THE ANNUAL POLIO DRIVE
We all pride ourselves on being neighborly. Within the
circle of our community, the helping hand is extended to
those in distress.
That was demonstrated just a week ago when the VFW
post prepared baskets of food and toys for 48 various needy
children in the county.
But being a good neighbor in just our own community
is some times not enough. There are many mutual problems
facing all of us that can be solved only on a national level.
The scourge of polio is one problem that cannot be
solved locally. Victory can be won only if every community
voluntarily supports a coordinated national attack against
Sp disease. This requires a national organization to lead
fight.
For 16 years the national foundation and its county
chapters have spear-headed the attack against polio. It is
a purely voluntary organization financed solely by the
March of Dimes. It grew out of the recognition of millions
of
people that polio could be conquered only through an
expensive and expansive effort.
This is the American way of doing things, as opposed
to the totalitarian way in which government does it all and
people must simply accept what is done.
Some people believe that neighborliness should stop at
the borders of their own community. They would have the
government take over all large health and welfare programs.
As President Eisenhower recently said when talking
about voluntary agencies: "The slogan of a true democracy
is not—Let the Government do it. The true slogan is—Let's
do it Ourselves."
The 16th March of Dimes is just starting. It may well
be
the most significant one ever held. The announcement of
a
new program—Polio Prevention—with a trial vaccine to
be
tested this year—may mean a grim and expensive battle
soon won. Victory seems close but it can only be reached if
We
all dig down and give more than ever before.
Here is our chance to be good neighbors on a national
siale and prove that the spirit of voluntary cooperation is
a
mighty weapon against disease and disaster.
Mrs. William Fleming is chairman of the women's
activities for Noble county and she has perfected an organ
ization in e^ery one of the 15 townships.
She has already spent several months in this prepare
tion and laying the ground floor for a good and active
organization.
She can only do so much. The rest is entirely up to you.
In various communities, the drive is now on and you may
be solicited any day of this week or next.
In Caldwell a Mother's porch light parade is again
planned for Thursday ^evening, Jan. 28. It is understood
that Summerfield will hold a similar parade and other com
munities such as Dexter City and Sarahsville.
There has been no definite goal set for the county but
every dollar or dime will be greatly appreciated.
From a local standpoint, the March of Dimes will
honor Mrs. Paul Moore, who was stricken several months
ago—the first mother in Noble county. She is now receiving
treatment at the University hospital, Columbus.
Dana Morrison, of Harriettsville, was stricken about
four years ago and these are the only two cases in Noble
county.
Because Noble Countians have been so fortunate in
escaping the dread disease, they should go all out in showing
this appreciation by contributing to the fund this month.
Donald L. Harkins will serve as treasurer during the
campaign and groups can make their checks payable to him
for this purpose.
A special benefit basketball game will be held Thursday
evening, Jan. 14 at the Caldwell high school gym and ail
proceeds will be turned over to the fund. It is under the
management of Gerald Ramsey.
It is also expected that the theatres will again cooperate
by taking up collections as will the children in the Caldwell
and Noble county system.
These last two sources always do much to swell the
final tabulation when the campaign is over.
The success or failure of the 16th March of Dimes
campaign is this county rests solely on you and you. Plan
now to make it a banner one.
A HELPING HAND
There is every indication that the people of Summer
field will receive a helping hand from the Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio in the latter's efforts to prevent
another gas shortage such as occurred there several weeks
ago.
A representative of the commission was brought to the
community last week thru the efforts of Rep. Edmund
.James, who strongly believes that any problem in any com
^.vnity thruout Noble county is his and he acts immediately,
Rep. James was very fortunate in obtaining a represen
tative from the commission so quickly and he was down
here several days the past week, looking the situation over
and obtaining necessary papers from the residents. He was
accompanied on these trips by Rep. James.
Summerfield residents were hard hit by
age and during the next three months, they
a repeat performance.
And there won't be any, if Rep. James can prevent it,
for
he has answered the call of a community in distress and
is doing everything possible as their representative to dis
charge a duty to these people whom he has otherwise so
capably represented in the state legislature the past year.
We have every confidence in Rep. Jai^cs and we know
that
the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio will heed the
call
of these people and prevent undue suffering from
cold and resultant gas shortage

Question: If a person with a
living companion (though
divorced) marries a person who
has no living companion, which
one is guilty of adultery?
Answer:' This question of
divorce and remarriage keeps
coming up in one form or an
other. The only answer that can
be given is that Both are quilty
of adultery according to the
word of God. Notice Matt. 19:9,
"And I say unto you, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, except
it be for fornication, and shall
marry another, committeth

Bible Questions

Question: Does God command
us to keep the Sabbath? What is
the blessing for so doing?
Answer: Yes God does cer
tainly command us to keep the
Sabbath. The fourth command
ment very definitely says in
Evodus 20:8, "Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six
days shall shalt thou labor, and
do all thy work." The blessing
of God certainly follows those
who carefully observe this as
well as all of God's laws. In
Isaiah 56:2 we read, "Blessed is
the man that doeth this, and the
son of man that layeth hold on
it: that keepeth the sabbath
from polluting it, and keepeth
his hand from doing evil." Again
in Isaiah 58:13, 14 we read, "If
thou turn away thy foot from
the sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day and
call the sabbath a delight, the
holy of -the Lord, honourable
and shalt honour him, not doing
thine own ways, nor finding
thine own pleasure, nor speak
ing thine own words: Then shalt
thou delight thyself in the
Lord ana I will cause thee to
ride upon the high places of the
earth, and feed thee with the
heritage of Jacob thy father: for
the mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it." Keep the Sabbath
day holy by all means.
WITH A
adultery, and whoso marrieth
her which is put away doth com
mit adultery." In Luke 16:19 we
also read, "Whosoever putteth
away his wife, and marrieth an
other, committeth adultery: and
whosoever marrieth her that is
put away from her husband com
mitteth adultery." How careful
people should be about thin
awful sin, and how careless
many are. Many do not know
God's word and get thus tangled
up, and the devil tells them that
they can never get free. Again
the devil is a liar, John 8.44.

