Kenneth Kerr, pub­ lisher of t h e 138—year—old Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, has written the publisher o f the Cedarville Herald a letter which the local editor prizes highly. Incidentally, it is a sample of a score or more similar letters re­ ceived in recent weeks, for all o f which we are extremely grat- ful. Some extracts from Major Kerr’s letter follows: “ Congratulations on stream­ lining the Cedarville Herald, and the other great improvements in he paper in the short time you have edited it. I was particularly happy when you went to Cedar­ ville. In the first place it is near your home town, and in the sec­ ond place the Herald has always enjoyed a splendid reputation, and I know it will continue to under your careful guidance. I have teen reading the Herald for many years, enjoying Karlh Bull's pithy writings. Though he is a rampant Republican and I am a Democrat we are the best of friends. ' ‘I am particularly impressed with your frontt page—in fact with, the entire makeup. You can’t help but be a success, for in the first place you were bred to be a newspaperman, in the second place you have a world of energy and ambition, so neces­ sary to a successful publisher, and in the third place you have a splendid established field for a good Republican newspaper. “ It seems only yesterday that you were just a little codger, full of what it takes fo r a boy to be a success when he becomes a man. I wish you and your family a world o f success, and I know that the good people whom the Herald serves are fortunate in having you to follow such a splendid publisher as Karlh Bull." -—R» Kenneth Kerr TheEditor. . Edits The draft is over, selective service passed out o f existance as of March 31 except fox- keeping records. As we heard someone quip: “Richard must o f shut the door!” A good per cent of the sub­ scribers o f the Herald probably noticed the apparent difference in the paper on which their copy was printed. It does seem a good bit thinner, but the weight is the same and it doesn’t bulk quite as, mucn. It is a No. 2 grade in­ stead of the No. 1 grade the Herald has used fo r the past years. However with the paper shortage what it is, we can’t be ehoicy, it was either take it or leave it. . . so we took it, natch. All of which reminds us o f the story' about the man who went into the restaurant to buy a ham sandwich. After the waitress had brought it he asked: Customer—Waitress, did you slice this ham? Waitress—Yes Customer—Almost missed, did­ n’t you? That’s the same way we feel about the paper, but our supplier didn’t miss when it came to charging us fo r it. Their bill said 6% cents per pound. Only a little over a year ago we were paying 31* cents. The boys north of the border sure must think our dollar is inflated. Along that same line—we heard at Rotary that England was the only country that charges the United States for land on which our fallen members o f the armed services are buried. "While we’re talking about the paper we might mention that there were undoubtedly several local people wondering why Mrs. Irwin’s death was in both of last two issues. Well, it was like this— Week before last when we had all but about 200 papers all run o ff when the funeral home called telling us of the death. So we waited until we had all o f the information, put it in the front page and finished the run. So then last week we repeated the story fo r those we had missed with it the week before. Friend Frederich C. Othman, United Press Washington feature writer, who is one o f our favor­ ites, came up with' a couple of " good ones last week and think they are worth mentioning. He *- yytf? one evening that the words Friday, 'April 11,1947 of congress filled 3021 pages and then other evening came up with a story about the trouble that congress is having over the starl­ ings and the buildings in Wash­ ington. When, we were out in Ill­ inois last year, When we could sneak the time, we used to get a big kick out of watching his stuff come in over the wire—you never knew what he was apt to say or do next. We note with interest that the officials of the international beauty show in New York last week said that the upkeep on a woman’s face is $85 per year and want that amount deductable form Uncle Sammy’s income tax. We think most married men would vote yes on that. In looking over the list of winners in the senior scholarship tests over the entire state the big city schools are way out in front. True there is a good sprink­ ling of smaller schools listed, but their big city brothers took the lion’s share. A senior from Day- ton Fairview took top honors to give that school the honor for two years in a row. Donald Etz of Spring Valley with a score of 244 is the only Greene eountain on the select list. One thing sure—this week no­ body should complain about be­ ing bothered with long distance calls. The nation mourns the death of one of its leading industrial men—Henry Ford. Many Greene countians will remember his visits to the home of his brother in law in Xenia. OUT OF TIIE BIG ROUND FILE—We get a copy of the ad­ dress o f Robert R. Young, who has skyrocketed into the railroad picture in recent year?, delivered at the annual dinner o f the Over­ seas Press club entitled “Notes of an International Meddler.” He’s pretty clever. In talking about the future he says “All signs indicate that America and Russia are resigned to this event­ uality, (war! although not one and a Mr. Downs. Most every community has its Upps and Downs. Reporting a pot luck supper, a correspondent says that when the viands were spread on the table they were “ not only pretty b u t delectable.” Delectability takes such precedence over pret­ tiness at pot luck suppers that most of us come away with pun- kin pie in our ears.

