Another Successful JA Year Another Junior Achievement year has come to a close with banquet awards to outstanding companies ind personnel, Quickco carrying off the major honors in being chosen "company of the year," This year's 8 companies had 174 "officers and employes," engaged ih the production of 32 products with sales totaling $7513. There is no finer youth program In our community. During JA's 13 years more than 2000 high school students have received invaluable training in every business aspect of a company operation. This knowledge they have acquired on their own initiative during the project's 30-week existence, and the experience will be invaluable to them when they embark upon life careers.

Junior Achievement would not be possible if it were not for the various firms which sponsor the miniature companies and the scores of adults who provide the teenagers guidance based on their own business experiences. To them goes a big "thank you." Parents should keep JA in mind and when the 1988-89 organization takes place they should encourage sons and daughters to become involved. It is wonderful business training for teenagers. Congratulations to Our 'George' Perhaps we're a little prejudiced but it was with much gratification that we saw Leo Poland become the surprise recipient of the second annual "George" award at the Chamber of Commerce's annual dinner. Leo has been associated with the newspaper's circulation department only a short time but already has become a most respected associate.

The former dental technician was Selected for the "let George do it" recognition because of volunteer service, conservatively estimated at 1500 hours, in YMCA, scuba and heart massage programs. While most of us use our free time for Self interests, Leo spends his off Sunday Benefit A great ai -unt of gone Into the 8-hour Vicki Troyer Fund benefit dance scheduled Sunday afternoon at The Mustang. Lining up 15 outstanding Ohio bands to play for the benefit was in itself an accomplishment and each will be donating its services. As pointed out by Mrs. Robert Lewis and Mrs.

James Murphy; cochairmen, the dance is open to all ages. While they may not want to Join the young people on the floor, although they are welcome to do so, adults will enjoy listening to the topnotch bands, including the Royal Chessmen of Dover. Admission at the door will be $1.50 and all proceeds will go to the fund for Vicki, who has been practically motionless since a February 1967 a.ccident. Attempting to march all the way to Washington are a great many poor people. Like Nelson Rockefeller and Bobby Kennedy.

We may wind up with almost as many rich candidates running for the White flouse as there are poor people marching on Capitol HiJl. The confusing thing about politics is why 'folks who criticize the establishment keep frying to get elected to it. Rocky almost missed the bus. Now lie's Advocating segregated fa-eating. By trying 'to get Dick Nixon to take a back seat.

While poor people attempt to take over Washington, rich guys like Howard Hughes are trying to purchase the state of Nevada. Bible Thoughts i Praise ye the Lord. Praise God In his praise him in the firmament 'of his power. Psalm 150: 1. The grateful heart makes itself happy.

We are most happy to congratulate Leo on his "George" award. Poisons in Home The U.S. Public Health Service has just issued a report which serves as another caution about the poisonous substances that abound in most homes. Figures compiled from hospital records in big cities show that 140,000 Americans were accidentally poisoned in their homes last year. This is thought to represent only about one- fourth of the total number of such cases.

Most accidental poisonings are not fatal. Even so, the death toll each year runs to about 2000 adults and 400 children. Most of the child victims are under 5 years of age. It thus seems appropriate to warn, once again, against leaving poisonous substances and in this context that includes everything from aspirin to cleaning fluids within reach of children. Little hands are all too adept at prying open ordinary containers, little minds too innocent of danger.

The simple precaution of keeping things out of reach, or under lock and key, may pay handsome dividends. Readers 7 Viewpoint Dissatisfied, Too I read the article in Saturday's paper by Mrs. Carl Burgess. I was so glad to read her opinion of the emergency room situation. too, am not satisfied with the setup.

Luckily, we were not so unfortunate as Vernon Troyer, but we also had to wait what seemed like forever during an emergency until a doctor arrived. So many people feel something is lacking at Union and they also seem to think it is because Harold Alden is at fault. Is lie? Or is the board? What can we do about it? To whom do we complain? If we did, would it do any good? I remember a while ago someone wrote to Hot Line in reference to salaries. The answer was something to the effect "This information is? not made public." But the air could have been cleared by a few facts. Mrs.

Lawrence Gingery 304 12. Front Dover. Teacher Lauded I am a college senior, expecting to graduate this summer. As a senior at New Philadelphia High, I sat under Mrs. Mary Goforth.

She was and is the best English teacher I ever had. She explained so many things to me which have helped me so much in my college courses. I was well prepared for college as I left her class. I have been planning to enter the teaching profession. But as I consider the board's action against Mrs.

Goforth I wonder if I should. It is very discouraging. Mrs. Goforth is always a lady. I cannot believe that the accusations against her are Just.

If they are, then perhaps the actions of all teachers should be investigated to see if others are not guilty, too. Susan Kumniull 620 S. Havcwa Drew Pearson' WASHINGTON The recent coal mine disaMet at Hominy Falls, W. was featured on television and In headlines around the nation. Not featured, however, was the fact that simultaneously coat miners suffer from a daily tragedy-the lung disease of pneumoconiosts.

