RULING ON PUBLIC FUNDS
SENT TO ATTY RIECKER

SENT TO ATTY RIECKET
! An opinion ruling on important
questions relating to the deposit oi
public funds in banks, the paymen,
| of interest thereon, acceptance ol
security for such deposits and the
! procedure to be used by county
board of education in depositing
it's funds, was handed down today
| by Attorney General John w
! Bricker.
In the opinion, directed to Atty
Carlos Riecker, prosecuting attorney
of this county, Bricker ruled:
County boards of education are
unauthorized by law to deposit mon
| ey in banks. Funds constituting
| the County Board of Education
! Fund" are to be held in the county
treasury and deposited by the coun
ty commissi ioners in county deposit
tories as provided by statute.
The guarantee or insurance of
bank deposits afforded by virtue
of the federal banking act of 1893,
is not such security as may be fur
nished by bank under the laws of
Ohio, as security for deposits of the
public funds of the state, counties,
municipalities, school districts and
townships within the state.
Lawful contracts for the deposit
of public funds of the state, and the
political subdivisions named above,
may not be made with a bank which
fails to provide adequate security
therefor. Any bank receiving de-
pOsits with knowledge of the nature
thereof, which does not furnish Sc
curity as provided by statute, will
be held to account in full for the
deposits SO received. together with
all profits accruing therefrom.
This state board of deposits.
boards of county commissioners, ed
ucation, township trustees, and au-
thorities of municipal corporations
are not permitted, under the several
depository laws of this state, to en-
ter into contracts, with banks or
trust companies for the deposit of
the public funds under their con-
troll, without interest.
Where public authorities are un-
able to make awards of deposits of
the public funds under their con-
troll, by reason of their failure to
receive bids therefor from bank
or banks or trust company willing
and able to pay interest on said
funds as provided by law and to Sc
cure the deposits in the manner
prescribed by the statutes of the
state of Ohio, they are without
power to enter into depository con-
tracts for the deposit of their funds.
If unable to procure depository
for the funds Of it's school district,
as provided by law, board of edu-
cation should place such funds in
the custody of the treasurer of the
city or county in which the school
district is located.
Boards of education are empow-
cred by statute to procure liability
and property damage insurance on
the school wagons or motor vans
used for transportation of the
school pupils of it's district and all
pupils transported by means Of such
Such authority exists
whether the school district has title
to those vehicles or the title to the
vehicles is vested in some third per-
son, and the vehicles are tempor-
arily transferred to the board of
education for it's use in the trans
portation of pupils.

HOyAS FORTIFIED
IN NTWOPOS|T|ONS.
Seem Certain to Again Be
Formidable at Center
and at Tackles.

~ EORGETOwN'S foot ball
4 team, like last season, again
Y this year will be particularly
strong at center and the
tackle positions, judging from the
bang-up material at hand.
The Hoyas last Fall had as candi-
dates for center Capt. Fred Callahan.
Bill Carpenter, Bill Pearson and Frank
Williamson, all high-grade performers.
After the opening game with Mount
st. Mary's, Coach Hagerty shifted
Williamson to a tackle post and Pear
son was put at an end. Callahan and
Carpenter shared the center position
throughout the season.
Both OF these now are gone and It
is probable that Williamson will be
shifted from tackle back to his old post
at center and Pearson will be trans
ferred from end to understudy VIII
hanson. Mike Fuardo is another can
didate for center. Weighing 1876, he
was a bulwark on last years unde-
feated freshman team.
Candidates for tackle positions, with
their weights, include Karl Saur, 1870;
Leo Curley, 200; William Downer, 21O;
Charles Gildea, 100; Joe Lynch. 1e5; !;
Al Vacarro, 1870; Wally Burke, IT'S, and
Cy Cummings, 1876.
Saur, Curley, Downer, Gildea and
Lynch were members of last seasons S
varsity squad, while Vacarro, Burke
and Cummings played with the frosh.
Sauer and Downer both showed we'll
last year and are figured to have the
best chances for regular berths.

