FIRST POLE SET EARLY THIS
MONTH; WILL IMPROVE SERVICE

said that the work now in prog
ress is only part of an extensive
improvement program set up for
this area. He went on to say that
the enormous task of compiling
necessary supplies for this twenty
five mile long transmission line,
which will extend croSS-country
from near Urbana to a point along
Route 4 just west of Marysville,
is now complete,
Mr.. Bigler also stated however,
that the work would require some
time to complete, inasmuch as
there are 400 poles to be erected;
rs tons of specially constructed
aluminium wire, with steel core,
to be strung; and thousands of
inSulators to be put in place. The
new transmission line, he explain
ed, will operate at $4,000 to $4,000
volts. Such adaptability guaran-
tees the company's efforts to ad-
equately supply all future COM
munity needs no matter what in
place.
These improvements, heralded
since The Dayton Power and Light
company took oyer the western
division of the Marion Reserve
Power company, are the direct
result of a study made by the
corps of the company engineers
who wished to ascertain the status
of electrical equipment then on
hand. They submitted their find
ings, together with recommend
ations for necessary steps in order
that quality electric service might
be assured customers in this area.
The survey showed that existing
facilities to Marysville were mad
equate for community needs and
that new modern line be con-
Structed.
Accordingly, orders were i'm
mediately issued to proceed with
the new $4,000 volt transmission
line, and the gigantic task of gath
ering the necessary supplies was
begun; aerial photographs of the
area were secured and construct
ion engineers mapped out right
Of way.
Staff engineers worked with
members of Purdue university
analyzing the needs of such a
system, so that the transmission
and distribution enterprize would
provide dependable and adequate
electric service for the newly
acquired territory.

Harry Binkley, manager of the
Northern district for The Dayton
Power and Light company, offic-
tally started construction work on
the new transmission line to
Marysville, by breaking ground
for the first pole. This epic event
took place early this month, and
launched work on the new $4,000
volt transmission line that will be
built from Urbana to Marysville.
This new source of power will
bring to the many private residen-
ces, farms, and industrial firms in
this area, greatly improved
electric service and a throughly
dependable supply.

BULL KILLS
|W.P. MODER
ON HIS FARM
Funeral To Be Friday;
Had Entered Field
To Bring In Horses

William P. Moder, aged SO,
widely-known Paris towship
farmer, was killed by a suddenly
infuriated bull in a field on his
farm about 212 miles west of
Marysville about 6 p. m. Tues
day. His badly-battered body was
discovered by neighbors about 100
yards from his house, after he had
been missing about 20 minutes.
Mr.. Moder had just brought
his cows in from the same field
and had gone back into the field
to bring in his horses, telling his
wife he feared it might become
too cold during the night to leave
them out. The bull, an Ayrshire,
was in the same 16-acre pasture.
After he had been gone much
longer than necessary, Mrs. Mod
er, who went to the barn with her
husband to help milk the cows,
became alarmed and began call
ing for him. After receiving no
replies, she became alarmed and
summoned neighbors to help hunt
for him.
Richard Starr, who resides
nearby and had heard the bulls
roar, evidently at the time the
enraged amin a | attacked Mr..
Moder, was already on his way
to the Moder farm. Other neigh
bors quickly joined the search
using tractors with headlights,
and soon located the body.
Members of the family said
Wednesday that the bull had
shown tendencies of becoming
vicious, partic ularly toward
strangers, but had always acted
all right toward Mr. Moder. The
animals horns had been cut off,
but he apparently knocked Mr..
Moder to the ground on the first
charge and then trampled the
farmer to death.
A native of Darby township
Mr.. Moder was born Nov. IL, 1878
and was son of George and Eva
Kleiber Moder, both deceased He
was married in MarySVille on Oct
80, 1905 to Anna B. Nicol, who
survives. He was a member of the
| Trinity Lutheran church.
Also surviving are two sons,
Luther, of Marysville, and Clar-
ence, Columbus; two daughters,
Mrs. Florence Smith, Columbus,
and Mrs. Harry Smith, Orlando,
Fla; six brothers, Charles, Brews-
ter, O.; Ed, Oklahoma; Max, and
Otto, Marysville; Phillip, Colum-
bus; and Fred, Pittsburg; and
four sisters, Mrs. Katheryn Fox,
Mrs. Lena Jordon, Mrs. Elizabeth
Moore and Mrs. Mary Parks, all
of Marysville.
One son, Walter, was killed in
action with the U. S. Army on
Feb. 18, 1945.
Funeral services will be held
at 1:30 pm. Friday in his home
and at pm. in Trinity Lutheran
church, conducted by the Rev.
E. J. Goedeking. Interment will
be made in Trinity Lutheran
cemetery in charge of the Miller
funeral home.

