Cork Advancing Monoger Our View Businesses take lead in Hilltop fund drive Toy-related injuries fall There's also, according to in free from It appears that a recently announced fund drive by the Coshocton Foundation to improve the Hilltop- Golf Course did not take long to gain the support of several community-minded businesses. Bank One and Pretty Products Inc. already have announced pledges to support the fund-raising effort, which will attempt to collect $400,000 for badly needed renovation work at the course once considered to be one of central Ohio's finest. A number of management changes and a lack of work and funds put into the course have fueled its demise in recent years, but the Coshocton Foundation purchased the troubled links in October and begin planning for its resurgence as a local attraction and point of pride. Working in cooperation with the city, the foundation bought the layout and began leasing it to Coshocton as a municipal course.

Once the funds necessary to bring the course up to par are secured, the foundation plans to turn Hilltop over to the city. Having obtained the services of golf course architect Ferdinand Garbin of Pittsburgh, the foundation now knows what needs to be done and is in need only of cash with which to finish the task. The fund, drive was launched as an appeal, to local businesses and individuals interested in the continued development and improvement of the Coshocton area. While the first large pledges already have been secured, it is not surprising that tfcey come from businesses such as Bank One and Pretty Products. These two local businesses are usually at the forefront of community efforts such as this, along with other concerns that realize there is more to being a "corporate citizen" than just doing business.

The would-be Stalinists, many of whom are too young to remember the genuine article, are upset at the inefficiency of the tyrant's successors. How did the Egyptian government arrive at the conclusion that its bellicose next-door neighbor, Libya, was responsible for the mysterious mines that threatened shipping in the Suez Canal last summer? I'm told it was the CIA that gave the reluctant Egyptians hard evidence that the mining was the work of Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi. The Egyptians, for all their steamy rhetoric, are not anxious to escalate their war of words with Libya into a real, live shooting war. The United States has given its approval to an intelligence-sharing system involving two pro-American Arab countries, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Between 1980 and 1983, according to census figures, income for the typical black family fell 5.3 percent, after ajusting for inflation a decline that left the typical black family $818 poorer. The average black family from the richest to the ooorest suffered a decline in disposable income ana standard of living since 1980. Berry's The goodwill shown by Bank One and Pretty Products toward the present and future state of Coshocton will be repaid by the standing the community accords them. It is like Bank One official Orville Fuller stated: "Whatever is good for Coshocton is good for the bank." This holds true for other business concerns and individuals in the community. Support for the Hilltop renovation project is more than just improving a golf it is an affirmation of pride in the local area that sets communities, such as Coshocton apart from others cities that go unchanged.

We know other local businesses have plans to donate to the renovation drive, and we urge each one to consider giving as much as possible to make the golf Course as much an asset to the Lake Park Complex as possible. A word must also be said here about the city's ambitious desire to be involved in such a project. We are indeed fortunate that our city officials have, the foresight to realize the potential in the Lake Park area and what further development out there can bring to the city in the future. Those considering moves to Coshocton, whether industries, businesses or individuals, will invariably look at what the area has to offer in terms of recreation as one of the main factors in any decision. A well-developed recreation complex, such as the one being put together beside the equally attractive Roscoe Village area, could be the difference between new industry and jobs for the community or stagnation.

The city deserves credit for trying to ensure that the future of Coshocton lies in progress and growth, rather than in sameness and stagnation. and now it has expanded to the South." Noting that the baby boom generation Americans in their 20s and 30s In Washington By Robert Walters has been especially supportive of GOP candidates in recent elections, Republican pollster Robert Teeter suggested that "age is the key dimension" because of the overwhelming size of that generation. "Undoubtedly there will be a proportion (of younger voters) who will not stay in the party," Wirthlin acknowledged. But the fact that so many have cast their first votes for Republican candidates gives the GOP an edge, he insisted. The Republicans' 59 percent share of the vote in this year's presidential election has been widely publicized, but Teeter noted that the GOP also received 52 percent of all ballots cast in 1984 gubernatorial races and almost 50 percent of all votes in contested elections for House seats.

Internal data I've seen, compiled by analysts at the Consumer Product Safety Commission, show that the number of toy-related injuries has been declining steadily each year since the government began leaning on toy makers. Not only that, but the marjority of toy-related injuries had little or nothing to do with the way the toys were designed or made. That old reliable "human error" was the culprit.

Here's the story: A briefing package by the safety commission's staff analysts last month said that "data available to CPSC on toy-related injuries for calendar year 1983 show a continued decline in the number of estimated injuries over the past several years." There were 5,000 fewer toy-related injuries reported last year than the 123,000 chalked up in 1982. But the eye-opener is this: As Pogo put it, we have met the enemy and they are us. "Most accidents with toys seen in 1983," the agency staff reports, "occurred when a child or adult fell on, tripped over or was hit by a toy." Obviously, there's little a manufacturer or doting relative can do to eliminate the klutz factor among toy recipients and those near to them short of making and choosing nothing but pillows for the little stickies. Even the second-place category involves at least the possibility that the users, not the toys, were primarily responsible for the accident. "Falls from riding toys were the second most frequently reported toy-related injury," the staff reported.

