SAVE U.N.' PLEA
OF LIONS SPEAKER
State Commerce Director
Here Tuesday Evening

Making the United Nations eff
fective is far less dangerous than
living in a world without it,,
Fred j. Milligan, state commerce
director, said Tuesday night in
speech before the Marysville
Lions club at Buffers Grill.
Milligan, a member of Cover
nor Herbert's cabinet, said the
present international situation
parallels the national problem
faced by the original Is states in
1887.
''Then the problem was to
think nationally, not locally, about
the United States.
To-day our problem is to think
internationally, not nationally,
about the United Nations" he
said.
Milligan pointed out that all of
the arguments used in 1887 against
the constitution of the United
States are now being used against
the United Nations.
''The difference is that in 1877
the Washingtons, the ,fadisons,
the Franklins and the hamiltons
had the vision and the courage to
recognize the inadequacy of the
Confederation and demanded that
new national government with
power to act be attempted, no
matter what the consequences.
To-day, the philosophy of peace
must supplant the philosophy of
war and the United Nations is the
last great hope of enforcing it.
The United States must assume
the leadership in making the
United Nations work. By-passing
the United Nations is a tragic
blunder. We need only look to
the events which produced the
government of the United States,
follow the same course today as
to the United Nations, and we will
achieve world peace and secur-
ity," Milligan concluded.

(From the Marion Star)

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. r. McKeever
of Raymond, Union county, were
sadly flying back to Florida to-
day CTuesday) after returning
home from Lakeland, Fla, at 6
p. m. Monday night. A three day
search by police and highway
patrolmen of seven states failed
to find them to tell them of the
death of their son, Harold Nc
Keever, 35, of Marion who was
killed while spectator at the 100
mile national championship novice
motorcycle race at Daytona Beach
Fla, Saturday afternoon.
L. r. McKeever, his wife, and
a daughter, Mrs. Norma Rosterfer
of Ridgeway were enroute from
Lakeland, Fla, their winter home,
when the accident, which claimed
their sons life, occurred. They had
departed from Lakeland early
last Friday morning, and as far
as can be determined from friends
and relatives, had no knowledge
that their son and his wife were
in Florida. Following the death of
Harold McKeever and the serious
injury of his wife, efforts were
made through all state police and
highway patrol authorities of
states through which the Nc
Keevers might pass on their trip
north, to inform them of the
tragedy SO they might return to
Daytona Beach. All of these eff
forts failed.
Read of Accident
The stricken parents returned
to the family home in Raymond
unaware of the tragedy and re-
ceived the first knowledge of
their loss when they read a copy
of The Star Last Monday night.
Upon seeing the front page story
of the fatal accident which killed
their son and seriously injured
their daughter-in-law, Margaret
McKeever, 35, of Marion they
thought perhaps the story was of
another family of the same name
and at $3.50 p. m. Monday called
relative Mrs. Wilbur Harruff
by phone. She was staying at the

BdlrnY Days Ahead,
And Boy, oh Boy
The DoY-Dreoms Fly

Ho Hum--O boy, do feel like
doing nothing!
Spring fever has really hit the
good people of Union county,
leaving even the most industrious
worker ay-dreaming of the won
derful days ahead.
For some, the dreams include a
grass-covered b ank along a
stream with a fishing line lazily
drifting to and fro, while for
others it may be hiking in the
country or merely puttering a
round in a flower or vegetable
garden. But to be sure, everyone,
in some way has cantacted what
ever it is that brings on spring
fever.
According to Weatherman Rus
sell S. Banks, the temperature
this past week which have helped
the uncomfortable epidemic, are
as follows.

Watch for Kids
Sheriff Pleads os
Spring Approaches
Watch out for Kids!"

Watch out for Kids!"
That was the suggestion to
motorists, given by Sheriff H. S.
Roosa today. He said that the
number of children who are hurt
in traffic always begins to climb
in March, and he hoped that mo-
torists in the county would be
particularly alert for youngsters
this spring.
The records Of the Ohio State
Safety Council show that so per-
cent of Ohio's fatal motor acci-
dents occur in rural areas. The
motorist has an obligation to
drive his vehicle so that no one
is hurt. This is especially true
when il comes to children, who
are not likely to be so aware of
hazards.
Kids are irresponsible, and
don't think of traffic when they
are playing" the Sheriff went on,
80 it is up to the motorist to be
extra cautious for them" Nearly
everyone reduces his speed some
when approaching a school zone,
but not everyone is thoughtful
enough to slow down bit when
passing a group of children along
the road or playing in q yard.
Drivers must stop whenever
they approach a school bus from
any direction, when it is loading
or unloading passengers. 1t makes
no difference whether the kids
must cross the road or not, you
must stop and remain stopped un-
til the school bus starts UP. It
