THE WRONG WAY

A short time ago airline pilots refused to
report for duty on a number of our major
airlines: This action, which amounted to an
informal strike, was fortunately of brief dur
alton. Even so, the public was seriously in
convenienced-and these pilots demonstrated
an attitude of responsibility which casts
serious question on the judgment of men who
earn very large salaries, are engaged in
highly responsible and skilled profession, and
enjoy great prestige.
They refused to fly because they disagreed
with certain new safety rules and regulations
and procedures ordered by the Federal Avi-
alton Agency. This is the agency whose job
it is to maintain high standards of airline
operation. Behind it lies all the authority of
the u. S. Government.
Now, it is possible that some or all of
the new structures were unnecessary, or irri-
tating, or extreme, or need modification. But
that is not the point. If the commercial pilots
and their association felt this, their recourse
was to go through the legal and legislative
channels which exist to reconcile differences
and bring about change where change is
necessary. The worst possible step was to
petulantly refuse to report for duty and thus
say, in effect, that their judgment was super
ior to that of the law and the agency the law
created.
What it all comes down to is that this is a
government of laws and not of men, as all
sound and free governments must be. Let's
hope the pilots, and all the rest of US, keep
that in mind in the future.

There is widespread drop in urban pop

the obvious explanation. Yet few cities

surprising political results.
The most amazing gain is registered by
Phoenix, Ariz., which had 100000 inhabi-
tants in 1850 and now has 430, 900. Here may
be seen the influx of wealthy Fasteners, who

POLIO TIME

1t is time for all those who have not had
booster shots, for protection against infan-
tile paralysis, to get them as quickly as poss-
ibIe
Although science is close to the develop
ment of a pill which could effect immuniza-
tion against polio, this pill is not ready, or
thoroughly tested, and one of the two avail
able polio serums should be utilized in 1860.
We should point out in this editorial that
while polio usually strikes younger people,
it can and does strike people up to forty-five
years of age with startling frequency And
even those above forty-five are not exempt
from the ravages of this crippling disease.
The peak of the polio season usually
comes in late July or August or September.
Polio shots, to be effective at time of max
imum danger, are therefor overdue.
Although the incidence of infantile par
alysis has been tremendously reduced by vac
cines made available in recent year, the aver
age reader would be shocked to know that
the total number of polio cases is still sur
prisingly near that of pre-serum years. Great
progress has been made in eliminating par
alytic polio, but cases of paralytic polio
among children are still occurring, and it is
doubly regrettable that they are occurring
when serums are available which could pre-
vent those individual tragedies.

"YOUR LIFE'S RECORD"


The hometown newspaper-like the ris-
ing and setting of the SUMS a vital part of
our everyday living.
letter to the editor of the Grundy, Iowa,
Register, brings this point home. 1t said:
''You were here over so years ago and you
will find in the files of your papers report
of my birth. Your papers also had stories
when played football in school, and when
graduated and later when got married. You
have reported many anniversaries in our
family, the birth of our four children, their
activities in school and elsewhere And in
late years who have reported the arrival of
our grandchildren. Why, you and your paper
have written and printed life history of
our family. And why shouldn't we look upon
you and your paper as member of our fam
ily?"
Yes, the local newspaper is the recorder
of the life of a community-business person
al, political and national. Being a constant
subscriber is good habit to acquire because
the local paper isn't self-perpetuating as is
the sum- 1t needs your support even as the
community needs it's service.

Able THOUGH AGED

aged may foster the impression that the
average oldster is infirm and all but help
less. This is wide of the mark. To write off
everyone over 65 as unfit for anything but
retirement is absurd. A recent report by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics SAYS as much.
Workers in the older-age group, the bu-
reau study shows, have steadier production
rates, with less variation from week to week,
than younger workers. Age saps vitality and
limits endurance, obviously. A prize fighter
is a creaking oldster at 35, and so is ball
player. But the 65-year-Old Office worker is
not necessarily any less effective than he was
at 30; he may be more so.
The quickest way to age an employee is
to turn him out to pasture against his wishes,
when he is still capable and healthy, simply
because he is 65. AS the number of senior
citizens increases, they are playing a more
and more important part in the economy.
They merit the respect and attention of the
business and political community. The aged
do have special medical problems, but this
does not mean that all of them are doddering.

WHY FIRMS SEEK SMALL TOWNS
Not too long ago national weekly news
paper reported on the trend of big business
to move its plants into smaller towns. The
report was highly enlightening.
One firm which had operated in large
metropolitan area for half century recent
ly erected plants in two small communities
and the company head reported that the con-
cern was delighted with the results.
In the first place, he said, the business
had been virtually unknown in the large city
and workers were not in touch with the needs
of people in smaller towns who used the pro-
duct manufactured. In the small towns,
where the two new plans were opened, citi-
zens were eager to have the new plants 10
cate in their community and helped raise
money for the building, on loan basis, and
took a great interest in the business enter
prise They were happy, contented, good
workers, and had the interest of the busi-
ness at heart.
Labor relations in such plant, and in a
community which appreciates the location of
such plant are of the best.
These are the reasons, in brief, why so
many big corporations are building plants in
the nation"s smaller communities. This is
good for the nation, and produces good man.

