Director II. C. RamSoWer of the
Agricultural Extension S erVic e
told of the relationships of the diff
ferent federal and state agencies
to the program of soil conserva-

tinued program of education.
AS a climax of the four day
school the group attended BAN
quet at which the main address

Sored and paid the expenses of the
delegates to the short course. He
said that the American Business
man is interested in soil conSer-
walton because it is good business
but that his interest was far dep
er than that. This is a nation wide
campaign, he said, land while
the burden of the campaign lies
most heavily on the shoulders of
the farmer, we must all find our
places in the campaign and do our
parts"

URGE MOTORISTS
OBEY SCHOOL LAWS

Cooperation of motorists in OBJ
serving traffic regulations con-
corning school buses and driving
past school buildings is requested
by State Highway Patrolman II. G.
Ramsey for the safety of the chill
dren.
The law set up a speed limit of
20 miles per hour past school
buildings, especially during recess
period and while the children are
on their way to and from school.
1t also provides that all vehicles
must stop whenever a school bus
stops to discharge passengers, re-
gardless Of whether they are ap-
preaching the bus from the front
or overtaking it from the rear.
"These two regulations are a.
mong the most important in the
traffic code from the standpoint Of
children's safety" Mr.. Ramsey de-
clared. 1T is our intention to see
that they are enforced and to pro-
tect the children. The Patrol has
requested all newspapers to give
prominence to these regulations as
a friendly warning to drivers, but
we intend to get tough with those
who do not heed it.
The speed limit past schools is
especially to be watched from 8
to $50 am, 10 to 1870 am,
11:3O am. to 1870 pm, ? to 2:30
pm, and again after 8 pm. while
children are on their way home.

FARM BURCLARIES
REPORTED SUNDAY
NEAR MARYSVILLE
Moder, Vanderau Homes
Are Entered; Loot $1,000,
Sheriff Roosa Reports

Two farm homes near MarySville
were burglarized Sunday afternoon
and the thieves made off with cash
and property estimated at more
than $1,000, Sheriff H. S. Roosa re-
ported today.
At the William Moder home, a.
bout two miles west of Marysville
on the Collins rd, the burglars
took approximately 5000 in cash
and checks and jewelry estimated
at $500.
About $50 in cash and clothing,
clocks and miscellaneous articles
valued at more than $100 were
taken from the Robert j. Wander
au home, located on the road con-
Meeting Collins rd. with the Milford
rd., about three miles west of town.
At both places, the burglars
broke small holes in the screen
doors, through which they were
able to unlatch the hooks and enter
the houses.
The Moder family had gone to
the Ohio Orchard CO., near Mill
ford Center, and was gone only a.
bout n hours, Sheriff RooSa said.
They returned about pm. to find
their home had been burgled, and
reported it Immediately.
The Vanderaus returned about
an hour later to make the same
discovery. The two houses are only
a few hundred yards apart, and
at each place the burglars were
apparently unobserved.
Whether there is any connection
between these burglaries and the
series of farm robberies which took
place in several different parts of
the county few months ago, Sher-
iff Roosa can only guess.
There were no clues of any
kind, other than a few finger
prints" he said. 1T could be the
same gang, or it could be someone
: entirely different"
Sgt Van Allen, fingerprint ex-
pert of the State Highway Patrol,
checked both houses for possible
prints and took some in for further
study. He has not reported to the
Sheriff yet on what he learned
from them.
