Local Scouts To Attend
Fifth National Jamboree
Colorado, which has but two cities of 50,000 population or over,
according to the 1950 census, is to get a third one of that size in July,
1960, when a 2,000 acre tented city rises at the Reverse Diamond
Ranch about eight miles from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Unemployed Roll
In Noble County
Has 43% Increase
An increase of 43 percent in
jobless claims was filed in the
Caldwell office for the week
fending Dec. 31, 1959, according to
reports submitted by officials of
the Ohio Bureau of Unemploy
ment Compensation.
For the last week in December
a total of 248 jobless claims were
filed in the Caldwell office, the
iargest number ever reported
Since the Caldwell office was
Established. A total of 174 claims
was reported for the previous
week.
Initial claims for the week
jumped from 22 to 84, an increase
of 62, reflecting an increase of
280 percent. The December low
for initial claims was five, filed
for the week ending Dec. 18.
Continued applications filed
for the week just ending also
showed an increase, reporting a
total of 164, compared to 152 for
the previous week.
According to bureau officials,
the increase in claims filed was
due to the lay-off at the RCA in
Cambridge. It is expected that
the lay-off will be for a short
duration, possibly for the period
fiormaily required to complete
the plant's inventory.
It was also noted that the 13
week temporary extension to
Secure unemployment benefits
terminated on Dec. 26. The Cald
well office reported handling 17
such jobless claims.
The Caldwell unemployment
office, located in the Knights of
Columbus building, West street,
is open every Tuesday morning
from 8:30 to 11:30 o'clock.
Persons living in Noble county
and adjacent areas are urged to
use the Caldwell office in filing
claims. These facilities are avail
able to persons who are eligible
for unemployment compensation.
Divorce Action Heard
In Court At Marietta
At a e o a y hear i i S a u
day in Marietta in the divorce
action brought by Mildred Max
ine Antill against Kenneth Oscar
Antill, both of Elba, Judge Leon
ard B. Ogle ordered Antill to
turn over the family car to his
wife and not molest her during
the pendency of the action.
Antill, a taxicab driver, said
that he earned from $2 to $4 per
day and paid $1.83 nightly for
his lodging at a Front St. hotel.
"If you make $2 a day, you
don't have much left," said the
court.
"I starve and sleep," relied the
defendant, who added that he
was willing to turn the car over
to his wife if she'd keep up the
payment on it.
Wilbur D. Jones, Mrs .Antill's
attorney, said that she formerly
worked at the Williamstown pot
tery but was laid off about three
weeks ago. He told the court that
Antill had threatened to "burn
the house down if she is awarded
it." Antill denied saying this and
the court commented that his
remarks "would be a good thing
to have in the record if it does
burn down."
Antill likewise denied im
proper association with a 15-year
old Maeksburg girl whereupon
the court cautioned him that "it
is a good way to land in the
penitentiary."
The couple was married Feb
10, 1946 and separated Dec. 30,
1959. There are no children.
Mrs. Antill brought the suit
on the ground of gross neglect of
duty, charging that her husband
has failed to support her and she
has bpen obliged to work to buy
necessities.
Her petition also states that
Antill "has become enamored of
others and has by reason of such
amorous conduct caused himself
to be subject to the penalties of
the law."
No alimony was ordered by
the court as a result of yester
day's hearing. The court again
warned Antill:
"It looks like you're heading
for a lot of trouble, young man.
Unless you back track, you'll
land in the penitentiary."
"I hate to cause hitm trouble,
I really do," Mrs. Antill here told
the court.
*1It won't be you causing him
trouble, it will be the authori
ties just like it was when he was
sent to jail," Judge Ogle replied
and arose to indicate the hearing
was over.
The ranch will house the Fifth National Jamboree of the Boy
Scouts of America, the high point

