Our Water Problem
It appears that there must be something
in all the talk that goes about the entire
nation when discussing the urgency of water
problems, particularly from a local com
munity level.
Often, and too many times, people living
in areas such as Noble county and Caldwell,
fail to realize the impact of a water shortage
until the crisis hovers over our heads. Then,
it is too late, only to say "I told you so".
Shortage of water isn't exactly a new
topic of conversation for many of the older
residents of Caldwell. Those who can recall
the drought that levied its "stink" in 1931
consider that one as the worst. Then, the
only source was the waters of Duck creek
which one can readily appreciate now would
be a most unhealthy one. It was, indeed!
True it is, that the village has a sufficient
water supply to care for its present needs.
But the question is, should we rest there and
feel that we have done a job for the future?
Perhaps that is what we have decided to do
because our supply appears ample. Here is
where we could be wrong!
We, here in Noble county and Caldwell,
can take a good lesson from the experience
encountered by the people of the Youngs
town area. There they are faced with the
possibility of losing a $90 million General
Motors plant simply because they lack the
water supply to adequately serve the needs
.of a plant of such proportion. It could happen
here!
Another problem facing the village of
Caldwell at the lake is the ever-increasing
Marshal Jack Oliver, through this com
mittee, was instrumental in getting the busi
ness zone marked off for parking places and
lines drawn for pedestrians. Since the pedes
trian always has the right-of-way, local
officials are going to crack down on violators
with warnings and then a fine, if the motor
ist persists in this violation.
Although it was not a major safety
movement, Floyd Henderson just recently
accomplished something for the committee
that could mean a lot to the motorists. When
informed that a large pine tree, with low
hanging branches, was obscuring the view of
A GOOD CITIZEN
At Valley Forge in February
of this year, the George Wash
ington Honor Medal for 1955
was awarded to the Florida
Power & Light Company. This
is the top award given annual
ly by the Freedoms Founda
tion to the company which has
created the outstanding local
advertising program to create
greater appreciation of our
cherished freedoms.
The Florida Power & Light
Co. is justifiably proud of thi6
honor that has come its way
and has published a brochure
which carries reproductions of
the 16-page advertisements
which won the award for it.
The company was asked why
it spends hard-earned dollars
to advertise freedom when the
money might more profitably
be employed to advertise goods
or services. To this the com
pany replied that as a business
grows it assumes a role far
more important than that of
merely supplying goods or
services. This role is that of a
citizen of the community and
of the nation. Like all citizens,
a business has solemn respon
sibilities made heavier by vir
tue of its size and influence.
That is why Florida Power
& Light Company last year ran
those 16 advertisements and
why they will continue to run
similar advertisements during

Slow Down and Live
"Slow Down and Live" is the slogan
which the Noble County Traffic and Safety
committee adopted at their meeting Friday
evening and it is one which will require a
lot of action not only on their part but the
county as a whole.
Sheriff Donald Conaway hit the nail on
the head when he reported to the committee
that their actions would be for naught unless
they could get the public safety-conscious
and that should always be the objective of
this committee.
Small safety slogans were received from
the state committee and they will be placed
in the payroll check envelopes in the various
industrial plants of this section as the com
mittee's initial start in making the public
more safety-conscious on the highway.
"Drive defensively" is another aim of
the committee and they will attempt in
various ways to make the driver on the high
way mindful of the other fellow.

The 16 advertisements which
appeared in newspapers in the

flow of silt following rains and settling at
the bottom, resulting in filling up the
lake, to where in the future it can create a
most embarassing situation.
The late Ray Elswick, a most ardent
supporter for a fine water system, had per
haps the most intellectual approach to the
entire problem. He advocated the purchase
of all lands adjacent to the water site and
subsequently plant the entire area in trees.
This is the most natural way to combat the
flow of silt and eventually provide another
source of revenue for the water department.
Another approach to solving the local
water problem would be securing all the
land located between the spillway and USR
21. By constructing an impounding earth
dam at the point where the two natural hill
boundaries make the closest point of contact
in the valley, this would provide the village
with an abundance of water and a supply
second to none in the entire state of Ohio.
Cambridge followed a unique approach
in solving their water problem, by man
euvering the state into an advantageous posi
tion and establishing the watershed com­
referred to as Salt Fork. This will
enhance that community's bid for additional
industrial growth.
Water shortages aren't peculiar in Ohio,
of course. This is a national problem, and
it's growing worse all the time. We can help
ourselves by merely acting now and getting
the ball rolling for the acquisition of
additional ground for storing an adequate
water supply.

