RHEUMATIC PAIN
GONE IN 8 HOURS
"For years I had rheumatic
pains in my shoulders, legs and
ankles when I walked I would
flinch with agony, but recently
I got RUGON and the pains be
gan leaving my body in 8 hours.
Now I am entirely free of pain
and praise RUGON to the sky."
This is a true, sincere testimonial.
RUGON is helping so many
victims of rheumatism and neur
itis because this NEW Liquid
Formula contains Three Wonder
ful Ingredients. Not a tablet or
capsule. RUGON goes to the very
source of pain almost at once and
costs but a few cents a day to
take. Get RUGON at Gillespie's
Drug Store.

Under an act of Congress, 25%
of any receipts from National
Forest lands are paid to the State
to be expended as the State Leg
islature may direct for the bene
fit of public schools and public
roads in the counties where the
forest lies. During the 12 months
from July 1955 to June 1956,
counties in Ohio received $5,627.
Estimates expect this figure to
increase as present timber stands
become more productive.
School Aid and Civil Eights
The information furnished to
Committees has a decided effect
upon what legislation will be
considered and the provisions it
contains when it is reported for
the approval of the full member
ship of the House of Representa
tives. Measures now under study
in House committees are to pro
vide Federal aid for school con
struction and set up Federal
safeguards for civil rights. Both
of these measures were consider
ed by the House last year when
the school measure was defeated
and the civil rights issue passed
only to die in the Senate.
It now appears that last year's
debates will be repeated on both
of these highly controversial
proposals within the very near
future since the leadership has
given them high priority on the
legislative schedule.
Fish and Wildlife Service
The nation's 25 million fisher
men and hunters spent over
three billion dollars in pursuit
of these sports in 1955, an amount
about equal to that spent for
electricity by all householders in
the United States. This figure
is reported in a letteV which I
have received from the Secretary
ol' the Interior outlining some of
the Fish and Wildlife Service's
conservation program for 1957.
One of the Service's activities
known well to southeastern
Ohio's sportsmen is the Federal
fish hatchery at Seneca Lake
Repeated reports of plans to
cloijfc- this hatchery have come
to my attention in the past year
However, I have been assured
again that no such action is con
templated and that the hatchery
will continue to stock the streams
and lakes of our area.

Political Matters
And Otherwise
By JESS S. HARRIS
President Eisenhower takes
frequent vacations from his
arduous and nerve racking na
tional duties but he keeps in con
stant telephoneic communica
tion with the White House while
absent therefrom. His health is
reported as being fine at the
present time.
Were this writer in an "invit
ing" position he wouldn't invite
a foreign higherup Communist
even to be a guest in his (the
writer's) filthiest hog lot, were
he the owner of such a filthy
spot. We hope our national con
gress will "kick out" such a
visitor, should the occasion ever
arise.
Mrs. Lausche, as the wife of
Ohio's governor and thereby this
state's first lady, did not "keep
house" for ten years but has now
returned to her former "har
ness," as Senator and Mrs. Lau
sche have a four-room apartment
in Washington City. And she
says she really enjoys her form
er employment.
Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey certainly hit the nail
squarely on the head when he
recently said "the people will
have to ask less from Washing
ton if the government is to spend
less." And Former President
Hoover, in about the same
breath, said, that the current
inflation shows signs of a de
pression agony, like that which
beset his own administration
back in 1929.
For the safety of Caldwell
pedestrians it might be in proper
order for the street committee
of our village council to go over
and inspect all sidewalks and
where sloping pavements, or
parts thereof, are dangerous to
persons walking thereon and to
have the property owners make
immediate repairs. Serious ac
cidents might thus be avoided.
The order rests with the "city
dads".
The motorist who takes the
time and pains to watch for and
strictly observes all road signs,
drives very carefully over bad
spots or full length along ques
tionable roads and never drives
at excessive speed usually lives
to drive again. Try it and see
how nicely and safely it works.
Always make sure that you keep
on your side of the highway,
especially when approaching a
hilltop or a sharp curve.

