WEDS FRENCH WOMAN
HIS BROTHER Tilted
The Woman Comes Here From
France, Claiming Promises
From Soldier Boy Across
the Sea-"
THE MORAL is: "ALL'S
WELL THAT ENDS WELL"

A wedding of more than usual in
terest was performed on Tuesday af-
ternoon of this week in the probate
judges Office at the court house, when
Frank Vilk of Lafayette took to wife
Mile. Marie Marthe Charlotte Ma
thieu, late of France, w. P. Aims
worth performed the ceremony,
which was witnessed by a small
crowd of curious as well as by court
house attaches.
Mile. Matthew will be remembered
by readers of the Sentinel as having
figured in newspaper accounts in No
vember when she obtained the arrest
at Providence, r. l., of Valentine
Vilk, on a charge of larceny. Mile.
Matthew came to this country from
France shortly after Valentine had
landed, for the ostensible purpose Of
marrying him. She accompanied him
to Buffalo, where Vilk abandoned
her, taking several of her trunks and
other property with him. The woman
appealed to the Red Cross and Amer
lean Legion who interested the police
with the result that Vilk was appre-
hended at Providence, R. l. Upon his
return to Buffalo, Vilk restored the
woman's property and charge of
larceny was placed against him. At
his hearing he plead guilty and was
placed on probation for year. That
the sentence was not more serious
was due to the fact that Vilk had
served honorably in the late war and
carried discharge papers which gave
him an excellent character.
Frank Vilk, a brother of Valentine,
went to Buffalo during the court pro-
ceedings and offered the woman
home with his mother at Lafayette.
The offer was accepted and Mile. Ma
thieu packed her bag and baggage
and returned here.
Tuesday Frank and Mile. Matthew
came to Medina, and after obtaining
a license were married in the court
room. Vilk gave his age as 25, while
the woman admitted being 80. She
had been married once before, OBJ
tanning a divorce some years ago.
The couple returned to Lafayette
where they will reside on the Vilk
farm.

SITE COMMITTEE MEET
POSTPONED TO MONDAY

There was no meeting of the site
and building committee of the Com
munity House proposition Monday
night, as had been anticipated. This
was due to the fact that reports on
certain sites could not be made so
early in the week, and as the first
important business before the COM
mittee is choice Of a site the meeting
was postponed until next Monday
evening. A NJ
The committee is doing active
work, and leaving no stones unturned
in it's efforts to secure several of the
best sites in the city for final choice.
In the meantime all possible discus
sion of the project as a whole should
be indulged by the public at large to
give this proposed improvement the
most possible advertising.
The possibilities that come to Me-
dina in this proposition are those that
come to community but once in a
lifetime. Such an institution will
prove beyond doubt the greatest
thing that can come to Medina; will
lay a foundation for building of many
other institutions and improvements,
and will quicken into new life many
of those now partially dormant. If
Cleanliness is next to Godliness"-
and we scarce deny the proverb-then
godliness should be aided and abetted
in this new means to cleanliness and
joyfulness. Ask your boy or girl, if
you have one, and if not being so for
tunate, interview your neighbor's as
to what they think of the prospects of
a fine new gym and bath pool, etc.
You don't need to take anyone else's
word; these young people will talk
for themselves if you tell them of the
great benefits contemplated in this
new Community House.

HORSE TAKES A RUN
FROM LEROY PERKINS

Leroy Perkins, a lad of some twelve
years, was having a fine time with a
small horse hitched to his sled Fri
day. He drove up and down, in and
around, and it was great fun for him
and pleased his young friends. But
Leroy drove up to the northwest
corner of the Square just as South
western car came breezing along.
His horse took one look, reversed his
English" threw Leroy off the sled
and started to run south.
Leroy was game and hung to the
lines in vain effort to stop his nag.
He got to his feet almost the instant
he fell from the sled, but quicker
than it takes to tell it his speed after
the fleeing horse was accelerated to
about 20 miles an hour when he let
go. The horse gave Leroy and his
friends quite a chase before sub
mitting to capture. The lad was not
hurt.

