Window Display
In McAuliffe's Store
Is Big Attraction

Attracting attention of hun
dreds of passers-by is novel ex-
hibit in the window of McAuliffe
Bros. store in S. Main st.
In it is an animated, miniature
business street and row of little
houses. Tiny figures of men and
women go in and out of the store
entrances, while a procession OF
little automobiles moves con-
stantly along the street in front
of the stores.
On one of the houses, the fig
ure of a man is busily applying q
coat of paint. Around the second
house goes another little man,
pushing lawn mower. In front
of third, a man busily nike.
cement while a partner on the
roof lays up brick chimney
Carpenters nail shingles on the
roof of another house under con-
struction, while in front of still
another are a man and women
making garden.
II is all an advertising PROPOSE
ton, of course, with ads OF
Marysville firms painted on the
cars, trucks and tractors which
ply the little street, and on the
fronts and windows of the stores
.But it is fascinating, and no one
ksoes by without stopping for a
few minutes to watch it.
Prepared by an Indianapolis
company, the exhibit is being
sponsored here by the recently
organized evening group of the
Trinity Lutheran Women's Mis-
sionary Society.

Gives Clearer Picture
Visual education in the schools
is good thing, " Mr.. Baldwin
stated. "It enables some students
to get a clearer picture of certain
studies"
Union County schools have a
motion picture circuit through
which groups of films travel from
school to school over a period of

two weeks. From six to eight
films are included in each group,
covering various age groups, Supt.
Baldwin said.
Last year II groups of films
were shown around the circuit in
cluding more than ll0 subjects.
Most of the pictures are secured
through the State Department of
Education. A few are commercial
ones put out by national manu-
features, the Supertendent added.
Local schools occasionally order
special films for their own use,
outside of the circuit.

Visual education in Union coun-
ty schools, like everywhere else,
is coming more and more to
take an important part in the
educational program.
The film industry in the past
several years, has produced many
pictures for school use. Ranging
from films for primary grades to
geography and industrial ones
for high schools, the motion pict-
ure world has entered the school
room In almost every class the
motion picture has proved an as
set to the teaching program.

THE statements made in my letter

I will make no apology for them
I told Woods that was my stand
The Clevelander assailed two
phases of the current rent control
setup.
I'VE are under orders which pre-
vent us from communicating with
any Congressman regarding rent
CONTROL" he said. II have received
such orders from my superiors and
have relayed those orders to area
rent directors and other officials in
my region. I also was forced to re-
port to my superiors that had done
so.
Under no circumstances are Fed
eral rent officials to contact Con-
gressmen on the rent program.
That prevents a citizen from ex-
pressing his right of petition guar
anteed under the United States Con-
stitution. 1t is, in my mind, uncon-
stitutional.
l. Mr.. Zetzer asserted the second
issue involved was: Does the fact
that a man has been elected to Con-
gress put him in position where
he cannot be criticized for his con-
duct?"
"A Congressman is no different
from any other Federal employe-
and his conduct should be subject
to criticism on an equal basas with
other officials" he declared.
Mr.. Zetzer has been Cleveland re-
gional rent administrator for the
last two years. He previously served
as an area rent director-attorney in
the Cleveland region.
