Rural Mail Box
Thieves Sought
Continued from Page -


Doellinger declared. "They started
in the vicinity of Magnetic
Springs, headed west through
Pharisburg, cut in southeast of
Peoria, down the Peoria rd. a
ways, and then finished up in the
Petersburg Allen Center neigh
borhood.
Their path covered parts of
four townships, and included
boxes on Routes |, 3 and 5"
Hard to Figure Reason
The five stolen boxes which
have been recovered were found
near Allen Center.
The Postmaster is at a loss to
explain the vandalism. 1T looks
to me like someone thought they
were having great sport" he de-
clared. Certainly, there is no
value to the mail boxes which
would cause their theft"
Sheriff Galloway concurred in
this opinion. 1T just doesn't
make sense to me-" he said. 'The
whole thing is so pointless. 1t
must have been the work of kids,
but still can't see why"
A new, small-size rural mail
box sells for as low as Sl.89, so
financial gain could not have
prompted the vandalism.

and laymen to direct a Methodist
campaign for building funds for
Wesley Foundations at five state
universities. The campaign direc-
tor is Rev. Virgil E. Turner, of

nomination meeting at Lakeside,
and was approved at the Ohio
conference sessions 2 weeks ago,
according to a report from United

committee. The Methodist church
sponsors Wesley Foundations as
part of the church's religious
training program.
A new S275,000 student center
is planned at Ohio State univer-
sity, and remainder of the fund is
to be used at other state schools,
100000 for Miami at Oxford;

HERE'S ONE TO REMEMBER

Last year on June 9, a l5-year
old boy in a central Ohio county
was operating the tractor. He
fell from the tractor and died
with crushed skull. Maybe this
death could have been prevented
and maybe not. We do know,
however, that many such deaths
are the result of improper oper-
alton or handling of a farm ma
chine.
We could give suggestions,
such as always keep all guards
and shields in place, never allow
children to ride along, and always
refuel when the tractor is cold;
but we all know how to safely
operate the tractor. 1t all boils
down TO this use horse sense
with horse power.

Forget Civil War
.Lausche

COLUMBUS, Feb. %. = Gov.
Frank Lausche of Ohio thinks this
is no time to revive the war be-
tween the states-even if it means
the Buckeye state stands to lose
$500, 900.
He made the suggestion regard
ing some rehabilitation bonds is
sued by the state of North Caro-
lima in the days following the
Civil War.
The Ohiot State Conservation
commission got the bonds as a
gift from a group Of Ohio sports
men. They are supposed to be
worth some 100000. But, North
Carolina has refused to recognize
that particular type of security.
In any case, Lausche wants no
part of the bonds. "A lot of peo-
pie want to forget about the Civil
War;" says Lausche.

heavyweight boxing champion Joe
Louis fears most but he feels
Charles deserves a chance at his
title and will probably meet him

Joe considers Charles to be a
good friend-as was John Henry
Lewis-one-time light heavyweight
champion, whom Joe Louis knock
ed out with n punch when they
met in 1889. Louis didn't want
to fight John Henry because he
was his friend but agreed when
newspapers said he deserved the
chance. The same goes for Ez-
card Charles, who is a top chal-
lenger for Joe's heavyweight
crown today.
Louis concludes this article by
saying: "The exhibition matches
/ have been fighting are good for
me. They keep me in trim and
my punching on edge. If / fight
Charles in June, I'll have to be in
excellent condition-and / will

Cooley, who lives at 1902 Home

the Church of God in Christ. He
met Father Divine about six years
ago and became quite impressed
withw hat, he was doing.
Cooley followed Divine around
for awhile, then returned to Day

school for the congregation and
members and to establish sleeping
quarters for $3.50 a week.
Rev. Cooley is the only one of
the three who has earned a Divine
name. He is known as Faithful"
He receives no salary, but lives as
a carpenter and on real estate.
Father Divine, as everyone
knows is the mysterious leader of
a cult of Negroes and whites
which is very powerful financial
ly. He has purchased hotels, es-
tates and homes in many restrict
ed areas in the east. He has al
ways successfully eluded the law.
For example, he can only show
up in New York on Sundays be-
cause of a court order against
him. He spends most of his time
in Philadelphia.
This affiliate in Dayton is the
latest addition to the vast Divine
empire"

CINCINNATI, Feb. %. - The
next heavyweight champion of the
word, he thinks, is in one of two
places in Cincinnati today, doing
very little of anything.
His name, depending on how
you feel, is Ezzard Charles or
Joey Maxim, the two of whom
will fight at Is rounds or less in
Cincinnati Garden tonight with a
shot at Joe Louis heavyweight
title the alleged rightful prize of
the winner.
Charles, the Cincinnati home
crowned, and Maxim, the tousle-
haired hope from Cleveland, were
to taper their training to the size
of a bare bodkin today while the
odds on the fight came together
and shook hands.
In many of C~incinnati's fan
ciest halls today, you gave 6 to 5
and took your choice. Where
Charles legion of fond bettors
had disappeared to-, this being his
home town, was anyone's guess.
"Double-Z," as Ezzard isarchly
known at times. Figures to go into
the ring at ITO pounds. Only three
less than Maxim's anticipated 1872.
This should figure as an added
edge for Charles, who has taken
on heavies 80 pounds his superior
in weight and belted 'em good.
Though nobdy wants to say
why, the odds remain even, OF
the next thing to it.
