The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-02-27

During the past two weeks many
people, local and elsewhere, have extended
to The Journal and those directly associated
with the publication, many congratulatory
expressions to all we wish to express
our sincere thanks.
1t is true that The Journal did receive
an award, exemplifing in the best Of news
paper tradition, that job was being done,
but the fact remains many persons working
behind the scenes likewise make major con-
tributionS for such pleasant occasions.
1t would not be possible to publish
newspaper if it were not for the excellent
cooperation by a great number of people.
To those people who constantly, week after
week supply us with news items, our county
correspondents, to the merchants OF Cald
we'll and the county, to the public officials
all over the county, to the schools, to our
neighbors and friends who are constant
boosters and who make so many valued
contributions, we again extend our sincere
thanks and appreciation.
Today The Journal is distributed to
more readers than ever in the one hundred
years of its existence. Every week nearly
1000 copies are distributed, and it can be
assuredly stated that The Journal ha> some
10000 readers AS matter of record we
know that a weekly newspaper is not
destroyed usually until the next issue
arrives and this means that there is a
possibility that the paper is re-read time
and time again over the seven-day period.
There is no other medium that can come
within a reasonable distance of this figure
over our wide circulation area.
That is one good reason why the mer-
chants of Caldwell and the county have
come to use the advertising columns of this
paper SO consistently Advertisements placed
here bring results because we have the
leadership. Rural folks read the county

MORE BUSINESSLIkE
DEFENSE
By George Peck

In January of this year, it
was my great privilege to at
tend a dinner at Clearwater,
Florida, given by the General
Electric Co. to commemorate
the first anniversary of the
operation of its electronics
plant located near Largo,
Florida. The address of the
evening was delivered by G.
w. LaPierre, a vice president
of G. E.
The subject of his address
was: more Businesslike De
fense." What he had to say
on the subject makes such
good sense that | wish to pass
on to the readers of this col
umn, the highlights of his
address.
Mr.. LaPierre made the point
at the outset that we Ameri-
cans were sadly disillusioned
on October 4, 1857, when the
first Russian Sputnik was
launched. The idea which we
Americans had entertained for
some time, that we were the
masters of chronological in
novation in almost every field
was knocked into a cooked
hat" when the Reds beat us
to the draw" by launching the
first satellite.
In considering this Soviet

Some Contrast

In last weeks issue of the Morgan
County Herald there appeared news story
explaining the distribution of tax dollars.
To fully appreciate the Morgan county
situation on just how compleXed its taxing
districts have become, we quote the story
in its entirety:
g.. the local Ohio Power Co. manager
brought in a check for 1888, 3,45493 to the
office Of County Treasurer Thelma G.
Manly, Tuesday, re-affirming the fact that
his company is the county's (Morgan)
largest taxpayer. The sum represents Ohio
Powers taxes on real estate for the last
half of the year and is based on valuations
computed at the office of the State Tax
Commission in Columbus. Of this total sum
of 1888, ,454.93 paid into our county treasury,
O2,525.73 must be paid out directly to
Washington county as its share of the school
tax monies, Mrs. Manly states. Last year
the valuation of the Muskingum River plant
at Relief was $50, ,729, 900. Due to completion

prise has unquestionably pro-
duced the highest standard of
living Of any major country.

Then he asked: How is it
that we are being challenged
in defense equipment while we
remain unchallenged in civil
liam goods?"
After reciting the many fac
tors that hamper industry
when it turns from producing
for civilian to military GUS
toners, Mr.. LaPierre declared
that "our private enterprise
could produce an equally un-
challenged array of weapons
at far less cost to the tax
payer. Private enterpriserS
should be asked to do the job
in the way they know so we'll
that it can best be done"
Space does not permit here
giving the details outlined by
the G. E. vice president as to
what should be done to turn
the job of military production
over to private industry. How
ever, he expressed his belief
that the American people as
a whole would sanction getting
the job done at least cost and
with the greatest safety to
their fighting forces. This, pri-
vate industry he is confident
would accomplish.
He told his audience that he
did not consider private indus
try is 100 percent efficient;
that industry managers and
engineers know better; that
despite its remarkable achieve
ments to date, there is still
room for improvement. "In
our quest for better methods
and knowledge we invariably
do more wrong things than
right" he admitted, "but the
overall score is by all odds
the best that has yet been
achieved. American private
enterprise has demonstrated
repeatedly a world-renoWned
performance in supplying its
civilian customers with the
most advanced chronological
products. Its overall results in
this area are unchallenged.

national defense whenever the
nation allows it to apply the
procedures and proce esse s
which it has learned so we'll"
What Mr.. LaPierre said
makes good sense. Now, the
$4,000 question is-Wiil we
exercise the good sense of max
ing our legislators follow his
advice?

Vote On consolidation.
The State Board of Education
has the authority under Ohio
Revised Code, Section No.

put a consolidation program on

On a request from the Com

advised the committee that in
certain few cases, particularly
where a proposed consolidation
involves exempted and county
school districts, the State De-

Education that such a study be
made and proposed consolida-
ton put on the ballot if a
resolution requesting this action
is made by all local school
boards involved and forwarded
to the State Department OF
Education.
AS Chairman of the Committee
for Consolidation l contacted
several members of the Caldwell
school board and discussed the
possibility of their making q
resolution as suggested by the
