"the smooth and congenial way
those in charge manage the Cent

probation" Mrs. Edwards, presi'
dent of the Center stated. "How,
ever, the boys and girls have
shown such a fine spirit of CO
operation and have governed
themselves so well that, to-date
not one single discipline prob
lem has presented itself. This il
most unusual where youth cent
ers are concerned and the boy
and girls as well as their parents
may be proud of this record"
The next, and final dance
of the youth center for the sum
mer will be held, Wednesday
Aug. II. The Center will Close
Aug. 20 to permit the gym t
be put in readiness for school
This Wednesday another FREE
movie will be shown. An Abbot

around 20 cents a bushel below
the loan rate. In the period of
heavy market movement of win
ter wheat last month, prices
dropped as much as 35 cents a
bushel below the support rate.
The low point last year was about
18 cents under the loan.
The price of spring wheat, on
the other hand, is still above loan
rates for that class, largely be-
cause new crop supplies are not
yet available in any quantity.

The attorney said, pursuant to
the same order, Ohio Midland had
regained control of its billiards
division last May l. This property
had been sold to the Union Rural
Electric Cooperative, Inc, with
headquarters at Marysville.
The commission ruled last Feb
ruary on a complaint filed by the
villages of Canal Winchester,

These communities objected
to cooperative ownership of
the utility property on the
grounds they had no recourse
against any rate which the CO.
operatives might set.

If you have size 65 waist, and
aren't afraid to admit it, there's
a free pair of overalls waiting for
you at Weiss Brothers Depart
ment Store.
If you do meet the qualifica-
ton, you might as well admit
anyhow; after all, you can't hide
a thing like that very easily.
Here's the pitch:
On display in the Weiss Bros.
window is a pair of ''king-size"
Casey Jones over -alls, size Tx
36, with 65-inch waist. A sign
on them proclaims. they will be
given free to the man or woman
who can wear them.
The huge oVeralls appear to
have in them about two yards
less material than circus tent.
You'd have to see 'em to believe
'em.
BY way of contrast, the window
display also includes a pair of
display also overalls of identical
pattern. The contrast, it might
be added, is startling!
Wonder whatever happened
to the way mothers used to
call their children. a couple of
decades back. ~i
Used to be that most mothers
had pet whistles. or other dis
tinctive sounds which they
used to summon their kids.
When the signal sounded. Jun
ior knew it was meant for him
and-usually-- came a-runnin'
Today. Mother just sticks
her head out the nearest door or
window and hollers her kids
names.
One neighborhood had the
thing down to a science. a few
years back. Each household
owned whistle of the type
basketball referees use. and the
parents worked out a code sYs-
em-so many longs and so
many short blasts for each diff
ferent family.
It's a queer place to raise a gar
den, but there it was, last week,
for all passers-by to plainly see:
A stalk of corn, growing just
as proud as you please, right out
of the eaveszspout on Wilder
Rogers home in Edgewood.
At least, it won't be very far
to go for roasting ears, if the
stalk ever bears fruit. But then,
it might be easier to go to one of
the stores than crawl unp a lad
der.
Election itself is still three
months away. but with filing
deadline this Wednesday. some
interest is being shown. but
not enough.
People are inclined to COM
pletelY ignore these off-Year
elections. or shrug them off
with the thought. "Oh. well.
it's only school board and town
ship or village offices we're vot-
ing on. Hardly enough to get
excited about"
But here's something to be
thinking about between now
and next November. when you
90 to the polls:
Those insignificant" local Of
ficials will spend more of YOUR
tax money than any other
officials you vote on. That's
right; schools alone in Union
County cost well over a half
million dollars yearly.
Maybe it would be to your
advantage to>help choose, with
care. the kind of men and wom-
en- YOU want to handle that
much responsibility.

IS Union Members
Injured in Fight at
Kansas City Meeting
Nv the Associoied Press

KANSAS CITY, July 20.-A me-
lee broke up a turbulent labor
union meeting last night at which
Representative Leonard Irving,
Democrat, of Missouri, was at
tempting to discuss the unions
financial affairs.
Some union members have
charged Mr.. Irving, its president
and business agent, and other OF
ficials misused the organizations
funds.
Fifteen to 20 members were in
jured in the fight.
Police were called to the union
headquarters to stop the melee.
Approximately 500 members OF the
Hod Carriers, Building and Com
mon Laborers' Union of America,
AFL. attended the meeting.
Mr.. Irving, who represents
President Truman's home district,
said the fight started shortly after
he ruled a motion out Of order
No Vacancy Exists.
The motion was made nominat-
ing Theodore Baldwin, an Irving
opponent, for assistant business
agent. Mr.. Irving said he ruled
the motion out of order because
no vacancy exists for the position.
Mr.. Baldwin. a Negro, initiated
a suit in Circuit Court last Sat-
urday against Mr.. Irving and
other union officials for an &C
counting of union funds.
1T was hot and the men had
hacked the hall so tightly that it
was sitting" Mr.. Irving said.
"Tempers were on edge and it was
evident from the beginning that
several agitators in the hall were
spelling for a fight.
T was going to tell the members
that when I took over as business
agent in 1910 the union was in
debt s700 and its net worth now
is s204, ,665.50.
Chairs and Knives Used.
T apparently didn't do a very
good job of stealing, like they
accuse me, if the union is worth
more than 100000"
The union, Local 264, has 1900
members.
Folding chairs, knives and fists
were used in the fight. Several
men were knocked through win
dows. Most of the injuries were
not serious.
After the fight started in the
second floor hall, the men swarmed
down the stairs and continued
fighting on the lawn until police
arrived.
Mr.. Irving was not involved in
any of the violence. He planned
to return to Washington today.
Union members were required to
give a password before entering
last nights session.
The password: "Discretion."