STATE HAS new
HEALTH SYSTEM
FOR new YEAR
General and City District Or
ganizatiOn Becomes Effective
on New Years Day; Old Mem
bers Automatically Dropped.
16S BOARDS REPLACE
MORE THAN 2,1OO

New Years day in Ohio will mark
the beginning of an entirely new sys-
tenn of local health administration,
replacing that which has prevailed in
the state for more than rs years.
Instead of more than 2,100 city, viii
lage and township health units, the
state will have 168 city and general
health districts. Each Of the SO
cities of Ohio will be city health
district, and the territory in each
county outside cities will be a gen.
eral health district.
City health organization will un-
dergo little change. In the villages
and townships the present organiza-
ton will cease to exist and a general
district board of health, elected by
vote of the village mayors and the
township chairmen, will take its
place in each county. The general
district health board will employ a
physician as district health commits
sioner and will make such appoint
ments of nurses, deputies, clerks and
other workers as it may desire.
The new health administrative sys-
tenn was created by the Griswold
amendments to the Hughes Act. The
original Hughes Act was passed by
the legislature last spring, as re-
suit of the need for improved health
organization which had been demon
strated by the influenza epidemic. Inn
portant amendments were added in
an emergency measure passed just
before the. holiday recess.
General district health boards
chosen under the original Hughes
Act will continue to serve under the
amended law, except that those mem
bers who reside in cities will be au-
tomatically dropped. In the 81 com-
ties which contain no cities the MEM
bership of the district board of health
will continue unchanged. The same
is true of the seven counties whose
only cities were independent munich
pal districts under the original law.
Prompt reorganization of district
health boards under the revised
health law is necessary to prevent a
complete cessation of health protec-
tive activities in the villages and ru-
raj districts after December 31st,
when present officials lose their au-
thority.

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
WARNS MANY HEARTS

The children and young people who
had been invited to take part in the
Community Christmas work respond
ed nobly last week and aided in bring
ing good cheer to the hearts of many
shut-ins. All met in the Square pre-
paratory to going forth with gifts and
good cheer. The little folks were
given gifts from the big tree in the
Square.
After a few musical selections as
the workers were assembled about
the tree, the groups scattered over
the city. The groups were trans
ported in autos, donated for the occa-
ton, and these groups visited the
homes of many shut-ins-shut in by
advanced age, frailties of age and by
the infrmities brought on by disease
or kindred affliction.
The groups went to these homes
bearing simple gifts of fruit and con-
fections, in some cases gifts Of food,
and after simple presentation
speeches the groups sang carols and
songs to give cheer in that these
shut-ins were made to understand
that the warm hearted people of Me-
dina remembered them.
Those having the affair in charge
feel that the good done, and the graf
itude expressed, more than repay
them and the kind donors for the eff
fort put forth. The Community Xmas
is voted a big success though no
elaborate demonstration was at
tempted.

INSANE man DEFIES
SHERIFF and POSSE
Fred Carrier of Homer Town
ship Finally Arrested After
officers Break in Doors Of
Residence.
is ADJUDGED INSANE
IN PROBATE COURT

Sheriff Bigelow received word about
8 o'clock Xmas eve that Fred Carey,
who lives in Homer township, north
of Fenstermaker's Corners. was on a
rampage. Carey, it seems, had been
on the streets of Lodi and neighbor-
ing villages, earlier in the day,
threatening to shoot up any one who
resisted him. Deputies were at once
dispatched to the scene, and located
Carrier in his home, with all the, win
dows and doors barred. An entrance
was attempted but they were met
with all kinds of vile language and
threats upon their lives. Officers, re-
membering the old adage that dis
cretion is the better part of valor, de-
cided to return home and pay friend
Carrier a visit by daylight.
Next morning the Sheriff, Deputy
Hange, Al. Young, Stowe White, and
five Lodi citizens arrived at the
Carrier home about ten o'clock. Here
the same condition of affairs pre-
vailed as the night before. All win
dow shades were pulled down, all
doors locked, and Carrier, when aware
of his visitors, again began to bias
pheme and threaten to kill any one
who attempted an entrance.
After consultation it was decided
that Sheriff Bigelow and Young
should make an attempt to force the
kitchen door, while the other men,
bers Of the party followed them close
ly to afford protection, should Carrier
make good his threat to shoot. Put
ting their shoulders to the door the
two men quickly pushed it in. Enter
ing the kitchen the party found it de-
serted; also that the door between
this room and sitting room, was
locked and barricaded. All the time
Carrier kept UP his torrent of abuse
and threats. Similar armstrong meth
DDS were tried on this door, with the
result that when it gave way Carrier
was found standing in the center of
the room, a smile on his face, and I'M
armed. It was but matter of few
minutes before he was on his way to
Medina where he was lodged in the
county Jail to await an investigation
as to his sanity in probate court Mon
day morning.
Monday Carrier was adjudged in
sane and ordered sent to the state
hospital at Massillion by Probate
Judge VanDeusen. Doctors declared
that his sanity could be restored, tenn
porarily, by an operation which will
be performed there.
Carrier is married and has two
daughters. A number of years ago
he was an inmate of an insane insti-
tuition, but was later discharged as
cured.
