GET OUT AND VOTE
Whether you are for the Caidwell school bond issue or
against it, whether you would like to see a state board of
education formed or prefer to let it remain as it is, the
important thing is not how you vote but did you vote?
There is entirely too much laxity in Noble county and
the state as a whole on the part of the people when it comes
to an off-year election.
Our very government derives its foundation from this
level and it is very important that residents of Noble county
keep this in mind and go to the polls next Tuesday.
We don't care whether you vote for John Jones or
Pete Dawson for trustee. At least you voted. You were
sufficiently^ interested to take a few minutes off from the
daily grind, to visit the polls and cast your vote.
Would that be asking too much of you as an individual,
when you will spend five times that long going to Columbus
to see Ohio State play or attending the ice follies in that city.
There is nothing more important in this nation of ours
today than the right to vote. Take that away from an
individual and the Iron Curtain will become a reality.
Plenty of ballots have been printed for every township
and school district in this county for the election next
Tuesday. But we bet that only about half this number will
be used. Why?
There is no reason for you or any one else to believe
that your schedule is so tight that it won't permit a minute
or two to cast your vote. That is a silly reason.
Noble Countians will receive several ballots including
the blanket size questions and issues, which contains
amendments and changes on a state level. It will include
Amendment 2, creating a state board of education, which
should be supported locally.
Then there will be the village ballot, the township
ballot, the school ballot and special questions and issues,
which includes the $250,000 bond issue for the Caldwell
exempted village school district.
A small army of judges and clerks has been selected to
carry out the election duties next Tuesday at the various
precinct voting places in the county.
A special meting of the board of elections will be held
Thursday evening of this week at which time the supplies
will be packed for the precinct workers.
The board has been instructed by the state to count
out the questions and issues first and these instructions
will be passed on to the precinct workers.
It will probably be the wee small hours of the morning
before any important local issue will be counted.
Once more we urge you to take at least 20 minutes out
next Tuesday and cast your ballot.
Vote as you see fit but be sure and vote. It is the
American Way of Life, it is your heritage. Don't abuse it
by staying away from the polls next Tuesday.
Support the:school bond issue iti Caldwell. It is? your
duty to your children.

ODDS WERE AGAINST HIM
The odds were all against Coach Tom Saunders Friday
evening when he sent his spirited squad of Caldwell Red
skins against the league leading Philo Electrics.
Other than the team and the coach, there wasn't a
spectator who went to the game who felt that Caldwell had
a chance against the strong Philo eleven.
But they reckoned not with Coach Saunders, who
found a way to take the shock out of the Philo Electrics
and did it in such a convincing manner that no' one could
say it was a fluke.
The Redskins played heads-up ball all the way and
Friday evening they couldn't do a thing wrong.
They outplayed the league leaders in every department
and by their victory threw the race into a mad scramble
that could end just about anyway.
Win, lose or draw in their next three games, Coach
Saunders and his 1953 edition of the Caldwell Redskins
have won their spurs with this victory last Friday evening.
It also puts Coach Saunders in a class all by himself.
It ranks him as one of the most outstanding football coaches
in the history of Caldwell high school.
It has given him a boost that we must consider a per
sonal victory for this young man.
He is first, last and always a great fotball coach. The
credit belongs to him and to him alone, and his squad of
strong hearted Redskins.

and his first (and only) official

was to announce in a loud, clear
voice: "I hereby declare today

Knowing Miss Gilbert, the real

me that she laughed as hard as
anybody else .. and said to go
right ahead.

WILLIAM HEWIT, THE HERMIT
1764- 1834
In the early part of the eighteenth century, travelers of the
Yokum Trace were often astonished at coming suddenly upon a
wild-looking man clad in buckskin from head to foot. He stood
over six feet tall, was broad shouldered, and weighed more than
two hundred pounds. He wore long hair and a great shaggy beard.
He was armed with a rifle, tomahawk, and large hunting knife.
At first people were greatly frightened and alarmed when the
word was whispered about that a strange wild man lived in a cave
who held a bitter grudge against all human beings. This fear, how
ever, was short lived, for it soon became known that this man was
a kindly soul whose highest ambition was ty tend strictly to his
own business with the expectation that all others do the same.
The story generally accepted is that Mr. Iiewit was of an old
Virginia family who had married within his rank, but on returning
home from a trip found his wife in the company of another man,
whom he killed, and then fled into the unsettled west, seeking
refuge from the law.