the trend will probably accelerate in the COM

Our National Guardians

mission, the Guard, through years of hard
work, and devotion, has achieved the highest
degree of combat readiness in its peacetime
history. Nor is this a matter of opinion. 1t
is fact repeatedly emphasized by our top
military leaders in Washington.
Having thus established it's right to re-
main in our first line of defense, the National
Guard is now looking for new ways to serve
the nation.
National Guard leaders are convinced
that the recovery mission is not only vital
one, in the light of present world tensions,
but also one which the Guard can fulfill
without neglecting its combat role. They
point out that after an atomic holocaust, no
nation will be able to commit itself COM
pletely to ground action until it has recov-
cred from the shock at home. This includes
restoring order, caring for the wounded, re-
establishing communications, restoring order
and opening up roads
Here is where the National Guard comes
in. Being dispersed throughout the nation,
it will be able to withstand the atomic shock
without crippling losses. Having highly
trained Well-equipped units in 2600 conlmun-
tiles, it is the logical force to assist in such
a recovery operation in every area. 1t has
the planes, tanks, trucks, ambulances, hos
pital equipment and just plain manpoWer to
do the job.
The recovery plan makes sense and the
desire to carry it out is laudable.
1t serves to remind us that the National
Guard system is just as vital on Independ-
ence Day 1860 as it was in 1776.

which todays National Guard has evolved,

Included in this local group are two Of

homes, their jobs and their daily routine, to
participate in this training period which pre-
pares them for any situation which might
arise.
We are particularly appreciative of their
efforts, since they are home town boys and
there is personal interest in each and every
one.
1t is encouraging to note from recent
news columns that the National Guard is by
no means resting on the laurels of past glor-
les. Plans are now underway, we are told,
to assign a secondary mission to the National
Guard of assisting in national recovery in
the event of an atomic attack.
We are all familiar with the Guards

equipped combat units to the active Army

The surveys show that the consumer
plays a major role in the economy. He alb

The extent of this power that he Wields

that the amount of money spent by the pub

three times as much as the 500 billion spent

together.
Studies of consumer behavior indicate
that he will not hold back in his buying un-
less he feels that he is too much in debt or
until he becomes fearful of the future.
Otherwise, the only governing factor is his
spending capacity.
In Noble county, that capacity is on the
rise, with local residents having more spend
able income at their disposal than they had
four years previously.

High Consumer Spending

Thanks to the dependable consumer, the
Noble county economy is getting healthier
all the time.
Local residents, armed with better in
comes than they enjoyed few years back,
are showing their strength through increased
spending in the county's retail shops and in
greater expenditures for services of all kinds.
The findings are contained in the nation
wide surveys of retail and service businesses,
recently released by the Department of Com
merce, and in income and spending studies
conducted by other agencies.
The figures show that the combined out
lay locally for goods and services was 1913
higher in 1858 than it had been in 1854 when
a similar study of the kind was made.
The volume of consumer spending in
Noble county in the year totaled $965l 900,
with $9,253,0O0 Of it going to the local retail
stores and the other $398,000 to the many
service businesses listed in the Government
report.
How large a sum this is for community
of the size of Noble county NAV be seen in
the light of the population involved.
This shows that it amounts to spending

Secretary OF State

Recounts are more frequent in
the elections in the odd-numbered
years when municipal, township
and Boards of Education races
often become very close.
However, after every election =
and the May 3 primaries is no
exception, there are always a
number of recounts throughout
the state.
The laws of Ohio have pro-
tective provisions for candidates
who fear, because of a close vote
or for other reasons, that their de-
feat was not actual. Chapter
3515 of the Ohio Laws outlines
the procedure to be followed by
any person for whom votes were
cast, who failed to win. This
procedure also may be followed
by any group of five or more
qualified electors advocating or
opposing any question or issue
on the ballot.
The law requires that the re-
quest for recount be filed not
later than five days after the
official count has been completed.
The fact that a recount is de-
manded sometimes stirs rumors
but the mere holding of a recount
does not necessarily mean that
there has been fraud or irregular
tiles in the conduct of an election
Usually, they are asked by a de-
feated candidate whose vote was
too close to his opponent to salts
fly himself that some error did
not creep into the tabulation.
On the average, recounts do not
change the tallies very much

There is wisdom in Ohio'S laws
which permits Boards of Elec-
tions to establish boundaries or
to split precincts into extra pol
ling places.
When the number of voters
in any area becomes too great
to be satisfactorily accommodate
ed on election day, such changes
are made.
Many Boards of Elections, ac-
cording to minutes received in
the office of the Secretary of
State, are now in the process of
consulting with the political lead
ers of both parties in the pre-
cincts affected, looking toward
relieving the heavily populated
precincts before the Presidential
election in November-eXpected
to bring out record vote.
1t is interesting to note that
there were around 5000 polling
places in Ohio ten years ago as
compared to 1852 at the time of
the May primaries.

the Secretary of State, Boards of
Elections are ever alert in efforts
to keep voting facilities in line

This is the first of a group of
articles in this series that will be
devoted to discussions of criminal
offenses and penalties under the
Ohio Election Laws.
The statutes make it a crime
for any person to attempt to in
duce an elector to show how
he marked his ballot at an cleo
ton. Similarly, it is also crime
for an electCr, other than one
who IS receiving assistance as
provided by law, to allow his
BALLOT to be seen by another with
the intention of letting it be
known how he is about to vote.
BY the same token it is illegal
or person to make a false
statement as to his ability to
mark his own ballot or for him
to mark his ballot purposely SO
that it may be identified after
it has been cast.
Whoever violates any of these
provisions shall, upon conviction,
be fined not less than twenty
five nor more than five hundred
dollars or imprisoned not more
than six months, or both.
These provisions of the cleo
ton laws obviously do more than
merely guarantee the electors
the right to have their ballots
remain secret. The ballots are
instead required to be secret
whether the elector desires il
that way or not.
These provisions are, of course
tied in with the prohibition
against the sale of votes. Under
the statutes it IS unlawful for
any person to request or receive
any money or other thing o1
value in exchange for agreeing
to vote or for agreeing to refrain
from voting. Likewise it is illega
