FRACTURES ANKLE

of consolidations, there are now
fewer units of government in
operation locally than there were
five years ago. The reduction
amounts to 10 percent.
The facts are brought out in
a special study, covering every
county in the United States,
made by the bureau as part of
its 1957 Census of Governments.
It is the first such survey i: five
years.
Throughout the country, it
shows, community affairs are
only partly in the hands of
county and city governments. In
most places they are conducted,
in addition, through various
"district"' bodies, which have
authority over schools, over
highways, over housing or over
other community functions.
As for Noble county, the sur
vey shows that there are now in
operation some 35 units of gov
ernment. They consist of the
county government itself, as well
as those of six municipalities,
15 townships, 12 school districts
and one special district.
The total is 10 percent below
the 39 units counted in 1952.
The reduction was greater than
that reported for most other
counties in the state of Ohio,
which had an average drop of
seven percent.
Such consolidations have taken
place in many years in the
United States, but have been
offset partially by an increase
in the number of special dis
tricts. The net result is 102,328
units of government throughout
the country, nearly half of them
school districts.
In Noble county, the decline
in the number of school districts
was from 16 to 12.
As viewed by the publication
American City: "While local
government still suffers from a
complexity of administrative
i v i s i o n s a n s u i v i s i o n s
enough to frighten the most
ardent jig-saw puzzle fan, some
hopeful progress in consolidation
has taken place in recent vears."

Stressed By Infernal
Revenue Department In Filing Returns
The Internal Revenue Service during the 1958 income tax filing
season will again stress self-help as its basic theme of taxpayer as
sistance, District Director Nathaniel Looker of the. Columbus district
office of the service announced today.
"The self-help program has now been in effect about three
years," Mr. Looker said, "and we
payers are becoming familiar
with the requirements for sound
preparation of Federal income
tax returns. Essentially self-help
means that taxpayers complete
as much of t,heir returns as pos
sible before asking help from us.
Most taxpayers can do the whole
job after a careful reading of the
form itself and its accompany
ing instruction booklet.
"The most important thing to
the taxpayer in preparing a re
turn or in peeking telephone or
office assistance is to have all
of his 1957 financial records in
hand and to have all the neces
sary facts in mind. And again
let me remind taxpayers that it
will be much easier to prepare
a return or to obtain any help
needed now, early in the filing
period, rather than waiting until
the late stages of the season
when telephone lines are jam
med and offices are crowded."

Sharp Breaks In Weather
Help Maple Syrup Season
Sharp breaks in winter tem
peratures produce the best sap
runs, says F. W. Dean, Ohio
State University extension for
ester. He urges maple syrup pro
ducers to watch the 5-day weath
er forecasts so they will know
what to expect in the way of sap
flow.
There's an old saying among
sugar bush Operators that "if
you miss the first big run, you
may lose the best part of the
season." That first big run could
come almost any time now, Dean
says. Although the season varies
greatly from southern to north
ern t)hio, it usually opens
around mid-February and ex
tends through late March.
Producers who haven't already
done so should check their equip
ment, buckets, evaporators and
fuel supplies now, the forester
says.
Ohio ranks from third to fifth
in the nation in maple syrup
production, depending on the
season. Buckeye producers had
a bad year in 1957. one of the
poorest on record, with a syrup
yield of about 90,000 gallons.
Automation is taking some of
the romance out of the maple
syrup business, according to
Dean. The trend is toward larg
er producers and more modern
equipment. The days when a man
on a horse-drawn sled moved
from tree to tree to collect sap
are fading. Some big producers
now are using plastic pipe to
transport the sap from the trees
to a central tank. Modern eva
porators have automatic con
trols and some are fired with
fuel oil.
CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY
The Furst-McNness Company
of Freuport, 111., is celebrating

county and area is Myron Pick
enpaugh, who has been actively
engaged in this business for the
past year. The McNess company
which began in a small rented
building has grown into a multi
million dollar corporation.

"Fly your kite safely and right" is the slogan Ohio Power Co.
is using this year in its annual spring campaign to promote safety
among kite flyers.
The slogan appears on posters which are being distributed to
schools, Scout groups and other youth organizations in the area, ac
cording to O. R. Frese, Cambridge District Manager.
The posters also briefly list
some of the safety rules which
kite flyers should observe.
The Ohio Power manager said
parents, teachers and voutn
leaders can assist in the cam
paign by informing children
about the potential dangers in
the outdoor sport.
One of the most important
safety rules is to fly kites in open
spaces and away from electric
wires. Some people have been
electrocuted and others injured
because their kite, its tail or its
string came in contact with
power lines.
"If the kite cord is damp, or
contains wire or tinsel," it may
cause a short circuit if it con
tacts a power line and could
cause death or serious injury to
a youngster holding the string,"
the Ohio Power official said.
also could interrupt vital elec
tric service to homes, factories,
hospitals and schools, he pointed
out.
He listed the following seven
rules of safety which kite flyers
should observe:
1. Always fly kites in open
spaces away from electric wires
and other obstructions.
2. Never use wire or tinsel
cord for kite string.
3. Never use any kind of metal
in the construction of a kite.
4. Never fly a kite in wet
weather as the string will get
wet and become a conductor of
electricity.
5. Never run across a street
or highway in flying a kite.
6. Never climb a tree or pole
to retrieve a kite.
7. If a kite becomes entangled
in electric wires, notify the
Ohio Power Co.