DHE nine Scotties in the accom-

sisters and brothers. Their

" HE nine ScottleS in the accom-
panying picture all are litter
sisters and brothers. Their
dam is Philabeg Margaret and
their sire Scotsward Monarch Of Ruff
cote DR.. Pope, their owner, attributes
a large share of his success in saving
them all and their good condition to
his wife's unremitting attention and
prompt use Of Lactol and a medicine
dropper.
Puppies that are too weak to nurse
at birth, or whose mothers do not Sc
crete sufficient milk at whelping to
start them of may often be saved by
extra feelings the first two or three
days. Lactol, an English preparation,
seems to be an ideal substitute for or
supplement of mothers milk. Another
point to be remembered in the care of
delicate new puppies is that a chilled
puppy is dead puppy. 1t is well to
provide an electric heating pad, thor
oughly covered with oilcloth or rub
berized fabric, and turned to medium
or low, for the first day or two, espe-
cially If the weather is damp or chilly.
VxIHAT is a champion dog and
" what is his value in a dogs
pedigree? These questions
often are asked Of the breeder Of show
dogs. The American Kennel Club de-
fines a champion as a dog that has
won Is points in open competition at
A. K. G. shows. At least six of those
points have to be won at two three
point shows. Also the requisite IS
points need to have been won under
at least three different judges. TIE
dog that wins blue ribbon at show
does not necessarily acquire any cham
pionship points. Blue ribbons are
awarded in all the regular classes. 1t
is the best Of the blue ribbon winners
in each sex that gets the champion
ship points. The number Of points at
any show is based on the number of
entries of that breed and the section
of the country. The more popular the
breed, the more entries it takes to
make one championship point.
The value of having a champion in
dogs pedigree depends upon many
factors. It does guarantee that that
particular ancestor was an outstand-
ing representative Of the breed. But
whether he has transmitted his quail
ties to the puppy in question depends
on his own breeding-was he one Of a
line of outstanding dogs, or just an
accidental good one-on his own pre-
potency or power to stamp his own
image on his progeny, and on the
other dogs in the pedigree.
One champion, three generations
removed, no matter how good, can
not be expected to counteract the
influence of IL or IA other ancestors
of mediocre or poor quality. A cham
pion ancestors value is In inverse
ratio to his distance from the litter
In question, and may be aided or en-
tireiy nuIlified by the other dogs in
the pedigree. However, that goes into
the subject Of inbreeding, line breed

In THE WORLD OF DOGS

ing, and just raising puppies to SELL
a very complicated and vexatious
problem.
Two Of the community's leading
breeders missed the Cumberland (Md.)
show, although both had several dogs
entered Mrs. Edith Groves OF the
Jonedith Kennels was detained by an
unfortunate and unusual accident in
her kennels. Two young Doberman
puppies set upon one of her finest
dachsunds, heavy in whelp, and
whether in spirit of play or In ma
licious mischief, tormented the clumsy
and defenseless matron until they
drew blood She bled to death before
the veterinarian could reach her. Miss
Helen Samuels (Pekinese) was kept
home by the serious illness OF her
mother.
1t is unfortunate that the promoters
of Summer dog shows do not give
more thought to the possibilities and
advantages Of the open-air show.
The Cumberland Fair Grounds would
have provided several ideal spots for
an outdoor show. The surrounding
hills and natural beauty of the spot
would have enhanced the value of
every exhibit. Instead. the dogs were
crowded into the inadequate poultry
building. The benches were so close
to the judging rings as to leave in
sufficient room for the rail birds.
And in case of fire the aisles were so
narrow as to constitute real menace.
A departure for local dog enthusi-
asts was that of sending their dogs
to the show in the care of professional
handlers. We now have two located
near here-Mr. j. B. Kimes, we'll
known owner of Wirehaven Kennels,
and Mr.. I. S. Segar, formerly of Bos-
ton and New York. Mr.. Segar plans
Evening star., 1934-08-28

to locate IN washington permanently
and intends to open a dog beauty
parlor as well as handling dogs at
shows.
TINE vital statistics keep piling up.
l. Beech Tree Farm probably
heads the list this week. Fred
ericka Playmate, matriarch of the
kennel, whelped four blue merle collie
pups sired by Lord Thomas Grey.
Barlae Bunty, the cream -colored cairn,
presented to an eagerly waiting
household one cream -colored Son-no
more-while Plaidie, her Scottie side
kick. whelped five jet black ones.
Just to show her heart is in the right
place, Bunty promptly adopted one of
Plaidie's sons, and now is nursing
two babies, while Plaidie takes care
of four.
Meg Of Beech Tree has just re-
turned from a visit to Champion Die

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-20

In a spirited defense of Presi- dent Roosevelt and the New Deal, Mayor Frank Hayes of this city, candidate for Acknowledgements on the democratic ticket, yesterday afternoon addressed a large gath ering of women in Bridgeport in which he denied that the admin istration's policy has hampered, stfled and strangled the nations business. During 1884, he said, 28 out of fifty-fiye firms chosen from among the nations leading busi- as compared with a loss in 1883 and, 27 out of fifty-five showed a profit both in 1883 and 1894 but a larger one for this year. The meeting was sponsored by the Fair field County Federation of Demo- cratic Women.
 Nominees Speak
 Other speakers at the rally were Governor Wilbur L. Cross, Con- gressman Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, candidate for U. s. sen- ator, Compensation Commissioner Edward T. Buckingham, nominee tor congress in the fourth district, Mayor Charles Christian Swartz, candidate for controller, and Attor- ney William Nj. Citron of Middle town, candidate for congressman at-large. Governor Cross outlined partially his program of public improvements and Congressman Maloney termed his g. o. p. op- ponent, U. s. Senator F. c. Wall colt, "the greatest reactionary in the nited States senate. Mayor Hayes said:
 "One of the most frequent and entirely baseless charges against President Roosevelt's program of recovery for the nation as whole is that it has hampered. stified and strangled the business of the
