A Brief History of Jackson Twp., Putnam County William Welch and John Smith built their cabins in Section 34, about the year 1825 or 1826, being the first settlers of the township. In the year 1827, Othniel Talbott, from Shelby County, Ky., settled in Jackson where he found a Mr. Crabtree and Mr. Brown. Within the next five years came numerous hardy settlers who, with equal heroism, struggled with the hardships of pioneer life. David Johnson, son of John Johnson, born on Section 34, March 8, 1828, was the first white child bom in the township. The first who died was the daughter of Wilson Warford. She was buried east of New Maysville, in a lot on Section 26, which is unknown at this time whether it is still in use as li cemetery. The first marriage was that of Jesse Evans and Miss Bartima Welch. In the spring of 1831, the first school was taught by Mark Hardin, in a log building on (Section 26. John Crabtree was the first blacksmith. His shop was on the bank of Walnut Creek. John S. Talbott kept the first ■tore. In 1832, he commenced to sell goods in a log building on Bection 27. The building was later converted to a frame building and was located in New Maysville. The first mill erected in the township was built by Joseph Hillis. The next mill was built by George Sutherlin, and a later one by Abraham Hillis. The first and last named mills were located on Walnut Creek, the second on a small tributary. The last named ground corn only, the other two ground wheat, also. D. Barnes and Othniel Talbott were the first Justices of the Peace, and the first postmaster was John S. Talbott, the office having been established in his store in the year 1832. Dr. William Long, who located in the township in the year 1834, was the first physician. Other physicians were Drs. Owsley, McCandless and Rogers. The Methodists held the first meetings in the township, at the house of John Johnson, under the ministry of Rev. William Smith. Shiloh Church, on the east bank of Walnut, erected by this denomination, about the year 1834, was the first structure of the kind in the township. Rev. Thomas J. Brown dedicated the building
and preached the first sermon within those venerated walls. Lorenzo Dow, E. Wood, L. Smith, Joseph White and Eli Farmer were the pioneer Methodist preachers of Jackson Township. The conclusion of the history of Jackson Township will be featured next week, followed by a brief history of the other townships in the county.

World’s Greatest Tasters Are in Playpen Set The most adventurous tasters in the world arc under the age of five. They will taste anything they can touch. Annually, thousands of children, most of them under the age of five, sample medicines and household products of an astonishing variety. Although most recover, the experience can be a harrowing one — and is preventable in nine out of ten cases. The Council on Family Health, a non-profit organization created to promote health and safety in the home, has some pertinent sug-
gestions.
Most important is to look at your home through the eyes of your child. To him, it’s an exciting, colorful place with hundreds of things to touch and taste. (Recently a safety expert with a new addition to the family carried out a room by room inspection of his home and found 41 potentially poisonous substances within reach of a crawling child. He removed each one.) The room with the highest accident potential is the kitchen. Detergents, bleach, insecticides, floor polish, disinfectant, room deodorizers and even paints are often stored in floor-level cabinets behind easy-to-open doors. These products should be removed to a higher location, separate from food cabinets. Store pots and pans in the floor level
cabinets.
Knives, corkscrews, can openers and other sharp objects are often kept in waist-high drawers, within the reach of a child. They should be placed on wall racks or a high shelf. Electric outlets not in use can be covered with special plastic
caps.
During meal preparation, pots and pans should have their handles turned inward, away from a child’s grasp.
The bedroom can be a hazardous area for a child, particularly if his mother leaves medicines, Cosmetics, perfumes, lotions and sharp items such as nail files, tapered combs and tweezers on night tables or on low dressers. All should be stored out of sight
after use.
In the bathroom, all medicines and grooming aids should immediately be returned to their proper enclosed place. Medicine chests equipped with snap locks will deter the young climber from tasting products not de-
signed for his palate.
In short, to see your home with the eyes of a child is to be a most effective parent in preventing
needless accidents.