With Jan. 1 and a rise in Social
Security tax rates on payrolls
only a matter of days away, the
House Ways and Means Subcom
mittee on Social Security re
leased letters from persons over
65 asking that something be
done about raising the ceiling on
the amount of money a person
can earn before benefits under
the Old Age and Survivors In
surance System are stopped. The
present limit of $75 a month for
work covered by Social Security
apparently is not enough to get
the job done, citizens believe.
Rep. Herman P. Eberharter
(D Pa.) turned loose a few barbs
to indicate that he felt com
mittee's minority members were
not being properly recognized.
He termed it "very unusual pro
cedure" that testimony of Philip
Vogt, administrator of the Doug
las County, Neb., Welfare Ad
ministration, was released to the
press before Vogt actually testi
fied.
In answer, Subcommittee
Chairman Carl T. Curtis (R
Neb.) said the Vogt release had
been prepared in advance of the
hearing after a conference be
tween the Subcommittee staff
and Vogt. Angier L. Goodwin
(R Mass.) also a Subcommittee
man member, defended the Com
mittee by stating that the hear
ings were conducted "to bring
out the facts as to the work
ability of the system." The re
cord will speak for itself, he
said, and will prove "there is no
intention of breaking up social
security, but of trying to im
prove it."
All this manuevering interest
ed Mr. Average Citizen, who will
see more of his paycheck go into
social security taxes in the days
ahead. Of great interest also
were the findings reported by an
insurance company after a study
of what happens to the social
security dollar. According to this
report, 17 billion dollars, or
roughly two-thirds of the 24
billion dollars collected in Fed
eral payroll taxes during 16
years of the Social Security
program, has been used to pay
general expenses of the U. S,
Government, from lead pencils
to submarines.

THE AMERICAN WAY
MORE MISTAKES
American businessmen have
made mistakes—find an individ
ual who has not made mistakes
and you will uncover a man who
has never accomplished any
thing. Like any other group of
Americans, business leaders are
not infallible the chances are
that they never will achieve that
idealistic state.
Because this nation was
ploughing new ground, it was
inevitable that along with the
great progress made there would
be some mistakes. But when we
compare the errors of our busi
nessmen with their achieve
ments, we find a thousand-and
one beneficial accomplishments
lor every blunder.
In almost every decade of
American history, mistake-mak
ing businessmen have increased
wages to employees while de
creasing the cost of products and
services to the American people
thereby greatly raising the
standard of living and the de
gree of human comfort.
Yet, one of the unfortunate
aspects of American life during
the past two or three decades
has been the persistent smear
ing of businessmen. It came to
the point where it was almost
necessary for an individual to
apologize for being a business
man. Had this not been so tragic
as concerning the future of our
country, this attitude toward
business leaders would have
been laughable. Thank goodness,
this animosity is on the wane,
and a businessman no longer
need hang his head as he con
fesses he is engaged in trade and
commerce.- Mr. Average Citizen
has come to the conclusion that
business is doing a mighty good
job, and that a businessman is
a respectable and useful citizen.
While businessmen have stead
ily reduced their costs and
prices to the consuming public,
politicians have done just the
opposite. That should constitute
the final argument against Gov
ernment engaging in any busi
ness that rightfully belongs in
the province of private enter
prise. Yet, many of our politi
cians are planning to further
molest and harass the business
men, and ty further enthrone
centralized power at Washing
ton under which the individual
gradually will have less and less
responsibility and the Govern
ment eventually would assume

CREEPING SOCIALISM
Dear Editor:
One reason why socialism is so deadly is the fact that it MM
not strike like lightning nor does it cover a land like a rising flood.
It does not darken the heavens as did Pharaoh's locust. It does not
demand complete surrender of the individual's right as in a holdup
or robbery.
Socialism is the creeping paralysis of individual rights. It starts
its deadly work in such a manner that the individual is not aware
of its actions in any way, shape, or manner.
The greatest force on this earth is complete individualism, so
complete that there is no power between God and man. God is
supreme, is Infinite and eternal. God is the only power that is abso
lute and beyond finite conception.
This being true, man needs no other power save the power of
God. The only reason we have any form of government at all is in
order that man be protected in his absolute individualism. Man
needs no other rule of life than to attune himself with God, to de
velop God in himself, unmolested by any other individual or group
of individuals. Of all things known on this earth, past, present, or in
the future, there is no force equal to the unlimited power of indi
vidualism under complete control complete control hy the indi
vidual and net by any external force whatsoever.
Socialism would utterly destroy this almost heavenly attribute
of man. Under socialism the individual does not exist. It is des
troyed by dry rot, the mind disintergrates, ambition vanishes, and
man becomes an automat a disgrace to himself and an Insult to
God.
Let's keep our individualism,