PATIENT IN HOSPITAL
James McElroy, of Caldwell, is
a patient in the Good Samaritan
hospital, Zanesville, where he is
under observation.
Because nobody has yet
figured out a way to pre-fabricate
ees, many newly built dream
castles may not be as dreamy as
anticipated.
Some three to five million
ees alone are needed to take
care of the approximately 1,330,
000 home starts of 1959, estimates
M. W. Staples, field supervisor of
the Davey Tree Expert Co. And
this figure does not take into
account the new homes that will
spring up in I960.
Desirable shade trees, even in
the smaller sizes, require from
three to ten years for nursery
development. The younger ones
are mainly "whip" that may take
decades to mature into shade
giving landscaping. And the more
sizable ones that can be stock
piled for transplanting are hard
to come t^y. Davey, for instance,
collects larger trees from nur
series when available but often
resorts to selections from aban
doned fence rows, farms, defunct
eal estate developments and old
estates that are being sub
divided. Supply cannot keep up
with demand, however.
The average American home
requires three major shade trees
on the grounds and one or more
street trees—and shortages of
gobd stock seem destined into
the foreseeable future. In nur
series, the earliest purchasers
garner the best trees. The astute
home owner will consult a reli
able nurseryman now to assure
himself attractive keystone plant
ngs for next Spring.
Maple, oaks, and lindens are
getting the call pver the tradi
tional elms, vulnerable to epi
demic diseases. Small or dwarf
growing tres are gaining in popu
larity to match the lower arnch
type and split-level homes.
Tax Returns Should
Be Filed Early Here
Don't delay iiling that federal
income tax return you just got
in the mail—especially if you are
one of the many millions who
may have a tax refund coming,
according to the district director
of internal revenue.
For, the sooner you file, the
sooner Internal Revenue Service
can process your return and get
your check to you.
That is the advice of Pnilipp
L. Charles, district director for
the Cincinnati district (which
now includes the former Colum
bus district). Mr. Charles added:
"If we have to give your re
turn a pre-refund audit and thus
delay your refund check, we will
inform you of that fact by letter.
But even in such cases, the
earlier you file, the earlier we
can get at this audit
The director also has a tip for
early filers who want to receive
their refunds as quickly as pos
sible.
That is to mak? sure you don't
omit ny essential information
in mak ng out yo.r return, such
as your signatu": t'and that of
your spouse if it is a joint re
.urn), your Form W-2 reporting
your K«v withho ding, and your
addrt

State Liquor
ion
Mark, Report Shows
Ohio and its political subdivis
ions have shared in a billion dol
lar financial mbllon in the form
of liquor taxes, profits and per
mits fees since the repeal of pro
hibition, state auditor, James A.
Rhodes said today.
A search of the records dating
back to 1934, the first full year
of operation after repeal, dis
closed that the state's total
"take" actually amounted to $1,
193.315.815.
Of that amount, Rhodes said,
$174,426,705 was returned to the
local subdivisions as permit fees,
as required by law. This was 14.6
per cent of the total collections,
an average of $6,582,142 per year
during the period of 26^ years.
The state kept the lion's share
of the "take" of which the larg
est item was $427,746,047 in beer,
wine and malt taxes. Liquor pro
fits at the same time accounted
for another $327,870,170, while
the dollar liquor gallonage tax
accounted for another $234,621,
432, Rhodes said.
In addition, the 50-cent liquor
gallonage tax enacted in 1955 to
help finance the mental hygiene
program, produced $23,283.87
for an average of $5,820,879 per
year.
Rhodes cited the sharp con
trast as between the total rev
enues received during the first
year of operation, totaling only
$11,632,646, and the receipts
$70,531,473 for the fiscal year
ending last June 30, as indicative
of the constantly expanding
liquor business in the state.
The State of Ohio has more
rubber plants and the largest
number of people employed in the
rubber industry than any other
state.
THE JOURNAL, CALDWELL', OHIO
County Commissioners Oppose Stale
Use Of Monies For Highway Program
The Ohio County Commissioners Association, at their conven
tion which the Noble county commissioners attended in Columbus,
went on record against use of real estate and personal property tax
money for highway construction and maintenance.
The association said more money was needed for county and
township roads but it should1
come from users levies as is now
the case.
Currently, funds for county,
township, and municipality road
maintenance and construction
comes from motor vehicle li
censes fees. Part of the seven
cents-a-gallon gas tax also is
allocated to local government.
The association adopted a
resolution to oppose the state
highway department if it should
recommend to the legislature
use of personal property and real
estate tax money for the high
ways.
The department is slated to
Allan B. Diefenbach of Akron,

hending motorists for going the
same speeds.

