after application for such is
made.
Of one major obligation the
court has been relieved within
the past 10 years. 1t is that of
hearing and deciding divorce ac-
tions. In 1880 this branch was
transferred by law to the court
of Common Pleas and has re-
manned there ever since.
Further in the category of
probative work, and which ac-
cording to law must be done in
the home by the court itself, is
the investigation of cases con-
cenring persons characterized as
mentally ill, feeble minded, and
afflicted with epilepsy. This, ac-
cording to Judge Ashcraft, is the
most unpleasant job associated
with his office. 1t means the
severing of family ties and in
uany cases the complete disso-
luton of the home. During the
past three years it has been
necessary to commit 126 persons
to the hospital for the mentally
ill, and lat persons to institu-
tions for feeble minded and ep-
ileptic.
Dealings with minors are also
numerous. Upon him falls the
responsibility for appointing
guardians for them and also for
incompetent persons. From his
bench in Juvenile Court his
gavel drops upon the fate of
those boys and girls whose in
corrigibility makes it necessary
to remand them to state insti-
tutions of correction. Fortunate
ly for Licking County there
were only three in 1889, none in
1888 and eight in 1887, thereby
attaining one of the best aver
ages for counties in the state.
Volumnous records of all mat
ters must be kept in order for
instantaneous reference. These
records are typed by Misses
Helen Earhart and Josephine
Rountree, stenographers. The
chief deputy of Judge Ashcraft
is Cyrus Mckinney who takes
application for the administering
and probating of all wills, files
all papers and maintains docket
entries on all papers filed
Courts cashier is James G. Lar

Safety Council

than in 1923 due, he felt, to peo-
pie becoming safety conscious
and employer and employe alike
working hand in hand to reduce
and prevent the toll of acci-
dents. The past 10 years have
shown a decrease of 10 per cent
in accidents, he said.
Principal speaker for the meet
ing was Harry L. Sain, assist
ant superintendent of the depart
ment of hygiene. Safety" he
said, "is universal. When there
are accidents they come to any
one regardless of race, creed or
color" What is needed, he
pointed, is new philosophy and
spirit of safety in organization.
And here he commended New
ark for the splendid spirit it was
building.
Ability" he stated, "means
nothing if it is intellectual fod-
der. The way to get results is
to get your points over to the
other fellow" Opportunities, he
remarked, are always there.
He discounted the popular
idea that accidents happen. "Ac-
cidents are caused" he said. He
urged a united effort toward pre-
vention of all accidents in the
future.
Elected to office in the council
for the first six months of the
year were: John Hoffman, Phar-
is Tire and Rubber Co., presi-
dent; Robert Evans, May-Fiebeg-
er Co., vice president; D. E.
Van Ness, Schuler Engineering
Co., secretary. New president
Hoffman spoke regarding the
building of the safety organiza-
tion and asked cooperation of all
in continuing the work.

JUVENILE BRANCH
Licking County's allotment SET
by the state for incarceration of
it's youth in correctional institu-
tions for the period 1930-39 in
elusive was 62. In that time it
committed only 40, or 65 per
cent of it's quota, according to
Orville w. Kreager, Licking
County Probation Officer.
Functions of this branch are
none too scarce when one con-
siders that he alone is the Off
Ger of truancy for all Licking
County. Tightening the job
somewhat, however, according to
Mr.. Kreoger, is the fact that tru-
ant officers are not considered
the bogey man they were years
ago. But, that has not served to
decrease to any extent the num-
ber of truancies within his juris-
diction, because last year 538
such cases went through his
hands for personal attention.
He, according to law, handles
all cases of complaint centering
about children of below legal
age, conducts Investigations of
non-support involving minors
and delinquency cases involving
minors. Moreover, under his
sphere of authority fall cases
concerning neglect of dependent
minors, as well as crippled chill
dren.
Personally he commits all min
ors to houses of correction. In
dependency cases, such as chill
dren bereft of parents and as
signed to the children's home, it
is his duty to act as their es-
cort.
Juvenile officer is Mrs. Kate
kibler. Because of overlapping
duties, her work often involves
the investigation of relief cases
where the non-support of chill.
dren is apparent. Too, she serves
as office assistant to Mr.. Kreag
er and in many cases acts as &
reporting office for cases OF
probation.
THE RECORDER
In the matter of real estat
transfers, the office of Record
er is closely aligned with tha
of the Probate Court. But onl,
in this respect. His is a vas
warehouse of records. He is tn
archivist of those records.
Available for immediate refer
ence are deed records datin,
back as far as 1906. For it j
the duty of the Recorder and hi
staff to file any instrumen
brought to his office for record
ing. After receiving them the,
are proof read and indexec
From there they go to thei
crypt in the archives and fo
years disseminate their informa
tion to abstractors and attor
neys, and often are called int
court to act as a deciding facto
in some form of litigation.
A list of records in the car
of the Recorder follows: mort
cages, real estate, chattel, deed
leases, power of attorney, per
sonal and mechanics liens, con
ditional sales records, mortgag
release records, soldiers dis
charges, church records, partition
fence records, federal tax rec
ords, and miscellaneous. (Em
braced in this classification ar
such records not required by sta
ute) in the Recorders office will

TWO SNOW POEMS
SNOW IN MY GARDEN

When | came down stairs this morning
The snow was over all
The trees and the ground and bushes
AS | looked out from the hall.
The walls, the walks, the fences
All were glistening white
They looked as if an artist
Had painted them last night.
And there, so close to my window,
In the old apple tree
There sat beautiful red bird
Chirping so cheerily.
Away in the deep green forest
Is fairyland, they say,
But it could not be as lovely
AS my gardenis today.

THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW

When the soft snow flakes come floating down.
And cover every tree in town;
"Tis then we admire the beautiful snow,
And we hate to see it melt and CO.
But when the wind begins to sigh,
And the snow don't stop, but flies right by;
We quicken our fires, from this timely warning
For we know twill be colder in the morning.
And then we have to clean our walks,
While our neighbpr stands on his porch and talks
And we have to go down town in the slush,
And wade through snow soft as mush.
And pretty soon the SHOWS all ice,
And when start out it's not so nice;
We slip, and trip, and nearly fall down,
AS we slide so carefully down to town.
'Tis then we DON'T like the beautiful snow.
And were very glad to see it go;
And I've got this thought in my fertile BRAIN
JUST KEEP THE SNOW AND SEND US RAIN