Henderson had the tree trimmed of these
branches and now a clear view at this inter
section can be obtained. Not much, you say,
but every little thing helps in a safety
campaign and should it prevent just one
accident, the project in itself was well worth
it.
The committee also plans to ask council
for permission to have the main control of
the traffic lights in the business zone placed
near the sheriff's office.
In the event of a fire, Sheriff Conaway
would then switch all the lights to red, in
order that through traffic would be stopped,
until the fire laddies had reached the station
and the fire truck was on its way to answer
the call.
It is imperative that members of the fire
department answer the call as quickly as
possible and in so doing, they disregard the
red lights.
As a safety measure, the committee
proposes that council should give Sheriff
Conaway the means and power to turn all
lights on red, thus stopping all other traffic,
until the fire truck is on its way.
The above safety suggestions are an
indication that although the safety and
traffic committee is still in its infancy and
small in numbers, they are progressing
toward their goal and every effort will be
made to at least have Noble Countians
safety-minded at all times.

REP. JOHN E. HENDERSON
Competition For Scientists
The United States is a strong
nation. It has tremendous mili
tary, air and naval strength. It
has international prestige. But
its position does not go unchal
lenged. The tremendous lead
that we once held is being nar
rowed as the world has gone
from an agricultural to an indus
trial economy. Today, the posi
tion of scientific and technical
personnel in Government as
sumes new importance so that
our nation may continue to lead
in the technical fields which are
so necessary in modern day
defense and standby readiness.
The Government, as well as pri
vate industry, must have top
level scientists and engineers.
A career with the government is
a good career and the employees
of the Federal Government, for
the most part, are enjoying the
same advantages as those who
are employed in private enter
prise. If this were not so, the
turnover in Government employ
ment would be much greater
than it is.
However, in this field of scien
tific and technical personnel, the
Goverament finds that it is not
keeping pace with private in
dustry. In testimony before the
House Post Office and Civil
Service Committee, perosnnel
directors of some agencies have
indicated that they are facing
terrific competition in recruit
ing and retaining vitally needed
scientific personnel. Private en
terprise is skimming off and lur
ing away some of the nation's top
technical personnel.
There is a tremendous amount
of loyalty toward the Govern
ment by some of these top men
and women. They have been, for
many years, serving the Govern
ment at salaries lower than they
could command in private enter
prise. It was pointed out to our
Committee that so long as this
differential is not too great, em
ployees tend to stay with the
Government. But when a top
flight scientist with his growing
family and the desire to own
better home and have a better
car sees that he could move from
his job in Government to one in
private industry at two or three
times the salary, it requires more
than a reasonable amount of
loyalty to keep him working for
the Government. For this reason
the Committee, at the conclusion
of the testimony, approved legis
lation which would provide
better pay for these top scientific
professional and technical per
sonnel.

BIRDS ARE CHOICEY
Something has changed the taste of our birds of late. For a long
time I have been feeding them old fashioned corn meal and they
came by droves to help themselves.
I enjoyed their visits very much for they came about the time
I ate my breakfast. They were a lot of company as I eat alone.
The other day I went into town and saw a new kind of bird
feed on display. It was some kind of a concoction prepared for the
birds by some government expert. So like all other Americans
thought I would give the birds a treat.
After placing a goodly portion in the bird feeder I went back
to the house to watch them go for it. To my dismay a bunch a birds
hurried .'nto the feeder house, looked around, scratched the feed all
over the place, stuck up their tiny noses and took to wing out for
the manure pile at the barn. They would have none of it.
It has been three days now since I put the new stuff out for
them and not a single bird has tasted it.
Even the crows that one time slipped in to grab a nibble or two
avoid the hill altogether. The woodpeckers won't even come near the
place now. The red birds and the blue birds won't even look at the
feeder box. The sparrows that eat most any thing are highly insulted.
Seems strange to me the Lord who looks after the birds doesn't
do more to help humans take care of themselves. Guess God intends
for man to use his own brain for he is a free moral agent so the
books say. I have a government cook book but I am going to take a
lesson from the birds and stick to ,the food that nature gives us and
prepare it the way mother did for nigh on to eighty years of her
life. The birds want nothing to do with government regulations, they
know if they did they would soon starve. They prefer to depend
upon to Lord.
Yours for bird wisdom

That new Dynaflow, for example, brings you

The new V8 engine is 322-eubic-inches big, and
