cluding amounts paid for ac-
cident or health insurance), or
for transportation primarily for
and essential to medical care :"
Deductible as medical expense
are your costs for drugs and
medicines to the extent that they
exceed 10 of your adjusted
gross income, costs of travel,
transportation, rental of special
sickroom equipment, etc, as we'll
as doctors bills, nurses, hospital
costs and other expenses directly
connected with your illness or
accident.
These costs can be for your
self or any of your dependents.
The dependent does not have to
have been your dependent at
the time that the costs were in
Cured, but must be your de-
pendent at the time they were
paid. You can deduct medical
costs you paid for a dependent,
even though you may not be
able to claim the dependent as a
tax exemption.
For instance: You help sup
port your mother who worked
part time and made over 5000.
Because she made over $500 you
cannot claim her as dependent.
However, if you furnished over
one-half of her support, you can
still deduct the medical costs
you paid for her.
1t does not matter when these
costs were incurred. They are
deductible in the year paid. You
cannot deduct costs that you
owe. They must be paid to get
the deduction.
If part of your medical costs
were reimbursed; that is, if your
insurance company paid a part
of them, then you can deduct
only the part you actually paid
and that was not reimbursed to
you.

Career Day

It is almost impossible to pin-point tan
gible results from the second annual Career
Day sponsored last Wednesday by the Cald-
we'll Business and Professional Women's club
in cooperation with the Caldwell and Noble
county schools.
There were $50 Junior and Senior girls
and boys in attendance at this program and
they heard some of the top men and women
in their profession at the meetings held dur
ing the afternoon.
The young men and women of tomorrow
were given an opportunity to hear these top
professional people in the particular fields in
which they expressed an interest. Surely they
will pick up at least few factors in helping
them to arrive at definite conclusion con
corning their particular field of endeavor
when they have graduated from the various
high schools.
The professional group leaders included
the armed forces, nursing field, engineering
field, including chemical-nuclear, petroleum
and drafting, law enforcement, machinist,

transportation, communications, civil, mech

Dept. of Highways

Marietta, Ohio
April IA, 1858

Dear Editors:
Each year the amount of debris
thrown from cars and dumped
along our highways greatly in
creases. 1t is necessary for gen
eral appearance, as well as for
the safety of the motorist, for
the highway crews to periodi-
cally clean up our right of way.
We have known of bottles and
cans flipping from under the
wheels of a car onto the pave
ment and endangering other
motorists. Also, the damage to
our moving equipment is un-
believably high.
In one of our smaller counties
alone it has cost the state over
six hundred dollars so far this
year to clean the litter from our
right of way.
The very people scattering this
debris should realize that they
are also helping to pay for clean
ing it up. Although throw away
beer bottles and cans is probably
the largest single item we find,
the paper dairy product con-
tainers actually do more damage
to our mowers. The reason for
this is that a bottle or can gen
orally slides through the cutter
of mower while the dairy
carton will often completely stop
the blade.
Therefore, we are asking the
cooperation of our law enforce
ment departments to help curb
this unnecessary condition. En-
closed is a copy of the letter we
have mailed to each Sheriff and
Highway Patrol Station in our
10th Highway Division.
We would also greatly ap-
preciate any publicity that you
could give this subject to aid
us in our drive.
Thanking you very kindly, ]
remain.
Very truly yours,

X The American Way

Mayor O'Dwyer said makes
awfully good sense. Unfort-
unately, few Americans seem
to understand the phrase "for-
eign trade" and how import
ant it is to them. Too many
consider it is something that
has nothing to do with" the
United States. AS a matter of
fact, foreign trade" vitality
affects all of the 1T million
people who make UP our ma
ton.
President Eisenhower had
this in mind when he said, in
his State of the Union message
last January that four and one
half million American Jobs,
located in practically every
state, depend directly on the
fact that we can and do export
goods and merchandise, and
services as well, to foreign
countries from which we buy.
There is very keen interest
in this whole problem of for
eign trade" among the thou
sands of American companies
that are operating in foreign
markets. From one of these,
the Creole Petroleum Corpora
ton, | have obtained some real
istic figures on what foreign
trade" means to this country.
Creole, u. S. company, IS the
largest oil producer in Venc-
zuela. Recently, this company
commissioned an independent
firm, "Econometric Special
ists,' to dig up some facts.
This research firm, which
had previously made similar
studies, tackled its assignment
IN a thoroughly practical way
not by reading library books,
but by talking to the execu-
tives of u. S. concerns that do
an export business. 1t concen-
trated its study by contract
ing more than 1850 American
firms which export to single
Latin American nation Vene-.
zuela, where Creole operates.
The study reveals that the
United States exports to rel
atively small Venezuela (pop-
ulation, slightly in excess of
8 million) we'll over 81 bill
lion a year. This makes Vene-
zuela not only our largest GUS
toner in South America, but
our fastest-groWing customer
in the world.
When "Econometric Special
lists" turned their study on to
the economic affairs of one
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-04-17

