HOSPITAL PLANS STUDIED BY BOARD;
BUILDING FACTORS STILL UNFAVORABLE

The County Hospital Board met
with the architects Friday eve
ming at which time final details
of the preliminary plans were
discussed.
In addition to the design and
layout of the building, plans for
driveways, parking area and grad
ing operations are now practically
complete. 1t is hoped that clear
ing of the sight, installation of
construction driveways, thinning
of trees and underground can get
underway yet this summer.
In the opinion of Columbus and
Cleveland authorities, the out
look for building construction is
still not good. Very few projects
are being let on firm bids; practi-
cally no contracts are accepted
on cost plus. A project such as the
county hospital could not be built
on that basis because of state laws
but aside from that, it does not
seem reasonable or wise to 60
ahead with actual building at this
time.
1t is reported that veterans hos
pitfalls are costing close to $4,000
per bed making a 50-bed institu-
ton figure million dollars.
Speaking for the board, John
Wolff, chairman, pointed out that
until federal aid is assured, there
would not be enough money to
start construction even if condi-
tions justified this.
Meanwhile, the board is plann-
ing to get together with the trust
ees of the Hospital Association
this week to decide upon disposi
ton of the Henderson house now
on the hospital site. In addition
the hospital needs of Union Coun-
ty are being kept before the State
Health Department SO that when
federal funds are available to
Ohio, every possible considera-
ton will be given the Union
county project.

SALOONS TO RUN
DURING FAIR HERE

Because Union county's Fair
comes the second week of Sep
tember, the boys who are that
away inclined will be able to
obtain their usual supply of
spirituous beverages in Marys-
vile without trouble, that week.
But if the Fair had been
week sooner, it would have been
a different story.
The Fair will be Sept. 8, 10, IL
and u.
An old Ohio Statute, banning
sales within two miles of an
agricultural exposition, was re-
pealed by the Legislature this
year but the repeater does not
take effect until Sept 8.
The old law had been on the
books since the 1905 but was
long forgotten until dry forces
rediscovered it last year and de-
manded its enforcement. This was
the occasion of considerable con-
roversy at the time, but Courts
ruled it was legal.
The General Assembly prompt
ly removed it from the books
when it convened in Columbus
this spring; thus ending another
round in wet-dry battle.

I does not nave enough money 10
keep the cemetery in the good
condition the people of Marysville
desires.
For the past few years as at
present, they have had only en-
ough money to pay labor for the
upkeep of the cemetery.
Need Water System
Mr. Faulkner stated that one
of the most needed repairs is a
new water system. According to
Mr.. Faulkner, the tank at the
cemetery, "can only hold two feet
of water and the first strong wind
that comes along, may knock it
down."
Mr.. Lee added that the roads
in the cemetery are in serious
need of repair. In some places he
said roads have widened over the
feet of graves.
The proposed two-mill levy
will be for five years. In addition
to the levy, the Board plans to
increase the price of lots. The in
crease of price has not been de-
finitely decided yet, however.
Since the hardest expense to
meet is that of the care of the
grounds, it was talked of having
lthe owners of the lots pay SO much
for the care of the lots, in addi-
ton to the price of the lot.
The cemetery board is also 60
ing to write up new ordinance
for the cemetery, as the one now
in effect was written in 1881, and
needless to say adequate. 1t will
be presented before the City
Council, Fthe next meeting.
Report on Sewers
The Board of Public Affairs also
appeared before the Council and
had Floyd G.. Browne, Marion
engineer. report on the findings
of the men he had testing the
operation of the sewage disposal
plant and the purity of the Town
run. The tests were taken from
June % TO July 8.
Mr.. Browne stated that the dis
posal system was working well,
considering it is doing practically
three times as much work as il
was built for 1t is working practi-
ally at a SO per cent efficiency
according to the tests made.
1t was also disclosed in the

HYBRID SEED CORN
ACREAGE SHORTER

Approximately 425 acres of
hybrid seed corn is being grown
in Union county this summer,
according to a survey just COM
pleted by the farm labor super
visor in the office of county
agent Frank Greeneisen. In nor
NAL years, nearly 500 acres of
hybrid corn is grown in the
county. This acreage makes I'm
ion county an important hybrid
seed corn producing county in
Ohio. The acreage this year is
distributed among five different
growers. One grower did not
plant any corn because of un-
favorable planting conditions last
spring.
All of the corn was planted late
and has not made favorable
growth this summer. In normal
years, the corn is detasseled by
the middle of August; however,
this year the growers do not ex-
pect to start until some time
after August Is. This will re-
quire considerable labor to do the
work.
Anyone interested in helping
the growers to detassel corn
should contact either the county
agents office or the growers
themselves. 1t is hoped the work
will be completed before school
starts in the fall, since school
students do a great amount of
the work.

GRANGE DEGREE
ON 100
Repeat Performance"
Needed To Handle All

More than 1000 Grange mem
bers from Union, Delaware,
Franklin, Madison, Marion, Cham
paign, Logan and Clark counties
received the Oranges sixth de-
gree at rites held in the Marys-
vile high school auditorium last
Wednesday.
Altogether, more than 1900 per
sons witnessed the ceremony. The
crowd was SO large, according to
County Deputy Thurman Skid
more, Liberty township, that it
was necessary to hold a " repeat
performance" The auditorium
simply was not big enough to ac-
comodate the crowd at one time
Estimated number Of Candidates
from each county were: Union,
1870; Delaware, 800; Franklin, so;
Madison, 100; Marion, ZOO Cham
paign, 100; Logan, $50; and Clark,
8. The latter county was not sup
posed to come here for the De-
gree work, Mr.. Skidmore explain
ed, but eight members from that
county found it more conven-
lent to do SO.
Travelling Degree Team
The degree work was exempli-
fled by a travelling degree team
composed of officers of the Ohio
State Grange, headed by Joseph
w. FIGHTER, state master.
Prior to the degree work, a
banquet was held in the Senior
high recreation room, attended
by approximately 100 Grange Of
ficials. Several of those present
were introduced and called upon
for brief responses.
A program was held between
the banquet and ritualistic work.
Mr.. FIGHTER gave short address
in which he stressed the nee
essity for rural people to work
together to bring about legisla-
tive improvements desirable to
them. Almost 100 percent of the
Legislation sponsored by the
Grange at the last Legislature was
enacted into law, he pointed out.
Following his address, each
county present furnished one
number for the program, one of
the high-lights being a Delaware
county farm boys state prize
winning defamation on conser-
vation, which he will present at
a national defamation contest in
Washington D. c. later on.