It's caused by breathing very fine coal dust. More than 140,000 active and retired coal miners are suffering from this disease, and most nothing is being done about it. In fact, with the mechanization of mines, coal dust has become finer and the disease more prevalent. It leads to the gradual collapse of lung functioning and death. Every year 1200 miners die of pneu- moconfosis in Pennsylvania atone.

Pennsylvania, a state which recognizes the tragic results of the disease, will pay out around $50 million in damages to miners' families this year, and about $70 million next year. Most states, however, don't recognize the same. MEANWHILE, FEW steps art taken to prevent pneumoconoisis, such as ventilation of the mines and watering down coal. In western Europe, coal mining nations have taken vigorous steps to combat pneumoconiosis, but In the United States the Bureau of Mines had adopted no standards to control coal dust. The Coal Mine Safety Act of 1952 exempts the largest single area of death and injury, namely the working face of the mine, from federal safety regulation.

Furthermore, enforcement of the safety WHAT WORRIES ME, SENATOR IS THAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO STEP. David Lawrence Method Is Same WASHINGTON Does Congress have the right to stipulate that federal loans and scholarships shall not be granted to any students who are involved in a "serious obstruction" of college activity? The House of Representatives has passed such a measure and has sent it to the Senate. Protests against the bill are being voiced on the theory that this is a misuse of governmental power. But, strangely enough, the United States government has been employing precisely this method for the last few years in requiring colleges and universities to obey the regulations concerning racial discrimination issued by the government or else lose the benefit of federal funds in everything from student loans to construction and equipment grants. When the Department of Health, Education and Welfare began to threaten the withdrawal of federal funds from educational institutions because they were allegedly failing to comply with the "law of the land," the so-called "liberals" were silent.

Today they are denouncing the House bill which seeks to withhold federal funds in order to punish college students who defy constituted authority. A brief editorial in the New Yor.k Times Monday which criticized the House bill will be welcomed by educators who have hitherto gotten little support in their opposition to the employment of federal funds as a form of blackmail. The editorial said: "THE THREAT BY the House to punish rebellious college students by cutting them off from federal loans and scholarships is a dangerous excursion into political primitivism. The disregard of campus Democracy by a minority of disruptive and irresponsible students at Columbia and elsewhere in no way justifies such congressional vendettas in direct conflict with Democratic freedoms. Campus stavil- ity must be safeguarded by sound reforms on the part of the academic community and by enforcement of its own Democratic rules, not by governmental threats of fiscal sanctions.

"It is deeply disturbing that so many Dick West: WASHINGTON (UPI) Despite selling the Queen Mary, the Queen Elizabeth and the London Bridge to American interests, Great Britain continues in dire economic straits. The British pound fell this week to one of the lowest rates since devaluation and a prominent publisher said the nation was threatened with the greatest financial crisis in its history. One hopes our cousins across the sea will not reach the point where they are forced to sell Westminster Abbey, or perhaps Lord Snowden, but the outlook is not bright. Indeed, unless they find some way to solve the problem, we may some day pick up a newspaper and read an item along these lines: SAN DIEGO, Calif. Hugh Bigthink, prominent southern California real estate developer, announced today he had purchased the United Kingdom.

Bigthink said he planned to move the U.K. to the United States and convert it into an amusement park. "I've never seen the British Isles," he told a news conference, "but on the map they appear to be about the same size as Disneyland." politicians appear to think of federal subsidy of students as an indulgent uncle's benefaction. In reality, the extension of educational opportunities is at least as vital to the future health of the nation as it is to the personal careers of individual students. But, more important, to turn federal stipends into a device to regulate student views and behavior is to stoop to methods generally associated with totalitarian states.

Such action can only give support to those extremists among today's students who charge that the campus is doing the mercenary bidding of a repressive establishment. "Federal interference with higher educ- cation is an intolerable violation of academic freedom. To permit such intrusions would undermine the nation's security far more severly than the disruptive insurrection of irresponsible youths." THE FOREGOING commentary will be read with interest by the administrators of many colleges and schools which have been struggling in the last few months with problems growing out of racial imbalance. For the federal government has cut off funds from 4 colleges since Jan. 1, 1967 all of them private institutions.

Eighteen hospitals have been deprived of federal money or have been threatened with its loss. Federal funds constitute a powerful lever in compelling conformity with the views of governing authorities on how education should be conducted. The Times editorial, therefore, will be regarded in many parts of the country as a recognition of the fact that the power to grant or withhold federal funds permits a kind of blackmail and cannot be tolerated, no matter how worthy the objective. There are plenty of laws on the statute books which can be used to punish students who are disorderly, seize private property or disrupt the operations of colleges, just as there are laws prohibiting racial discrimination. It should not be necessary to threaten to withhold federal funds as a means of securing compliance with the ordinances of a city or the laws of a state for the preservation of order.

The Lighter Side He said the U.K. would be taken apart piece by piece and reassembled in America in its original form. He said he was negotiating for a tract of land in the southwestern part of the United States to serve as a site for the park. "This could become America's No. 1 tourist attraction," Bigthink said.

