as the leading yearly event of the county. The de-
cison to hold fairs this year is strictly up to local
boards, and the failure not to hold far must
not be blamed on the state national administra-
ton Former Governor Myers Y. Cooper VINO mas
been prominently connected with county fairs for
many wears did ell he could to have fairs held this
season as usual. Secretary of Agriculture Wlckard
too advocates that they be held Because, ne says
Fairs and expostions serve a useful purpose.
While he has not expressed himself directly con-
cerning fairs yet President urges that baseball
games and games of sports races, etc. be car
ried on this year the usual, believing that
such have an important part in building up morale-a
thing that is needed.
However we are not criticising the Morgan county
fair board in it's decision to hold fair this year
It sounds like good business to take the $l5OO state
aid received annually the fair and apply 1t on the
debt which is approximately $4,000 With TINS oeot
wiped out-or practically the board will likely be
enabled to hold better fairs in the future than
the past The board too reasoned that with rubber
tire restrictions, many in the service ana
hundreds employed away in defense work, that II
would be impossible to hold as good fair this year
as in the past and rather than sacrifice the quality
better hold no fair at ALL
Let us hope that within another year the war Will
be over and our 1943 fair will be the best on record
However should it not be over fair held next
wear there is the danger that something else in the
meantime will develope that might be keen com
petor of the county fair, and it might be difficult 10
again revise the interest in the fair at present
That same sort thing happened with our Chau

was the leading event of southeastern Ohio, and il
had state and national reputation, as the idea

Let us hope that nothing of the sort will happen t

"TOWN HALL" MEETING
CONTINUED from page one)

Mr.. Haskins said there are GER
tain things that we are entitled to
from our government. He believes
that we should be told the truth
concerning our losses, as we'll as
favorable news, saying that we can
take it. We too should expect sin
cerity, and there should not be
those who feather their nests, CIV
ing as an example big beer trucks
with their huge tires hauling beer,
when he said rubber is so badly
needed for things of vital import
ance. Another thing we are en-
titled to is efficiency. He called
attention to the fact that congress
passes legislation and controls the
purse strings. He remarked that
our congressman and senators like
to hear from the people back home.
In conclusion the speaker repeat
ed the closing lines of the Declara-
tiOn of ndependence-''we mutual
ly pledge to each other our lives,
our fortunes, and our sacred hon
or" and called attention to how
little the people had then, compar-
ed with what we have today, and
asked are we willing to do as much
today?

Richard Mcclure. commander Of
the Civilian Defense Corps made a
brief address in which he said that
166 years ago this nation started to
defend itself and we are still at it..
He spoke of how our doctors and
nurses are inadequate to take care
of normal condition, let alone in
cases of emergencies, hence the
reason for the courses in civilian
defense.
w. o. Porter, administrator of
the Civilian Defense Corps, took
the occasion to thank the teachers
who had so willingly offered their
services in the defense school. He
said that very few refused to assist.
He reported that 204 persons at

Easv For Soldiers To Vote

Secretary of State John E. Sweeney is to be COM
plimented making it possible for the soldiers 10
vote in the coming election without the usual red
fame In fact there has been much of that sort OF
thing that MANY soldiers did not have the time, or
the patience to go through with all of it.
The plan worked out by Secretary or state
Sweeney very easy, simple and far less expensive
than the former cumbersome method. If any type or
people should have easy way to vote it should De
the soldiers in the armed forces-the men who are
fighting to preserve free government Where ali
are given an equal right with their in the voice
as to who shall govern this country.

ISAAC FRANCISCO SHOOK

isaac fTduClSCO OHOOk, oOA VI
Isaac and Rebecca Shook, was
born Nov. 26, 1859, and died July
1, 1912, aged 80 years, seven
months and five days. He was born
at Meigs, and his entire life was
spent in Morgan county. He had
lived in his present home ever since
his marriage to Sarah Eliza Van
Law, Nov. 10, 1883. To this union
were born six children; one SON
Charles Heston died at the age OF
three years. He leaves to mourn
his passing five devoted children
three daughters, Mrs. Lucy Bow
man, Chesterhill; Mrs Dora Adrian,
Pennsville; Edith, of the home;
two sons, Jesse, of Chesterhill, and
William of Prairie Creek, Ind; II
grandchildren, and eight great
grandchildren. The last of the
great grandchildren was a daugh-
ter born to Mr. and Mrs. Dwight
Shook of Terre Haute, Ind, on the
morning of July 1st, and the aged
grandparent passed away at 10
day. ''For life must come and life
must go, the winters pass, the
spring flowers grow"
Surviving besides those mention
, ed are two brothers, William of
Chesterhill, and Sylvanus of Alger,
O.; one sister, Mary A. Dyke, of
Brokaw, and numerous other rela-
tives and friends. His quiet, un-
pretentious devotion to duty and
! good deeds, was the example he
gave to the world of his Christian
faith. His life was an open book,
his character above reproach. His
| home, always extending welcome,
and his generous hospitality, will
ever be a cherished memory in the
hearts of his many friends. 1t can
be truly said that his stay on earth
was blessing to mankind-an up
lift to humanity.
He was of a kind and extremely
cheerful disposition. Although in
failing health, he continued to rad
late cheerfulness to those with
suffering with the same patience
and cheerfulness that characterized
his entire life. He expressed him
self as being ready to go and be
with those who had gone on be-
fore. He sank quietly and peace
fully to rest at 1910 p. M, July
1st. He has accomplished his task
and lived a life that has been a
certain inspiration; he is leaving a
memory that will be an enduring
benediction. He leaves a place that
can never be filled, yet, he leaves
memories that will remain with
/ us through life, and with those
memories comes the thought that
this life has not been lived in vain.
