^Thursday, November 22J_1956__^ This is particularly true in Noble county where Sarahsville, Dexter City and Cald well are sharing honors with 30 students taking part in the contests. Sarahsville schools went all out this year with 18 young people involved in the pre liminary contests. They have been under the supervision of Verna Guiler. In Caldwell, there were nine students and they are being coached by Mrs. Rama Steen. The local contests are now being held and the winners will compete next month for county honors. This contest will be held in the local Methodist church and the winner will receive a silver medal and be eligible to represent this section in a district contest Christmas Seal Salt1 State subsidy payments to counties in the fight against tuberculosis were more than a quarter-million dollars lower in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1956 than they were in the previous year, according to a report released by Auditor James A. Rhodes. Every county in the southeastern Ohio hill country, except Belmont, shows an increase in days spent in sanatoriums by TB patients. This is attributed in part to the early detection of tuberculosis by x-ray mobile units offering free chest x-rays to the general public. The unit in this community is sponsored by the Noble county health association, who has already started their annual campaign to raise funds through the sale of Christmas seals. Another such unit is scheduled for Noble county in April of next year and it is completely financed by the sale of the Thanksgiving, As a community, the year has been a very uneventful one from an industrial -standpoint and we hsrve more or less stood still in this direction. However, the committee is still work ing and running down every lead and it is for these continued activities behind the scenes that we as a community should be thankful for. It is nice to know there is a very small group of men, who are always on the alert HOW TO HELP FOREIGN NATIONS U. S. businessmen have been and are showing our give-away Federal Government just how America can really hefp the less fortunate and favored na tions of the world. Surely, by this time, it must be beginning1 to dawn on our generous legislators and bur eaucrats that giving' the hard earned money of the American taxpayers to underprivileged has won us no friends—that, as a matter of fact, the reverse unfortunately has been true in all too many cases—America has lost friends, if not having sowed the seeds for outright enemies. In a sense, America has a bull by the tail and is afraid to let go. As with an individ ual, so it is with a nation. Just let the donor discontinue dish ing out and in the eyes of the former recipient, the former donor becomes the biggest "heel" in recorded history. But while Federal Govern ment has 'been messing up our relations with foreign nations iy its mistaken policy of hand outs, American businessmen have been making friends for us. In 1946, the year following World War II, $7.2 billion of l'. S. investors' money was in ested over the globe just nine years later, at the end of 1955, this had grown to the .lmost unbelievable sum of ^19.2 billion.

This is the season when you should count your many blessings and there are a number of things that each individual reader can be thankful for this week as we observe the traditional feast of the Pilgrim Fathers. COVERS MoBL^^ouNTy LIK£ T-H-E SuNfutN-z.*— of Peace Hundreds of young people in practically every community of the state are entered in the annual Prince of Peace contests which are now being held on a local level. Tiie American Way follows: Canada—$6.5 billion, Latin America—$6.7 billion, Western Europe—$3.0 billion, Africa—$774 million, India— $96 million, Middle East—$1 billion, Japan—$126 million, Australia and New Zealand— $536 million and other areas— $240 million. These investments abroad by American businessmen are not induced by hearts bleeding for the poor peoples of the world —they are made in the hope of making a profit. So far that hope is being realized—last year they earned a record $2.8 .billion, almost 15 percent on their direct foreign invest ments. This compares with 12.6 percent on their investments in this country. Now, of course, there has been some slight grumbling in some of these countries where American industries have built plants, the usual charge of Yankee imperialispi, but for the most part the American dollar has been welcomed with open arms and profits thereon have not been begrudged. As a matter of fact, a number of foreign countries have even set up oi'ganizations whose one purpose is to persuade Amer ican business to build addi tional plants in their countries. The benefits of American dollars to these countries go far beyond the immediate em ployment of their citizens. A considerable portion of raw materials and supplies is pur chased within these countries, thus helping to further in crease employment and pay- rj 11.<p></p>JOITRNAL A NEWSPAPF I N AND FOR CAI DWELL AND NOBLE PRINTED EVERY THURSDAY AT CALDWELL, Office: 309 Main Street Telephone 98 Ad Independent Democrat new .-paper that goe« Into the hu«M N«M* County and c*vera the Caldwell business none like tha Caldwell, Noble Bail matter under Published by The Caldwell Journal Publishing Co., Inc.

