Retail Sales Up

What changes have taken place in the
Noble County economy in the last few years
from the standpoint of consumer buying?
How much more business do the local retail
stores account for today?
Answers to these questions are given in
new report, released in Washington, where
the Bureau of Census has just made public
the first tabulated results of it's 1858 Census
of Business
Covered in it are all communities in the
country of $500 and over. 1t is the first such
study since 1854.
Noble County's retail stores chalked up
a sales volume amounting to S8,854,OOO last
year, the report shows. The prior total, by
contrast, was $8357 900.
For the retail establishments in the coun-
ty, this was equivalent to S65, 102 in sales per
store. The comparable figure in 1854, at the
time of the last business census, was $61 ,448.
The rise amounted to SO percent.
Partially offsetting this rise in consumer
spending has been initiation. The price of
most goods is higher today than it was in
1854

above most certainly should be
taken by the members of both
our Houses of Congress.
Harking back to the Toledo
speech Of the Honorable How
ard c. Green, he quite frankly
Informed his listeners that
when we think you're wrong,
we will say So"
We Americans certainly can
not quarrel with this attitude
of Canada's Secretary of State
for External Affairs. Canada is
rapidly becoming major
world power. She has vast
natural resources, largely un-
touched as of now, giving her
an enormous development po-
tential What is more, the Do
minion has plenty of growing
room for an expanding popula-
ton. 1t is not an eXaggeration
to predict that in the not too
distant future, Canada will
have a population of some so
million inhabitants.
1t is inevitable that as Cana
da grows industrially, COM
mercially and in the number
of its citizens, that her voice
will get louder and louder
and rightfully SO.
1t is a voice that the U.S.A.
must continue to heed. This
columniSt is confident that
cool heads both north and
south of the Canadian-Ameri-
can border will prevail, that
we will continue to talk over
our mutual problems and diff
ferences and arrive at amiable
and equitable solutions, that
"the deep understanding and
friendship between our two
countries" will continue to be
"unequalled between any other
two nations in the world"
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1959-11-19

On the other hand, it is noted, the gains
recorded were made in period that included
the 1888 recession.
The official figures show, for Noble Coun-
ty, total of 1856 retail establishments in op-
Grafton toward the end of 1858. They had an
annual payroll of S73l 900, as against $612,-
900 in 1854.
The payroll rise, which was 1914 percent,
topped the United States average, 1863 per-
cent The East North Central States had an
Ill percent rise.
The average American family has been
stimulated to spend more and more each year
by the simple fact that it has had more to
spend. Despite higher taxes and bigger price
tags, there is still greater amount of dis
possible income around than there was before.
Recognized as another major factor,
largely responsible for the new mood in con-
sumner spending, is the growth of personal
protection programs. The individual and the
family are secured as never before against
the economic impact of DEATH disability and
retirement.

this the New England Letter says
that the following are essential:

Advertising-Truly Wonderful

We grow quite weary at times
at the constant harping of the
so-called "liberals,' egg-heads
and left -Wingers against adver-
tising.
At the present time they are
hollering to high heaven about
the fix which has come to light
in some of the television quiz
programs. This, according to
them, condemns advertising in
toto. Because advertisers, spon-
soring these programs, either
Willingly or unWittingly, have
violated the rules of sound,
ethical advertising, that in the
opinion of the "liberals" makes
all advertising bad and every
advertiser crook. All are con-
demned for the sins Of few.
$50, let's pass a law either
out-lawing advertising or so
hamstringing it with rules and
regulations that it would en-
tirely lose its oomph," the lib
erals cry. Little do they realize
what a big share advertising has
had in creating our high Ameri-
can standard Of living. Robert
LeFevre, editorial writer of the
Colorado Springs (Colo) Gazette
Telegraph, on October "a, sum-
med up the case for advertising
as follows:
America owes a great deal to
advertising. Without a doubt our
enormous productivity, our great
employment record, our high
standards of living can be traced
directly to the free climate which
has permitted advertising. Ad-
vertising is the least costly and
the most honest and direct means
of bringing about universal dis
tribution. What wonderful
thing it truly is
The defense rests with Mr.. Le-
FeVre's testimony.

CANAAN FRIENDSHIP
BY George Peck

>oA - W"
This columnist repeatedly
has harped on the friendly ma
tlonS which have existed for
century and a half between the
Dominion of Canada and the
United States of America. Both
countries have talked out their
differences and arrived at fair
and equitable solutions.
Recently, Honored Howard
S. Green, Canada's Secretary
of State for External Affairs,
in the course of an address at
Toledo, Ohio, stated the case
most aptly when he told his
audience: There is a deep
understanding and friendship
between our two nations (the
U.S.A. and Canada) which |
think is unequalled between
any other two nations in the
world"
Of course, it is inevitable
that two nations, both blessed
with free economies including
freedom of speech, should from
time to time express disSatis-
faction with the conduct of the
other. The Wall Street Journal
which has the good habit of
calling "a spade a spade" in
an editorial frankly discusses
an "anti-AmericaniSm" which
it has discovered exists in some
quarters north of the border,
and issues some advice to our
American citizenry and its
Congress. Says the Wall St.
Journal:

spent much time in Canada is
aware there is 'anti-American-

can also be described as Can
adian nationalism,' is under

grounds - economic, cultural,

but its own?
But the United States also
is a sovereign nation, and if
many of its citizens are both

feelings are hurt; it is that a

"Certainly we do not intend
to single out Mr.. Pearson in

fact that both leading parties

Disability protection for many
farmers came into effect on Oct.
|, 1859.
Those farmers who are dis
abled and who have paid into
the social security program start
ing with 1855 should get in touch
with the GAINESVILLE social sec
urlty office,' Robert B. Youmans,
district manager said.
To be eligible for disability
benefits at age SO or older or
have disability freeze" if
younger than so, the farmer must
have 5 years covered by the
social security program. This
qualification can be established
by most self-employed farmers
now disabled on October l.
Even though the disability
tests can be met then, the law
requires a waiting period of six
months before any payments can
be made" Mr.. YoumanS says.
AS result, first payments to
farmers who qualify could be
made in most cases no earlier
than May of 1860 for April.
The disability must prevent
the farmer from further engag-
ing in substantial gainful acti-
witty, Mr.. Youmans points out.
This means simply that the dis
ability must be severe enough to
prevent the disabled person from
doing any further work.
THE disability provisions of
the social security laws, of
course, apply to persons other
than farmers Mr.. YoumanS ex-
plains, "but farmers without
previous social security cover
age had to wait until October
of this year to meet the work
requirements of the program
