police and the Sheriff's office.

occurred at the Milford Center

u. S. Aid A Approved
For Hospital Here
Final Phase OF
Project Should Be
Under Way Soon
Revised Plans Are
Somewhat Smaller But
Still Adequate for Needs

The Union County Hospital
Board has been advised by DR..
Porterfield, state director of
health, that the preliminary ap-
plication for federal aid to the
hospital project has been ap-
proved by the Surgeon General.
This is good news to those in
terested in the Union County
Hospital. 1t does not mean that
construction can begin right
away, but barring any unforeseen
contingency, the final phase of
the project should be underway
very soon.
The board and architects have
agreed on revised building plans.
While it has been necessary to
reduce the size as originally
planned, it is felt that the num-
Der of beds will be adequate for
quite few years. The adjunct
facilities such as operating and
delivery rooms are sized 10 take
care of the local needs into the
indefinite future.
The revised plans are being
submitted to the State Depart
ment of Health this week. After
approval by DR.. A. ]. Borowski,
chief of hospital facilities for
Ohio, the plans will be forwarded
to the Surgeon Generals office for
final approval.
The estimated total cost of the
project is S540,000. Federal par
ticipation may be to the extent
of Sl80,000 leaving S36O,O0O as
the local share of this amount.
About Sl25,000 is available from
the bond issue and approximately
100000 has already be contribu-
ted by various citizens of the
county. The balance on outstand-
ing pledges is sufficient to cover
the difference and every effort
will be made to collect these
balances before the end of the
year,
The actual cash for the local
share must be on hand before
federal monies are made avail
able. Therefore, those owing on
their pledges are asked to pay as
soon as possible. Every dollar of
such monies is actually worth a
dollar and half toward the hos
pital.

y ceived of three small sewer pro-
jects, work of the American
Legion Emergency Squad was

who have moved from Marysville
to farms near here.
Coucilman Dale Overly gave
a complaint from Clair Thompson
of Buckeye ST., that water has
been backing up in his base
ment. 1t was Mr.. Overly's be-
lief that tree roots have broken
the tile, thus preventing prop
er drainage.
The council has received four
bids on three small sewer pro-
jects, to be completed this fall,
if possible. They were: Boam

Three members of the Am
erican Legion Emergency squad
were present. Robert Gordon,
head of the squad brought up
the matter of the lack of auth
ority on the part Of the squad
members to enforce orders at
fires and emergencies.
Fire Chief H. r. Asman de-
Tended the squad and it was de-
cided to continue the squad and
its activities. "Citizens must un-
derstand the fact that the squad
members must be obeyed at
fires or face the possibility of
having warrant served against
them," Chief Asman declared.
The sewer problem of DR..
John Craig, Grand avenue, was
brought up for action. A bid of
$500 has been received from
Roscoe Connolly, to install a
drainage tile and construct two
inlets from the abandoned al
ley to Grand Avenue and along
Grand Ave. to the culvert under
the road. Councilman Wagner
moved that they 60 ahead with
the job. Mr.. Overly seconded.
The motion was carried with w.
r. Huffman as the only dissent
ing vote.
The office of Floyd G.. Brown
& associates, at Marion, is to de-
eide who will benifit most from
the Improvement and share the
largest amount of the expense.
The matter of the water from
the downspouts on the City
Building and c. B. Haggard's
property that adjoins it was
taken care of. The water has
been going into the sanitary
sewer and backing UP in the
City Building basement. The
City's share of the cost of tile
and labor to remedy this matter
is $87. 1t was decided to carry out
this project.
The bills were presented by
Dale Overly, chairman of the
finance comittee and ordered

Many women mistakenly think
foot comfort means wearing q shoe
that "she hardly knows is on her
foot" The gal who does her house
work in an old pair of rundown
bedroom slippers is an example of
too much Of a good thing. At the
other extreme is the woman who
buys shoes half a size too small
because they "fiatter" the foot!
In choosing your shoes. ask your.
self: Are they for homework and
shopping? for going out? for casual
street wear? or what? Any woman
can use at least three basic types of
shoes, and she doesn't have to be
an heiress to do it-for frequent
changing of shoes is more economi-
cal in the long run.
Next come materials: leather up.
pers that will not hamper the toes
and will fiex as the foot moves, and
leather soles to cushion the foot in
all its movements, and preserve the
original lines of the shoe as it grows
older.
Third. the right fit: Insist upon
measuring both feet in standing
position and fitting the larger OF
them; carefully test length and
width, allow plenty of toe room in
the forepart of the shoe.
If these three factors are taken
into account, comfort is the inevita.
BILE result-without a sacrifice OF
style and smartness. The wisest wo.
man is the one who knows that a
truly smart and chic appearance
can come only when feet are feeling
fine.

a shell--a shoe that is closed all
around. Offering the firmest possible
support, but somehow leaving the

The upper barely rims the foot; the

comfortably by a flexible leather
sole. A 1.-THE look is achieved via
tapered toes, simpler lines, longer

This style is really new, not a re-
version to the Clara Bow era.
There's designers achievement in
a pointed effect without the Chinese
torture OF cramped foot. There is
an illusion OF narrowness without
resort to lasts that support feet
precariously. Above all, there is
utilization of fine materials in a
functional design: shape.retaining

been regarded as an essential part

walk is an asset worth having and
one that can be achieved with a
small amount of care.
Graceful walking is possible in
