PATRIOTIC SERVICE

On Sunday evening $50 people gath
cred at the Methodist church to attend
one of the most elaborate patriotic
services ever given in Medina.
The church had been beautifully dec
Grated by Harold Ziegler, assisted by
Weyland Hyde and Harold Waite, with
flags of all sizes and yards Of bunting.
Never before has the church looked so
beautiful. At $50 the organist and
director played prelude, in which the
hymns, "The Son of God Goes Forth
to War;" and America" came out
prominently.
AS professional the choir of SO
voices used the song America, the
Beautiful, after which Rev. Kelser
led in prayer. Miss Ensign sang the
solo 20 Columbia the Gem of the
Ocean," with the choir singing the
chorus. It was made very effective
by spot light being thrown on the
singers. Miss Ensign's costume rep
resented columbia" and a chorus of
Is boys and girls, each draped with a
flag, formed a pretty background with
the choir proper in their vestmerts in
the choir loft. In the rear of the
choir loft amidst the flags were two
| fine pictures Of Washington and Lin
coin.
The next entertaining feature was
the raising of large flag in the arch
of the loft by the Boy Scouts. The
church was darkened and at a chord
from the organ the Scouts, under di-
rection of Assistant Scoutmaster Prit-
chard, arose and saluted the flag and
chorus rose and sang The Star Spang-
led Banner as beautiful red spot
light played over the choir and Scouts
and the flag rose to its heighth in the
arch.
Rev. Ross delivered a very pleasing
and capable address. dwelling upon the
careers Of Washington and Lincoln.
After the sermon the Junior choir
sang song "Ther's No Land Like
Ours" under direction of Mrs. H. H.
! Hartzog. Miss Gish sang the solo,
"Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" in
a very creditable manner, after which
\ Alfred Dannley played "Angel's Ser
Y enade" as an offertory, which is al
4 ways a favorite, especially as q clari-
net solo.
The lights were Off and again the
spotlight followed the bugler, who
gave the retreat as the flag was low
cred, after which the chorus sang
aAmericas which closed the service.A
N Much praise was spoken for the di.
s rector, Mr.. Beck, who had charge q
the service, for bringing such an ef1
fective program AZ this time.

COMMISSIONERS
PROTEST AMENDMENT

The county commissioners received
a letter last Saturday from Richard
Sinclair, chairman Of the Ohio Legis-
lative committee, regarding a move
ment recently discovered to amend a
section Of Senate Bill 100, which reads
as follows:
when the Board Of Commis-
Sioners has determined that any
road shall be constructed, inn
proved or repaired ais herein pro-
vided for. such board shall de-
termine the
route and termini Of such road,
the KIND and extent Of the i'm
provement."
The proposed amendment is to strike
out the word "kind, which would take
away the present authority in the Sc
lection Of materials and type of the
road, and by another provision place
the authority in the hands Of the sur
veyor.
In his letter Mr.. Sinclair points out
that such an amendment would be a
dangerous and wholly unnecessary one
the county commissioners of the state
thereby becoming mere figure heads,
appropriating moneys which some one
else would spend. The letter is one
of similar letters sent out by the Leg
islative committee to the county COM
missioners Of each county in the state
asking as to whether or not the com.
nittee shall protest against the pro-
posed amendment.
AT. their meeting Monday the county
commissioners formulated the follow
ing reply ana adopted it as resolu-
ton:
Mr. Richard Sinclair.
Columbus, 0.
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor
0f the 16th, will say that we, the
C6fnslis sionefs 0f Medina county
do hereby enter our protest
against the proposed amendment
of Senate Bill 100 and ask your
honorable body to use your influ
ence to defeat same.
We believe that the judgment
of three men would be better for
the public than the judgment Of
one man; also believe that the en-
gineer has too much authority as
it is.
We, the commissioners, do
i adopt the above letter as resolu-
ton.
The Cass highway law placed |
great deal Of authority in the hands o
the county surveyor, which power wa
| formerly held by the commissioners
making them, even now, mere figure
heads in the construction Of roa'
work. If this, the last straw, is takel
from their control, they will be mer
fgureheads, indeed.

SCHOOL GETS REAL WORK

The advanced section Of the busi-
ness department Of Medina high school
is working On a set Of six thousand let
ters for the Al. !. Root Go. This is d
piece Of work which requires careful
attention to detail and absolute ac-
curacy in transcribing, and SO is a
valuable drill for those doing the work
in the local business department.
The local high school just finished a
similar piece Of work involving several
thousand pieces of mail for another
firm in the village. This is real
work and gives one some idea Of the
scope and efficiency Of the instruction
given in the Medina high school.
