TAKE A TEN MINUTE BREAK
The next time the fire whistle blows in Caldwell take
a ten minute break and then get in your car and go to the
scene of the fire.
This ten minutes will allow members of the Caldwell
volunteer fire department to man their posts and be at the
scene of the conflagration at least two minutes before the
general stampede begins.
The fire department had one heck of a time getting to
the fire last Saturday afternoon when a pile of old rubber
tires was blazing at the Ernest Stritz junk yard, north of
Caldwell, on U. S. Route 21.
The billows of dense black smoke easily identified the
source of the fire and many local residents hopped in their
cars and jammed the highway before the volunteer firemen
could get the truck out and be on their way.
In no sens§ of the word is this a good policy for the thrill
seeker is only impeding the progress of the fire department
and holding back their efforts to prevent additional damage
from the blaze.
Sheriff Donald Conaway announced only last week that
such a policy should be stopped, immediately following the
fire at the Raymond Dennis farm on Monday night a week
ago. Once again traffic was so snarled that the fire boys had
trouble getting to the scene.
In spite of the warning, an identical situation occurred
last Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock when the fire whistle
blew.
The chemical truck answered the original call and it
was then necessary to bring out the big truck. The driver
of the fire engine said that he was forced to drive the entire
way on the left side of U. S. Route 21 to get to Florence
Addition, due to a solid line of cars.
"Take a ten minute break" is the best solution that we
can recommend for the moment.
We lyiow that each one of us is guilty and curiosity
will get the better of us each time and away we speed to
the fire. Not that we can do any good or even have this in
mind.
Hereafter we must think first of the fire department.
It is doubly important that all traffic lanes be left open for
the fire truck.
If the "ten minute break" doesn't work at future fires
then law officials are going to crack down on all violators
whether they be business men or just school kids. In any
case, both are just in the way, when the fire whistle blows
This is in sharp contrast to the situation which now pre
vails in neighboring McConnelsville.
Last week the Twin Cities had a call and the fire engine
responded in exactly four minutes. In other words they got
there first not the town people.
McConnelsville respects their fire department. They
follow the fire truck. They don't lead it.
In less than one week, there have been two fires in Cald
well, one with a loss of some $20,000 only partially coverec
by insurance.
The next one may be your home or business place. Plan
now to take that "ten minute break" when the fire siren
blows again.
It is for your protection and will aid immeasureably the
efforts of the Caldwell volunteer fire department.

recreational advantages of Caldwell and Noble county, has

industrial leaders for this district and southeastern Ohio for
the sole purpose of selling Noble county thru words anc
pictures.
It is complete with-many pictures of leading local in

It has been estimated that 160 hours were donated by
volunteer workers in this county last Thursday when tin
blood center arrived here, in addition to the hours spent in
recruiting, scheduling, telephoning, preparing the food and
preparation of the church by the custodian.
Although the quota was set for 125 pints, the response
of the people in this county in giving 105 pints was doubl
that of any neighboring county on any side of us.
It will be remembered that 148 pints were donated in
January which makes a total of 253 for the two visits oi
three pints over the total quota.
The third and final visit of the Red Cross blood center
to this county for 1953 will be made on Sept. 17.

WASHINGTON AND OHIO
In the autumn of 1770 Washington left his Mount Vernon home
to take a trip into the Ohio country.
He traveled the Old Braddock Trail to Fort Pitt where he was
joined by Colonel William Crawford. From this point in a large
canoe with several friends he drifted down the Ohio. On the way
several stops were made, recording observations^
At the Great Kanawha, they made camp for several days
where Washington located a tract of 10,000 acres for himself.
Part of the trip Washington and Crawford made on foot in
order to gain a more thorough knowledge of the country.
Washington was delighted with the trip and later during the
Revolution when victory seemed uncertain he contemplated, in case
of failure, to build an American government in the Northwest.
Later the settling and development of this vast territory held,
the keenest interest of the Father of our Country. Many letters
are on file attesting to his concern as to the welfare of the settlers
There are many monuments along the Ohio River marking tho
places where Washington landed and camped in this Historic
journey.
If Washington could return to this territory today, he would
find his expectations fulfilled beyond his fondest dreams.

