Two York township boys were
wounded, one seriously, when a
Byhalia woman shot at them as
they allegedly were entering her
premises for Halloween pranks
at 1890 p. m. Thursday. They are;
Robert Boyce, %, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Lloyd Boyce, of near
West Mansfield, who was taken to
San Antonio hospital, Kenton,
with shotgun wounds in his neck
and face.
Richard B. Vance, %, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Vance, of
near York Center, who suffered
shotgun wounds in his legs and
lower part of his body. He was
treated by a Mt. Victory Physi-
clan and sent to his home.
Mrs. Eta Moody, who is ac-
cused of shooting the two boys,
is free under bond of 5000 after
pleading not guilty to charges of
shooting with intent to wound,
She was arraigned before Justice
William H. Snodgrass Friday
morning, after spending Thursday
night in Union county Jail.
Gun Recently Purchased
Sheriff H. S. RooSa, who was
called to the scene of the shoot
ing, said the woman used a .4l0
gauge shotgun which she had re-
Gently purchased. The boys were
about $50 feet from her back
door when she allegedly fired at
them, standing in her doorway to
do so.
Mrs. Moody said she had fired
into the air and was not trying
to hit anyone. The Boyce youth
had just climbed over a back
fence onto the Moody property,
and was crouched behind a shrub
when he was shot. The Vance
boy was standing on the other
side of the fence, Sheriff RooSa
said, not yet having gone onto
Mrs. Moody's lot.

Soaps Off, Orderly Halloween Season
Observed Lost Week; Carnival Success

end of the proposition, 1T was as
much fun .as it was for the kids,
and scarcely a home in town
went without one or several viSi-
tors. And either the kids are get
ting more ingenious or masquer-
ade materials are more plentiful
in stores, but it seemed like they
were doing a better job of dres-
sing up for the occasion than they
used to. Many of the costumes
were extremely clever.
In connection with the Halo
we'en Carnival, which was staged
for the benefit of county polio
funds, parade and masquerade
contest was held. Mrs. John De-
VosS, Milford Center; Tom Navin,
Redwood; and Cecil Riser,
Marysville, were judges.
Presiding as king" an d
Queen" of the celebration were
Roger Oman, Redwood, and Jean
Jolliff, Byhalia, both of whom
have had infantile paralysis.
They were driven to their seats
for the program in Chevrolet
convertible donated by the Curl
Chevrolet garage, of Redwood.
The parade was headed by the
Marysville high school band.
In addition to the parade and
dancing, refreshment stands were
operated on the sidewalk, where
cider and doughnuts were serV-
ed.
Prizes for the masquerade were
donated by Schueller's Hardware
store, Vogue Beauty shop, Amer
ican Legion, Labour of Love Cir
Gle of the Kings Daughters,
Spain's Modern Home Appliance
shop, Asman's Drug store, Car
ter's sc to 81 store, the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, and the Loyal
Order of Coolies.
Money raised by the dance will
be used toward helping provide
treatment for infantile paralysis

ARTICLE STOLEN FROM
POST OFFICE RECOVERED

First real lead on the Sept. IL
burglaries of the Post Office, the
Farmers g. Merchants Bank and
Ohio Grain Co., of Milford Cent
er, turned up Sunday, when bank
books and a mail bag taken in
the burglaries were found by
fishermen, in the Scioto river,
near Delaware.
These articles were turned in
to the sheriff of Delaware county
and were inspected by the post
office inspectors, Sheriff H. S.
Roosa said. Sheriff Roosa said he
had heard nothing of what was
found by inspecting these clues.
Total loot of the burglaries
amounted to approximately $3.50
and an estimated S100 worth of
stamps.

country, and SIS month for SER
vice overseas, to a maximum OF
$400. If a veteran died during the
war or since, of causes not con-
nected with his service, his sur
vivors can collect the amount that
would have been due him. If his
death was serviced-connected,
they can apply for the full
amount of $400. 1t is estimated
that the average payment will be
around $3.50 per veteran.
The entire cost of the bonus is
estimated to cost not more than
$3.50 million. This includes the
cost of administration and the
principal and interest on bonds
which will be sold to get the pay
ments under way as soon as
possible. The general Assembly
already has set aside $25 million
for this purpose. The amendment
provides for the use of $3.50
million additional from. general
state revenues over a l5-year
period which is also the life of
the bonds to be issued.
That leaves a total of SIPS
million to be raised. 1t is probable
that this will be secured by coun-
ty levies against real estate of all
kinds-that is, property which is
now valued on the Ohio grand
duplicate at $11 billion. 1t is es-
timated that an increase of only
81 cents for each $1,000 of tax
valuation will be necessary to
raise this sum. AS an example
the owner of home valued on
the tax duplicate at $4500 would
pay 1892 extra each year or $50
for the Is year period,
We of the American Legion
this is only a small part of what
we owe our boys who fought in
world war III: No amount of pro-
ductive and gainful careers and
the many hardships they with
stood that we might continue the
life we think best. We ask your
whole hearted support for this
symbol of appreciation to Ohio
veterans next Tuesday.

TWO YOUNG MEN, OUT 'HALLOWE'ENINC'
SHOT BY BYHALIA WOMAN, THUSDAY

The woman told authorities she
only wanted to scare the boys
away. For the past several weeks,
she said, she and her daughter,
Wynter Moody, a grade teacher
in the Washington Local schools
at Byhalia, have been pestered
with groups of boys.
Damage Done to Property
Rotten tomatoes and other de-
bris have been thrown on their
porches and at their home, they
said. Parts of fences have been
torn down, and outbuildings up
set, in addition to other damage.
Mrs. Moody said she had erected
mo Trespassing" signs, and
asked the boys to quit molesting
her, all to no avail.
Mrs. Moody added that, before
the shooting, she saw a group of
perhaps Is to 20 boys approach
ing her property, apparently
about to tip over an out-building
on her lot. In an effort to fright
en- them away, she said, she fired
at them with the gun.
Charges were filed against her
Friday morning by the Vance
youth, and she was Immediately
released after furnishing bond.
She is represented by Attorney
GWynn Sanders.

Business men, housewives and
motorists alike were busy a great
part of Saturday removing the
evidence of the Halloween sea-
son from windows, but aside from
that, the annual event passed
without much trouble in Marys-
vile.
Beggars' night, Thursday, prob
ably produced more fun for
everyone concerned than did
Halloween itself, Friday. A street
carnival and dance, held in S.
Main st. Thursday night, spon-
sored by the Union county chap
ter of the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, cleared ap-
proximately $500 and attracted
hundreds of people downtown for
it.

Asman and other authorities ex-
pressed appreciation for the ord

erly observance of the event here.
No serious trouble of any kind
was reported. There were only
a few isolated instances of prop
erty damage, and most of these
were minor. Very few articles
were carried away from home,
although some careless property
owners may have had to 60 to
the trouble of putting chairs and
swings back on their porches.
Masquerades Clever
Most of the kids were out en-
masse, Thursday night, as they
beggar's night handouts. They
made their rounds of the town for
youngsters, masked in every con-
ceivable kind of outlandish cos
tune, carried everything from
shoe boxes to marketing bags to
hold their loot or apples, cookies,
popcorn, candy, etc.
