new Union county coroner had to
be a physician. Provision of that
law is such that any person not a
medical doctor who held the posi-
tion of coroner when the law was
passed could continue in office, and
be rejected. However, such per-
sons successor must hold a doctor
of medicine degree.
Mr.. Foster was last reelected in
November, 1945 and started a new
term Jan. l, this year.
No new coroner can be elected
until November, 1947, so the Com
missioners had to appoint some
one to fill the vacancy until that
time.

else for us"
The old statute, which prohibits
sale of Intoxicating liquors within
two miles of any Fair, and 1900
yards of any state institution, was
unearthed by the W.C.TU. several
weeks ago 1t Immediately became
the subject of considerable contro-
versy between the W.C.TU., state
liquor officials, and saloon keepers.
Test Cases Filed
Last week the Attorney General
ruled the law was valid and en-
forCeable, and called upon all De-
partment of Liquor Control Off
GERS and other officials to enforce
the statute Liquor people had
maintained, until then, that it vas
outmoded by the liquor laws enact
ed in 1888 and 1884 following re-
peal of prohibition.
Immediately after the Attorney
Generals ruling, a group of Col
umbus saloon keepers brought ac-
tion in Franklin county court for a
restraining order to keep officers
from closing their establishments
during the Ohio State Fair next
week. Two temporary restraining
orders have already been issued for
them, and another hearing is
scheduled this week for either con-
tinuance of the temporary orders
or final disposition of the case.
Urges Cooperation
IF the Franklin county courts
do not reverse the Attorney Cen
eral, then we'll have to enforce the
law in Union county," Mr.. Cole
man pointed out.
This means nothing but 80
beer, held notwithstanding under
Ohio law, can be sold in MarySville
during the Union county Fair,
Sept. 8 through Is.
Il will appreciate it if establish
ments selling liquor, wine and beer
will discontinue, of their own free
will, any sales during that week in
compliance with the law, should it
be upheld in the Franklin county
test case. If the dealers do not
choose to cooperate with us, then
I will deem it my duty to take
whatever steps are necessary to
see that full compliance is obtain

the fun was planning the trip and
the packing of the dufflebag. A
circle had been drawn around the
dates on the calendar for many
days. When we arrived at the lake
we all enjoyed setting up camp.
The boys made short work of it
as we had boat and they were to
learn to row the boat and the
handling of it. In a very short time
they could handle the boat very
we'll and they spent many happy
hours out on the lake, and they
were proud when the parents came
for them to take Martha and Tom
for a boat ride.
They did some fishing and
caught some. Bill had big fish on
his line and was trying to pull it up
on boat landing but it pulled free.
He had that experience that sure
ly comes to everyone when "the
big one got away" He had a thrill
and was greatly excited notwith-
standing the loss.
At one time we had crapies, pike,
bluegills and bass for dinner, and

The boys watched the move
ments of a Weather-vane. 1t was
shaped like a fish and in a short
time it pointed to all four points of
the compass. A black bird would
perch on it and get a ride when
the wind was high. A big crane
stood like a statue not far away
and suddenly his long beak and
neck dived into the water and
came up with a fish in his mouth.
He shifted it around until he had
headed it down his neck and it was
soon swallowed. He gave call to
his mate, / suppose he was telling
her he had caught a fish. l think
she said, Bring it over here for my
breakfast, or come over and sit on
these eggs while do some fish
ing" But he just flapped his wings,
stuck his long legs out behind and
flew off in another direction.
They watched an airplane and a
crane flying overhead. They were
mirrored in the lake where they
looked much alike. A red-winged
black bird swayed on a tip of a
reed and looked pretty in the wat
er. A man showed them a red fish
which he had caught in the lake.
He had it in a live-boX and releaS-
ed it while they were there. It
would weigh about one and one
half pounds and was the color of a
goldfish. They saw man initiate
a rubber raft and he and a small
boy got in it. They attached it to a
motor boat and were towed out on
the lake. 1 rode safely over the
high waves. They saw a large
Speedboat being launched on the
lake and soon the owners were
taking pleasure trip.
The boys had the pleasure of
owning (?) a boat for one day.
During a high windstorm a boat
was seen adrift on the lake. The
wind brought it near our cottage
and in some way they got it in to
shore and tied it up. Someone told
them if the owners did not claim
it, the boat was theirs. 1t was a
beauty.
They watched over it until they
started home and asked me to let
them know about it. That night the
owner located it. and asked who
had rescued the boat. When he
found the boys had gone home he
left a note thanking them and en-
closed a gift. People are nice.
We packed a picnic lunch and
rowed up to the island to fish and
eat our lunch. By prearranged
plans one boy would row out on
our trips and the other one back.
But when we got to the island the
high waves were breaking against
the shore, so we came back into
the quiet water of the channel and
Jim got to row on the rough water
and back again. We ate our picnic
lunch in the cottage instead of on
the island.
Their time for leaving came too
soon. But just a few days camping
instillS a love of the out-of-doors.
They accepted things as they were
and did their share of the work
with no gripping. Next year they
will want to go back to Turkey
Foot Park and they will go some
where year after year on camping
trips.

BY PATROLMAN
Only Two Are Injured,
None Seriously, In
Any Of Them, Ramsey Says


Ony two persons were injured,
none seriously, in three separate

Sunday by State Highway Patrol
man H. G. Ramsey. They were:
Mrs. Clarence Tate, 55, st.

Both women were passengers in

two miles north of SomerSville at
7:20 pm. Sunday.
Tried To Pass Car
Tate and two other passengers
in the car were unhurt. The others
were Carence Tate, st. Louisville,

hanna, an eXpectant mother.
The Tates were driving south on
the Kenton rd. and attempted to
pass a car bbeing driven by Johnny
Demchuk, worlds heavyweight
wrestling champion, of Columbus.
About the same time that Tate
started around him, Demchuk pull
ed out to pass the machine ahead
of him.
Tate evidently became ratified
and stepped on the accelerator
instead of the brake when he drove
onto the left shoulder of the high
way because he Travelled a con-
siderable distance before hitting
the pole, Patrolman Ramsey said.
The three women were taken to
Grant hospital in the William

trolman Ramsey took the two men
in his car.
Collide With Train
Four young men from billiards

Great Lakes, Ill. Passengers were
Frank Cordetti, Ford Skaggs and
Earl Vanover.
Murl Vanover told Patrolman
Ramsey that, when he attempted
to stop the car, the brakes would
not hold and he pulled to the left
around the crossing gate and into
the side of the train, striking it at
an angle.
Third Accident
Although the four were some
what bruised and shaken, none of
them was hurt and the were able
to patch up the 1888 Plymouth Sc
dan so they could continue on their
way. The train did not stop, the
engineer not knowing of the acci-
dent. He was S. V. KreeS, Colum-
bus, Mr. Ramsey learned later.
The third accident occurred at
5:25 pm. Sunday on Route AZ, 2.3
