Life Span Up

What are the chances in Noble County of
living to ripe old age? What evidence is
there locally to show that modern medicine,
better nutrition and improved living STAN
dards have added to the span of life?
A recent report by the U. S. Public
Health Service reveals that people at age 20
now have the expectancy of living to age
1913 years, which is 9.6 years more than 1t
would have been at the turn of the century.
The average baby born today will live
203 years longer than he would have lived
if born in 1900
For those at age 60 there has been an in
crease of 2.8 years, on the average, bringing
their normal expectancy up to IT'S years
The number of these dividend years is
different at different age levels. In Noble
County, according to the latest Census Bur-
eau findings, the median age of the popula-
ton is 32.5, which is somewhat higher than
the national figure of 302 years.
At the local age level, the report shows,
the dividend is So years per person.

1t has made for a more respon-

LABOR LEGISLATION
A MUST
BY George Peck

Some % years ago, during
the year when | first began to
inflict this column on news
paper readers, a newspaper
editor wrote me requesting
that | state my position on
Union labor. The following an
swer went to him:
"You ask how l stand on
union labor. My answer is that
l am for organized labor; and
recognize the right of labor to
bargain collectively by all legi-
innate methods. However, col
lective bargaining should be
done without intimidation, die
tation, coercion, domination Of
any kind. 1t is deplorable that
small minority in labor's
leadership is made up of men
who are either communistic
or are exploiting the worker
members of their unions for
their own selfish ends"
If that same editor, or any
other editor were to ask the
same question today, my an
sWer would be practically the
same, except that | would be
considerably more emphatic in
expressing conviction that
union labor has every right to
bargain collectively, provided
such bargaining is carried on
in a reasonable and peaceful
manner. The Dave Becks and
Jimmie Hoffas, while their
callous disregard of good union
ism is to be deplored, have not
blinded me to the fact they are
not typical Of union leadership
as a whole.
During the past % years it
has been my privilege to talk
with many management eXecu-
tives whose corporations for
the first time had signed con-
tracts with a labor union. Most
of them confessed that they
had entered reluctantly and
with considerable apprehen-
sion into contracting arrange
ments with unions. Most Of
them were fair and honest
enough to admit that their ex-
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-07-03

al Investigations have defini-
tely revealed, does exist in the
leadership of some Of the ma
tons labor unions.
At the time when the defal-
cations of Dave Becks were
being held up to public gaze,
there was nationwide de
mand for legislation that
would protect union members
from the depredations of any
union leaders who have usurp-
ed power or of any who in
the future might try to do SO.
Congress, with its ear to the
ground, indicated it would
heed this hue and cry by pass
ing labor legislation that would
put the crooks out of the
unions and prevent any others
from crawling in.
What has happened? The
clamor has died down and it
now looks as though this ses-
sion of Congress will do moth
ing in the way of labor legis-
lation. If you are one who has
not forgotten the shocking
things brought to light by the
Mcclellan Committee, then by
all means help rekindle the
bonfire under Congress. Write
your Representative and two
U. S. Senators demanding ac-
ton NOW toward the emanci-
patton Of those union workers
who are slave subjects of ruth
less labor dictators.

Q-I'm a veteran with a SER
vice-connected disability. Can
just go to my own doctor for
treatment and have him send
the bill to VA?
A-No. He first must obtain
VA approval, before he may
treat your service-connected con-
dition at government expense.
GA friend of mine applied to
VA for disability compensation
in 1856, but didn't show up for
physical examination when he
was asked. Can he reopen his
claim now?
Ale cannot reopen the ori-
ginal claim, since claims are con-
sidered abandoned" when no
action is taken by the veteran
to comply with a request from
the VA within one-year period.
He can. however, file a new ap-
plication. If his second applica-
ton is approved, payments will
begin from the date of the new
application, not the old one.
Q-I'm a World War II vet
eran, still carrying CT term in
surance, which is getting pretty
expensive. Can l convert just
part of it to a permanent plan,
or must | convert all of it at
once?
A-You may convert part of
your CT term insurance to per-
manent insurance, if you wish.
However, insurance must be con-
verted in multiples of $500, and
the minimum amount that may
be converted is $1,000.

slender that winds over Is
miles an hour are a menace to

there was a long wait.
Balloon Changes Forecast
Finally a weather balloon
was sent aloft. 1t refuted the
wind forecast. Almost imme-
diately the countdown resumed.
The time loss charged to the
uncertainty about the weather
amounted to more than an
hour.
The trouble with the umbili-

difficulty encountered in an
earlier launching attempt.

BILE for touching the toggle
switch that would launch the

He was ready Saturday to rip
away the umbilical line once
again. This time, however, the
crane operator was missing.
The cherry picked crane has
a bucket in which man can
ride to working elevations that
normally would be out of reach.
Since the prompt service of
the mobile crane was not avail
able. the Vanguard crew found
it necessary to roll the heavy
gantry crane or working tower
back on its rail bed to surround
the rocket.
Crew members estimated this
oversight cost them about is
