The

village school district board of
education has come up with a novel idea and we rather
imagine you will
be
newly organized Citizens Study committee
lu\Ct
Were
hearing a lot one of these days from a
u i ]^St .meeting of the board, the building needs of
thp ff
discussed-
Jhe.®f™us problem of not having adequate classrooms and
facilities necessary to house and educate the pupnTopula
tion of the district after September 1, 1956.
y
The board is faced with
accepting an overcrowded
condition the board feels that the school will be able to
unction durmg the next school year. However, beginning
Sept 1, 19o6, according to student population figures which
are now available, there will be a shortage of classrooms
in the present school buildings.

situation, the board agreed
be
aPP°inted
committee be directed to make a thorough study of the
Caldwell school housing conditions and present a report of

and that this
t0 1116
b°ard
and more
The idea of a Citizens Study Committee is not a new
one for it was tried very successfully in Williamstown,
rnu' Past few years and has done wonders.
u Through this committee, the community really got
behind the idea and much progress has already been made
in the schools and the civic improvement of the com
munity as well.
Supt. Webb said that it was folly for the citizens of
this community to wait until 1956 and then be forced to
accept any makeshift remedy to solve the situation.
If the organization of the Citizens Study committee
is perfected as soon as possible, there will be several
months available for meetings, study and planning the
entire situation.
The recommendations, of course, must be of a con
structive nature and so projected that the overcrowded
conditions of the present school system will be eliminated.
Thcie is also the strong possibility that at least one or
two county schools will be abolished within the next year
or and Caldwell could absorb, these"7 additional students,
if the facilities were available.
There is unlimited possibilities for this committee and
all organizations are urged to act immediately and appoint
Iheii two repi esentatives in# order that the organization
might start functioning.
The Lions club appointed Paul McVay and John W.
Hazard to the committee and their selections have already
been received by the school district.
Just vvhat final disposition will be taken by the board
of education to relieve the overcrowded conditions will
depend a great deal on the findings of this committee.
It should prove an important function to community
progress and needless to say, it is a badly needed one.
As the proposed committee begins to take shape, the
public in general will be kept informed and they, too, will
play an important part in the final analysis for regardless
of the findings of the committee or even the board of
education, they are worthless unless the community Gets
behind them.
A bigger and better Caldwell exempted village school
district will be the ultimate aim of the citizens committee,
the board of education and we hope—the community as
A Dime Multiplied Many Times
Can you imagine how many dimes it would take to
make up the staggering sum of $2,159.30.
Do you think that during the month of January, 21,
dimes will find their way into the containers which have
been placed in the various stores in the local business
district?
Have you yet contributed at least one dime or more
in this campaign to fight the ravages of polio in Noble
county, the state of Ohio and nation?
The people of Caldwell have been very fortunate as
community that during the past two years/polio has struck
down only one victim in its entire population.
But would you believe that the National Foundation
and Blue Cross have already spent $2,159.30 on this one ease
alone and the treatment still continues.
Figures released today by the local committee—in
their efforts to show the county as a whole how important
their contributions really are to a single case—read some
thing like this:
In August, 1953, the foundation paid a bill of $32.55 at
Marietta Memorial hospital. From Oct. 16, 1953 to Feb.
1954, the medical bill at University hospital,. Columbus,
amounted to $2,159,30. Of this amount, the Blue Cross paid
$895.80 and the foundation, $1,263.50. There is still an out
standing bill of $80.00 to be paid by the foundation for
additional treatment.
This is only one case but multiply it by hundreds
in the state and you will get, very roughly, an idea of the
importance of the National Foundation against polio.
You will be given many opportunities this month to
aid financially in this successful fight against polio.
For one hour only on the night of January 27,
mothers' march of dimes will be held here under
supervision of Mrs. Robert C. Moore.
You are urged now to participate and give liberally
that the good work of the foundation might be carried to
a successful conclusion.

Action oi Secretary of Agri
culture Ezra Benson in slashing
price supports on secondary
grain crops such as oats, barley,
rye and grain sorghums and corn
in non-commercial areas to 70%
of parity as compared to present
85% average, is added fuel to
the fire growing in the 84th con
gress over the farm price sup
port issue.
It will be remembered that
back in mfH-September this
column reported this action
would likely happen after the
election, when the Secretary
cancelled his total acreage allot
ment plan for basic crops, which
would have prohibited planting
these secondary crops on acreage
diverted from the basic crops.
The Secretary's recent action
will bring support prices on oats
down from 80c in 1953 to 61c in
1955 on Barley from $1.24 down
to 94c on rye, from $1.43 down
to $1.18 and on grain sorghums
from $2.43 down to $1.78.
Prices on corn in commercial
areas likely will be placed at
near 90% of parity in commer
cial areas, but the Secretary said
that corn price suppcirts in the
non-commercial areas likely
would equal the prices of
secondary grains, or 70% in non
commercial areas. However it is
this corn from commercial areas
that is in market competition
with oats, rye, barley and sorg
hums as cash crops. For corn
in non-commercial areas is most
ly fed on the farms where pro
duced and therefore relatively
unimportant in the cash market.
Supporter of the rigid 90% of
parity in the congress declare
action of Secretary Benson in
slashing price supports on these
secondary crops is in direct con