state, New Jersey, it learned
that some SO cities and towns
share in an estimated $100 mil
lion export trade to Venezuela
in 1857, accounted for by such
diverse products as motor
vehicles, chemicals, machinery
and metals.
1t seems to me that specific
information such as the fore
going should help clarity the
idea of what our business lead
ers are talking about when
they speak of foreign trade"
or "world trade" The export
ing, for instance, of those
motor vehicles from New Jer-
sey to Venezuela, was made
possible by people-by men
and women with jobs and fam
lilies. Venezuelans were able to
buy those motor vehicles, be-
cause the oil and other pro-
ducts exported to the U. S. and
other parts of the world, put
money in their pay envelopes.
Multiplying this story of one
state by forty-eieht (nearly all
the state, share in such trade),
che begins to realize the great
impact o. foreign trade" on
our American people in Great
inc not only more jobs but bet
tering existing Jobs.
1t is encouraging to know
that many of our business lead
ers who previously were apa-
.thetic about foreign trade"
finally have seen the light and
have lined up behind President
Eisenhower in his effort TO
establish and expand channels
of freer trade in the free world.
1t is to be hoped that as more
and more people come to rea-
lize that Foreign Trade is
Important" to them-that it
has a great impact on their
own affairs and their own poe
ketbooks-they also will line
up behind the President.

Issue Is Clear

Ohio is in for rough and tough cam
paign, if petitions circulated for right to
work. amendment of the constitution receive
the required number of signatures.
Already big union leaders have mapped
strategy for confusing the issue, which is
quite simple.
It is merely whether it shall be made un-
lawful to require union membership as con-
dition for holding job. But it is apparent,
everybody who 'crculates or signs petition
for the submission or supports the proposal
will be stamped as "anti-union" or worse.
It is customary for many labor leaders
to condemn and accuse all who favor taking
from their unions, the special legal privileges
they have and placing them on the same foot
ing as business and other organizations.
When the Taft-Hartley law was adopted
they Immediately put "slave labor" tag on
it, seldom used now as none of the dire things
they said would happen to unions did hap
pen. Now similar abuse is shifted to persons

Securing The Streambed


One of the most encouraging
news to come out of Washington
in recent months was the an
nouncement a few weeks ago
that the Government, in a COM
plete reversal of a l0-year-old
policy, has given the nations
building trades unions an ultima
tum to drop their closed shop
requirement and other illegal
hiring practices.
1t is admitted that for over 10
years the Taft-Hartley ban on
the closed shop has been widely
disregarded in the building in
dustry and that violations have
been winked at by the N.L.R.B.
1t is always refreshing to find
law-enforcing policy replacing
laW-ignoring one. When gov
ernment connives at law-break-
ing, the very instrument for
safeguarding our freedom is be-
ing turned against US. The man.
acles intended for the wrong
doer are clamped, instead, on the
innocent. The supposed dispen-
sing of justice becomes trav-
esty and a mockery. The legal
guardian of our peace becomes
our despoiler.
This is almost the ultimate in
corruption. While the fountain
head of our liberty, God, cannot
be corrupted, the streambed,
government, through which our
political freedom must flow, is
an almost constant threat to its
purity. Eternal vigilance-the
constant securing of the stream
bed to eliminate sources of cor
ruption-is still the price of poll
tical freedom. And let us never
forget it!

and agencies supporting the referendum on
the job protection amendment.
Not long ago, the CIO promoted ref
erendum to legalize supplemental unemploy-
ment compensation 1t had every right to do
so, as any group of the people has the right
to ask referendum.
Those seeking referendum to protect
workers from being forced to join union
possess the same right. The CIO measure was
badly defeated by the vote of the people, just
as the fright to work" amendment will be de-
cided one way or the other by the voters if it
is brought before them That is approved
democratic practice.
Name-calling and coercion have no place
in this process. 1t can be questioned whether
anything can be gained by using them. Ger
tainly no one can win public confidence and
that means votes, by employing them
The voters will use their best judgment
when they enter the polling booths.