By Dick West WASHINGTON UPI — Some men are habitual punsters, including, I fear, y’r h'mbl’ c’rr’sp’nd’nt. Medical science isn’t sure what causes this condition. Certain doctors blame it on a hormone deficiency. Others say it is a metabolism imbalance. Still others suspect a psychiatric disturbance. For years I wouldn’t admit that I had become a problem punster. Not even to myself. I had fooled myself into believing I was only a social punster. Whenever the subject came up I would say, “I may indulge in a pun or two before dinner to help me relax, or spring a few at parties. But I make it a rule never to pun on the job.” I figured that as long as I punned in moderation there was nothing to worry about. This, of course, was a snare and a delusion. It is a well-documented fact that anyone who regularly resorts to puns, even in limited numbers, is already dependent upon them. The notion that he can stop anytime he pleases is selfdeception. In a typical case history, one pun leads to another until the temptation to play on words becomes overpowering. For someone in my line of work, this can be disastrous. Punning in the privacy of one’s own home is one thing; punning in the public print is quite another. It was my teen-age daughter who finally brought me to my senses and forced me to face reality. Through her, I came to see that it is a punster's family who suffers most from his weakness. The awaJcening occurred one evening this week when I saw a newspaper report that a graduate student at the California Institute of Technology had found a way to make water run uphill. He did this by adding a small quantity of polyethylene oxide
to the water. I called my wife and children into the living room and read the item aloud. Then I said “There is a much simpler way to accomplish the same result All you have to do is put a kosher pickle in the water.” “How could a pickle make water run uphill?” my wife inquired. “Well,” I said, “everybody knows that dill water runs steep.” There was an awkward silence, after which my daughter said, “I wish you wouldn’t do that, father. It makes me feel terribly insecure.” “Why so?’* “It reminds me that the livelihood of this entire family depends on your sense of humor,” she said. I knew then it was time I took the pledge. Can anyone tell me how you g o about joining punsters anonymous?

NEW YORK UPI -“Mam-, ma mia,” says Lauren Bacall as she celebrates her first year as a Broadway star. One year ago Thursday night Dec. 8, the tawny-haired Miss Bacall walked on stage in the comedy “Cactus Flower” and into her third career. The David Merrick show costarring Barry Nelson has played to standing room audiences every performance and the box office take is just a few dollars short of $3 million. “I’ve waited 40,000 years for this,” Miss Bacall said of Broadway stardom which followed success in the movies and as a model. Actually, she has had other state roles but none with such astounding success. Miss Bacall admits she faces a second year of eight performances weekly with mixed feelings. “The show is fun, but I’m tired,” she said. “If you’re in a hit you’re set. But you don’t develop. The public sees you in only one role. That’s one reason repertory companies are succeeding . . . the public sees you in different parts.” In an interview, the actress talked of many things in her habitually outspoken way. The range was from her selection for the cover of a news magazine’s feature on the mid-dle-aged to the U.S. role in Viet Nam. Time magazine’s cover story called her 41. “That makes me just barely eligible for middle age,” she said, “but I’ll take a cover any time.” On Viet Nam, she says, “I don’t know why we’re there. I can understand why we fought Hitler . . . But I can’t understand these piddling little things. It’s not really explained to us what’s going on there . . . why 18 and 19-year-olds have to get shot at, why we always have to move into other countries problems . . ."
She’s for the U.N.—“U Thant’s a thinking man . . . but he can’t negotiate the way he wants.” Lauren Bacall, New York bom and the product of a broken home, began modeling even before she finished high school. By the time she was 18, she was on the covers of leading fashions publications. Hollywood then beckoned and many of her films including her first hit “To Have and Have Not” were opposite “Bogey.” She and Bogart had two children, Stephen, now 17, and Leslie, 14. Her second marriage is to Jason Robards, whom she calls “America’s greatest actor.” The couple has one child, Sam nearly 5. Even as she moves into a second year on Broadway, the actress is moving into another medium-in her first dancing role on television. She and John Forsythe will star in “The Light Fantastic” on ABC's Stage 67, scheduled for Feb. 8.
For Alma Scott Mrs. Alma Scott, 73, Amo, passed away in the Putnam County Hospital at 5 p. m. Thursday where she had been a patient since November 9. Mrs. Scott was bom in Taylor County, Kentucky, Jan. 28, 1893. Surviving are three sons, Carl Scott of Louisville, Ky., Wayne Scott of Cartersburg and Gene Scott of Indianapolis; two daughters, Mrs. Faye Delozier of Louisville, Ky., and Mrs. Ruby Pleake of Stilesville Route 2. Also surviving are two brothers. Jack Purvis of Stilesville and Garrett Purvis, and one sister, Mrs. Eva Cavert of Louisville, Ky. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock at the Weaver Funeral Home in Coatesville. Burial will be in the Amo Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home.
'n Memory
In memory of my father, Harvey Bettis, who passed away Dec. 11, 1950. Oft’ times we wish for silver and gold. When in our hands a treasure we hold, The sound of his voice calling at the door, His gentle step as he crossed the floor. His tender smile as he came in view, A helping hand I so well knew. These are the treasures I once did hold, That cannot be bought with silver or gold. My father is not with me now, Yet somehow he lives on, I hope my children think of me, The same way when I m gone. Mrs. Ruth Alexander