"Thousands of Americans cross the Atlantic every year to visit Britain. When the project is- completed, they will be able to do that at home." He added that moving the U.K. to America would make it unnecessary for the United States to adopt a tourist tax, "We will do everything possible to keep it authentic," Bigthink said. "The British will continue to live as they do now and will help support themselves by selling native handcraft to the tourists." Asked if he had thought of a name for the park, Bigthink said he had not reach' ed a final decision but was considering calling it "Beatielaird." "Or maybe we'll run a contest and offer Big Ben as a prize to the person who sub. mils the best name," he said.

After the United Kingdom has been transported, he said, the British Isles will be leased to West Germany for use as a parking lot. Ralph McGilt Dragging act has become a farce. Violation after violation has been cited since the act became law in 1052, but only one penalty has ever been assessed against a mind operator. The U.S. Bureau of Mines Is under the strong influence of the Bituminous Coat Operators Assn.

Meanwhile Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall had appeared more interested in bicycle paths through parks and preservation of woods and flowers than the protection of coal miners' health. There was a day when John L. Lewis, beetle browed president of the United Mine Workers, forced the building of hospitals in the coal imining areas. However, the treasury has become so low, following the mechanization of mines and the decrease of UMW membership, that the union has been unable to finance the hospitals, and most have been turned over to local W. A.

BOYLE, who now replaces Lewis as president of the mine workers, has seemed more Interested in combating atomic energy and natural gas than fighting for safety and health of the miners. Recently Secretary Udall, worried over mine safety, appointed Under Secretary of the Interior David S. Black as chief of an investigating to look into the operation of the Bureau of Mines. It will be Interesting to see what, If anything, happens. Note: Sen.

Ralph Yarborough (D-Tex.) will start investigating industrial safety next week. Mona Lisa 'Smile' If the class In political science will please come to order- Immediately after President Johnson's forthright renunciation of a nomination he could have had (and a very probable election victory as well), a few political analysts wrote that Vice President Humphrey was hurt because there had been no endorsement by the President. This, of course, was not true. In saying so on a national television show, and at a press conference, Mr. Humphrey wore one of those inscrutable Mona Lisa smiles.

He almost surely was wondering at the naivete of those who had created such a credibility gap between themselves and political reality. There is not a freshman in any political science class who doesn't know a presidential endorsement at the time of the Johnson renunciation would have been a blunder. Neither the president nor Mr. Humphrey is in the habit of making political fumbles at least not knowlingly so. The both knew along with millions of Americans that nothing so stimulates the adrenal glands of the typical voter as an attempt by an officeholder to designate his successor.

Had the president called upon the people to nominate and elect Mr! Humphrey, the opposition would have had a gala. Editorialists would have denounced so egregious an insult to free choice. The idiot groups would have been out with their torn toms. POLITICAL GRAVEYARDS are crowded with ex candidates' who died of being endorsed by friends in office who wanted to impose their choice on the electorate. Perhaps the best known of these disasters involved Franklin D.

Roosevelt's attempt to dictate to the voters of Georgia the choice of a candidate to unseat the then veteran conservative U. S. senator, Walter George. The year was 1938. Sen.

George had been elected to the Senate after the death of the notorious and dangerously tragic Sen. Echoes of 10 YEARS AGO George Creager of Uhrichsville was elected president of Tuscarawas Valley Mental Health Assn.

The cemetery was operated jointly by Dover and Dover Township.

Tom Watson. He had voted for the major New Deal reforms.

But, by 1938 his innate and instinctive conservatism had turned him against other administration measures. It was not true that Sen. George, at that time the outstanding figure in the August U. S. Senate, was a tool of corporate interests.

He believed as did they. They did not need to seek his support. Mr. Roosevelt was still at a high peak of popularity. The racist state's rights crowd was out after him.

But he was a towering influence, especially loved in Georgia. In the summer of 1938 Mr. Roosebelt, ill advised by certain of the more compulsive type of advocates, came to Georgia and spoke out for a removal of Mr. George. He asked for votes for a highly respectable man.

A spectacular campaign followed. The late Eugene Talmadge seized the forelock of resentment'at "telling us how to vote." The primary was 1 the most expensive to the candidates, especially to Sen. George, in the state's history. Sen. George won.

Mr. Roosevelt's choce was a poor third. RARER EVEN than the whooping crane is the governor, mayor, senator, or congressman who has been able to name and elect his successor. It has happened. But not often, and almost never save in a state or county rigidly machine controlled.

Mr. Humphrey, of course, did not expect an endorsement. Nor did the president ever consider giving one. Neither is inexperienced in politics. Both knew what a disaster an early presidential call to nominate and elect Mr.

Humphrey would have been. So, no endorsement was considered. In reply to a question about it, the vice president said, candidly and without reservation, "No. I am not hurt. I did not expect or seek an endorsement.

Let us just forget that for a while." And on his face was the enigmatic Mona Lisa smile. from Our Files coach, spoke at the Dover St. Joseph's High athletic banquet. 30 YEARS AGO Rev. Charles F.
