the stolen rings and so was un-
able to give a definite figure at
the time.
Exact hour of the burglary
could not be determined, except
that it occurred after midnight.
Harold Hildreth told Sheriff H.
S. Roosa he thought he heard
"a noise" about am. today and
went part way downstairs to in
cestigate. However, he saw moth
ing wrong and so returned to
their apartment over the store.
Mrs. Hildreth told the Sheriff she
thought she heard something
that sounded like breaking glass
about 3 am. today.
The burglary was not learned
by the Hildreth's until about $50
am. when Mrs. Leroy Ellis, a
bookkeeper for the Union Rural
Electric Coop, 124 N. Main ST.,
asked Mrs. Hildreth if she was
aware that one of her display
windows was broken. The Hill
dreths Immediately called Sher=
iff Roosa.
The Hildreths are having
new front installed on their
building, and a brick used by
the burglar was a part of debris
lying on the sidewalk in front of
the store. I'VE even furnished
the guy with the necessary
brick" Mr. Hildreth declared.
The next time, l hope they at
least bring their own brick "a
long"
The broken pane is in the south
show window The brick was
still lying inside it when the
theft was discovered The Hill
dreths carry both plate glass and
burglary insurance and believe
the loss covered.

OFFER ROOM FOR
YOUTH CENTER

The following letter has been
received from the Acre Realty
co. of Toledo, by Mrs. Beriah Ed
wards, sporsor and organizer of
the Union county Memorial Youth
Center, which reads in part:
1--WE are willing to cooperate
with the county youth program
in this way. If the community
can support the needs of the
Youth to the extent of putting
the place in order for such use
namely, caring for the remodeling
of the place-we would be will
ing to rent it to your group for
period of three years at 81 per
month. We would assume the eX-
pense of taxes and necessary in
creased insurance; your group,
the expenses of utilities-heat,
light and water as we'll as main
tenance At the end of three years
we would like to make a lease
for increased rental to be de-
termined at that time, but not to
exceed S25. By that time we
would know better how the pro-
ject will work out"
The expense of putting the
place in order is more than so
percent labor which a number of
the students have already offer
ed to help do to keep down eX-
penSes. Some Of the equipment
that will be needed for the Youth
Center has already been offered
at wholesale price. Before any
repair work is started plans will
be presented to the state build
ing inspector for his approval
A business meeting of boys
and girls attending the Youth
Center last summer will be held
in the Senior high school in the
near future. The boys and girls
will be given the privilege of ex-
pressing their opinions. After the
business meeting, the newly or
ganized Youth Center orchestra
will play a few numbers.
The youth center will open
again this spring at the Junior
high school gym, where it was
held last year, at the close of
the school year. Cecil Riser has
again been employed as head su-
pervisor, with Warren Widner
and Robert Wagner assisting. All
are school teachers.

scarf or hat doesn't stay up there
very long until someone recog-
nizes it and gets the usher to
take it down"

from one side of the theater to
the other, Mr.. Jarvis had tried
many schemes to get lost apparel
back to the rightful owners. He

with its colorful display, has
prompted losers of glasses, etc,
to inquire for them, too.
Anywhere from six to a dozen
different articles, most Of them
clothing of some sort, are found
in the theater every week, Mr..
Jarvis said. "We find most of
the things over the week-ends,
when kids attend in greater num-
bers," he added.
"As one might suspect, child
rem are the greatest losers, but
the adults are pretty bad, toe" !"

COUNTY RECEIVERS
FROM WIND STORM
MONDAY, TUESDAY
Most Damage On
Public Utility Lines;
Driving Is Hazardous

Union county was returning to
normal today after a severe cleo
trical and windstorm, Monday
and Tuesday, which disrupted IL
tilities, caused small property
damage, blocked highways with
SnowdriftS and made driving ex-
tremely hazardous.
l. G h thing Monday night
knocked out several transform
ers on both the Dayton Power &
Light Co. and Union Rural Elec-
trio Cooperative lines through
out the areas served by them,
and high winds blew down
several poles and service lines.
The United Telephone CO., like
wise, reported service disrupted
several places due to lines being
down.
In the north end of the county,
apparently harder hit than the
central and southern portions, it
was necessary to close Washing
ton and York Local schools, Tues
day, due to power failure. These
schools are served by the Ohio
Power Co., formerly Marion-Re-
serve Power co.
Damage Is Isolated
None of the utilities in the cen
trail and southern portions of the
county, however, reported any
widespread outrages. Most of the
trouble came from several indi-
vidual, isolated patrons, and full
service was returned by today.
Snow plows of both county and
state highway departments were
kept busy most of the time from
Monday night to Wednesday
opening snow drifts and keeping
roads clear. Snowfall Tuesday
night, driven by high winds,
made driving ''the worst l have
ever seen" according to Highway
Patrolman H. G. Ramsey.
The Patrolman, called to Hall S
Corners to investigate an accident
Tuesday evening, took 40 min
uteS to drive the nine miles from
New California to Marysville. -,
Il couldn't see out front at
all, he declared, "and could only
keep on the road by attempting
to remain in the middle between
the telephone poles on either side
of the road"
Several automobiles followed
Ramsey into MarySville.
Starts With Thunder Storm
The storm started with heavy
rain, thunder and lightning Mon
day evening. 1t gradually be-
came colder and turned to snow
as the wind increased in velocity,
and the temperature dropped
from SO above Monday afternoon
to only % above. Two inches of
snow fell.
Another 2R inches of snow
fall was reported Tuesday night,
again accompanied by high winds
and sub-freezing temperatures.
High and low temperatures and
snowfall for the past several days
as registered by Russell Banks,
local weather observer, were as
