Rutland Asserts
Board Ignored
His Health Plan
Says He Proposed
Training Teachers
To Assist Nurses

Health Officer George C. Ruhland
charged last night that the Board
OF Education had ignored his re-
quest for hearing on a proposal
to help solve the shortage of school
nurses by using teachers to aid in
spotting physical defects of their
young pupils.
DR.. Rutland made the charge in
answer to one from DR.. James A.
Cannon, physician member of the
school board, that the school med
ical services are "disgracefully in
adequate" DR.. Cannon said that
unless the health program for the
schools improved he would urge the
school board to seek Congressional
action transferring this service from
the Health Department to the board.
While conceding that the number
OF school nurses was inadequate,
DR.. Rutland described himself as
"a little bit astounded" at the tenor
of DR.. Gannon's criticism. He said
he had asked provision for 10 more
nurses in the 1948 District budget
and that no provision had been
made for any of them. He will put
the same request. he said, into the
1949 budget.
Says Board Asked for Ideas.
The school board, according to DR..
Rutland, wrote him on June 8 ask
ing If he had any ideas for improv-
ing the health program in the
schools. He said he replied in de-
tail on June 13 saying he did have
an idea and would like to discuss 1t
with them.
1t was in that letter. he went on.
that he described his proposal for
training teachers so they would be
able to spot physical defects of their
pupils and bring them to the at
tention of health officials.
The school board, DR.. Rutland
said, did not acknowledge the letter
and he was never given the oppor-
tunity he asked to present his plan.
His program, he said, did not con-
template replacing nurses with
teachers. In the absence of sufficient
nurses, however, he thought the
teachers could perform a useful
service, he said.
Training Course Prepared.
The Districts nursing bureau, DR..
Rutland disclosed, has been pre-
pairing some courses of instruction
to train teachers in observing pupil
health. Similar courses, he said,
could be made part of the curricula
at teachers colleges here.
DR.. Rutland said the experience
Of the Red Cross had demonstrated
conclusively that lay persons could
assimilate elementary medical
knowledge.
~. In fact, some teachers already are
checking the health of their pupils
while others remain indifferent, he
said. He described his proposal for
using teachers as perfectly rea-
sonable request" in view Of the
shortage Of nurses.
Dr.. Rutland said he had dis
cussed the plan with DR.. Hobart M.
Corning, school superintendent, as
we'll as with his two predecessors.
AL of them, he said, verbally indi-
Gated interest in the plan, which
he had tried successfully in Syra-
cuse, N. Y. But nothing has been
done about 1t here, he asserted.

to comply with the statutes as
set up in the Constitution of
Ohio, but that the SolonS, at that
time, were acting legally under
the Home Rule Act Article 18,
of the Constitution of Ohio. He
presented the argument that this
Act gave the Solons the right to
draw up their ordinance as they
did, without necessarily comply
ing with the statutes.
Judge Tudor handed down no
decision, but said he would give
it soon.
The Villages case against the
Cooks, involves the moving of
Rockies Korners, from its pres
ent location at the point of w.
Fourth and w. Fifth st. to a site
near there, on the Boulevard,
across from the entrance to
Grand ave. The village officials
objected to this move and filed
an injunction suit to stop it. This
case will also be decided by
Judge Tudor's verdict on the
Trenor case.

SOLONS REVIVE
AMUSEMENT TAX
WITH AMENDMENT
Council Meet Monday
Comparatively Quiet;
Zoning Discussed Little

After the stormy arguments
over zoning ordinances which
had featured previous meetings,
a comparatively quiet session
was held in the Council chambers
Monday evening, when the
Marysville Council met for its
second monthly meeting. Little
discussion was raised on the
Village zoning ordinance. Other
action to be taken by the Solons
on the present zoning ordinance
or a new one were dismissed
awaiting the outcome of the
hearing on the legality of the
ordinance Tuesday in the Com
mon Pleas Court, under Common
Pleas Judge, Arthur d. Tudor, of
Kenton.
The appointment of a planning
committee, for drawing up new
ordinance, should it be needed,
was considered. Also the provi-
Sions to be taken into considera-
ton in a new ordinance were
talked but as nothing could be
done with these by the Solons
themselves, no action was taken.
A second amusement tax was
brought before the Council for
its first reading. The first tax
proposed was turned down at the
last meeting because of the sec
ton in it reading 3 percent tax
on each admission instead of the
gross income of the amusement
house. The new proposed tax
holds the same provision how
ever, as it was explained by So
licitor William Hopes, that the
tax could not be levied any
other way, by law. One section
was added to the tax before
Council now. This is a provision
that it is misdemeanor, punish
able by fine, for divulging any
information on the business of
an amusement house, learned by
persons collecting the amuse-
ment tax.
During the regular business,
bills amounting to SIT, 7,863.4l were
passed. The largest of these was
$16,429.95 from the G. H. Leach
Co. for work finished on the
sewer projects now under con-
struction in Marysville.
Mayor Wiiiiam Asman was
present and presided over the
entire meeting. Also present
were Clerk George Scheiderer,
Solicitor Hopes and Couneilmen
Dale Overly, F. G. Bittikofer,
c. P. Wagner, and G. L. Kings
more.

