Since G.. w. Warner, first resi-
dent on the site of Claiborne, was
appointed the villages first post
master in 1879, the post office has
been located in the general store.
Whenever the store changed
hands, so did the post office,
This esulted in frequent
changes, with G.. w. Moore, now
85, holding the position longer
than any other. From the time he
was appointed in August, 1885
until his final retirement, Mr.
Moore's service to the community
covered a period of so years, al
though not continuously.
The first time he was named
postmaster, Mr.. Moore held the

Nothing Like
Making Oneself
Right at Home

Occupants of the Charles Nor
ris home, in Arnold, was con-
siderable surprised, to say the
least, when an aged colored man
later identified as Lee Garrett,
of Columbus, walked into their
home around midnight, Tuesday,
and made himself comfortable in
a choice chair.
Mr.. Norris called the Sheriff'S
office when Garrett refused to
leave, and Deputy Alva Moore
and officer Richard Simpson
brought him in to jail. Mr.. Gar
rett, who formerly owned a farm
near Plain City, told officers at
first he had come from Virginia,
but later said he still lived at
Plain City.
Affected by an automobile
accident he was in some time
ago, the man now resides with a
daughter in Columbus, and mem
bers of his family came here for
him Thursday. Mr.. Garrett said
he first thought of going up on
the front porch of the Norris
home, to get out of the rain, but
thought that would take too
much authority, so he just went
inside.

Mayor Warns,
Hours of Play
Be Observed

1t is easy to see that the Marys-
vile children enjoy being at the
Marysville playground, but even
so, hours must be kept. The play
ground is now open until 8 p. m.
every day which should ample
time for children to play there.
In view of property obstruction
being caused by children playing
after hours, Mayor Asman makes
the following appeal to the COM
munity:
"This is an appeal to parents
to cooperate with the playground
Committee in keeping their child
rem from the playground after
closing hours which are 8 o'clock.
There has been destruction of
property which must stop and
any child found on the playground
after hours will be dealt with
through the Probate Court.
Mayor w. F. Asman"

At the request of Probate
Judge John w. Daley, Common
Pleas Judge Fred McAllister,

sale of land on the Marysville-
Marion rd. in the Willoughby

for the approval of a contract
in the Hattie Taylor guardianship.
The first hearing will begin at

Both cases have been in the

so many transactions to handle

for an outside jurist to conduct
the hearings.

 In an early morning broadcast Ramadier pointed out that the strike had been called only five days before the holding of i'm poItant municipal elections all over France and intimated that the strikers were trying to create difficulties for the republic"
 The whole situation, he said, lis shaping up like a political intri. que"
 Ramadier's declaration recalled recent development in Italy, where followers of Premier Alcide de Gasperi accused the Communists of a wave of strikes to the government prior to debate on a no-confidence mo- ton introduced into the constituent assembly by leftwingers.
 Similar accusations have been levelled at the Communists in Chile, where the government has accused them of responsibility for a clippling l0-day-old coal mine strike.
