man cannot be taken too lightly nor
entirely overlooked In this phase acting as
with his dailv bread, the Governor responded
noblv bv calling the state legislature into
special session and succeeded in extending
the unemployment benefits to Ohio's unem-
ploved for additional l3 weeks. His contri-
button to offset the seriousness of the recess
sion certainly reflects the tvpe of man who
heads this great state of Ohio as its chief
executive.
In addition to all the above, Noble coun-
tvs representative, Edmund G.. James. work
ed for several months in the office of the gov
ernor when he was the attorney general and
this association has been further cemented in
the wears which followed.
Noble countans have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by continuing Gov
O'Neill in office for another four years.
We hope and urge Noble county to do
their part and send Billy O'Neill back to the
chief executives office next Tuesday with q
handsome majority.
He has already manifested an interest in
your welfare and that of your county.
Help this interest to continue by support
ing ONeill at the general election next Tues
day.

The proposed consolidation or crea-
ton of new school district in Noble county
for seven school districts is the only logical
answer to the need for improved educational
facilities for our children and it should re-
ceive the overwhelming support of every
voter in the coming election.
Voters in the school districts of Caldwell,
Belle Valley Local, Brookfield Local, Buffa-
10 Local, Center Local, Seneca Local and
Sharon Local are urged to go to the polls
next Tuesday and support this issue.
BY so doing it will create a school dis
trict with sufficient tax valuation and num-
Der of students which will enable the board to
build high school to meet increasing enroll
ments, educational needs and state school
standards.
Residents of some communities are fear
full they will lose their grade school building,
but this consolidation issue does not involve
the grade schools and they will remain in
their present locations.
This means that the school children will
not be on the bus any earlier or longer since
the grades schools will not be effected by the
consolidation issue.
The new proposed school district can be
formed only if the consolidation issue passes
in each of the above named districts. It's fail
ure in any district defeats the entire consoli-
dation.
If passed. the new district becomes eff
fective July l. 1859 and the new board will
be appointed by the state board of education
until new members are elected and take Of
flee. Members of the board would be elected
by vote of the people at the general election
in November 1852 and take office in JAN
uary, 1860.
A minimum of 240 pupils in grades to
y are required for permanent high school
center and not one of the present high
schools here meet this requirement

O'NeiEa For Governor

c. William ONeill of Marietta is asking
the voters of Ohio next Tuesday to return
him to the chief executives office for four
year term.
AS governor his first term, O'Neill has
made mistakes, but they were all of minor
nature and could have happened to any Of
flee holder, even to the most popular execu-
tive the state has ever had in the person of
Frank Lausche
O'Nell and Lausche are cut from entirely
different cloth and it is folly to compare one
with the other
However, they both have had the well
fare and good of their state at heart in prac-
ticallv everything they have done.
We strongly believe that Billy O'Neill
should be returned to the state house IN CO.
lumbus for another term.
His election will benefit the entire state
and especially this section of Ohio for all the
18th district should claim O'Neill as their ma
tive son, not just neghboring Washington
county.
Gov O'Neill has been very kind to Noble
county and he is Just as interested in its
growth, industrially, as he would be in Wash
ington county.
In spite of some opposition which stems
from professional jealousy locally, Gov.
O'Neill gave his blessing to the proposed lake
in Noble county which will mean everything
to our industrial growth.
Rep. Edmund c.. James worked very
closely with the governor on this important
piece of legislation and it was tackled onto
another measure for massage with Bill
O'Neilps knowledge and blessing.
The creation of vast watershed for
Noble county is not just newspaper" talk
and in the next few months hence, it will
surely become a reality
1t is important then to Noble countians
that governor be elected who is interested
in the welfare of this cornmunitv, for the next
fou~ wears will be crucial ones for the county
There are MANY reasons whv we think
that Billy O'Nell should be returned to the
chief executive post
He has demonstrated in the past that he
is interested in the growth of the state and
even its smallest segment
He is interested in good roads and the
vast highway proeram is mute testimony to
his energetic outlook to cover the years
ahead.
He took a very vital interest in the crea-
tior of the Route Il Committee and even
tually threw his weight and influence into
getting federal recognition for USR 81 From

How New Social Security
Changes VIII Affect You

benefits the increased checks will
range from $26.40 to $116 per
month. This slightly lower mini
mum benefit is due to the fact
that some women chose to re-
tire before age IS.
Another change in the law will
make possible larger maximum
benefit payments for many
people coming on the benefit
rolls in the future. This will be
due to the change in the so-called
earnings base" on which pay
ments are figured. Right now,
only earnings up to total of
$4,000 in a year can be credited
to a workers social security ac-
count; beginning with 1859, earn
ings up to $4,000 in year will be
credited to a social security ac-
count. The largest monthly bene-
fit payable to a retired worker
with average yearly earnings of
$4,000 will be $127. However, this
maximum benefit cannot be
reached for many years.
Along with the increase in
benefits will come an increase
in social security taxes. Begin
ming with January, employed
persons will have one-fourth Of
l percent additional taken out
of their pay; the tax rate will be
215 percent each for employee
and employer. The rate for self
employed people will go up from
1873 percent to 1874 percent
on their 1859 net earnings. The
old rate, however, will apply to
self-employment earnings for
1858 which must be paid when
income tax returns are filed
early in 1859.
In the first article ct Shis
series I discussed briefly changes
in the disability provisions of the
social security law. In my next
article I shall explain how these
changes can mean payments to
many people who could not
qualify for benefits before the
law was amended.

BY Robert B. Youmans, Manager
of the GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Social
Security District Office

Social security benefits are
intended to replace in part loss
of income brought about by the
death, disability, or old-age re-
tirement of the worker. For this
reason, they are related to the
average earnings of a worker
in employment or self-employ-
ment covered by the social sec
urity law. Obviously, social sec
urity benefits are affected by
changes in the national economy
Since the last benefit increase
was put into effect in 1854, wages
have increased by about II per-
cent and prices by 8 percent.
Congress felt that adjustments in
the benefit scale were in order
and voted an across-the-board
increase in the amendments
which the President signed into
law on August %, 1858. These
benefits become effective at the
beginning of 1859, and will be
included in all benefit checks
for January which will reach
beneficiaries early in February.
AS l said in the first article in
this series, it is not necessary to
visit your social security office
to apply for these increases. They
will be made automatically.
The benefit increases for re-
tired workers amount to about
z percent over the levels provid-
ed in the old law, with a mini
mum increase of $500 in the
benefits payable to a retired
worker who came on the rolls
at or after age IS. Slightly small
er increases will be shown on the
benefit checks of retired women
workers who elected to retire at
age 81 or at any age thereafter
before reaching age IS. Proper
tionate increases will be made in
benefits paid to beneficiaries
who are the dependents or sur
vivors of retired or deceased
workers.
For retired male workers now
getting benefit payments, the
monthly payments, beginning
with the payment for January,
will range from $33 to $116, as
compared with $50 to $108.5O
under the old law. For women
workers now getting retirement

the presented estimated cost is
approximately $1,000,000.00 -
might be even more. Some esti-
mate raise, The Office Cat would
say.
Each elector entitled to vote
on the proposal to create a new
district to displace the Caldwell
exempted school district, either
for or against, should go to the
polls next Tuesday and vote as
his or her conscience dictates,
and not to crafty the individual
desire of some one desirous of
personal gain. The final result
should end the unpleasant affair
for all time. Make sure to vote
and still be friendly with others.
