SECOND SECTION
Social Security Benefits In Noble
County Total $1,372 For Quarter
Figures released by William J.
McCauley, manager of the Zanes
ville local office of the Social Se
curity Administration for the quar
ter ending September 30, 1946, re
veals that over $1372 is being paid
in monthly benefits to persons re
siding in Noble county, which is
serviced out of the Zanesville office.
The various benefits and amount
paid is broken down in the follow
ing table: Retired workers 65 or
over 40, benefits $832.70 Wives
65 or over, of retired workers 11,
benefits $122.13 Widows 65 or over,
of deceased workers 3, benefits
$51.49 Young widows with child or
children under 18, in their case
10, benefits $183.55 Children of de
ceased workers under 18 19, ben
efits $183.10 Total, 83 Rccep
ients, $1,372.97 benefits.
Monthly benefits show an in
crease of over nine per cent above
the quarter ending June 30, 1946,
which indicates that well over $16,
400 a year will be paid out in mon
thly benefits to persons residing in
Noble county.
With the release of these figures,
McCauley stated that it is a good
policy to check up on your status
when you attain age 65, if for no
other reason than to have the rep
resentative of the Administration
advise you what course you should
take. A worker 65 years of age or
over may file and “freeze” his ben
efit if he finds that his wages have
been reduced since the war ended,
or if he has lost a considerable
amount of time from illness or
other reasons. By freezing the bene
fit, the lower wages are not taken
into consideration in figuring the
amount to which the applicant
would be entitled. A worker can
not begin to receive benefits until
he is 65 or over, stops working in
employment covered by the law,
and files a claim.
McCauley also called attention to
survivors of a deceased wage earner,
stating that in all cases, they should
contact the office as soon as possi
ble so that a claim can be taken to
determine if benefit? are to be paid
»n his account.
A representative of the Zanesville
office is in Caldwell the first Tues
day of every even numbered month
and holds office in the Post Office
Building from 11:00 to 12:00 noon.
He will be available to assist in the
taking of claims or to furnish ad
vice on any matters relating to So
cial Security.

Better Apple Crop
Harvest of Ohio’s 1946 apple crop
is about completed, and F. H.
Beach, specialist in horticulture,
Ohio State University, says the crop
will total about 2,835,000 bushels,
which would be about three bushels
for everyone produced in Ohio or
chards in 1945.
Ohio apple prospects did not seem
promising after late spring frosts
severely damaged bloom in impor
tant producing sections, but or
chards in favorable locations re
ceived less frost injury. Dry weather
in late summer reduced the size of
apples in Ohio orchards and may
have made the fruit less colorful.
Mr. Beach says apple fans will be
offered attractive packages of their
favorite fruit during National Apple
Week, October 26-November 2.
Apple Day is set for October 31,
which also is Hallowe’en so the tra
ditional fruit for Hallowe’en parties
will be on displays in all stores.
The University specialist in horti
culture declares grandma’s maxim
about the health value of apples has
been proven by modern scientists.
McIntosh, Delicious, Jonathan, Gol
den Delicious, and Winesap apples
contain twice as much vitamin A
as is provided by oranges, and the
Stayman apples equal oranges in
vitamin A value.
Mr. Beach also recommends
apples as a source of an acid that
neutralizes toxins that might devel
ope within the body. Another food
value obtained from apples is pec
tin, which aids in neutralization and
also helps digestion.
Ohio does not produce enough
apples to supply demands of Ohio
citizens, but the national 1947 crop
will be about 116,000,000 bushels so
Ohio markets will be well supplied
throughout the year. Northwestern
states, Michigan, Virginia, West Vir
ginia, and Pennsylvania have good
apple crops this year.
Burning Of Fields
Injurious To Soil
That weed patch or field of corn
stalks should not be burned this fall,
agronomists of the Farm Bureau
Cooperative Association, Columbus,
pointed out today. When the vege
tation is burned, other parts of the
soil is destroyed, they said, includ
ing humus, soil porosity and micro
scopic plant and animal life neces
sary for plant growth. It takes sev
eral years to build back these un
seen resources.

up—!
Today, it is as hard to get steel pipe as it is to get automobiles
and houses.
Like coal, sugar, housing and many other necessities, gas
is in short supply now and will remain so until construction
material to build the planned pipelines, compressor sta
tions, storage and distribution plants becomes available.
Anticipating heavy consumption, The Columbia Gas Sys
tem began in 1945 a $50,000,000 construction program to
increase our capacity to serve you.
Despite our utmost efforts, shortages of steel and other
necessary items have made it impossible for us to com
plete the enlargements planned.
There is enough gas at the source! But the same economic
maladjustment that prevents you from getting the goods
you want, prevents our principal suppliers from building
the facilities and delivering to The Columbia Gas System
an adequate supply of gas from the vast gas reserves
in Texas.
The Columbia Gas & Electric Corporation, of which
THE OHIO FUEL GAS COMPANY is a subsidiary, operates
32,629 miles of transmission and distribution lines. It owns
in excess of 9,000 producing gas wells and purchases the
entire output of approximately 6,500 wells owned by inde
pendent producers. In addition, it is now taking into its
transmission and distribution systems 160,000,000 cubic
feet of gas a day from Texas through the long distance pipe
lines of its principal suppliers. Further, we have now placed

Motor Vehicle Fees
Announced For County
The third advanced 1946 distribu
tion of motor vehicle registration
fees to counties and registration
districts in Ohio’s 88 counties are
being made today, it was announced
by Frank M. Quinn, registrar of the
Bureau of Motor Vehicles in the
State Highway department. The
distribution will total $4,003,722.72.
The total amount paid to county
auditor, Ray McVay, who merely
forwards the warrants to the politi
cal sub-divisions, was $5,148. It was
divided as follows: Batesville, $35
Belle Valley, $33.75 Caldwell, $417.
50 Dexter City, $35 Sarahsville,
$25 Summerfield, $66.25 and the
county, $4,535.50.
Ever play chess? It’s a great
game! One of the strongest friend
ships I know of started with a game
of chess—between Dad Hoskins, in
our town, and a man named Dalton
Barnes, in England.
They’ve never seen each other,
never met. But for the past eight
years they’ve been playing chess
by mail together Dad puzzling
over Dalton’s latest letter, while he
sends a chart of his next move to
England.
Dad always thinks best with a
mellow glass of beer beside his
in underground storage reservoirs 42 billion feet of gas
which is available against high winter demand, 4 billion
cubic feet more than we have ever before stored.
However the demand for natural gas has increased in un
precedented proportions. Much of this increase—as much
as 125,000,000 additional cubic feet on a severely cold
day—is due to the increasingly popular demand for gas
for home heating.
So, in common with suppliers of other vitally needed com
modities, your Gas Company will experience shortages in
its gas supply and it may be necessary to curtail your fuel
supply in severe weather.
You can conserve the available supply of gas just as you can
—and do—conserve sugar, fats, meat, and other "short”
commodities.
Use your available supply of gas sparingly and wisely. By
doing this now and continuing to do so, you will be help
ing yourself and your neighbor. For the gas you save to
day will be stored against the time when your community
is experiencing a period of severe cold. Your Gas Com
pany will make suggestions as to how you can conserve
your supply.
Meanwhile, The Columbia Gas System is exerting every
possible effort to increase its production, its capacity, and to
obtain larger deliveries from its suppliers so that curtail
ment in time of weather crisis can be kept to a minimum.
