held in Marysville this Sunday,
Elwood Russell, commander OF

day. District 11ladies auxiliaries
will also convene in Marysville
the same day.
In connection with the confer
ence, delegates will observe the
5Oth year of the founding of the

organization was started in Col
lumbus in September, 1899 by 13
Spanish American War veterans,
of whom three are expected to be
in Marysville for this Sundays
convention. 1t was then known
as Veterans of Foreign Service.
In 1914, several smaller organi-

THAT driver was only trav-

been worse if one of those cans
had exploded"
Friday morning the Fire De-
partment was called to the
apartment of Mrs. E. R. Fry
on N. Main st. on one nearly

Mrs. Fry put dinner on the
stove, then went to sleep. The
potatoes and carrots boiled
dry, then burned and filled the
apartment with smoke. Some
one saw the smoke, became
frightened and turned in a

1T was just carelessness on
the part of Mrs. Fry in going
to sleep with a blaze going in
her kitchen, that called the De-
partment out on false alarm" "

sponsor a prize for Junior Fair
sheep projects exhibited at the

the sheep committeeman a new
organization, composed of rep
resentatives of sheep groups in

to improve the conditions for
better quality and to increase the
number of Seep in Ohio.
Committees which were ap-
pointed by Mrs. Kennedy to serve
for this coming year are as foil
oWs:

Sunshine Brings
Smiles to Faces OF
Farmers in County

Farmers are beginning to
smile again" County Agent
Frank r. Greeneisen said today.
with the recent good weather,
little damage has shown up from
the heavy rains of early April" :"
Practically all of Union coun-
tvs oats have been planted and
better than a third of the corn
ground has been plowed al
ready" Mr.. Greeneisen said,
"and the farmers are beginning
to have happier outlook on this
years crops"
Most of the oats crop is about
two weeks behind time, he add
ed, but actually little damage is
believed to have been caused by
the heavy rains.
Damage to the wheat crop was
slight, although in a few low
places where the water stood for
a long time, the wheat looks bad,
Mr.. Greeneisen said.
Although the situation looked
bad at the first of the month,
farmers have taken good advan-
tage of the past weeks good
weather." the county agent as
serted.
Spring gardeners have also
taken advantage of the good
weather to work in their gardens
and plant a few early crops.
The only fear expressed by
farmers is that the rains may
stay away too long now, and
make seed termination late on
present paintings. This has some
times been found to be true when
their has been extra heavy rain
over a short period of time.

RIDERS TO RETURN
VIA MARYSVILLE

HOmeward bound, with more
interesting experiences than they
have time to tell, and several
hundred feet of color film to
back up their stories, Ned Ken
nedy and Cecil Cary, the Gross
country riders" write that they
will be passing through Marys-
vile the latter part of May.
Kennedy and Cary are the two
horseback riders who stopped
overnight in Marysville, last
December, on their way from

A recent letter received by
Cone Howard, Milford Center,
stated that the two planned to
be in Washington D. G. for two
weeks more and then would
start their journey home, stop
ping at Mary5ville on their way.
The letter stated that they
were somewhat surprised at the
ease with which they got pic
lures of the senators, president,
and other prominent men.
Mr. Kennedy also wrote that
they had four times showed their
films over their entire trip, each
show ruuIng about ia hours
lone.

Morysviife Women
Attends College with
HuroId S. SfdSSen

Watching the primary cam
paigning of Harold S. Stassen,
Republican presidential candi-
date, with especial interest is Mar.
Albert M. Johnston, w. Sixth St,
who was in school with Stassen
at the University of Minnesota.
Mrs. Johnston, although she
never knew StasSen very well on
the crowded campus of $4,000
students, said she remembered
him as being particularly inter
ested in government issues, even
then.
During the mid Twenties, Mrs.
Johnston recalled, Stassen led a
campaign to get the college stu
dents interested in government
proceedings and to take advan-
tage of their privilege to vote.
The fact that Stassen is cam
paigning in Ohio when Taft asked
him not to is typical of him and
his belief of free discussion of
public issues" Mrs. Johnston
said. "He believed then, and now,
that everyone should have the
privilege of expressing his choice
on a ballot"
AS Mrs. Johnston recalled, Stas-
sen did not take an active part
in the general college social life,
but did follow his own interests
and was a member of the Phi
Delta Gamma speech fraternity.

