  Sergeant W. C. McCleery, Com-
  mander of the Steubenville State
  Highway Patrol Post, announced
  that young men from this area

  a.m. (E.S.T.) at the Cambridge
  headquarters of the Patrol.
  Sergeant McCleery emphasized
  the fact that the testing will be
  conducted on a Saturday. He
  stated, "We feel that the Saturday
  date will be much more con-

  find it difficult to take time off
  during the week".

to begin training July 6, 1966 at

Patrol today, more than ever be-
fore, offers a real opportunity for
a career in public service to
young men who are not satisfied
with just-a-job. The excellence
of the traffic law enforcement ef-
forts of Ohio's Patrol has earned
it a reputation of being the Num-
ber One enforcement agency of its
type in the country, and national
recognition by top traffic safety
officials. To become an Ohio
Highmwy Patrolma is to start at
tN* tohe t$"

young men to contact him as soon

     "Bells For Freedom"
 State Treasurer John D. Herbert
 launched a statewide appeal for
 Ohioans to observe the Fourth of
 July weekend with the tolling of
 bells to herald the signing of the
 Declaration of Independence and
 also to remind motorists to drive
 safely over the holiday weekend.
 Herbert, appointed Ohio Chair-
 man of the "Bells for Freedom,
 Bells for Safety" campaign this
 week by Gov. James A. Rhodes,
 said he is coordinating the Fourth
 of July program with Warren C.
 Nelson, Director of the Depart-
 ment of Highway Safety, and P. E.
 Masheter, Highway Director.
 The State Treasurer explained
 the "Bells for Freedom, Bells for
 Safety" program has a twofold
 purpose - to place renewed em-
 phasis on the anniversary of the
 signing of the Declaration of In-
 dependence and to promote traf-
 fic safety over the three and a
 quarter-day holiday period in an
 effort to curtail traffic accidents
 and fatalities.
 Herbert and Nelson said Ohio's
 bell-ringing holiday begins at 6
 p.m., Friday, July 1, when the
 actual traffic count begins.
 Nelson said he hoped church
 bells, fire house bells, and other
 bells in public buildings would toll
 at 6 p.m., Friday, July 1, to ini-
 tially remind motorists of the
 need to exercise extreme caution
 when on the highways. The High-
 way Safety Director added he was
 hopeful these same bells would
 peal again at 6p.m., Saturdayand
 again at the same time Sunday as-
 daily reminders to the motoring
 public.
 Herbert said the bell - ringing
 holiday will be climaxed at 2 p.m.,
 E. D. T., July 4th, when every
 Ohioan having access to a bell
 would ring it for four minutes. It
 was at approximately this time on
 July 4, 1776, that the Declaration
of Independence was signed.


Ohio's Congressman-at-Large
Robert E. Sweeney hintroduced a
bill to establish a National
Cemetery in the State of Ohio.
The bill directs the Secretary of
the Army to '"acquire such land
in the State of Ohio as may be re-
quired for the establishment of a
burial ground for our veteran
dead."
In a previous exchange of let-
ters  with  President Johnson,
Congressman Sweeney pointed
out that within a few years the
space in our National Cemeteries
would soon be exhausted. He
stated ',Many estimates that I
have received would indicate that
Arlington Cemetery in Virginia
would exhaust all available land
within the next 20 years. This
being true, I believe that the Uni-
ted States government should plan
now to establish national ceme-
teries in various regions of the
United States."
The Congressman then pointed
out the present situation dis-
criminates against Ohio veter-
ans. Mr. Sweeney said "There
seems to be a geographic in-
equity dating back from the Civil
War period concerning the loca-
tion of national cemeteries for
example the State of Virginia
has 17 such national cemeteries
and Kentucky, which abuts Ohio,
has five. Ohio has none.'
The Congressman went on to
point out that procurement of
National Cemeteries would cost
the Federal government little.
S-During the recent past few years
there has been a national program
to phase out and close many Fe-
deral facilities within the State of
Ohio. There is a tremendous in-
ventory of Federal property in


Campaign Launched
  The State Treasurer said the
  Fourth of July was celebrated by
  the ringing of bells during A-
  merica's first 100years. "Ican't
  think of a better or more appro-
  priate way to display our patrio-
  tism than to have everyone owning
  a bell or having access to a bell to
  get it ringing on the Fourth to joy-
  ously proclaim the birthday of
  American  Independence,"   he
said.
  "I'm hopeful that Ohio's news-
papers, radio and television sta-
tions, civic and patriotic organi-
zations, churches, cities, towns,
counties, and townships will all
help   promote   a   good  old-
fashioned bell-ringing holiday to
celebrate our nation's birthday
and at the same time remind
motorists that life is too pre-
cious to lose in a highway acci-
dent," Herbert added.
  He suggested that radio stations
play a bell record periodically
over the weekend with special
emphasis placed on July 4th at 2
p.m., E.D.T., when American
Independence became a fact.
  Herbert also suggested that
broadcasting stations follow the
special 2 p.m. observance on the
Fourth with a recitation of the
Declaration of Independence "to
-remind all of us of our deep
heritage."
Nelson said the Ohio Depart-
ment of Highway Safety is agan
promoting a death-free holiday
period, although statisticians es-
timate that 33 persons will lose
their lives over the July 4th
weekend between 6 p.m. Friday,
July 1, and midnight July 4th.
  Masheter said highway depart-
ment personnel will patrol about
950 miles of the state's inter-
state highway system to lend as-
sistance to stranded motorists.
This will allow the Highway
Patrol to devote full time to traf-
fic enforcement.


the Buckeye State. A study should
be undertaken to determine the
feasibility of using some of this
surplus land for a national ceme-
tery site."
In conclusion the Congressman
stated "There is no excuse for
the United States government to
shy away from its responsibili-
ties to provide burial space for
men who have given their lives
in defense of the Republic. The
time honored right of a war ve-
teran to a plot in a national
cemetery must not become a thing
of the past."