NEW COUNTY ENGINEER ASSUMES JOB
NOV. l;PLEASED WITH AIDESHE HAS HERE

N. w. Llewellyn was appointed
county engineer by the County
Commissioners, effective Nov. |
20 complete The unexpired term
of Claude Skidmore.
He is a graduate of Ohio
Northern University and is Ii
censed surveyor and professional
engineer. He has served as depu-
W engineer in Marion and Della
ware counties and as bridge de-
slgner for the State Highway De-
partment at Delaware. He also
was employed as engineer by the
New York Central railroad, a,
cleveland.
He states that after coming tc
Union county that he found an
excellently organized and eff
clent working organization at the
Two county garages under II. l.
Cline and Harold Grandstaff as
road superintendents.
They completed the bitumi-
nous or black top road program
in October, and since then have
oeen hauling maintenance stone
and gravel and have been scrap
ing and dragging the macadam
roads, and getting them in shape
for winter. They have been slow
ed up to some extent because OF
inability to obtain maintenance
stone. They expect to continue
hauling stone and gravel ano
scraping as long as the weather
will permit.
Mr.. Llewellyn and his staff ex-
pect, with the cooperation of the
county commissioners and town
ship trustees, to maintain the 643
miles of roads to the best of their
ability and will strive to get the
most they can from the funds
available for this purpose.
They have about 10 county
bitches which have been granted
by the County Commissioners
which have not been surveyed or
worked upon. This is due to the
lack of help in the Engineers
office, the staff since Jan. l, con-
sisting of only one man, Joe p.
Morse, with part time help from
Elmer Draper.

CROPS ARE HARD
sON OHIO'S SOILS

Cultivated crops take an inn
mediate toll of nitrogen, phos-
Sphorus, and potash from Ohio
soils and they also levy a Second
tax which may 60 sunnoticed for
q period but may cost more in
the long run than the first, de-
clares J. A. Slipher, extension
conservationist, Ohio State Uni
versity.
The second tax is the removal
Isof organic matter from the soil,
Mr. Slipher explains He reports
that some of the better Ohio
soils originally contained up to
II tons of organic matter per
acre but system of continuous
.corn cropping over period of
80 years viii reduce the organic
| matter supply to 6.4 tons per
acre.
Most Ohio farmers do not grow
corn continuously on the same
grotnd, but organic matter is
gradually lost even when some
of the better crop rotations are
practiced. Use of manure to re-
place organic matter is recon-
! mended, but ton of manure per
acre puts only about 500 pounds
of organic matter in the soil.
Mr.. Slipher points to rich
prairie soils as examples of how
soils become filled with organic
matter. He says a good growth
of bluestem prairie grass pro-
duces plant growth weighing
27000 pounds per acre. When
such crops decay annually over
periods of centuries, the soil be-
meath them becomes very fertile.
One of the greatest values of
organic matter is its ability to
improve the soil structure 50 air
Nand water can permeate the soil
easily. Ohio corn crops frequent
ly lack water in the growing
season because rains run OFF the
ground surface and do not re-
plenish the soil supply
One cultivated crop takes from
the soil from 1000 to 10000 lbs.
of organic matter. The roots left
in soil by alfalfa will weigh
about $500 pounds, and sweet
clover roots deposit 4,500 pounds
of organic material. Timothy
leaves 4,8OO pounds of roots in
the soil, but does not add nitro
gen as the legumes do.

OF common Pleas Judge Richard
l.. Cameron who declined the
case because of the parties in
volVed.
The hearing began at $50 a. m
and lasted for approximately two
hours. Although the Tuesday
court session was only on the
village injunction case against
the Trenor brothers, the Courts
decision will also apply in the
Villages injunction suit against
Mr.. and Mrs. George Fonda Cook
Solicitor William S. Hoopea
opened the case stating that the
Village wished to stop the build
ing planned by the Trenor
brothers as it is in the residential
district and would cause a great
loss in the values of the land and
houses surrounding, as we'll as
presenting very unpleasant
sight to be situated beside a
home. He also asked the Court
to rule on the legality of the
present city zoning ordinance.
Clarence A. Hopes, attorney
for the defense, stated that the
zoning ordinance could not be
legal because it was not drawn
up according to the statutes of
the State of Ohio. He also con-
tended that the ordinance was
not constitutional in that, it gave
the village Council arbitrary and
unjust rights to decide if build
ing should be allowed to be
built, or what is called spot zon-
ing".

plaintiff, Luther Liggett Jr., who