ONE MORE TEAM NEEDED
IN SOFTBALL LEAGUE

Marysville's softball league is
shy one team to complete it's
game schedule this year, Carl
Beightler, league secretary, stated
today. All of last years teams
with the exception of the Salter
team have returned this year, but
thus far no team has been found
to replace the Salter team,
Beightler said.
Teams in the league so far are:
Nestles, Gray Hay, Western Auto,
Legion and Rural Electric.
Any team or persons interested
in forming a team should get in
touch with Carl Beightler.
The opening games of the soft
ball season will be played on
Memorial day, on the Memorial
athletic field. Tickets for the
first round of league games are
on sale now at 81. Each round of
games includes 10 game nights

the Chief said. ut could have
had more serious results"
These three instances are
just the more unfortunate in
dividualS, Chief Asman said.
All over town, fire hazards
exist which are SIMPLY awaiting
their turn to cause serious
property loss; perhaps worse.
Rubbish piled against barns
and even homes; fields full of
dead, dry, uncut weeds which
could easily catch fire and
spread to nearby homes, un-
safe buildings piled full of
paper and trash are but a few
of the many potential fire
causes the Chief has found in
routine check-ups all over
town.
Many Warnings Issued
"A fire might easily start in
any of these places, and l
would have to say it was
caused by the worst kind of
carelessness," he declared.
Many of the property owners
have been warned several

cave where bricks between the
rafters had become dislodged.
1t was here that the sparrows
had built their nest, Mr.. As
man said.
''The simple act of replacing
those bricks would have kept
the birds out and prevented
that fire last Tuesday after
noon" he asserted.
THAT was a mean fire to get
at, and we are all thankful it
started in the daytime" Chief
Asman stated. Rock-wool in
sulation which had b e e n
placed in the attic prevented
the fire from spreading more
rapidly than it did, and thus
held down the damage.
Carried Fire with Him
The second fire last week
was in G.. H. Leach Construc-
ton Co. pickup truck which
the operator drove for two
blocks before the fire was
finally discovered at w. Sew
enth and S. Maple SITS.

How any taxpayer could vote
against it puzzles me. Here is a
project that ranks with our
schools and the community spirit
of our churches.
Need for disqualification comes
unsought, unplanned for, is
grief everyone of us breads. A
good small hospital will offer
friendly interest, a concern for
family and patient which city
institutions can't match. And for
professional skill and talent such
small hospitals attract the best.

MARION LAY-0FFS
HIT WORKERS HERE

Unemployment figures for Ma
rysville and Union county con-
tinued their high pace through
the month of March and into
April according to a report from
Frank Holycross, manager of the
local Ohio State Employment
Office.
Despite the fact that general
figures over the state of Ohio
have had a decrease in the unem-
ployment number, local unem-
ployment applications continued
at the same rate as before, in
creasing some in March over the
FEBRUARY figures.
Mr.. Holycross attributed the
large local unemployment rate tc
: layoffs of three Marion plants, the
Marion Power Shovel, Universal
Cooler and the Quaker Oats COM
pany, these layoffs probably be-
ing due to the coal shutdowns.
Comparing the first three
months of this year, in the amount
of unemployment compensation
paid out, March is high with 343
January is second with 328 and
February is third with 3l4 weeks
of unemployment compensation
paid.

times, which makes it all the
worse"
Another bad practice, and
one which Council last Thurs
day instructed Mr.. ASman to
make property owners stop,
is the burning of paper and
trash in the business district.
Buildings are too close to-
gehter in the downtown area
for this sort of thing to be
safe, the Chief told Council, in
requesting full authority to put
a stop to it.
None of us on the Depart
ment want to be unreason-
able" Mr.. Asman concluded,
"but we don't like fires. So
many of them could be pre-
vented through just a little
more caution and common
sense, and we appeal to every
property owner in MarysVille
to cooperate with us in re-
ducing the number of fires
here.
Please, let's cooperate.
Thanks for your help"

man, were present to iron out
with the Solons any possible
differences between them on the
Maple st. sewer construction.
Mr.. Leach said that the ad-
justment asked for by council
because of using the city's bricks
which he estimated at S25 would
be given if they wanted it. In
return, he said the Construction
Co. could add few costs for
extra work they had done not
called for in the contract, which
the resident engineer had re-
queSted. These extra costs he
stated would run Council con-
siderably more than the bricks.
Councilman Wagner agreed with
Mr.. Leach that this was proba-
bly, so.
Much Extra Work
Extra work requested by the
resident engineer included con-
struction of a manhole at the
Sixth and Maple st. intersection
and three extra catch basins, Mr..
Leach said He added that they
had planned to make no extra
cost unless Council felt they
wanted it.
Councilman Wagner, chairman
of sewer and drainage, read
letter from Floyd G.. Brown and
Associates engineers, of Marion,
which stated that the milk solids
in the water flowing in the new
storm sewer might do injury to
the sewer in time if nothing is
zone to prevent it. Mr.. Browne