THE AMERICAN WAY
TRUE LIBERALISM
The battle to decide whether
socialization of the development
of electric energy is to be ex
panded in America, continues.
But the fortunes of war seem to
be swinging toward private en
terprise, as public opinion makes
its voice felt, that further Fed
eral Government production and
sale of electric power must be
halted.
The U. S. Supreme Court has
heard this voice and heeded it.
On March 16, the private deve
lopers won an important round
when the Supreme Court rend
ered a 6-3 decision, settling a
four-year controversy between
the Department of the Interior
and the Federal Power Commis
sion over whether a private pow
er company should be licensed to
build a multi-million dollar hy
droelectric plant at Roanoke
Rapids, North Carolina.
This decision permits the Vir
ginia Electric and Power Com
pany to proceed with building a
plant at Roanoke Rapids which
will cost in excess of 27 million
dollars, with a capacity of 91,000
kilowatts. While this is a relative
ly small project in comparison
with some other electric power
developments, the decision to let
this private company proceed
with the job is of great signifi
cance. It pretty much opens the
door to private development of
areas approved by Congress for
Government flood control pro
jeets that are not yet under way
Groups in California and other
parts of the country have been
awaiting such a decision in hopes
of building dams "set aside" by
Congress.
On April 11, 1953, America's
elder statesman, Herbert Hoover
ex-president of the U.S.A., at the
Diamond Jubilee of Case Institute
of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio
devoted his address to "Socializa
tion of Electric Power." Said Mr
Hoover, "In the field of Federal
Electric Power, we have an ex
ample of twenty years of creep
ing socialism with a demonstra
tion of its results."
He pointed out that under the
initiative of free men, we deve
loped a technology and use
electricity far beyond any othei
country that private enterprise
had proved it could keep ue
with demand and that power

at one-third of the price of thirl.\

modities and wages have incre is

Concern is being expressed in
many quarters about the nation's
economy. The question has been
asked: Will peace, if it comes,
also mean depression?
It is generally believed, Con
gressional Quarterly reports after
rn extensive survey of federal
agencies, that the remainder of
1953 will see a healthy economy,
although U. S. economy has been
closely attuned to the defense
program. Cutbacks: in that pro
gram will mean some economic
adjusting, but it should not mean
a depression in 1953.
The survey, however, indicat
ed that the prospects for 1954 are
less certain, and that there may
be a major test of the nation's
economic strength in 1955, when
defense spending is expected to
level off.
It is the projected transition
from a defense to a civilian econ
omy that marks 1955 as a crucial
year. A recession would be en
tirely possible if civilian markets
are unable to expand enough to
take up the slack left by a de
cline in the defense build-up,
Congressional Quarterly reports.
Peace in Korea might also
mean lower taxes and this would
help ease business and the con
sumer over the drop in demand
and in available money. The
trend could also include an in
crease in public works con
struction.
But the years after 1953 will
present economic problems to
industry, the consumer and gov
ernment alike.
Meanwhile, the world watch
ed for new Russian peace bids
and heard President Eisenhower
outline a plan for peace. The
President in a speech before the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors challenged the Russians
to end the Korean War, agree to
disarmament and the unification
of Korea and Germany and to

LEARNING TO LIVE
It sure does take a long time to know how to live half way de
cent inthis world. We are taught so many things that we must un
learn as we grow older that it takes twenty years to unlearn the
things we learned in the first twenty. That makes forty years, all
told. Ten more years and we are fifty. A half century passes before
we learn the simplest things of life.
If at the beginning of life we were taught that God is love and
that love is the great physician of life, we would be saved from a
heap of pitfalls along the way. If a youth were taught the power
of life, he would never allow his temper to get the best of him he
would never permit his mind to dwell upon hate and revenge.
Every child in the land should be taught the tragedy of bad
temper and harboring hate. These two evils are responsible for
most human ills, physically, mentally, and spiritually. If a person
is steeped in hate and resentment, it is not long before he has
ulcers of the stomach a little farther along he develops cancer and
just a bit farther he finds an open grave—and an early one at that.
Such a person not only ruins his own life but harms all othei^
lives that come in contact with him. The ancient Chinese people
have a saying, "He who preaches the message of hate digs two
graves."
