tourist advertising program IN
national magazines" Governor
Wallgren added, ''but the legis-
lature has appropriated only for
1947-nothing for 1948. Provision
for adequate funds for national
advertising should be a first or
der of business at the next legis-

Patrick, who is seeing for HIM
self the state which his pubica-

toms advertising has attracted
wide attention.
"The rest Of the nation Is for
the first time aware of the amaz-

state" he said.
The national advertising for the
state of Washington has produced
more than 10000 Inquiries this
year according to Art Carton, Dr.
rector of the Department Of Con-
servation and Development. Gar
ton declared that both tourist ira
vel and tourist spending in the

September issue. The magazines
front cover, 80 pages of text, a
special two page color map and
nearly 100 photographs, IS in col
or, are devoted to a graphic pre-
sentation Of Washington's scenery,
cities and people.
: Months were spent by Holiday
field men in preparation Of the
material used in the article which
Is factua1 and accurate throughout.
Cooperating with Holiday in the
gathering of data, photographs,
and other material was the De-
partment Of Conservation and De
velopment which administers the
states advertising.
The lead article was written by
Nard Jones, well known Washing
ton-bofn novelist. All sections Of
the state are covered and the ar
ucle traces the historical and Gull
tural development of Washington
through the past 80 years. In adj
dition separate treatment Is given

Because Of Holidays prestige
and large circulation the Wash

Washington as a mecca for tour
lists is a distinct compliment to
the state and fits into the states
program of tourist advertising in

Dear Journal:
Arrived at Oakland, Calf, on

800 miles per hour. Cost $119.60
from Chicago, including meals on

My son, Earle. met me at the
airport at San Francisco. We rode
in his Packard sedan to Oakland

miles long. It is the largest bridge

st. James congregation was
organized on Trinity Sunday, l047
by the Rev. Ernest, pastor of st.
Johns church of near Marysville.
It consisted of nine families. For
one year, services were held at
the home of one of the members.
The next year a log cabin church
was built, which served the con-
gregation about rs years.
Having outgrown the log cabin
structure, the present brick build
ing was dedicated in 1872. Twelve
pastors have served the congre-
CATION during the 100 years. The
present pastor is the Rev. Earl c..
Grugel. The other two surviving
pastors are the Rev. Theo. Wen
del, of Du Bois, Ind, and Pastor
Paul F. Pennekamp, of Columbus,

ary of the Ohio Federation.

dollars. The Golden Gate bridge
at San Francisco, where Earle
was chief inspector for over five
years, cost 70 million dollars and
is 41s miles long. They charge a
toll of 25 cents for crossing the
bridges, which keeps them up.
They are continually painting and
repairing these bridges. The
Golden Gate bridge is supported
by five counties in California
and the Oakland Bay bridge is
owned by the state of California,
Both bridges will be paid out in
few years by the toll charges,
Earle says.

FUTURE MHS FOES
WEEKEND SCORES

Marysville's future opponents,
for the most part, did "all right
for themselves in last Friday
nights games. The results were
as follows:
REDWOOD, 20; MECHANICS
BURG, 6. At the end of the first
half, it was Redwood, 20; Mech
anicsburg, 0. according to reports
received on the game. Redwood
second and third stringers played
most of the second half. MaryS-
vile, who beat Mechanicsburg IL
0 week ago plays Redwood this
coming Friday night, at Redwood,
in the first Mid-State League
game of the season for each team
CIRCLEVILLE, 18; WESTER-
WILLIE, IS. Marysville will paly
Westerville here in the final
game of the season. And incident
ally, the papers erred week ago
when it was reported that West
jefferson had beaten WeSterville,
1870. The score was right, but
they had the wrong team winning.
GREENFIELD M LAIN, 81;
LONDON, 0. OR, GREENFIELD
McLAIN, 81; LONDON,12, The
score depends upon whether you
read the Columbus Dispatch or
the Citizen. The former had Lon
don losing by 81 points, the Citi-
zen, by only 8 points. At any rate,
Marysville plays at London in
about three weeks.
MT. GILEAD, 7; DANVILLE, 6.
Mt. Gilead, another Mid-State
League opponent, gained its first
victory of the season at Danville's
expense. Marysville plays at Mt.
Gilead this season.
MARION ST. MARY, 10;
CAREY, Z. Both Mid-State Lea
que opponents who play here this
season, and both plenty tough.
Everyone knew Marion would be
good-they were tough last sea-
son and lost only one boy by
graduation. But Carey, newcomer
to the League this year, is also
highly regarded and st. Mary's
victory Friday stamps the Irish
as a mighty tough customer.