THE JOUBNAL MAIL BAG--
Desit Editors:
Assuming that others who
openly express their dis-satis
faction with the manner in
which Halloween (The eve of all
Saints) is so improperly cele
brated by certain "trick or treat"
youngsters thruout this broad
land of ours, I sometimes wonder
why these undue annoyances are
not agreeably eliminated. The
fact that this practice is carried
on night after night, time
and again, lends to increase the
pressure and causes our elderly
people a deal of anxiety and
grave forbodings.
Personally, I am a lover of
youth and they have been kind
and good to me. However, the
point to be solved is this: Is it
right or wrong in principle and
does it convey a questionable in
fluence over the young folks
themselves. Doesn't it seem to
show a lack of sympathy and
respcct to elderly people who
perhaps are already carrying a
load of care and responsibilities.
To be sure, we want our young
folks to enjoy life in the full but
please reserve your respect and
kindly consideration to our old
folks to whom you owe so much.
Avoid any act or deed that will
cause them suspense, irritation
and in many instances, harmful
results.
We hear so much talk about
juvenile delinquency these days
and rightly so but this old fossil,
the writer of this article, is not
ready to concede that our youth
is entirely responsible for this
alarming situation. No sir, home
training is being sadly neglected.
It is time, the hour has struck
for the parents to pitch in and
fulfill their responsibilities.
I have unbounded faith and
hope in our youth if you parents
will only stop, look and listen
So long now, young folks, and
may God bless you and watch
.over you.
Sincerely
F. E. Hare,
Summerfield, Ohio
Editor, Journal
In "Emmer Bond's weekly
column." which is always so in
teresting, I was greatly impress
ed by the "You carjnot reach the
top without help, but can fall to
the bottom alone." This tremend
ously true in at least two areas
of life.
(1) First there is the areas of
individual progress, and attain
ment. In the area of individual
accomplishment there has to be
a spirit of aggressive individual
ism. However, the spirit of in
dividualism is indebted to others
for the many helpful lifts given
-with a $2.95 infra-red lamp
W
It owes so much to others.
(2) Second the area of gov
ernment. In this connection, we
are thinking of good govern
ment, representative of every
segment of the population gov
ernment of the people, by the
people, for the people. Good
government thinks of ttffe well
being of all the people, not
merely the well being of isolated
groups and classes, all the citiz
enry of the nation rich and poor
alike.
The concept of government as
held and proclaimed by Lincoln
is good government indeed, be
cause it includes the whole, not
a fragment of the population.
How is this kind of govern
ment attained? Does, it come
sorely through the vision and by
the work of a few?
Not at all, for a few men act
uated with the highest motives
of good government, cannot of
themselves bring it to pass, it
requires the help and co-opera
tion of all the rest of us. It is the
job of all not of a few.
The few who have the dreams
of representative government—
cannot make it a reality without
the hearty cooperation and
action of the many. Surely we
a^ree that the best in govern
ment is attainable only as we
all cooperate to make it so.
It is our job, as well as the
job of those in Washington!
When we all do our bit and put
in our best, we can attain the
highest in government.
When we split off into indep
endent factions interested only
in our economic advancement
and have no concern for the rest
of the nation, we are making rep
resentative government difficult
and are directly or indirectly
causing others to suffer.
Good government is a partner
ship,
as against mere partisan
ship.
"All free governments, what
ever their name, are in reality
governments by public opinion:
and it is on the quality of this
public opinion that their pros
perity depends."—J. R. Lowell.
"Nothing will ruin the coun
try if the people themselves will
undertake its safety nothing can
save it if they leave that safety
in any hands but their own."—
Daniel Webster.
Good government is the affair
of each one of us—let bend our
energies toward making it so.

With the temperature below freez
ing and the little pigs arriving, young
farmer Billy Laprade ran back to the
house to get the infra-red lamp and
extension cord.
Within a few minutes he set it up
and he credits it with helping the little
pigs dry and keep warm as soon as th °y
were born.
The Laprade family raises about 8
litters of pigs a year and Billy says,
"I figure we save up to $100 per litter
by having the lamps installed during
cold weather."
You can get the same money-saving
results by using infra-red lamps. For

out with something. It isn't energy,
for they don't like to work any too well. But they are bustin'
how.
Here is an example. Bob Dolittle got him a second-hand car
paid eighty dollars for it. Pretty good car for the shape it was in.
He had it one day and traded it for another one that was in worse
shape. The fellow he traded with blew up the motor the first day.
Bob Dolittle took his old car out and the first day he rammed
into a large walnut tree and caved the front end in. It would still
run after a fashion. The next day he backed into a three-foot syca
more and caved in the hind end. The next day he sideswiped a
gate post and caved in one side, and that evening he was hit smack
dab on the other side and caved it in. Next morning he sold it for
junk and lost thirty dollars. He's out now looking for another
car,
just bustin' to bust up another one.
It is not so bad when these fellows keep their bustin'
their own cars, but when they start bustin' other cars on the high
way that is something else. If you want to know how that works,
just read the smashup figures for this long week-end holiday. It
is
simply criminal.
Let us keep in mind that as long as the state will issue licenses
to people who do not have brains enough to run a wheelbarrow,
bustin' up of cars and killing people will go on and on.
Yours fur .sanity in driving. Uncle Sam Stille
