SQUARE SITE is IDEAL
FOR COMMUNITY HOUSE

The Community House committee
having in hand the securing of site
for the proposed new auditorium and
gym that the people of Medina are
interested in, met for consultation on
Monday evening. Nothing definite has
been accomplished in making choice
of site for the simple reason that q
suitable site is in mind, and the owner
can't so far, bring himself to give il
up. The Public Square site is ideal;
it is ideal, too, for the home to which
it is now devoted.
There is hope, however, that the
present owner will give his consent to
sell. Despite the fact that it's owne,
has lived a long time in his present
home, and has always planned to die
there when he runs life's course, mer
who know the benefits that woulo
certainly come to the community
from the dedication of this site to the
public use proposed feel that the
owner is too broad man to stand in
the way of so great community
progress, and that with time to think
the matter over the present owner
will in fact urge that his home be
taken for the improvement.
There could be no greater monu-
ment to the public spirit of the pres
ent holder than to sell, for fair re-
muneration, tbs ideal site for the
new Community House.

FLEE FROM BURNING
HOME IN NIGHT ATTIRE

Fire which had gained an hours
start before it's discovery caused the
destruction of the Markle dwelling or
Abbeyville road Sunday and nearly
caused the death of the occupants.
The farm is what is better known
as the Frank Brintnall property
Since fall it has been occupied by a
family named Markle, who came out
from Cleveland. The fire started in
the rear of the house, presumably
caught from a defective chimney. The
family were asleep in the other part
of the dwelling, upstairs, and were
unaware of the conflagration until
escape via the stairway had been en-
tirely cut off. They finally succeeded,
however, in gaining the ground by
way of a window.
The entire structure was consumed,
as we'll as the contents, while the
only clothing saved was what the
family were wearing at the time OF
the alarm. 1t is thought that the fire
had been burning an hour or more be-
fore any alarm was felt. The build
ing was partly covered by insurance.

VILLAGE LOSES ONE
OF OLDEST CITIZENS
Christopher Washburn Dies
Suddenly. Was Resident of
Medina Over Fifty Years
Ago. |
WOULD HAVE BEEN 80
YEARS, OLD XMAS DAY

Christopher Washburn, one of Me.
dina villages oldest citizens, passed
away at his home on Monday evening
of this week after a short illness. Hao
Mr.. Washbuln lived until Christmas
day he would have been 81 years Of
age.
Christopher Washburn was born al
West Warren, Mass, on Dec. 25, 1928
When but a young man he followed
the life of a whaler and sailed on
many long and dangerous journeys
His late home is filled with
trophies, such as poisoned arrows
skulls, and other weapons and curios
gathered while plying his trade.
On Sept. 8, 1850 he was united in
marriage to Frances E. Richmond
who is year his senior and who sur
wives him. Their Goth wedding ami
versary was celebrated at their home
the past September.
About so years ago Mr.. Washburn
moved to Medina, where he lived for
a number of years, but later moved to
Elyria. Some eight or ten years ago
however, the couple returned to Me-
dina which has since been their home.
Four children were born to the
union, two of whom survive-Mary
Ella,of Elyria, and Julai, practicing
physician at Lexington, Ky. George
Washbun, of Medina, is grandson,
while County Auditor Washburn is a
great-nephew.
Mr.. Washbu1n has been in very
feeble health, due to the infrmities of
age, but had been able to be up and
around and was on the streets but a
short time ago. Monday he was sud-
denly taken ill and it was but a short
time until death ensued, due to what
is commonly known as hardening of
the arteries.
Funeral services were held from
the late home at 2 p. m. on Wednes.
day, Dec. "a, and burial was made at
Spring Grove cemetery.

Real Heroism Of Birds.
One story is told OF the case OF a
bird which was struck BY a piece OF
shra1nel while hOmeward bound with
message. Both Of its legs were
broken. and the aluminium message
holder was imbedded IN the flesh by
the force Of the bullet But it
struggled OF and on. falling dead at
the feet Of the loft attendant. The
message proved TO be a pressing one,
and the soldiers we're heartily IN
favor Of awarding the 6. c. to this
bird for its great display or courage
Another bird was released from a
seanlane which had fallen and was
being shelled by a German destroyer
The bird rose quickly and circled
about to get its bearings Shots re-
sounded from the deck OF the de-
stroTer. the bird stopped short in its
flight. and a stream Of falling teath-
ers told that It had been his After
a short fan. the bird recovered and
flew homeward under great difficulty.
Within half an hour three British
war vessels had arrived on the scene.
The Germans fled and the aviators
were rescued With body and wings
lacerated. this heroic bird had flown
13 miles to a naval air station. and
given the alarm
IL was the messages carried to the
rear hv pigeons that saved "the lost
battalion more than anything else.