ENROLMENT GAINS
TOTO PRESENT new
SCHOOL PROBLEMS
OEA Head Predicts
SO Percent Increase
Six Years From Now

2 Union county school enroll
, ment will zoom to an all time
high during the next decade,
Thomas G. O'Keefe, Ohio Edu-
cation Association research di-
rector predicted this week.
A quick glance at the number
of live births in the county for
the past six years, compared with
the low rate in 1888 and the all
ytime high recorded last year, will
convince anyone that the demand
for teachers, school buildings,
textbooks and equipment will
continue unabated for at least
10 years, he stated.
Six years hence there will be as
many pupils in the elementary
grades-from one to eight--as
there are now in the combined IL
grades, including high school and
elementary.
High school enrolment, on the
basis of state averages, will be
expected to decline steadily until
the 1950-'51 school year, when
the trend will reverse and the
enrolment will increase some
what above present high school
membership.
!. More elementary school teach
ers will be needed, O'Keefe, in an
article to be published in the
October issue of Ohio Schools,
conservatively predicts that at
least $4,000 new positions will be
.open in the state in the next de-
cade. Some 4605 prospective
teachers must be recruited from
among present high school senior
classes.
The "war babies" entering
school between now and 1853 will
create many new problems for
which local boards of education
will have to make long-range
plans, O'Keefe said.
Not only will local boards of
education be hard put to find an
adequate supply of teachers, but
they will more than likely have
to expand, or build new and larg-
er, school buildings.
The enrolment study was not
carried beyond the 1953-'54 year
when 1,335,OOO pupils, or 250,000
more than at present, are expect
ed to attend Ohio schools, be
cause / doubt that even the stork
knows what Ohio's future birth
Arate trend will be-" O'Keefe said.
State officials expect this years
birth rate to be considerably
higher than last years 1t is esti-
mated that between $4,000 and
100000 live babies will be born
this year, compared to last years
record 169,645.

mately $139,000.
Solicitor William S. Hopes was
instructed to draw up an ordin-
ance covering the sewer con-
tract, to be presented at the next
meeting of Council.
Cook Wants to Move
Fonda Cook, owner of Rockies
Korners, appeared before the
Council to ask permission to move
his place of business to a two
acre plot, west of the Gilbert
Keirns residence on the Belle
fontaine rd. Under a Village or
dinance, no business establish
ment can be opened up in resi-
dental district. Council has given
permission to several others,
however, on the provision that.
none of the neighbors objected.
This same plan was presented to
Mr.. Cook.
1t was suggested, by Council
man G. P. Wagner, that the Viii
age adopt an amusement tax to
take the place of the Federal am
usement tax that expires, Oct. !.
The solicitor was instructed to
draw up a tentative ordinance, to
be presented at the next meet
ing of Council.
Surfacing of w. Thidr st. was
also considered. An estimate,
drawn up by Claude Skidmote.
was presented, but nothing def
mite was decided. The plan was
tabled, pending action of the
street committee to formulate a
policy for putting in streets. The
Policy has been, on some occa-
tions, for the Village to pay half
of the costs. The new policy may
be for the land owners to bear the
whole expense. Estimated cost
for grading, surfacing, etc. of w.
Third ST., was $4,000.
Plan New Subdivision
An ordinance was placed on its
first reading for subdivision of
the Yarrington-Davis addition at
northwest corner of Mulberry and
Sixth SITS. The plat is drawn for
IL lots approximately so by 100
feet, with four facing out on

to run parallel to Sixth St.
Solicitor Hopes reported that
he had received word from the
Columbus smoke expert and he
thought would be able TO come
and look into the NeStleS smoke
problem, in the very near future.
The Solicitor also presented a re.
solution from the Standard Freight
Lines, Inc. for payment of
$25 for tree in front of the Will
lam Casper resident on E. Fifth

ment was accepted by the Solons.
