MONDAY, MARCH 81, 1949-
AS this is the turning point of the
year, so is it a turning point of
destiny. 1t is a critical day, and
it generally produces persons of
considerable influence. There is,
a strain of egoiSm; the mind is
trained on high things, but there
is a rigid, unbending strain that
should be watched carefully. All
the characteristics of the day are
good ones, in moderation.

Farson Home Is
Damaged by Fire

Marysville Fire Department was
called out at 6:25 p. m. Wednes-
day to combat fire that broke
out in the second floor of the
Harold Farson home at SOB S.
Maple st.
The fire was first noticed and
reported By Mrs. Russell Fluff
man, of 314 w. Ninth ST., as the
Parsons were not at home. The
Local Fire Department arrived in
time to confine the blaze mainly
to one bedroom and prevent its
developing into serious upper
story blaze.
The blaze broke through the
roof in one spot but did little
damage outside the one room
where it originated. Its cause is
still unknown, according to As
sistant Fire Chief Harold Hyland

A few months ago, officials of
the First Presbyterian Church in
stalled small flood lights on the
floor of the auditorium to shine
on the large, stained glass wind
ows of the church.
At night it makes the windows
easily seen from the streets, and
present a beautiful, inspiring sight
for passers-by. Whoever original
ed the idea came up with a good
one, and deserves to be compli
mented for it.
The three large, stained glass
windows in the Presbyterian
church auditorium are of unusual
beauty and their design is in
spirational. All three portray
some phase in the life of Christ,
and countless numbers of visitors
have remarked about them.
Before the last war, the win
dows were valued at $4,000 each
by an expert on that type of
work. The appraisal was made
after a small boy had thoughtless-
ly thrown a SNOWFALL through the
one facing Court ST., necessitating
the replacement of several of the
small, colored panes.
Several efforts have been made
to photograph the three windows
from the inside, so that there
would be some pattern to go by
in case one of them should be
seriously damaged. However, a
light chandeliere hangs from the
ceiling directly in front of each
window, and no perfect picture
, can be taken until some occasion
when the chandeliers are taken
down or can be pulled to one side,
completely out of the way.
When thinking of ice. one
naturally thinks of the North
Pole.
And so, what is more approp-
riate than those signs on Maple
st. at Fifth and Fourth, bearing
the single word ice" and
pointing due north.
Of course. it isn't necessary
to 90 quite to the North Pole to
get the ice the signs refer to;
they point to the new ice house
on N. Maple ST. just across the
Railroad tracks.

Jerome Requests
Speed Limit Zone

Petition to have speed limit
signs erected in the village of
Jerome in Jerome Township was
circulated last week and present
ed to County Engineer N. W..
Llewellyn.
The petition carries 64 sigma
lures and was drawn up to pre-
vent a recurrance of recent near
fatal accidents. In the past month
two young boys, aged and Z,
narrowly escaped death from the
speeding automobiles. One of the
boys was actually run over by a
car.
Much of the trouble arises from
the fact that many people use the
hard surface road running
through the town as a conven-
lent short cut to the Columbus
Zoo and Park at O'Shaugh-
messy Dam. The motorists seldom
reduce their speed when pass
ing through the village and pre-
sent a definite traffic problem.
The State Patrol and the
Township Constable will be asked
to help enforce the speed laws.
The petition reads as follows:
"This is petition for the pur-
pose of making the city of Jer-
ONE a slow zone for the benefit
of children and general public
and to be presented to the county
engineer of Union County with
the hopes that the Highway Pa
troll will help more"
