WILL ASK COUNCIL TO
BAN AUTO CUT OUTS

The Kiwanis club at its meeting
last Friday passed resolution to ask
me Village Council to pass an ordi-
nance ,forbidding autoists to operate
cnt-outs within the municipal limits.
3 It was pointed out that the custom
has become sov prevalent as to consti-
stute a positive nuisance, and the ac-
lion of the club in its movement to
have this nuisance abated was unani-
nous. Mayor Hartzog expressed
himself heartily in favor with the pro-
posed legal restriction and assured
the members Of the club that his per
sonal ase well as official influence
would be exerted for it's adoption.
It is a common practice for MANY
truck drivers and some Of those who
for the first time have become owners
Of automobiles, to give notice of their
presence by operating the cut-outs,
evidently of the belief that the mo-
me1fons fact might not otherwise be-
come known. The terrific noise thus
made is deafening and sufficient to
dethrone the reason of the average
individual, and in many cases of sick
people 1t is known to have been par
ticularly distressing, if not actually
prolonging their illness.
Council will be asked to pass the
ordinance at it's next regular meeting.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY
FINED FOR MIsDEMEAN0R


Herbert Wagner, 16, of Wadsworth,
arrested about three weeks ago on a
charge of forgery, was arranged be-
fore Probate Judge VanDeusen on
Wednesday, to whom he entered the
plea of guilty to a misdeneanor, and
was assessed a fine Of $40 and costs
together with a sentence Of 80 days in
Jail the latter part of the sentence be-
ing suspended upon the promise Of
the youth to remain with his father,
L. H. Wagner, at home, and behave.
Young Wagner admitted to the court
having cashed the check alleged to
have been forged, but denied being the
one who forged it, claiming that he
would not have even cashed 1t had he
not been intoxicated at the time. Al
Following Wagner's arrest, Mayor
Boyer Of Wadsworth bound the boy
over TO the grand jury. This, say To-
cal officials, was an unwarranted ac-
ton on the part Of Mayor Boyer, the
boy being a minor, whereas the latter
should have remanded the youth to
the probate court. Thus the felorious
charge under which young Wagner has
been imprisoned amounted to nothing
from a legal standpoint, and explains
the final disposition Of the case.

MANY VARIETIES GOOD

apples adapted to various purposes
the tn department of horticulture at , the
Uhlo Experiment Station states that

The Delicious apple, which is much
advertised and relished because of it's
wealth OF aroma and lack of acid, is a
favorite desert apple but too sweet
for any culinary purposes except
baking.
White Pippin and Rhode Island
Greenlng are not as good as the other
varieties for cooking purposes.
Ben Davis, Gano and Black Ben

fair for either eating raw or cooking.

$500 MEMBERS OF RED
CROSS. COUNTY QUOTA

| Medina county chapter of Red Gross
will seek membership of $500 in the
Fourth Red Cross Roll Call, November
II to Is. This quota has been fixec
by H. B. Dickson, Roll Call manager
for Lake Division.
Chapter quotas have been set with
the view of enrolling 100000 men,
bers inyLake Division-Ohio, Ken
lucky and Indiana.
Plans for achieving this goal were
completed at conferences Of chapter
Roll Call directors Of the three states
at Indianapolis, Louisville and Colum-
bus.
"Let every good American citizen
become member Of the Red Cross" is
the message of Herbert Hoover, whose
relief work abroad during the war
brought him into close association with
the American Red Cross.
The stupendous foreign and domes-
tic task before the Red Cross in it's
peace program is one that deserves
the support of the American people,
he points out in urging a large enroll
>ment.
Churches in Medina and throughout
Lake Division have begun plans for
the observance of Red Cross Sunday,
November IA. From the pulpits of
the three states the cause Of the Red
Cross will be impressed upon many
audiences and its vast peace program
explained.
"The Red Cross Of Peace" the pa
geant especially written for Lake Di-
vision, also will be presented at church
es on Red Cross Sunday.

RUNAWAY BOYS SENT
HOME TO PA AND MA

The suspicious actions Of three
youths in the vicinity Of the Bell
Creamery Go. last Saturday led to an
investigation by Sheriff Bigelow, to

some time ago. They told the sher-
iff they had been following the carni-
val company which is in Medina this
week. They were shaEbily dressed