DUSTY MILLER Writes Patter A classified advertiser in a neighboring newspaper offers for sale "turkeys a n d a gobbler ready to lay.” That’s something I gotta see! People are funny, r.ot only a popular radio show; but in actual life, but about the funniest thing they do is selecting a steak from a waitress who shows it in the raw, and then having it grilled right beside him, before every­ body’s noses and ears, and then gobbling it down “in the presence o f mine enemies.” On the bus: “ Oh, slacks are all right In their place!” But it’s the place where you notice them most! An authority says that “ croon­ ing is a sort of swing.” The au­ thors of it ought to. I know o f nothing bettei- cal­ culated to reduce a man’s ego to zero than demonstrating to wife how to tie up a package for mailing. News item; “ Born, Mr. and Mrs. Orland Miller, a little son.” That’s the right size, anyhow. We read that Harry Swift, of East Monroe, has had the flu, which no doubt slowed him down. A family in a neighboring vil­ lage, according to the newspaper, open their home to John and Grace Woolums—taking woolums in when most folks are taking theirs off. I met a remarkable man the other day—he can read his own writing, A Mr. Young is offering his Olds for sale. Young’s Olds sounds appealing.

TYSON, London, Ohio What Do you think railroads make? The publicthinks we make 15% What do you think they should make? The publicthinks 10%wouldbefair the facts? Actually the railroadsearned oiriy2%%in1946. To provide the service youwant, railroads needto earn at least 6%. But estimates indicate that evenwith the recent freight rate increase, the returnfor 1947wil beonlyabout half that requirement. m Why it takes 6% to make the grade. . Impartialresearchpollsshowthat,onthe average,peoplethinkwemakel5%.Tkey also think a fair return would be 10%. What We Make ' But for “the year 1946, with the biggest peace-time traffic in history, the rail­ roads earned only . , . 2 M%. This is less than one-half the comparable earn­ ings for other industries. The reasons for this low return are not hard to find. Since 1939 railroad Wages have increased 526/io % and the prices o f fuel, materials and supplies have gone up 616/io%. But freight rates have just recently been increased an average o f only 17G/io%—a year after the effective date o f the last big wage increase, ^ WhatAbout This Year? It is estimated that the return for 1947, even with the recent freight rate in­ crease, will be only about half the 6% ynfmmnm return required to provide the improvements and service needed. This will be because o f increased costs o f materials and supplies; because cer­ tain wage increases granted in 1946 were in effect for only part o f 1946 but will be in effect for all o f 1947; because o f increased special payroll taxes on railroads; vand because of a decline in passenger business. What Does This Mean To You? The answer is “ Plenty!” Your standard o f living is the highest in the world be­ cause of m ass produ c tion . But mass production would not be possible with­ out MASS TRANSPORTATION, which the railroads provide at low cost. Why 6% Is Needed The kind o f service your standard o f living requires takes a lot o f money for new equipment and improvements. To carry out. the post-war- improvement program for better equipment, tracks, terminals and modem safety devices, a minimum return o f 6% is needed. So when the railroads make only 2M cents on each $1.00 o f their net prop­ erty investment, it concerns you.* The funds for future new equipment and improvementsmust come from rail­ road earnings and also from investors. They will furnish money on reasonable terms only if they have confidence in the future earnings o f the .railroads. You Have Another Stake In This Even i f you do not own any railroad stocks or bonds, insurance companies and savings banks do.' So you still have a speciaiinterest in seeing that the rail­ roads are allowed enough to do a good job . . . for you. We are publishing this and other advertisements to talkWith you at first hand about matters which are import taut to everybody. ♦On total property investment, the railroad! made only 2.19%. "■V j** i
