ALREADY STARTING

Although Halloween is still 2
NJ weeks away, pre-HallOWe'en
activities have already been start
ed in Marysville, according to re-
ports received by Mayor Asman
and Marshal Clarence Brown.
Several instances of property
damage have already been called
to the attention of the authorities.
Boys who think it is funny to
destroy property under the guise
of Halloween pranks' can take
warning right now that it will not
be tolerated" Mayor ASman said.
At its meeting last Thursday,
Council authorized the addition of
an extra man on police duty at
night, who will do nothing else but
watch for pre-Hallowe'cn vandal-
ism.
Anyone he may catch will be
taken to Jail, the Mayor said, and
it will be up to their parents to get
them out.
Let's wait until the proper
time, nave fun then, but confine il
to nor -destructed activities" nc

58 FROM COUNTY
ENTER STOCK SHOW
Columbus Event Wednesday
To Be History's Largest

Entries for the ninth annual
Columbus Junior Livestock show
and sale. which will be held in
Columbus, on Wednesday, far eX-
ceedS any previous year in the his
tory of this event. To date, entries
from 234 fourth club and Future
Farmer members from Is central
Ohio counties, total $50 head. I'm
ion county is in second place with
So head, according to statement
made today by County Agent d.
B. Robinson. Delaware county
heads the list with ga steers, Lick
ing has SO, Marion, 81; and Frank
lin, %. All of these counties show
marked increases as compared to
one year ago. Fairfield county has
10, Madison, Ia; Morrow, 13;
Hooking, L; Wyandot, Z; and sew
en- other counties have total en-
tries of Is steers, MIR. Robinson
said
Many of the boys and glrIS ent-
ering this event have shown their
steers in county and local fair COM
petition, but none of them has been
in shows having the size and scope
of this one. AS an example, there
will be 146 Hereford steers in this
show, with 134 Angus and SO Short
horns, which places this show in
favorable comparison with the
large mid-WeStern events. 1t is CX-
pected that many purchasers Of
steers in last years sale will be
lively bidders for some of this good
beef to offer their customers. Last
year a HcrfOrd steer weighing
1120 pounds was purchased by
Hotel Fort Hayes in Columbus
for Tic per pound. The large en-
try list and the spirit of compcti-
tion among these boys and girls,
plus their wcll-directcd efforts TO
better their feeding programs,
makes for this most unusual type
of show and sale.
This years event is scheduled to
be a one-day affair, starting at
/ 10 am. when L. P. McCann, beef
cattle specialist in the Department
of Animal Husbandry al OHIO
State university, will face thc diff
ficult task of placing the steers
in their eight breed classes and a.
ward the shoWmanShip prize. The
sale will start promptly at Z pm
and will begin with the champ
ions and follow through until the
entire offering is sold.

Sgt. Behrens' ship, the u. S. S.

less to say, all on board expected
to turn around and head for home,
but were ordered instead to con-

Excerpts from his letters to his

of the interest shown in recent
articles by Sgt. Behrens. when he
