MEDINA TO HAVE
BRICK-TILE PLANT

After considerably delay owing
to inability to secure railroad siding,
work is now being pushed on the re-
building of the brick and tile plant
between Medina and Chippewa Lake,
formerly operated by the Chippewa
Shale Brick CO.
The new company, incorporated as
the Medina Clay Products Co., will
build three kilns this summer, and
should business warrant it, will fur
ther increase the capacity Of the plant
next spring. One kiln is now being
erected and the othertwo will be built
Immediately after this oneSis complet-
ed. N
It is the intention of the present
management to manufacture a full
line of drain tile, in addition to build
ing block and building and paving
brick.
Mr. Cassidy, the local manager, who
is graduate ceramis engineer, has
spent the greater part of his business
life in the manufacture Of clay pro-
ducts. He states that the company
has one of the finest deposits Of clay
and shale to be found in northern
Ohio and that very high grade pro-
duct can, and will be manufactured.
The company expects to have its
first kiln Of ware burned for the mar
ket about the middle of July.

of his long life was spent, and where
by persistent industry and frugality
he had prospered and been able to
fortify himself and family against
the years when he must lay aside
business cares.

Genesee county N. Y, March 81, 1887,
son of Avrill and Mary Ann Foskett.
His mother died when he was but

was raised on the farm with his grand
fathers family, living with them ex-
cept for one years residence on a
farm in New York, until 1860, when
he began reading law with ]. B.
Young of Medina.
In the fall of 1861 he enlisted in a
company formed in Medina county,
which was, after arriving at Camp
Chase, distributed throughout the 42o
o. v. L. (Garfield's regirnent). He
was assigned to Co. X, of which conn
pany he was elected I'd lieutenant. He
was in the service nearly three years,
was twice promoted, last serving as
captain of Cos. I and D. In 1865
Capt. Foskett was detailed to the Pro-
vost Department at New Orleans,
where he inspected the passes and
passports of passengers on all water
craft except war vessels that came to
that port. He was in the battles Of
Middle Creek, Cumberland Gap, Taze-

PUBLIC IS ASKED TO
SANCTION NEW BUDGET
Commissioner and Board Pre-
sent Needs in Signed Letter
to People for Immedi-
ate Action.

The Board of Health of Medina
county will soon be without sufficient
funds with which to carry on its work
according to a statement issued this
week by the County Board of Health
and Commissioner DR.. H. L. Biggs.
Under an official Interpretation of
the Hughes -Griswold law under which
the County Board operates, no village
or township can expend money for
health work of any character even at
their own expense. And as the funds
of the Board through which the
health work of the county must be
carried on, is nearly exhausted, the
alarming situation is being brought TO
the attention of the general public in
a statement issued by the Board. and
duly signed by its members.
The Board of Health according to
law, met some weeks ago to prepare
budget calling for an expenditure of
%,400 for the county for the year.
This budget was prepared with the ex-
pectation that each village and town.
ship would as heretofore continue to
pay its own bills for quarantine and
fumigation. Now that these items
have been automatically placed Upon
the shoulders Of the County Health
Board, that budget will prove entirely
inadequate for its work.
Under these circumstances would
you not advise the Board to prepare
another budget" asks Commissioner
Biggs of the public in letter given
general circulation throughout the
county this week. IF so," continues
Dr. Biggs, "say so to the Budget Com
mittee, which consists of the County
Auditor, County Treasurer and Prose-
cutting Attorney. They will soon
meet to pass upon the budget for
1922. We have presented our needs.
The decision is yours"

DECORATION DAY
MEMORABLE HERE

Memorial day for 1921 has passed
into history, but the memory of its
celebration in Medina will linger in
the minds Of the people of this village
for very long time.
Nature, no less than the true spirit
Of reverence and the determination Of
our people, lent the best of her provis-
ion, that the dead heroes of the past
together with the surviving remnant
Of the rapidly disappearing host,
should receive the homage they 50
richly deserve, and under conditions
Of auspiciousness and splendor.
From early in the morning where
ever the eye turned it fell upon the
American flag. Homes, business places
and vehicles displayed the grand old
emblem for whose salvation is the
days significance.
The parade which formed, on the
public square at o'clock ranked with
the best ones the people of Medina
have ever witnessed here. Led by
the veteran soldier, S. S. Oatman, with
twenty-five mounted aides, hundreds
of people, young and old, including the
various clubs school children, and
citizens generally, majestically swung
around the public square, and to the
inspiring rythm of the martial and
military bands, followed the time-hon-
ored path to the city of the dead.
Here, as usual, the ceremonies were
traditional and Of signal beauty and
inpressiveness.
Returning to the public square the
great crowd swarmed in the park to
enjoy program Of music and speak
ing. Both the Medina band and
Community orchestra played medleys
Of patriotic and folk-song that reviv.
ed memories Of the long ago, while
from the platform listened attentively
and with keen interest coterie of The
veterans Of the Sectional war.

