Boys DAY PROGRAM AT ROTARY
MEETING IS YEARS HICHLICHT

Without a doubt the best pro-
gram ever presented at local Ro-
tary club meeting was that pre-
sented Tuesday noon in st. John
Lutheran church basement by
President Roland Schaper and his
committee.
Boys Day was the feature, and
the Rotarians and church women
who served the delicious banquet
went all out to make the day a
memorable one.
Over $50 Rotarians, guests and
boys were in attendance Balloons,
paper caps and whistles were place
favors, while large stuffed baby
toys served as center pieces.
Frank Thompson, Lakeside, was
the only Rotarian who forgot to
bring a boy to the meeting, and as
a penalty he donned a white
apron and helped serve the meal.
Rotarian Curtis Kuhnle had as
his "son", popular Tom Darlison,
whom he introduced as being "95
years young.
Youngest son of a Rotarian pres
ent was Jimmy Friderici eight
week-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.

Hunts Decision
Upheld In Court

A decision by Judge William A.
Hunt, presiding in the Erie coun-
ty common pleas court, has been
upheld by the sixth Ohio district
court Of appeals.
Judge Hunt had presided in the
$4,000 wrongful death case of
George F. Icsman, Sandusky, ad-
ministrator of the estate Of Bea-
trice 1csman, who was killed in
November, 1914, when the auto
in which she was riding struck a
temporarily-stopped railroad en-
gine in that city.
Defendants were the New York
Central and New York, Chicago
and st. Louis Railway companies.
A jury in June, 1947, had returned
a verdict of $4,000 against the
defendants, after an eight-day
trial. The plaintiff contended that
defendents were negligent in not
exhibiting warning signals.
Attorneys for the railroad com
panies stated that an appeal from
the decision of the court of appeals
will be filed with the state supreme
court.

After the building is moved and
repairs completed, the councilmen
plan to rent the structure to Mil

Hershberger had offered to move
the building and repair it if he
was given five years rent gratis.
Estimate of the project cost was
$500.
Councilmen decided the city
would derive more revenue if the
cost was paid by the city, and

rental as he would derive benefit
from the use of the building anC
from ticket sales.

STATE AID SOUGHT FOR

Becker and Nielsen To Confer
With Highway Department
Officials Today

Declaring that West Perry

sought Improvement cannot be f.
nanced without state aid, Atty.
sjMoon Tuesday evening asked coun-
ell to check with the state high.
way department for its desires be-
fore taking court action to win
the right-of-way.
Moon stated that his clients
were just as interested as ever to
see the Improvement through, but
they felt that state aid is needed

be foolish to win the right of~way
fight only to have the state high
F(Tay department request another
course.
The attorney said that prelim-
mary estimates on paving cost
were $25 per abutting foot, which
would be exorbitant for property
owners without state aid. The viii
lage must also petition in COM
mon pleas court for permission to
cross the N. Y. C. spur tracks, and
court action to settle the owner

y Mayor Carl Becker told Moon
that he planned trip to Colum,

garding construction of the local
wading pools, and that he would
also go to the highway depart
ment to seek a re-survey of West
Perry street so that the right-of

quirements. Councilman Harold
Nielsen plans to accompany the

AS the project now stands, City
Solicitor George Slaughter will
not seek court action to secure

$ NAT. MATCHES
DATA AWAITED
Expect Only Small-BOre Event
After Congress Cuts
Appropriation

. While no definite information
has as yet been received by local
officials, it appears nearly positive
that the big-bore matches could
not be held at Camp Perry this
summer as planned as not enough
time remains to prepare for the
big event.
Congress failed to appropriate
the funds necessary for the big
matches, but it is thought that
there will be sufficient funds un-
p. der the. Army's appropriation to
hold the usual small-bore event
at Perry.
Plans had been made for the big
bore matches to be held here from
August 7 through September g.
If enough money is allocated for
the small-bore matches, it is ex-
pected they will be held at Camp
Perry for a week beginning Aug
ust z.
