Ours, Yours And Theirs 4 The Circleville Herald, Tuesday July 1, 1975 LAFF A DAY A Page Of Opinion Recognizing Performance Merit salary increases given on a selective basis to those workers whose performance warrants special consideration are receiving greater emphasis, reports the American Compensation Association. Companies which have not only been hurt by the recession but are seeking incentives to attract better efforts from their employes have rediscovered the merit increase. A survey by the association of hundreds of American corporations found the general, across-the-board increase for all employes no longer in favor. With the exception of minimal periodic increases, many of the companies reported they are looking at individual performance and offering salary increases accordingly. This is an excellent premise on which to build back to economic health and prosperity.

It was easy- explaining why so many companies adopted the simply to grant periodic increases to the entire payroll. But two economic damages were perpetuated in the process: the cost base was increased without regard to productivity and those workers who applied themselves diligently in many cases found they were rewarded no better than the mediocre worker. Severe economic problems have a way of bringing back basic economic verities. One of them is that the person who knows he will be recognized for performance above average will strive harder to meet that goal.

McGovern Weighing Options On 1976 Presidential Race WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. George S. McGovern, who lost by a landslide as the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, is weighing the option of running again for president in 1976.

In a letter sent last week to fewer than 50 of his key 1972 supporters, McGovern asked their advice on three options he is considering, including one of becoming a presidential contender. However, the South Dakota Democrat said that, things stand now, I do not intend to become a The other options listed in the letter were endorsing a liberal candidate or making a statement specifying what potential candidate would be unacceptable to him. After his hard-fought battle for reelection to the Senate last year, McGovern said, am not going to be a candidate in for the presidency. The letter sent last week said, am seeking your candid advice on a personal, confidential basis as to the best role I can play. Some have suggested that I endorse one of the They'll Do It Every Time WuEN YOU PO SPFCE YOP'VE xXX SUPER MAI NO! I Po 7-J Ir you presidential candidates in order to help a strong liberal emerge.

He warned against the adopting a centrist and said only the election of a liberal Democratic president could end the stalemate in government.

Stackhouse Backs Fairs Fund Change COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio Director of Agriculture John M. Stackhouse has announced he is supporting legislative approval of a proposal to provide a more equitable distribution of funds from the Ohio Fairs Fund for the agricultural fairs. Under the present provisions of the statute, each of the 95 agricultural fairs receive $2,500 annually for the encouragement of junior fair activities, school displays and livestock premiums. Stackhouse has proposed an amendment to increase this amount to $5,000. He said that the source of money for the fund pari-mutuel betting on horse races has nearly quadrupled, but the fairs are not benefitting proportionately as the fund grows.

Dear Mrs. The streptococcus germ is one of a large group of bacteria. Many of these bacteria are relatively harmless; others, especially the are responsible for infectious diseases in man. Before the discovery of the antibiotics, the streptococcus was a source of anxiety to physicians. The methods of treatment and the ability to control this particular germ were limited.

Today, with culture techniques, it is possible to accurately find the exact subdivision of the streptococcus responsible for a particular infection. By special methods, the ideal antibiotic is found to attack and destroy it. Doctors still have a great deal of awareness that the streptococcus can be potentially dangerous in some instances. Yet the germ is no longer as anxiety producing as it once was. What is the present attitude about Xray examination of the chest of a pregnant woman? Mrs.

G.N..R.I. Dear Mrs. There never is an indiscriminate use of X-rays. Physicians carefully evaluate the need for X-rays in terms of the general well-being of the patient. During pregnancy, particularly, there is extra precaution in the use of repeated X-rays.

Unless there is specific concern about a chest condition, X-rays are not ordered routinely. This is in keeping with the general attitude prevalent today of also keeping to a minimum the use of drugs during pregnancy. Are typhoid innoculations necessary for European travel? Mr. H. HI.

Dear Mr. Most European countries have excellent control over their water and milk supply. Consequently, typhoid is a relatively rare disease in these areas. However, in areas where water pollution is a greater possibility, precautionary typhoid injections should be taken. The United States Public Health Service and the Medical Department of the Armed Forces should be consulted if travel in potentially dangerous areas is expected.

Advice, too, can be gotten from them about the need for smallpox, yellow fever and cholera protection. Business World By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) The big question facing economic policy makers today is how to make the recovery a sound one that is, one that stir up the demons again in 1976 or 1977. Ours has always been a cyclical economy. An advance or expansion has always been followed by a retreat or contraction, which in turn sets in motion energies that lead to the next expansion. That, it seems, is the way the economy moves, whether we like it or not.

For years been trying to flatten out the ripples, but seldom have we succeeded for more than a couple of years. And now comes another test. The nation is, by almost all accounts, Fertilizer Production 1 CLEVELAND, Ohio Standard Oil Co. (Ohio), contending that fertilizer production by its Lima-based subsidiary has been by natural gas cutbacks, sought federal help Monday. Sohio said it has asked the Federal Trade Commission to order Columbia Gas of Ohio, to provide sufficient natural gas daily to equal about 41 per cent of the total feedstock necessary for operation of its subsidiary, Vistron Corp.

The firm said the rest of the necessary feedstock is obtained from such alternate fuels as furnace oil and propane. Columbia Gas recently advised Sohio that effective Nov. 1, gas deliveries will be reduced by 60 per cent for five months of the winter. Sohio said Columbia Gas already had cut deliveries by 35 to 55 per cent of normal. A Sohio spokesman said that about 66,000 midwestem farmers depend on fertilizer produced at Lima for all or part of their nitrogen needs.

He said the gas is needed now and through the winter to meet demands for the 1975-76 planting season, Sohio said. The spokesman said ammonia supplies are critically short and are expected to remain so for four years. He said the cutback envisioned by Columbia Gas would result in loss of nearly 94,500 tons of ammonia over the five-month period. near the bottom of the recessic Although a few economists expect sharp upturn, the great majority fe that the recovery will be slow and, a while, maybe not even steady. This brings up a question of polic Would it be wise to spurthe recove by letting more money flow into tl economy? Such a move probab woidd quicken the pace of econom activity, but at what price? The danger of such a move is rei flation.

If we follow a very easy mom policy it poses the threat of boostii economic activity like fire boosts rocket. Could we then control it? Some economists already have the fingers crossed about prospects fi late 1976 and 1977. They fear we become impatient, will try to speed tl recovery through easy money ai government spending, and that prici will begin rising again. The same is true in regard governmental services provided ease the problems of recession. Do yt maintain them once the expansion hi begun or do you eliminate them? Moi pertinently, can you end them? The fight to end recession, therefor must always be waged with one eye the possibility of creating a futui boom that will bum itself out and drc the nation into still another recessioi If the decisions could be made in vacuum, as many of the so-calk econometric projections are made, tl probability of making the wise dec sions would be enhanced.
