HOME AT MILFORD
BURGLARIZED, GET
$500 OF ARTICLES
Carpentry Tools Are Stolen
From William Schmidt's
House On Sunday Evening

More than $500 worth of wood
working tools and other articles
were stolen by burglars who broke
into the farm home of William
Schmidt, near Milford Center,
Sunday evening, while tn e
Schmidts were attending services
at the st. PauPS Lutheran church
in Chuckery.
The home of John Schmidt,
nearby, was also entered, but pre-
liminary check-up did not reveal
anything stolen from this home,
Sheriff H. S. Roosa said.
The following articles were ta.
ken from the William Schmidt
house:
70 5O-cent pieces; Holton from
bone valued at SIS; clarinet val
ued at $50; 300 pennies; one-hali
electric drill valued at $50; Speed
matte portable saw, S123.5O;
Woodcraft table saw, $50; New
F'irestone tire, 6.00x 16, SIC; one
hand saw, $4; one string of pearls
$40.
Sheriff RoOsa said the burglars
simply walked in through an un.
locked door to take the articles
from the house. The woodwork
ing tools were in the garage, also
unlocked. Inside the house, the
burglars ransacked drawers and
closets, and were apparently ir
every room in the house.
The John Schmidt house was
locked, and the burglars broke o,
pen a back door to gain entrance
This house, however, was not sc
completely ransacked as was Will
liamS.
The Schmidts left for church al
7 o. m, and returned home at 9:15
p. M, so the burglary was commit
ted between those hours.
Sheriff RooSa believes there may
be a connection between the
Schmidt robberies, and the bur
glaries on April 7 of homes il
Pharisburg, Claibourne and neal
Marysville. .~e ------.. .
He was at the Schmidt home
this afternoon, following further
possible leads which were discover
ed as the Schmidts continued
checking their property to determ
inc whether or not anything else
is missing.

1863 ACCIDENTS ON
FARMS OF COUNTY

Through the medium of a survey
which was recently completed by
AAA committeeman as they con-
tacted farmers in connection with
their 1916 crop plans, some inter-
eSting facts relative to farm safe
ty were uncovered. This survey
was sponsored by the Union coun-
ty Agricultural Council, with Will
by Cochenour, chairman of the To-
cal AAA directing the actual sur
vey work. This type of work is
being done in a few Ohio counties
in cooperation with division of
safety and hygiene of the State
Industrial Commission and the
Agricultural Extension service of
Ohio State university.
For the purpose of this survey,
an accident is defined as "any in
jury to a member of the immediate
family which resulted in loss of
time and or required professional
medical care, which occurred during
1945." Five hundred and twelve
farms were contacted out of a to-
tai of approximately 2340 in the
county, which would mean that
information secured would be rep
reSentative of conditions on ap-
proximately % percent of our
farms.
Using the information thus Sc
cured as a fair cross section of the
county and extending similar per-
centageS to the remaining farms,
it is found that in 1945, 169 acci-
dents occurred on Union county
farms and in rural homes with
6399 days lost, resulting in 2413
days of extra hired labor at a cost
of $12,063. Total medical expense
was $13,3S6 and in % cases, the
injury resulted in permanent par
tial disability. County Agent D. B.
Robinson, in commenting on this,
said, with all precautions being
taken to avert accidents on our
farms and in our farm homes, they
still show an alarming cost in hu-
man life and suffering, to say
nothing of the time and financial
losses involved" }"