It is the training behind these Prince of Peace contests that is especially noteworthy for weeks of preparation are required before the contestant appears in public to vie for top honors. It is very good training in speech delivery and one which should have the support of every school in the county. If a local contestant should ever get to the top level, he or she would be eligible for a cash prize and a college scholarship. The goal is a worthy one but the train ing which they receive on the local or county level is equally as important. As a matter of fact, it would be an excel lent idea if every other school in the county would participate in this Prince of Peace contest next year and really make things hum for the young people as they learn delivery* stage technique and the importance of appearing before an audience. Christmas seals. Depending on the number of days spent in a community, such a project usually will cost over $1,200 and all the money must be raised within the next few weeks by the sale of the Xmas seals. All seals and bonds for the current campaign have been placed in the mails anc a few have already returned their contribu tions. Local residents are urged to use the seals as often as possible and particularly during the heavy Christmas mailing season which is just around the corner. Under the law, the state auditor is required to pay to a county $2.50 a day for each patient hospitalized in a county tuber culosis sanatorium, and $1.25 a day to county commissioners for each patient in private sanatorium if the county is legally obligated to pay for care and treatment. for a possible new industry and will follow every lead until it peters out or another community gets the nod.

They do not make them big enough. Just read of one called "The Blue Bird Week." During this week you are supposed to do what you can for the Blue birds as the Lord is overburdened with so many other matters. There is Safe Driving Week, Constitution Week, Night Crawl ers Week, Old Age Week, American Week, Shoe Week, Health Week, Heart Week, Liver Week, Brain Week, Lung Week, Eye Week, Tree Week, Country Week, Dog Week and it could go on and on. Aftr giving all these weeks a careful thought I came to the con clusion that in spite of all the difficult brain work spent in thinking up these countless weeks for the weak they overlooked the most important of all. I woul like to make a suggestion to the mighty brain trusters that a certain week of the year if there is one left be set aside for a NO GOSSIP WEEK. Just think of it—one entire week of seven days and nights in which there would be no gossip. Dont' know what some people would do with themselves during that time. It would be a tremendous task for some people to mind their own business for one week—due to the fact they have no business to mind. Now when you tell your neighbor about this No Gossip Week please keep in mind I told you net to tell so be an honest person and tell the one you tell it to to be sure and not to *nil it to on one else. You know the system I am sure. One of the proposals which will be made to the Legislature is that they consider the desir ability or possibility of enacting laws to allow persons who form erly resided in Ohio but have just recently moved to another state and have not lived in that state long enough to gain voting rights there, to vote by Ohio WWe E DON MEAN Uncle Sam Stille Your Election Laws Having just passed one of the most complex elections in the history of Ohio, the 88 county Boards of Elections are being asked to review the efficiency of elections in their county and the effectiveness of the election laws as applied to local condi tions. These reports will be taken before a legislative com mittee comprised of election of ficials from a representative group of counties. They will be asked by the Secretary of State to review the findings of the Boards of Elections and make suggestions to the Legislature for possible statutory changes which might be desirable. absent voters ballot for the office of President and Vice President. Thousands of persons were dis franchised due to the fact that they moved their "residence with in the year preceding this past Px*esidential election. Constitutional and legislative requirements on residence in a state or county were established as safeguards against fraudulent voting and to prevent persons voting on local issues before establishing themselves in community or state. But for President, the rights would seem to be different. Although the of fice of President is not voted upon directly by the citizens of the United States, but lather we vote directly for Presidential Electors and indirectly for Presi dent, all citizens of the United States should be accorded the privilege of casting their vote for the highest office in the land See The Journal for Quality Printing.
