STATE APPROVES
BLUE PRINTS

Word has just been received by
officer of the Union county mem
orial Youth Center that the blue
prints for the new youth center
over the A & P Store have been
approved by the state building
Inspector.
Work on the project will be-
gin as soon as sufficient funds
can be raised to assure its COM
pletion.
The fact that the youth center
has been very popular place for
the youth of the county has given
the members of the youth center
for the completion of
| the new location at the earliest
possible date.
A vigorous campaign to raise
funds for this purpose will be-
, gin Saturday, Aug. 16. Tags will
be given to all contributing to
this cause.
The Youth Center will close at
its present location in the Junior
high gym on Aug. %.
1t is the hope of the boys and
girls that the public will respond
generously and promptly SO that
the project can get under way for
a winter location for thems
All money spent on improve
ments at the above location will
be credited to the Youth Center
The first three years rent are not
to exceed $1.00 per month after
| which a new lease is to be drawn
up not to exceed S25 per month
for another specified period OF
time. Taking the improvements
into consideration this should not
make high rent for the youth
center and will afford our boys
and girls more central location
for their center.

GREAT PROGRESS
BY M. H. S. BAND
DURING SUMMER
Put-in-BaY Trip
Was High Light
Of Summer Proqramm

The Summer Music school in
Guiding eight weeks of beginners
Junior and senior band rehearSalS
private lessons, eight weekly con-
certs played on the square, and
other public appearances, are re-
ported a real success by Donald
Euverard, music instructor OF
Marysville schools.
Mr.. Euverard believes he gave
nearly 400 private lessons during
the summer. A decided improv-
ment in the playing of many band
members was noted this summer
and a large sum of money was
earned by their summer program
In addition to the weekly street
concerts, the band made four
parade appearances. The high
school band made two different
Decoration Day appearances, one
in the Fourth of July parade and
also played at the Redwood Fair
one afternoon.
The climax of the bands sum-
mer program was an all day ex.
cursion to Putin Bay. This was
financed by the Band Parents
Association, using about one-fiftt
of the summer income made by
the band this year.
The trip was open to any bano
member who wished to go and {
large number went and enjoyed
the days festivities.
The remains of the summer
funds will be used to equip anc
put the band in first class con
dition for the approaching foot
ball season. Mr.. Euverard statec
that several additional instru
ments are to be purchased and the
uniforms are to be cleaned, re
paired and improved.

holding a course in automobile
driving in the school program.
The course is sponsored by the
A. A. A. and the Chevrolet Co.
Since the course calls for 20 hours
of class room study, 80 hours in
the car and 8 hours behind the
wheel, the board did not know if
it could be worked in the regu-
lar school schedule.
The school board decided to
tour all three school buildings at
z p. m. Wednesday to see the re-
decoration job that was done this
summer. Members attending the
meeting were L. G.. Brubaker,
Charles Splitter, Vernon Swink
and Supt. Carr.

CANCER DEATHS
INCREASE in OHIO

Reports show that cancer is
gradually working its way to the
top of the list of diseases that are
the major cause of deaths in
Ohio. In report given out by the
Union County Health office We'd
nesday, it was disclosed that in
1916, the deaths of % Union
county residents were due to can
Ger. Contrary to the general
trend over Ohio, however, this
number was lower than the pre-
vious year. In 1945, "a Union
County deaths were due to can
Ger.
The total for Ohio in 1916, as
reported by the State Health De-
partment, was 10,550 cancer
deaths. This number averages,
145.25 per hundred thousand OF
Ohio's deaths. In 1945 cancer ac-
counted for 144.28 per hundred
thousand deaths in Ohio.
In 1909, the first year Ohio
compiled statistics on cancer, there
were only 3402 deaths due to
cancer. This low number of can
Ger deaths in believed due to
the causes of many deaths then,
not being known.
Heart diseases still ranks 1st
place and very hlgn, though, with
24,389 of Ohio deaths in 1916, be-
ing due to heart disease, and
cancer ranking second place with
l0,550 deaths.

other New World moderns.
