Rebroudcost Permit

A radio problem with international
ramiflcations has confronted the
Federal Communications Commits
sion in the petition of Mayor La
Guardia of New York City for per-
mission to have the municipal broad
casting station rebroadcast programs
"beamed" at foreign countries by
short-wave stations in the United
States.
Frequencies now used by the IA
experimental short-wave transmit
ters in this country employing direc-

by international agreement exclu-
sively for broadcasting to foreign
countries. Standard-band stations
may obtain the short wave programs
by wire, but, under existing regula-
tions, may not pick them out Of the

A previous application by the New

Payless Vacation For
WPA

Members of the Lima union of
WPA workers, affiliated with the
A. F. of L., will discuss the i'm
pending 30-day "payless vacation"
during their meeting Thursday in
the j. o. A. M. hall.
Approximately 800 families in
Lima are faced with the prospect of
having no income during September
or longer, under a recently an
nounced ruling, according to Grover
Goodwin, business representative of
the union
"This condition calls for deep con-
Germ on the part of the city, county
and relief officials as well as busi-
ness men," Goodwin declared.
"The 'payless vacation will mean
that incomes totaling $15,600 will
not be spent here during September.
1t also will mean that the families
affected may be forced to endure
hardships unless the city or other
agencies make some provision to
care for them

Writes Relatives Of
London Situation

A frst-hand view of the situation
in England is given in an air-mail
letter written by Harold Wilson in
London on Aug. 25 and received this
week by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. B. Wilson of Ada.
Mr. Wilson, teacher in Kenton
High school, is under an exchange
contract to teach for one year in
the schools at Mackelsfield, England.
Concerning the people themselves,
Wilson writes:
"This world in which they (Lon-
doners) find themselves is the imme-
diate and the physical. The people
are not focking TO theaters, their
emotions are too tense. Instead they
gather in huge crowds at the pubs,
cafes and restaurants. They meet
in the streets, many highly ineb-
rated and display friendship in
laughter and noisy gaity."

inclosed describes a domestic all
raid shelter manufactured by an ar
tificial stone company.

&C Buses For County
Schools

A fleet of sc modern buses, cap
able of handling the transportation
facilities of many large cities, will
travel approximately 391,6 $50 miles
during the next few months trans
porting Allen county children to and
from school during the 1939-40 term.
This fleet, largest in the history
of the Allen county system, will
travel approximately 2,448 miles per
day during the 160 days of the
school term, transporting approx
mately $3.50 pupils from their homes
to school and back home.
The average cost in Allen county
for the past year of transporting
each pupil during the school year
was S12.68, which was the second
best in the entire state, according to
DR.. Herschel Litherland, county
superintendent. And that county
carried more than Allen county's
average of 81 to each bus, the school
official explained.
The buses are all owned by the
various school districts and are
manned by trained and experienced
drivers under rigid rules set down
by the state and by local school Off
cials.

Police Stop Speeding
Car, No Driver

Motor officers stopped speeding
automobile on North Main street in
Findlay early Friday morning but
found nobody in it.
A police cruiser, manned by Police
men Kope and Thomas, overlook the
car just north of the state highway
patrol barracks and gave siren
blast ordering it to halt.
The police car didn't stop as sud-
denly as the other machine and the
officers coasted on down the high
way about 500 feet expecting, of
course, the person at the wheel of
the other car to follow, pull up
along side them and inquire the rea-
son for the interruption.
But the speeding car didn't pull
up and so the officers went back.
They couldn't find a trace of anyone
in the car or near it. They learned
the car had been stolen earlier in
the day.

Use OF Tear Gas
Recommended

State Welfare Director Charles L.
Sherwood last week recommended
purchase of tear gas for protection
against riots at the Lima State hos
pital for the criminaly insane and at
the same time revealed an attempted
outbreak on Aug. II by nine Lima
inmates.
Sherwood said nine inmates made
savage attempt to overpower a
guard and to escape from the insti-
tuition by forcibly beating their way
out with homemade crude weapons.
The escape was repulsed by other
guards. One inmate suffered two
fractured ribs during the scuffle,
Sherwood said.
AS result of the unsuccessful
attempt, Sherwood recommended the
purchase of tear gas to check such
outbreaks in the future.

Commissioners Must
Buy Sheriff's Uniform

Whether or not Sheriff Arnold
Potts and his deputy, Ralph Geckel,
should wear uniforms has been a
question in Putnam county legal cir
cles for several weeks but to date
both officers are still wearing civil
ian clothes despite a new law re-
quiring that officers making traffic
arrests cannot testify if they were
not wearing a uniform when making
the arrest.
Both officers have objected to buy
ing uniforms on the grounds that
their cost would take close to a
months pay but that obstacle was
overcome when Attorney General
Herbert os Ohio issued ruling that
county commissioners have the au-
thority to buy the necessary uni
forms for sheriffs and deputies.

Few Laid Off From
WPA Want Relief

Only few of the 221 WPA en-
ployes released Monday from the
Hancock county rolls because of a
current 18-month lay-off rule APP
piled for relief, Mrs. Jane Fronefeld,
county relief director, announced.
Mrs. Froneield said this probably
was due to the fact that workers
who were laid off still have the last
half of the current pay coming.
They are paid the first and middle
of the month, their second half's
pay coming due about Sept. /.

NEWS NOTES FROM FOUR COUNTIES

Ellsworth d. Powell, of Liberty
township, whose terms on the board
will expire at the end of 1889, have
petitions in circulation as candidates
for reelection.
Significance is regarded as attach

on one petition, as slate, recalling
the keen contest two years ago when
two new members, ]. T. Critics and
Mark Bishop, were elected in a
sharp contest founded in the long

Unique Race Planned
For Fair

A new feature of the Hancock
county horse show Sept at the
county fair will be a potato race as
observed in the western states by
Marcus C. Downing, chairman of the
horse show committee. Any rider
in the county will be eligible to en-
ter.
The riders will be required to
carry half a dozen potatoes each
from one end of 150-foot course
to the other end on pointed stick.
Spearing the potatoes from atop a
horse and carrying them on a point
ed stick should be easy for most
riders and so to make it a little
tougher, the rules say the horse
men may attempt to knock the
"spuds" off each others sticks.