Wauseon Girl
Wins Again In
Sewing Contest
Two teenage girls, one from
Northeast and the other from
Northwest Ohio, have won top
honors in Ohio's fourth annual
Make It-Yourself With Wool
contest.
The girls are Susan Hoy, 18.
of Wauseon, and Elizabeth Ben
nett, 17, of Salem. Miss Hoy won
first place in the senior division,
and Miss Bennett in the junior
division of state finals held in
Columbus last week.
Miss Hoy's printed wool challis
dress was styled with a jewel
neckline, cap sleeves, and a rais
ed waistline. This is Susan's
second year as a state winner.
Last year she won the junior
division and represented Ohio at
the national contest. A freshman
at Ohio Wesleyan university
where she is majoring in home
economics, she has been an
active 4-H club member for the
past eight years. In six of those
years she was enrolled in sewing
projects.
Miss Bennett captured the
junior division title with a three
piece ensemble combining gold,
brown and grey. She wore
plaid skirt, topped with a waist
length, collarless jacket. A mat
ching tan and gold jersey bloust
completed her costume.
Both girls will receive expense
paid trips to the national con
test in San Antonio, Texas. Th
state awards were presented at
the meeting of the Ohio Sheep
Improvement Association on the
Ohio State University campus.
Winning top place for the most
fashionable ensemble was Mi.
Mary Ella Rowles of Pleasanl
ville. Miss Rowles wore a rever
sable red and black coat over a
black sheath dress.
Twenty-six girls, all district
winners, competed for top state
awards. Nearly 1,000 girls and
young women participated in the
contest, sponsored by the Ameri
can Sheep Producers Council, the
Ohio Wool Growers Association
and the Wool Bureau.
The girls were between the
ages of 13-22, and made their

The association's newly elected
officials said more money for
county and townships roads will
be a major goal before the 1961
legislature.
One suggestion for getting the
money, they said, would be to
find some other method of sup

Shortcomings Of Court
Hearings Are Examined
Twelve hundred Ohioans examined the Shortcomings of local
courts in treating traffic violators and decided the judges and the
public must be educated to make reforms.
Judges, prosecutors, police officials, sheriffs and deputies,
lawyers, lawmakers, city officials and civic leaders, attending a day
long conference on "Law and the*
Layman," decided the courts in
dealing with persons accused of
violating traffic laws:
—Are overcrowded and speed
too many cases through too fast.
—'Delay hearings on traffic
cases too long, sometimes more
than six months.
—Do not follow uniform prac
tices, falling short of the goal of
equal justice for all.
—Do not separate traffic cases
from others.
Atty. Gen. Mark McElroy blis
tered the procedures of many
courts in the state. He said vio
lators are subject to "assembly
line treatment" and are handed
"arbitrary and haphazard deci
sions" in what he called "cafe
teria courts."
John D. Randall of Iowa, pres
ident of the American Bar Assn.,
called traffic courts the neglect
ed stepchildren of our judicial
system.
"Certainly poorly administered
or unfair traffic courts can only
engender disrespect for the entire
judicial system," he said.
came from James P. Economos
of Chicago, director of the Traf
fic Court Program of the Ameri
can Bar Assn.
He said city officials budget
the amount of money they ex
pect to raise through traffic
fines. This puts a subtle pres
sure on judges to find defend
ants guilty to raise the antici
pated sum, he said.
Economos said Ohio could im
prove its courts and cut its acci
dent rate sharply by requiring
all persons given tickets for
moving violations to appear in
court—evfen if they plan to plead
guilty.
Economos said it is too easy
on drivers to permit them to
merely go to the police station
and pay for a ticket.
But for his plan to be reason
able, he said, motorists must be
assured of a trial on the day they
appear in court and should not
be kept waiting for scores of
other cases to be heard.
The attorney said he knew his
plan would be unpopular with
local and state officials who
would have to find more money
for the salaries of judges and
court attendants and build more
courtrooms.
The same plan cut traffic fa
talities in Dade County, Fla.,
which includes Miami, by 20 per
cent, he said.
The Governors Traffic Safety
Committee, co-sponsor with the
Ohio Bar Assn., of the confer
ence, voted to establish a per
manent subcommittee to work
toward improvements of traffic
