Among the appointments which Govern

new state administration, none holds great

director of highways

that bringing Ohio's road system up to date
should be one of the major goals of his adj
ministration. Accordingly, he sought the best
man available anywhere to head the high
way department. His choice was hghly-ex-

The result was the development of highway
construction program second to none in the
nation.

AN OVERLOADED
STOMACH
By George Peck

Some years ago this column
ist was highly amused at a
revelation made to him by a
candy manufacturer. This had
to do with how he had solved
the problem of having hic en-
ployees eat up all the profits.
Here in his formula, recon
structed as nearly as i can re-
call. given in his own words:
"You know, the average
woman has a sweet tooth. So
does the average man, but as
all of my employees on the
production line are women,
my problem was to cut down
on the amount of candy they
ate each working day. Of
course, they only ate the cam
dies made of the most expen-
sive ingredients. At the most
conservative estimate, they
were eating into my profits to
the tune of many thousands
Of dollars per year.
Then came the inspiration
that lead eventually to cutting
down this ''employee-eating
loss by at least 80 percent. AS
a new girl was hired, l told her
that one of the nice things
about her job was that she
could eat all of the chocolates
her little heart desired. Now,
in most cases, the new hand
never having had her fill of
chocolates, proceeded to fill
her stomach past its handling
capacity. The result: a little
lady with a badly upset diges-
tive system and a revulsion to
candy that sometimes lasted
for years. In my shop today
there are many girls who have
not eaten one single piece of
candy since their first day on
the job"
Somehow, recently in look
ing over the statistics of the
number OF American people
presently on public payrolls,
this story told by the candy
manufacturer came back to
mind. It is true that there are
many government employees,
dedicated to public service, but
Just as in the case of the new
candy factory employee, it is
true that you can have too
much OF even a good thing.
Today, we have so many men
and women working for gov
ernment that our economic
digestive system is cadly up
set. What makes it even worse
is that the patients condition
threatens to become worse. The
upward trend of Americans on
public payrolls shows no signs
OF dwelling off, despite the
fact, that one of every eight
employed Americans is now
euaployed by government
