MANY COMPLAINTS
ABOUT DUMPING

Several complaints have been
received in recent weeks by the
Union county Department of
Health from farmers complaining
of raw sewage being emptied in
to drain tiles and water sources.
Most of the complaints have
come from the Dover and Union
township areas, DR.. T. R. Laugh
baum, health commissioner, said
All request the Health Depart
ment to take action to prevent it.
Approximately six of the letters
have been received recently, he
said.s
The practice is against regula-
tions of both the State Depart
ment of Health and the Division
of Conservation, and any offend
ers will be dealt with according
to provisions of the laws.
No damage or pollution has
been caused yet by the dumping
of sewage in such places, DR..
Laughbaum said, but pointed out
that continuation of the practice
could lead to very serious trouble
in the neighborhoods affected
even to epidemics.

COLD OR NOT, KIDS
STILL GO SWIMMIN'

You can't stop the kids when
it comes to swimming.
Of this, Frank w. Galloway,
manager of Municipal Swimming
Pool is firmly convinced.
The Pool was finally opened at
1890 p. m. Wednesday, six days
later than had been scheduled,
and approximately 100 boys and
girls braved the icy water for
their first plunge of the season.
Until the evenings are warmer,
however, and there is enough
sunshine to warm up the water,
the pool will be open from 10 a.
m. until only 6 p. M, Mr.. Gallo
way said.
Pools hours normally are 10 a.
m. to 10 D. m. and these will be
put into effect as soon as wealth
er permits. The pool was suppos-
ed to have opened on Memorial
Day, last Friday, but Wednesday
was the first day it got warm E.
nough for the management to
deem it safe for the children's
health to 60 swimming.

HEDRICK APPEARS
i'm JUVENILE COURT
THIS MORNING
Pleads Not Guilty
To Each of A Charges
Escape Try Revealed

Odell c. Hedrick, II, youthful
Columbus ex-convict who en-
gagged in running gun battles with
a MarySville business man and
a State Highway Patrolman here
last May %, appeared before
Juvenile Judge John w. Daley
at 10 a. m. and was bound over
to the Union county Grand Jury
The youth entered pleas of not
guilty to four charges: one OF
grand larceny, two of shooting
at with intent to kill, and one
of automobile theft. His bond was
fixed at $4,000 and he was unable
to furnish it.
The Grand Jury will meet at
$50 a. m. June 16.
Hedrick stole a revolver and
an automatic pistol from the
Union Furniture & Appliance
Store at $40 p. m. May %, and
took one shot at the store mana
ger, Milton c. Cooper, as Mr.
Cooper was chasing him on S.
Main st.
Less than an hour later, the
boy was captured by Highway
Patrolman Donald c. Roof, of
Delaware, after a running gun
battle at Watkins. His stolen
automobile was mired behind the
Watkins school by Supt. Albert
c. Wade, who then notified the
Highway Patrol that the boy was
trapped there.
Prior to binding him over to
the Grand Jury, Judge Daley
traced the youths past record
two escapes from the Boys In
dustrial School at Lancaster, and
one sentence in the Mansfield
Reformatory, from which he was
paroled in April-and added, 81

self, so I'll have to bind you
over"
The youths father, Odell He'd
rick, Columbus, a foreman for
the Marble Cliff stone quarries,
was in Court this morning. He
was quoted by Prosecutor Will
lam l.. Coleman as saying, in eff
feet:
Il guess the boy just can't be-
have himself, so he'll have to
be cooped up"
The Prosecutor revealed that
Hedrick had tried to escape from
Union county Jail the first day
he was there. He attempted to
remove hardware and fastenings
from one of the Jail windows, but
was caught by the alertness OF
Sheriff H. S. Roosa.
Since that time, he has been
kept locked up in the Jairs "bull
PEN, which has no outside open
ings.
Hedrick was handcuffed to the
Sheriff the entire time he was
in Court this morning, to make
sure he would not try to run a
way again.

have damaged the wheat crop so
that the outlook today is not as
good as it has been in recent
years.
There has been too much
water standing in wheat fields"
the Agent declared, land much
of the young crop has been
drowned out" For the nation as
whole, however, prospects are
for a bumper crop.
Hay crop, on the other hand,
will probably top last years rec
ord breaking yields, if the farm
erS are able to put it up, the
County Agent declared.
Ohio State university'S size-up
of the crop outlook for central
Ohio, as received by Mr.. Green
eisen, is as follows:
Corn
Corn planted in Ohio UP to
kJune % for grain and until July
for silage probably will pro-
duce more feed per acre than any
available substitute grain crop.
The chances are even that corn
will mature when planted from
June 20 to 25.
Yields records of Clarage corn
at Wooster for a 20-year period
show; Corn planted May II aver
aged 81 bushels, May 27 averaged
SO bushels, June 3 averaged as
bushels, and June 13 averaged 81
bushels. Silage yields did not
decrease until after the May q
planting.
Corn will grow faster and ma
ture earlier if fertilizer applica-
tions per acre are increased to
$50 pounds for checked and to
300 to 400 pounds for drilled corn
or for checked corn with fertilizer
drilled in the row.

PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM DONATED
TOSWIMMINC POOL BY TONY BUTLER

address system for use at the
Municipal Swimming Pool, and
has given it to the Pool as a gift
The amplifyer has been installed,
free of charge, by Bob Smart
local electrician.
Principal use of the public adj
dress system will be in calling
people to the telephone-and that
means principally the boys and
girls whose mothers have a mes
sage for them. Heretofore, it has
been necessary for a life guard to
hunt up the person wanted, some
times an involved procedure,
especially when there is a crowd,
and often the desired person can
not be found in a crowd.
In case of emergency, the new
sound system can also be used to
clear the pool in a hurry, and
whenever water carnivals are
held, it will be used to introduce
and announce results.
Another gift to the pool this
spring was a number of large
posts which Manager Frank w.
Galloway ordered from the Will
Jams & McIntire CO. for use in the
parking area. When the bill for
these posts arrived, it was mark
ed paid.
'It is always gratifying to me,
personally, to see the splendid
interest which Marysville people
take in their pool" Mr.. Galloway
said. "The pools fine reputation
becomes better known every
year, and Marysville folk are
justifiably proud of it.
~These recent gifts are most
deeply appreciated by the board
and the management" he added.
