appointed to permanent status
this week.
James E. Brake, "a, is now the
postmaster at Milford after serv-
ing little more than a year as
acting postmaster. Mr.. Brake is a
veteran of World War II and has
lived most of his life in the Mil
ford Center area. When he be-
came acting postmaster a year
ago he succeeded Charles Boyer
who has served in that capacity

permanent postmaster in Milford
was Ralph Connolly, now rural
mail carrier out of that village.
Donald Wilson of Ostrander
was also appointed permanent
postmaster at Ostrander. He was
the fifth postmaster in three years
in that village. Prior to his ap-
pointment he had served as act
ing postmaster for two years.
Wilson, disabled war veteran
received the highest grade among
the five applicants for the job.

State Man Says
Our Pool Cleanest

People of Marysville and Union
County may feel proud of the re4
port on their swimming pool rel
turned from the State Health De-
partment. Twice weekly an in
spector takes samples of the pool
water for tests and files his re-
port on the purity of the water.
After the last test the state in
spector told Frank w. Galloway,
manager of the pool, that the
Marysville pool had the purest
water of any in the state. This
speaks in itself for the effort put
into the pool care and manage
ment by Mr.. Galloway and all
those connected with it.

Hated to see those two large
. beautiful elm trees cut down in
the Junior High School lawn, a.
bout a month ago.
There were lot of dead bran
ches in them, and every heavy
windstorm brought down a few OF
them. The Board must have con-
sidered the trees dangerous OF
they wouldn't have authorized
their destruction.
But, from looking at them as
one walked past, the trunks OF
both trees appeared perfectly
solid, as did the larger limbs. Per-
haps prudent pruning would have
been sufficient for the job, and
provided all the protection nee
essary for the children in case
of falling limbs.
It's only years job to grow q
lawn, but it takes God hundred
years or more to make tree like
some of Marysville's beauties.

most of us that the stores selling

no exception, Forrest Burnside

to those outside, and lots of
people have been taking advant-