RENEW YOUTH WITH
FISH AND HORSE TALES

Members of the Medina Matinee
club and friends to the number of
sixty or more attended the annual
meeting and banquet Of the club,
held last week Thursday night at the
Pythian club rooms, where the horse
fans of Medina and vicinity held out
to late hour consuming fish, re-
winning past events, and communing
over the joyous ones to come.
Blake Mcdowell, president Of the
club and perennial veteran of the
track, server as POSTMASTER, and
while many were called, but few
were chosen" Of these were VIM.
Kinnan, secretary of the Forest City
Live Stock association and of the
Randall Race Course, and VIM. Rose
mire, trainer at the J. L. Stadler
stables.
In the opinion of Kinnan, interest
is growing rapidly in the matter of
horse-racing, evidenced by the fact
he stated that more high class horses
are being trained now than in pre-
vious years. As the speaker uttered
this statement smile Of utter con-
tentment and placidity of features
played over the faces of local horse
devotees that would have done credit
to an opium joint, albeit the dreams
they had were four-legged ones.
Mr.. Rosemire gave very interest
ing talk on horse-racing in Russia,
where he was a trainer and driver
in Moskow and other points for five
or six years, and where, said Rose
mire, the interest in the sport is fully
as keen as in America. 81
Brief talks were made by P. G..
Bigelow and F. M. Plank Of Medina.
Officers and directors for the com
ing year are: President, Blake Nc
Dowell; Vice President, R. J. Hyde;

EVERYTHING SET
FOR SALES DAY
Second Event by Medina Mer-
chants to be Held
Next Monday.
BARGAINS GALORE
PROVIDED FOR ALL
Red Cross to Have Big Exhibit
sand All Women Of the
County Are Invited
to Counsel

The merchants of Medina are all
SCI for their second Golden Rule Sales
Day, next Monday, June s, and are
anticipating even larger influx of
buyers on that day from the surround
ing territory than on the first sales
day a month ago. Firm in this be-
lief, they do not propose to be caught
mapping this time in the matter Of pro-
viding ample supplies of the bargains
offered, but have promised to take
good care of those who come to buy
as long as the day lasts. #
By reference to the two-page an
nonncements Of Medina's merchants
in another part Of the Sentinel, It
will be observed that the bargain Of
ferings this month are in every way
the equal Of those offered during the
first sales day, and doubtless will
make strong appeal to all those who
are ever on the alert to get the most
for their money.
Merchants belonging to the Medina
Advertising club, which organization
is back Of the sales day movement IN
Medina, are united in the belief that
honesty is the best policy" even IN
business, and are pledged 10 the. doc
trine Of the Golden Rule. Admission
to membership in the Medina Adver-
tising club commits that merchant
member unedpivocally to the Golden
Rule the chief tenet Of the organiza-
\ ton.
Aside from the mere increasing Of
sales the merchants realize the re-
I ciprocal value and desirability Of a
n more intimate personal acquaintance
with these with whom they have deal
ngs, and will be glad to have all new
( customers and such as are not already
familiar, give their names to the pro-
.prietor or clerk who serves them on
sales day.
On the same day the Red Cross will
have an exhibit of garments which
have been made from old material
odds and ends, ETC., on the old band
stand, at the southwest corner oi
the park. Members Of the local
auxiliary will be in attendance Al

rOr SOme ClMe the community or
ganization of Medina has felt its re-
missness in not taking a greater in
terest or making a more determined
effort in the work of Americanization
among the alien-born residents of the
village. While active along the lines
of recreation, Identification, health
and charity, the educational element
in its field of activity for community
advancement has not progressed, with
its other work. III
: With this respect, however, a definite
plan of action was decided upon at a
special meeting of the Community Of
ganization held at the Sylvester H.
brary last Friday night. 4
At the last meeting of the organiza-
ton held last December, special
committee consisting of Supt. w. r,
Conkle and H. G. Rowe, was appoint
ed to secure authoritative data as u
the names and home addresses of al
alien-born residents of Medina village
who primarily are in need and desir-
Gus of more practical knowledge 0i
the English language, and familiar
acquaintance with the national basic
ideals of America, with the idea o&
evolving some workable plan whereby
the citizenship Of these people nigh
be raised to higher plane. Fl 4!
