MEDINA TO HAVE
COMFORT STATION
PLANS ARE UNDER WAY
TO BUILD THIS YEAR
Kiwanis Club Initiates Movement and
Will Have Cooperation Of Commun-
ity Organization. Selection Of Site
Now Under Amusement.

The need of public comfort sta
ton in Medina has been known anc
conceded for long time, and once OF
twice a feeble effort has been made
without avail.
During the past week the question
has been revived, and with such vim
that the outlook for this much-needed
accommodation is now not only brigh,
but there is determination to pro-
vide it this year, if possible.
The matter was taken up by the
Kiwanis club two weeks ago, and q
committee, consisting of D. w. Shep.
ard, F. p. Bagley and J. H. Adams
was appointed to test the public pulse
concerning the proposal, and to oh.
tain plans and estimated cost. The
committee acted with the customary
Kiwanis promptness, and submitted
their report at the Kiwanis luncheon
last Friday.
From a well-known Cleveland archi-
tect plans and drawings were obtain
ed, and the estimated cost fixed at
$4,000.
To obviate the possibility of any
misunderstanding Of its motives, the
Kiwanis club, rather than to assume
the full responsibility of the move
mnet, arranged for a meeting Monday
morning of this week with representa-
tives of the Community organization,
for the purpose Of exchanging views
and to agree upon some plan by which
both organizations may unite for the
common good. This meeting was
well attended, elected considerable
discussiorA> and resulted in supple
menting the Kiwanis committee by
two members Of the Community or
ganization, whose duties will be to
investigate suitable sites, and to re-
port as soon as possible.
The plans already submitted are
for a comfort station in the park,
probably on the site of the present
band stand, the latter to be removed
to the east side Of the park, a more
satisfactory location. The building
as outlined in the architectural draw
ingE is very artistic, commodious, and
would contain rest room, heating IA
cilities and all requirements Of a
modern cUififort station.
sa No site that may be found available
will meet with the approval of every
one, but it is the purpose to ascertain
the consensus of opinion before de-
cision is made, and then proceed to put
the move across with alacrity.
If the comfort station is to be To-
Gated in the park, the County Com
Jmissioners have expressed willing
ness to assist in financing the propo-
sition in behalf Of the county, provid-
ing they can do so legally.
There is no doubt in the minds of
those who are initiating this move
ment that>the matter of financing it
will be the least Of the difficulties to
be encountered.

FOR STATE CLINICS
COUNTY ANSWERS
ALL REQUIREMENTS
Has Been Made and Co.
operation of Kiwanis Club Will be
Asked by County Health Comis-
sioner at Luncheon Today.

/ 1t is the plan OF the SCate UeparC'
| ment of Health in operation with tht
| district board Of health and the medi
lcal profession and with the assistance
| Of the Ohio Public Health Association
Il the RedCross and other kindred organ
Iizations to select a rural health dis
trict for purposes Of experiment, anc
efforts are already being put forward
to have Medina county selected for the
experimental work.
County Health Commissioner Brint-
nall, who has been officially Informed
of the plan, Immediately made forma
application to the state department
| and will ask the cooperation Of the
Klwanis club at the latter's weekly
luncheon today. 49,
The official health organization OF
the district selected will be supple.
mented and it's activities directed fol-
the purpose Of demonstrating the
meaning and results of an adequate
and effective health service.
A similar experiment was conduct
ed by the National Association fol-
the Prevention of tuberculosis in
Framington, Mass, which was closely
observed by sanitarians throughout
the country, and that city became fam
Gus because of it from one end Of the
country to the other.
It is probable that Medina county,
were it to be selected for the proposed
demonstration, will become equally
famous, and the resulting publicity
could be expected to be of such whole
some character as to benefit not only
the district, but also inspire surround
ing counties to improve their health
service.
The plan will be developed around
the health center or health service
station. This is building housing the
health department and other social
and welfare agencies. Clinics Of all
kinds will be held here tuberculosis,
venereal ,orthepedic, pediatric, eye, ear
nose and throat, and general medical.
The clinics are not meant to take the
place of the general practitioner or
specialist, but to supplement their
work by making such services avail
able toN the poor and to others who
would not otherwise avail themselves
of medical attention.
While the officials Of the State De-
partment Of Health have not yet Sc
lected the county in which the demon
stration, is to be made, the Sentinel is
Uniformed that the compara-
tive advantages of several counties are
being weighed carefully. The county
to be selected must conform to the fol-
lowing requirements:
It must be rural county, with no
city over 10000 population
The roads must be passable in win
ter and spring so that the work will
not be subject to seasonable Interrupt
tions.
The cooperation of the health de-
partment, the medical profession, the
local chapter of the Red Cross and of
all other official and voluntary agen-
cies must be assured.
The county must reciprocate in the
work, which is to be under local aus
pices after outside assistance has been
given for a reasonable time.
Let's try and make Medina the
birmingham Of Ohio.