It adds a warning that grandparents and similar boosters of precocious tots might well heed: "Because of the occurrence of more serious injuries in the l-to-3 year old group, it may be appropriate to consider the age at which children are capable of handling some riding toys." The staff report did caution, however, that "while the decline in the number of injuries reported for the year may indicate that toys, as a class, may be safer, it cannot be assumed that all toys are safer or completely scores of GOP candidates "throughout the country, for national-level Republican committees and for President Reagan's campaign organization. But their conclusions are supported by the results of surveys conducted by numerous non-partisan, independent researchers, including the prestigious Gallup Organization. Gallup polls of almost 6,000 men and women in the two months immediately prior to this year's elections found that 39 percent of all respondents identified themselves as Democrats, 35 percent described themselves as Republicans and the remaining 26 percent said they were independents. That slim disparity of 4 percentage points represents the narrowest spread in party affiliation since 1946. The new Gallup figures present an especially striking contrast with survey results in mid-1977, in the wake of the Watergate scandal when the GOP's popularity was at its nadir.

At that time, the Gallup poll found 49 percent Democrats, 20 percent Republicans and 31 percent independ ents. Segments of the population among which the Republicans more than doubled their support between mid-1977 and this fall include potential voters under 30, blue-collar workers and Southerners. In addition, Republican strength almost doubled during the past seven years among clerical and sales workers, members of union households and Westerners. Agency data showed that toy-related deaths 16 last year and 10 so far this year "are related more closely to the child's ability to deal with the nature of the tov than to problems with the toy." The report explained: "This is best illustrated by the fact that half the deaths involved children who chok-. ed on balloons, rode tricycles into pools or were struck by a motor vehicle while riding a tricycle." Merry-Go-Round By Jack Anderson Toy makers have also shown less reluctance than they once did to correct design or manufacturing problems: Danara International voluntarily thousands of "Walt Disney Character Squeek-a-Toys" and offered full refunds.

Stahlwood Manufacturing did the same with its "Thumper" line' of animal heads on handles. Fisher-Price voluntarily recalled 278,000 "Splash and Stack Bluebirds" as a possible choking hazard, and then redesigned the toy. Blue Box Toys voluntarily recalled 50,000 "Combat Copters" that had caused 18 cases of facial lacerations in the first year of sales. The company is offering full refunds. CONFIDENTIAL FILE: The current, still tentative rehabilitation of Josef Stalin occurring in the Soviet Union is more than just a way to deal with the upcoming 40th anniversary of the World War II triumph over Hitler and the obvious necessity of at least mentioning the man who was ruling the Soviet Union at the time.

Clarence has It has long been a conceit of conservative white politicians that blacks consistently vote against them only because blacks are persuaded to do so by crafty, silver-tongued orators and wily professional agitators who probably receive a cash bonus for each black vote they deliver. In support of this position, a generation of white supremacists in the South has railed against the black bloc-vote. For these men and their Confederate intimates, black politica awareness was created solely by ungodly manipulators and agitators. Left to their own infantile devices, they suggested, blacks would either not vote at all, or would eagerly vote for them, voluntarily electing the architects of American apartheid. Now Clarence Pendleton Jr.

has joined that ancient chorus. The chair- man of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights charged in a recent speech that black leadership had once again led the malleable black masses into a "political- Jonestown" on Election Day, when 90 percent of all black votes were cast against Pendleton's sponsor, Ronald Reagan. Black leadership arranged this, Pendleton charged, despite "tremendous progress in literacy, economics, employment and housing" made under Reagan's leadership. Well, carry me back to 01' Virgin-ny, cause, that's where the corn grows as high as the big whopper Clarence Pendleton told.

A memory failure may be responsible for his having temporarily forgotten what life was like in the land of cotton. But there's no excuse for the chairman of the civil rights commission not to know the sorry state pf civil rights and equal opportunity under this administration. And there's no forgetting the insult to black Americans implicit in his charge that blacks had to be told how to vote by Jesse Jackson, Vernon Jordan and Benjamin Hooks. Chickens don't have to be told to stay away from Col. Sanders, and blacks didn't have to be told that Ronald Reagan represents a danger to them.

Here are the facts, Clarence: Since your patron became president, infant death rates have increased in 11 Republicans are optimistic DES MOINES, Iowa (NEA) The annual meetings of the Republican Governors Association have not been notably joyous events in recent years, principally because the RGA's membership has been severely depleted by election losses. Although Republicans controlled two-thirds of the nation's governorships in the late 1960s, the party has held fewer than one-third of those posts throughout the past decade. This year's elections produced only a modest increase in GOP strength, from IS to 16 gubernatorial seats. But there was an unmistakable aura of optimism when the RGA met here recently, because election results and surveys indicate that the country's electorate has been turning increasingly Republican in recent years. "There is absolutely no question that the face of American politics, at least in its partisan dimension, has been altered dramatically," Republican pollster Richard Wirthlin noted during the RGA meeting.

"We ran extremely well far beyond our expectations among key groups of voters," Wirthlin added. "The move toward the Republican Party started in the West in the 1970s Your View Hale is not To The Editor: It has only been 9 years ago, that the Coshocton Fire Department lost one of their men, Captain Wilmer Hale in a fire on East Main Street. His life was taken by a wall of bricks approximately 30 feet high, which was weakened by the collapsing of part of a roof and heat of the building. This fire occured on December 16, 1975, at approximately 5 p.m. Wilmer was off duty at the time of the call, but responded immediately, and then as senior captain, took charge at the fire ground.