Mrs. Wm. Fleming,
Chairman
March of Dimes, 1955,
Enclosed is my contribution
to the March of Dimes for the
current campaign. It would be so
helpful if The Journal would
publish instructions as to best
way to send contributions.
We live on a bad road, no one
will contact us. So may I ask you
to handle this for me, and I'd
like it to be cashed soon as pos
sible and I thank you very much.
Mrs. Carrie H. Merritt,

Editor, Journal
Sir I have just finished read
ing the article by Uncle Sam
Stille, "WE ARE GROWING UP
which was most refreshing read
ing indeed, and quite a contrast
to so many editorials.
We find too much valuable
space used in painting a picture
of gloom and doom, with no
corresponding emphasis on the
good things of life.
It seems that the bad receives
more publicity than the good
when in reality there is more
good than bad to talk about, but
the minority who do wrong, too
often get the front-line news.
The Journal is to be commend
ed for giving space to the bright
er side of life-the good accom
plishments, with a glympse of
things to come, as presented by
the Koon Holler reporter.
While I am fully aware of all
surety.

THE AMERICAN WAT
A Look At 1955
Anyone who takes a good look
at 1955 must recognize the fact
that the cold war between Com
munism and Americanism is
reaching a critical stage.
A tremendous amount of pub
licity is given the sword-rattling
contests in Europe and Asia, but
our real danger does not come
from threats of foreign invasion—
it comes fromm the communistic
practices carried on by the bur
eaucratic empires that have been
developed here at home.
In 1952 the American people
rebelled against this bureaucratic
domination and elected an admin
istration and a Congress pledged
to a return of the American indi
vidual enterprise system.
In 1953, the first year of the
new regime, it looked like we
would achieve a return to the
American system. The Recon
struction Finance Corporation
was abolished because it was
corrupt, but the Small Business
Administration promptly replaced
it with corruption on a slightly
smaller scale.
The barge lines of the Inland
Waterways Corporation were
sold, cutting federal losses by a
million dollars a year and creat
ing new Upc revenue of better
than a million dollars a year.
American principles scored sev
eral such minor victories in 1953,
but before the process could take
form and really begin to amount
to much, therbureaucratic empire
builders recaptured control.
In 1954 every bill aimed at re
ducing or controlling bureaucracy
was either pigeon-holed or de
feated in committee. True, some
laundries-and other minor activi
ties were still being sold back to
the American people, but this
was more than offset by the
amazing victories by bureau
cracy.
The Commodity Credit Corpor
ation looted the treasury of a
half billion tax dollars with no
accounting required, and then
"borrowed" nearly four billion
more tax dollars—none of which
will ever be returned.
The corrupt foreign give-away
program of the Export-Import
Bank, which has been under fire
for years and scheduled to be
abolished, was rejuvenated and
given more tax billions to play
with.
In 1954 the federal power boys

In every age, there are those who are not content
with the humdrum, the commonplace.
If you are one of these, the Royal Lancer speaks
directly to your heart.
For here is a car that fairly breathes adventure.
You sense it in the bold forward thrust of its
hood, the sweep of rear deck, the rakish slant of
the New Horizon windshield.
Its beauty is not calm and placid, but eager and
alive—the measure of performance that stems
from the most advanced aircraft-typo V-8 engine
on the road.
And should you choose to make this car yours,
you will have this assurance: In any company of
automobiles, there is nothing to challenge the
distinction of your Royal Lancer by Dodge.

Our Wobbling World
Dear Editor:
Just read our earth shifts around sixty foot at the north pol«
in a 14 months cycle. Perhaps that accounts for the great faults or
weak places in the earth's surface that are found clear around the
globe. It could be that the earth is crystalizing and some dav will
fly to pieces like a great fly wheel that is off center. If you don't
have anything to worry about smoke, that in your pipe, for awhile.
We see so many drivers wobbling all over the highways. I
always thought it was because the driver had stopped at some
way side saloon and indulged in that stuff that kills judgement
and dulls the brain but it might be due to the fact that the old
world is wobbling.
Statesmen seem to be wobbling all over the map of present
day issues. They don't have a post to lean upon or a running board
of a car to sit or rest their feet while they sort of get back to a
poise. I always thought it was because they do not have real stuff
in their spine but it could be laid to the wobbly old worM.
Everybody everywhere is wobbling. There are so many ways
and so many sects and creeds so many fund raising cults etc, etc
that it is about time that this wobbly old world gets back on center.
Some tell us it will some day when enough of the ice cap melt§
but that gives us something else to worry about for the oceans
will rise and flood much of the inland lands. So you jlist can't
win. May as well not worry at all about any thing.
Your for less wobbling,
