Ohio Citizens Draw Sizeable Return on Federal Investment In 1961 Ohio citizens drew a sizeable return on their investment in the Federal Government through services to advance health, improve education for their children, and broaden economic security. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, Abraham Ribicoff has announced the first phase of a program to revitalize the federal- state welfare activities. Ten administrative actions ordered by Secretary Ribicoff have two objectives: To help people on public assistance assume useful roles in society by achieving self-support and independence, and to eliminate whatever abuses have crept into the welfare program since it began a quarter century ago. New importance will be attached to services for the entire family to help them become self- supporting. To emphasize this approach, the name of the Federal Bureau of Public Assistance has been changed to the Bureau of Family Services.

The programs in operation in Ohio shared as follows in 1961: WELFARE During the year 89,290 men and women over age 65 received public assistance payments in i amounting to $84,108,000. Under the aid to dependent children pro- gram, 129,520 children and their mothers or caretakers received a total of $45,890,000. Payments totaling $12,291,000 were made to 14,315 permanently disabled persons, and $3,249,000 to 3,497 blind persons. Under new amendments to the law, Federal aid was available for the first time in 1961 to dependent children of unemployed parents and to States to help pay for foster family care for children removed from their homes because parents failed to provide properly for them. SOCIAL SECURITY During the year 618,200 retired workers of the Buckeye State and their dependents received a monthly total of $43,804,000 in social security benefits, and 210,800 widows and children of deceased workers received a monthly total of $13, 406,000.

Disability benefits total ing $3,733,000 a month were made to 53,200 men and women and their dependents. The 1961 amendments to the Social Security Act allow optional retirement for men at age 62, in crease the minimum insurance benefit paid to retired workers from $33 to $40 per month, relax requirements for insurance eligibility, and increase benefits paid Scoots Sworn into Office r-- VISIT OUR STORE DURING DOLLAR DAYS AND SEE THE NEW Wrist Watch The Companion Wotch to The World-Famous Benrus Only "14" plus tan Sold and Serviced Everywhere W.

HEALTH A variety of new approaches to better care for the chronically ill and aged will be made possible hrough the Community Services and Facilities Act of 1961. The Act authorizes grants to community agencies to develop new and improved home nursing, home care, and other oUt-of-hospital services. The Act also raises the ceiling for grants to the States for the construction of nursing homes from $10 million to $20 million annually. Under the Hill-Burton program, 25 hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities awarded $6,124,000 Ohio were in Federal funds for construction.

Their total cost is $21,750,000. The Federal Water SPLIT PERSONALITY--Wrapped only in a towel, Phyllis Newman is a blonde bombshell in the Bioadway musical, "Subways Are Foi Sleeping." Offstage, howei-er, her personality is just the opposite--a serious, conservative biunnette who favors good books and hig-h-collared dresses. Control Amendments of 1961 provide the basis for a greatly stepped-up program of waste treatment works construction and broadens the Federal Government's enforcement powers. During the year Federal grants totaling $1,527,144 were awarded in the State for the construction of 14 waste treatment works. The estimated cost of these projects is $7,504,269.

During 1961 grants amounting to $2,016,820 were made to Ohio health programs, programs, mental to strengthen general health health, cancer, heart disease, and tuberculosis control, and for the training of professional nurses. The National Institutes of Health, principal research arm of Pollution the Public Health Service, award- The Hillsboro Bank Savings Co, 'Your Friendly Bonk" "Teach The Bible And Leave Others Alone" This is a statement that is made by many people who actually haven't considered carefully what they are sajmg. Is it possible to preach all of the truth contained in the Bible and leave everyone alone? Jesus could not do so. He brought the sins of the religious people out into the open. This made them very angry but was our Father's will.

If we should leave others alone why did Peter charge the Jews with killing Christ Acts Christians should be kind but they should speak the truth clearly. Stephen was "full of faith and of the Holy Ghost." Acts 6:5. He was a man of God who loved people and his love caused him to reveal their sins in plain terms. Read Acts When one says we should leave others alone he confesses his ignorance of the Bible and the obligation God has placed upon each Christian to bring others to repentance and thus to salvation in Christ. Let us consider a few of the consequences of leaving everyone alone.

If we must do this, we could not even teach Genesis 1:1 because it would be offensive to the athiests who loudly deny the creation of God. We would offend the evolutionists if we taught that God made man in His image as Genesis declares. There are thousands of Jews in America who would feel hurt if we even preached Christ. Can one still believe we must leave everyone else alone and teach nothing controversial or offensive to any? We cannot even warn people of future- punishment in hell as Jesus did in Matthew 25:46 because the Universahsts and "Jehovah's" Witnesses boldly declare there is no such. We cannot even give the promise of heaven because "Jehovah's" Witnesses say only 144,000 will go to heaven, most all of them already chosen, and all we should look for is a changed earth here.

There was a preacher of a large denomination in Hillsboro who did not believe in the virgin birth of Christ. There are many modernists who do not believe this or the resurrection of our Savior. Are we going to be robbed of all the above precious truth' Certainly not. But this is the consequence of following the idea of leaving others alone. Actually the devil would like for us to leave all people in religious error and sin alone.

They would then be lost. Friends, can we love our brother and neighbor and not teach what we firmly believe to be the truth? We are "our brother's keeper" and must teach God's will to all. When one says we should not bother anyone he actually reveals his lack of faith in the clearly revealed truth of the Bible. LLOYD BARKER, 222 John Hillsboro, Ph.