was certainly an unlucky day for

suffered from burns or were
otherwise injured. As usual, the
origin of the flames has since
been undetermined.
Leading Democratic workers
from over the nation, parti
cularly those of the western
states, held a get-together meet
ing in San Francisco the latter
part of last week for the pur
pose of more closely cementing
the membership of the party and
making preparations for success
at the 1958 congressional elec
tion. Steps were also taken to
raise dollar donations for paying
the cost of that campaign and
election.
Our state legislature has seem
ingly somewhat gone "left wing"
if all reports are true. If a bill
introduced by a member of the
house of representatives is en
acted into law all Saturdays in
Ohio will be legal holidays an
other measure introduced in the
house would make election day
a, legal1 holiday another bill in
troduced in the senate would
cause four legal holidays to fall
on Mondays, they being the
Fourth of July, Thanksgiving
Day and the Lincoln and Wash
ington birthdays. And still an
other bill would designate the
third Monday in February as
President's Day. The last Mon
day in May is proposed as Me
morial Day. The other holidays
would be left untouched.
The entire nation was recently
shocked and horrified during the
same week by two dastardly
crimes committed in South
eastern Ohio. The first was when
an infuriated Chesterhill, Morgan
county, husband and father shot
and killed his two small children
aged one and three years, fired
several shots into his wife and
then committed suicide with the
same gun, still smoking.
A few nights later another
crime was committed only two
or three counties away from the
scene of the first shooting when
a twenty-two-year-old man is
alleged to have shot and killed
his half-sister and her husband
as they were asleep in the same
bed then set the interior of the
home on fire, stole an automobile
owned by the brother-in-law,
went to Columbus early in the
morning where he robbed three
places of business, securing a
large sum of money, and made
good his escape for the time.

Often the greatest tax savings are to be made during the year by plan*
nfng your decisions with tax considerations in mind, rather than at the
end of the year when you have your tax form in hand.
Here are some possibilities for reducing your tax which you can't do
anything about after the end of ther
tax year, but which might reduce*
next year's tax return:
(1) If you are providing nearly
half the support of someone who
might qualify as a dependent, con*
bider providing more than half so
you will be entitled to the $000
exemption. The extra amount you
contribute may be less than the
tax savings.
(2) Remember that unless a de
pendent is under 19 or a full-time
student, you will lose the exemp
tion if his income is $600 or more.
Be sure to check the income of
everyone you expect to claim as a
dependent.
(3) If you are planning to be
married, a wedding before midnight
(8) If you sell your home at
If any of these points is likely
to make a substantial difference in
your tax, it will probably pay you
to discuss your problems with the
Iseek
Internal Revenue Service, or to
professional tax advice. Any
thing you pay for assistance in pre
paring your tax return is deductible
from your taxable income.
But beware of any "tax expert"
who claims he can cut your tax
below the amount you really owe.
It's a good idea to pick someone
who has had experience in dealing
with the Internal Revenue Service,
just in case the government should
raise some question about your
return.

afternoon (Caldwell time) the
convalescent home at Warren
ton, Mo., on U.S. Route 40, forty
miles west of St. Louis, in which
there were 194 inmates, was
quickly destroyed by fire and
some seventy-five persons lost
their lives and many others suf
fered from burns or were
severely injured. This was the
second fire of its kind within a
few days in the middle-west.
The second crime was com
mitted at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Lloyd See, some fifteen
miles east of Zanesville, where
husband and wife were shot and
killed, allegedly by Russell
Thomas McCoy, who had previ
ously resided in the See home
for nineteen years. Only a few
bones of the two human beings
were found in the ruins of the
burned building.
At seven o'clock last Sunday
morning McCoy calmly walked
into the Sheriff's office at Zanes
ville and as calmly surrendered
to the officer. Later in the day
he signed, a confession to the
effect that he had shot and
killed his half-sister and her
husband, set fire to the home and
had committed the three bur
glaries at Columbus. He is now
in the county jail awaiting action

You'd probably be amazed if you listed all the
electric appliances jjou have added to your home
in the last 10 years* Did you get an automatic
Washer, dryer, dishwasher, broiler, freezer,
television set, radio, record player, coffee maker,
toaster? Refreshing your memory about some
of these must bring to mind all the genume
pleasure you get from them whether it's
saving work or having fun.
Using more electricity for more appliances
naturally resulted in a higher electric bill-
but the surprising thing is that the average
cost of electricity per kilowatt hour has moved
steadily downward—and continues to do so.
This is possible because (1) you do use more
electricity and (2) Ohio Power's advanced engi
neering has brought about newer, more eco­
nomical ways of producing and delivering
electric power to you.