DAYTON BOYS
ALMOST DIE
in FIRE HERE
Nearly Overcome BY
Smoke, Chance Arrival
OF DIR. Dutro Saved Them

Three Marysville brothers mar
rowly escaped suffocation in the
smoke resulting from a rubbish
fire in the basement of the build
ing at 112 N. Main st. late Tues
day night.
They were John Dayton, Is,
Marysville high school sophmore
star of the football and basket
ball teams, and his twin brothers,
David and James, IL. They are
the sons of Mrs. Louise Dayton,
who was at a party of her bridge
club at the home of Mrs. Rich
ard Simpson.
All three boys were asleep in
their second floor apartment "a
bove the sandwich shop and pool
room owned by Robert Elliott and
Harold (Dutch) Anderson. Smoke
from the basement fire carried
up through an elevator shaft and
poured out into their bedroom,
gradually overcoming them.
DR.. John t. Dutro, close friend
of the family, passed the building
about half-hour after the alarm
had been turned in and, noting
where the fire was, went upstairs
to see if he could be of any aSsis-
tance to the Daytons. He quickly
realized the situation and waken-
ed the boys, but not without diff
ficulty due to the denseness of
the smoke and the fact that they
had already been partially over
come.
u Another 10 minutes and it
would have been too late, fear" "
DR.. Dutro, an Army dentist with
rank of lieutenant colonel during
the war, declared. Members of the
Fire department, occupied with
getting at the blaze in the base
ment, had not thought to search
the building for occupants.
Mrs. Dayton, who protested to
Mayor Asman and other Village
officials, the failure of firemen
ITO search the building indicated
she got little satisfaction from
some of them. Zone fireman even
told me, Tuesday night that
We're paid to put out the fire
without even appearing to care
that my boys almost died." she
declared. ''The next time, some
one might not happen along just
in time," she added.
The fire itself was discovered
by Mr.. Anderson about 1870 p.
m. when he went down to check
the furnace for the night, prior
to closing the business place.
1t was understood that some
waste paper had been burned in
the furnace and it is believed
that some of this had fallen out
of the furnace and, unobserved,
into the pile of trash nearby,
assistant Fire Chief Harold Hy-
land said. The fire was confined
to the waste paper, old cartons
and other trash, and the bulAdlng
itself was not damaged.
However, due to the nature of
the fire, it was difficult to ex-
. tinguish and the fire department
was out until 1910 a. m. Wednes-
day before extinguishing the
flames completely.

REPORTS DUE
FROM FARMER

Farmers who have completed
their practices under the l946
ACP program and have not filed
a performance report at the To-
cal AAA office, are urged to do
so at once. Wilby R. Cochenour,
local chairman, says individual
performance reports must be ap-
proved before farmers can make
application for payment.
Evidence as to the amount and
quality of material used is requir-
ed in the case of lime; such evid-
ence may include purchase re-
ceipts, invoices, etc.
. Practices for which farmers of
Union county were approved to
earn payment under the 1946 pro-
gram include: application of linn
ing materials, fertilizer on legume
seeding with or without nurse
crop and on permanent pastures
or meadows, tile drainage, green
manure crops, hay seed harvest
ing, re-seeding permanent pas
ture, establishing sod waterways,
and contour strip cropping.
A few applications have been
submitted to the state office, and
the first 1916 payments are ex-
pected to reach farmers in De-
cember. A prompt report on prac-
tices completed will make it
possible to submit payment appli-
,kseations for many local farms be-
asSgre the close of the year.

Salary increases averaging .ap-
proximately $3.50 each were
granted to teachers and other en-
ployeeS of the Marysville school
system at special meeting of the
Board of Education, Monday
night.
At the same time, the Board
took action to permit dances
sponsored by responsible organ
izations" in the Senior high gym
nasium; named a new Liberty
trustee; and employed a man to
supervise a farm training pro-
gram for World War II veterans.
The salary increases will come
out of the extra one-mill APPROX
ed by the voters at the election
Nov. 5, l.. c.: Brubaker, clerk of
the Board, said. 1t will increase
the total payroll by about 8 per-
cent.
Others Benefited
In addition to the teachers, the
extra pay will also benefit Supt.
H. w. Carr and the several janit-
ors. The increase will become eff
fective as of Jan /. Mr.. Brubaker
indicated.
Decision to permit public dane
es in the Senior high gymnasium
was the result of a petition by
h e Hannah Emerson Dustin
chapter, Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, to have the
gymnasium for its annual Christ
mas dance.
About two years ago, a reSolu
ton placed ban on public dane
es in the gym after some damage
had been caused there by one.
This ruling was relaxed to per-
NIT responsible" groups to hold
dances there under the same reg
