Milk Tonk Truck
Wrecked; Driver
Escapes with Scratch

A large semi-milk truck was
badly damaged and the driver
slightly injured at 9 p. m. Monday
when it hit a bridge about two
miles north of town on Route 4.
The driver, Charles c. Lowe,
of Crestline, said that he got
too close to the side of the con-
crete bridge and the rear duals
hooked. They tore loose and the
truck went out of control and
rolled over in the ditch. 1t was
carrying $1,000 pounds of milk,
little of which was lost, as only
a few small leaks were made in
the tank.
Mr.. Lowe received a cut under
his right arm and was treated by
DR.. H. E. Stricken.
Oscar Knots, Of MarySville,
who was following the truck,
ran over the wheel rim that
was broken off and damaged his
1884 Chevrolet slightly.

Concert Monday
Is Real Success

1t was a real privilege to be
among the large crowd seated
in the High School auditorium
Monday evening and hear Miss
Mildred Dilling, harpist, present
a wonderful program of fine
music. Much, but not too much,
has been said of Miss billings
ability with her choesn inStru-
ment, for she demonstrated be-
yond doubt that she rates among
the best in harpists.
Included in her program were
some of the most difficult compo-
SitionS written for the harp, by
French, Russian and German
composers, all of which were
executed with swift, pleasing
grace, and marvellous skill.
To vary the program a bit, at
the beginning of part two, Miss
Dilling gave an informative and
cleverly amusing history of the
harp, the earliest known musical
instrument, and exhibited a few
small types, which she can con-
veniently carry with her on con-
cert tours.
Adding to her accomplishments
are d most pleasing personality,
and d heart warming smile, to
each applause. Miss Dilling made
fine stage appearance, wearing
beautiful Paris creation of pale
pink satin, heavily embellished
in rhineStoneS, and a length OF
sheer yelling over her shoulder
Following the scheduled pro-
gram, and after repeated curtain
calls, the lady responded with
three well known and loved en-
cores: her own arrangement OF
''The Blue Danube WaltzeS"
"Old Fashioned Music Box, and
Believe Me If All Those Endear-
ing Young Charms. In response
to her gracious invitation, many
went up on the stage following
the concert, to greet Miss Dilling
in person, inspect her beautiful
golden harp, and ask questions
The artist obligingly answered
them all, and autographed scores
of programs.

four wins in as many starts,
should win over the Wildcats.
Redwood holds a 50-39 win over
them earlier in the season. But
Plain City, also rated inferior to
the locals, almost pulled an up
set Tuesday so the Monarchs can
not take this or any other, con-
test lightly.
Watkins takes on New Cally
in what rates as a toss-up. The
winner will move out of the
league cellar, at least tempor-
arily.
Broadway should emerge vic
torious in their trip to Darby.
The Taylor Township team is also
unbeaten in four starts this year.
Magnetic takes on Union in the
Rosedale gym. The Resorters
have an unblemished record and
Union has looked very ragged at
times this year. Magnetic should
take its eighth win without much
trouble
York takes on Byhalia in the

game. York should add another

Aid TO Education,
Phone Service
Many Resolutions
Adopted During 3lst
Annual State Meet

The Ohio Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton in 1850 will move to inn
prove rural schools and will seek
aid for rural telephone service.
Delegates to the 3lSt annual
meeting of the Ohio farm organ
ization, meeting in Columbus,
Nov. $3.50, set their membership
goal in 1850 at $4,000 and adopt
ed many resolutions that viii
form Farm Bureau policy for the
coming year.
Official delegates from Union
County were Harold Bishop, Of
Milford Center, Lee Dewitt, Ma
rysville and M. o. Kennedy, of
Marysville.
On federal aid to education,
Farm Bureau delegates wrote a
resolution: I'VE favor Federal aid
to education on a grant-in-aid
basis without Federal control"
Rate Base Change
Concerning rural telephone
service, a resolution was adopt
ed, stating: Whereas state legis-
lation has been enacted that
should result in improved rural
telephone service, we pledge
every effort to cooperate with
rural communities and telephone
companies to the end that bet
ter communication standards can
be achieved"
On utility rates, a resolution
reads: I'VE recommend that a
study be made as to the advis-
ability of legislation whereby the
base for determining utility rates
would be changed from repro
duction costs to original costs,
since Ohio is the only state which
bases its utility rates on repro
duction costs"
Farm programs were spotlight
ed in the l949 meeting, with many
nationally known speakers giving
their views on the subject. In a
resolution, delegates commended
the 81st Congress for passage of
the Anderson Farm Bill.

Veterans Clinic
Attended by 400

More than 400 veterans were
present at the Veterans Clinic
held in Marysville High School
auditorium Wednesday night.
Veterans Administration Of
ficials who conducted the clinic
were very pleased with the turn
out which represented about 40
per cent of the county's veterans.
They told Mr.. Rausch this is the
largest percentage to attend any
of the five meetings they have
held in the state so far.
MANY veterans had their at
tention called to benefits that
they did not know were coming
to them, and numerous points of
the veterans program which are
rather vague were made clear" "
Gene Rausch, chairman of the
Legion sponsored event said.
Ten men from the V. A. were
present to answer the questions
asked by the greatly-interested
audience. The entire clinic lasted
approximately four hours.
Questions on almost every
phase of the veterans program
were brought into the spotlight
by the questions of those present.
Special guest at the clinic was
Robert Smith, state service Of
ficer for the American Legion in
Ohio.

Highway Crews
Ready for Winter

AS the first snow flurrles fall
upon Ohio, the State Highway
Department is ready to keep the
roads clear for traffic.
During the past month, Dl-
rector of Highways, T. j. Kauer
ordered d complete check made OF
all snow-removal equipment and
abrasive supplies. Mobile equip
ment was sent out on "dry-runs'
to determine best routes to traV-
ell in order to clear roads more
quickly and efficiently.
A complete examination was
made of each of the 1893 pieces
of equipment which is used by
the Highway Department IN the
snow clearance of some $4,000
miles of highways. This equip
ment includes snow-plows, Gin
der-Spreaders, bulldozers and
trucks equipped with hydraulic
plows. The checking of this e.
quipment included windshield
wipers, brakes, heaters, batter
les and tires. The parts actually
used in removing snow were CIV

and requirements being made inn

Throughout Ohio, there are
some 352 outposts where men and
equipment are stationed on a "a

of a heavy snow.

He added that the cards having
two cent stamps are third class

a suggestion Mr.. Doellinger said
that if a three cent stamp is
placed on a letter or card it will
go first class and will be either
delivered or returned to the
sender if the person on the ad-
dress cannot possibly be located.

Goal Here S2404

Drive TO raise S2,404 for the
new, re-activated United Service
Organizations was launched this
week in Union County. County
chairman of the drive is Eugene
Rausch, who is associated with
the City Loan Co.
The money to be raised will be
used to finance the worldwide
services of the USO, which were
so welcomed by millions of SER
vice men during the war. The IN
ion County total of $2,404 is a
portion of more than $500, 900
sought by the USO throughout
Ohio.
At the present time, approXi-
mately 164 men are in the SER
vices from Union County. In all,
there are 10000 men from the
state now serving in all parts of
the world. Figures supplied by the
Secretary of Defence Office show
that more than go per cent of
these service men are under 81.
1t is the very young average
age of today's service man that
has brought the recognition and
support of the armed forces to
the USO's marvellous work at the
camps and veterans hospitals.
Church and educational leaders
of every denomination have join
ed with the government offices in
prising and supporting the USO
in its current series of fund cam
paigns in all parts of the country.
