When the directors of the Un-
ion County Fair meet Monday
for the last time this year, they
will be able to look back upon
the 1949 Fair as one of the most
successful in years and the en-
tire year as one of the unusual
accomplishments.
Records of Secretary Otto
Rausch indicate that the County
Fair of last September was well
attended and financially above
average for the entire state, and
that many permanent improve
ments were completed on the
grounds during the year.
Moreover, several thousand
dollars of old debts were re-
tired during the year, and ar
rangements are under considera-
ton whereby all old debts could
be consolidated and the Fair
start 1850 on a current basis.

Unemployment in County
Highest in Several Months
27O Seek Work,
l8O Get Checks
Through 0SES
Figure Is Percent
Above November And
Ahead of Spring Slump

Unemployment in Union Coun-
ty is the highest it has reached
in several months, according to
figures released by Carl F. Rog-
ers, manager of the Union County
office of the Ohio State Employ
ment Service.
Approximately 270 persons are
actively seeking work through
the local office and at the same
time the number of placements
is down considerably from pre-
vious months, Mr.. Rogers said.
The claims Ioad-persons act
ually receiving unemployment
checks-is 190. This is even high
er than the number of claims in
the employment slump of last
March and February.
The present figures represent
an increase of approximately
10 to Is percent over last month,
Mr.. Rogers said in regard to the
rise.
The increase is believed by him
to be due to large number Of re-
cently-unemployed construction
workers, railroad workers, cars
penters' helpers, etc. The situa-
ton is very unsettled at this
time and it would be very diff
cult to predict the future of the
employment trend, he added.
20 Placements in November
Only % persons were placed
in employment last month by the
local office, much less than usual.
This was done, however, with
only 80 referralS. Eight of the
new jobs were in agriculture and
eight were in wholesale and re-
tail trade. Although most of the
workers were Unskilled or semi
skilled, several of them were
qualified for good jobs.
The increase in the claims load
is far over the figures for Dec
ember, l948. The average un-
unemployment check per person
is slightly over S21, according to
figures compiled in the Marys-
vile office. This also represents
an increase over the similar fig
ures for the high mark of last
spring.
Trend Slowing Down
While unemployment has taken
a sharp upturn in the county in
comparison with last month, ac-
cording to Mr.. Rogers, figures
from the Ohio Bureau of Unem-
ployment Compensation for last
week indicate a halt, at least
temporarily, to the trend.
! Marysville was one of several
Ohio communities reporting re-
CreaSes in new claims for unem-
ployment compensation during
! the week ending Dec. 10, accord
ing to the State Bureau.
Statewide, new claims for
unemployment com ems a tion
dropped nearly 5000 from the
preceding week, the third conse-
cutive week in which the trend
has been reported.

Perfect example of the true
Christmas Spirit was exhibited
last week by the children OF
Trinity Lutheran Church.
For years, children of that
church, like all others in Marys-
ville,. have received a small
package of candy at Christmas
time.
This year the youngsters voted
of their own free will, to foregc
this customary treat and use
the money to buy candy fol-
children overseas.
sour boys and girls felt there
were. many little ones in Europe
who have not known the taste
of candy at Christmas for a long
long time," the Rev. E. j. Goe-
deking told his congregation Sun
day evening during the Christmas
services for the Trinity nursery
and beginners department.
AS a result of the generosity
by this group of Marysville child
rem, 180 pounds of candy were
purchased by Trinity Lutheran
Church and sent in nine 20-pouno
packages directly to two churches
in Germany.
Pastors of the congregations
there, Rev. Hans Burkhardt ano
Pastor Karl Wurm, were instruct
ed to distribute the candy among
children of their communities sc
it would reach the more needy
and deserving.