ADDS NEW SAFEGUARD

The Savings Deposit Bank Com
lpany, with a view to safeguarding
Estill more completely the interests Of
tits depositors, has just installed new
fires end hurglar-proof vault Of the
latest and most approved type. n
The vault, constructed Of steel anc
concrete, is guarded by two steel doors
weighing nearly five tons which will
resist not only drilling but also acety-
Elene torch now frequently employed
by yeggmen. It is of course, proof
against explosives.
The entrance doors are built up SOL
i'd, Of two inches of open hearth steel
one of 5-ply drill-proof steel, and one
of torch proof. Solid, gooseneck
crane hinges support it, with special
ball, roller and crown bearings and
patent frictionless screws to remove
the strain and take up slack weight.
A heavily proportioned pressure sys-
tenn, with double horizontal and single
vertical bars, drawn by worm and bev-
ell gears enclosed in dust-proof circu-
lar drum housings, give added
strength. ...
The big doors are locked by eigh-
teen 3-4 inch bolts, secured to and
operated by a system of heavy carry
ing bars, which are sd designed as to
balance each other. The combina-
ton locks and three-movement r.
hour time lock secure the door. The
bolt work is covered by French plate
glass set in solid, welded steel angle
frame, attached to the bolt frame in
having hinges and fastened with a
flat key lock.
Entrance to the vestibule is guard
ed by an ornamental day gate, hinged
to the inner face of the door joint and
provided with an alarm bell attach
ment.
The vestibule is surrounded on the
outer edge with heavy steel archi-
traves, chambered in the inner edge
and neatly mitered at the upper cor
ners. The door is the work of the
Diebold Safe and Lock Company of
Canton.
This new equipment gives The Saw
ings Deposit Bank Company up to
date protection. The institution is,
also, fully covered by insurance
against any loss by day hold-up.

college, thru which l had worked my
way, friend asked me what ! had
decided to do for a living. told
him that I had no definite aim at that
time, but that one thing was certain
and that was that should never speak
pieces for a living. In less than two
years" continued Newens, "I was do.
ing that very thing, and was happy in
the work"
Some years later Newens was in
Lincoln, Neb., calling on a friend who
was connected with the University
School of Music of that city. During
our conversation" said Newens, "my
friend asked me how I would like to
be connected with that institution. |
replied that of all things in the world
/ could think Of that wouldn's want
to DO, that of linking up with school
of music would be the last. It was
not long thereafter until I was not
only associated with this well-known
seat Of learning, but as it's president,
and in the duties of which no man
could be happier than l."
Newens lectured in Elyria last Sat-
urday night and that he might speak
at the morning service of the Metho-
dist church here Sunday, D. R. Pei
ton drove to Elyria to get him.
Fulfilling ones obligations was the
theme Of Newen's Sunday morning
address, in which he declared that
every one was obligated in some way
to another, and that these obligations
be met should be of ones first con-
Germ. The auditorium was filled.
Mr.. Newens has addressed Medina
audiences before, his last previous lee
ture having been delivered in the Con-
gregational church about a dozen
years ago, during the pastorate of
Rev. Kirby.

SIDE-LIGHTS ON>ADRIAN M. NEWENS

Adrian M. Newens, the celebrated
monologist, whose work here Sunday
night proved to be one of the chief
features of the local Chautauqua sea-
son, was born in Medina village, edu-
jcated in our public schools, and is
known personally to a great many Of
our citizens, with whom he mingled
land exchanged greetings during the
brief time he was here.
In conversation with the editor of
the Sentinel, Mr.. Newens related
many interesting incidents connected
with his life since he left his boyhood
home at the age of seventeen years.
Perhaps, the one that has left the
greatest impress upon his heart, oc-
Cured at the time he decided to leave
Medina to carve for himself a career
in the great world then lying new be-
fore him.
GAS / was about to go away" said
Mr.. Newens, "a man laid in my hand
a document, with the remark that it
might be of use to me in securing enl-
ployment away from home. Examin-
ing it, found it to be statement ad-
dressed to whom it may concern, pro-
claiming me as an honest, upright lad,
and worthy of employment. It bore
the signatures Of nearly if not all of
the business men Of Medina at that
time. Indeed it was of help to me"
said Mr.. Newens, "and ] shall never
forget the kindness of those who sign
ed that statement, much less that
great heart who was sponsor for it
Ephraim Brenner."
: Asked how he came to engage in
platform work, Mr.. Newens replied,
"I do not know. Somehow" he con-
tinued, "my life seems to have been
made up Of negatives. To Illustrate,
he said, "when I was about to leave
