Hearing Dale Set
To Drop Trains

Columbus, Sept. 8-The State
Utilities Commission has selected
Oct. l3 as the hearing date for a
New York Central Railroad peti-
tion to discontinue two passenger
trains running between Columbus
and Toledo.
The railroad filed its petition
with the PUCO in July, stating
that the slight volume of pas
sengerS and freight carried by the
two trains made their operation
Improbable.
The two traine-Numbers 7 and
8-link Marysville. West Mans
field, Findlay, Kenton and other
towns with the terminal cities.
A similar proposal to diScon-
tinue the service was made pre-
viously but the petition was de-
MED by the Commission upon the
strong protests of local govern
ment officials.

Gypsy Band
Ordered to Move

When a small group of Gypsies
stopped at a farm near New Calf
ornia and asked to rent piece
of land for a short time for a
camp, the owner thought little of
the matter and allowed them to
stay.
However, when approximately
60 more arrived on the scene,
strung up electric lights, and APP
peared to have intentions of set
ting up a permanent camp, the
farmer began to wonder.
The band stayed there almost
two weeks before the people of
the community began to really
worry about missing property. At
last, Sheriff Walter Galloway was
approached on the matter and he
took action at once.
The land owner agreed to do
anything the sheriff recommended
to rid the community of the Gyp-
sies. Together, they informed the
campers that the land was no
longer for rent and that they must
move at once. The Sheriff re-
ports that the last of the band
left over the weekend, undoubt-
edly heading for greener pastures.

Chuckery-Darby Adopts Budget For
1850; See $4,000 Increase in Costs

II will cost almost $4,000 more
to operate Chuckery-Darby
schools in 1850 than in l948 ac-
cording to the annual budget fill
ed with the County Auditor by
r. w. Zimmerman, clerk of the
Board of Education.
The estimated expenses for 1850
show a slight rise IN all depart
ments, with maintenance of the
school plant more than doubling
over the actual cost in l948. The
estimated balance at the end of

Job Situation
Continues Gains

Continued improvement in the
unemployment picture is noted
in the report for August by Carl
F. Rogers, local manager of the
Ohio State Employment Service.
"a slight decrease in the num-
Der of unemployed seeking work
and a further decrease in the to-
tai filing claims for compensation
in Union County have been
noted" Rogers declared.
His office received fewer appli-
catioS for work during August
than in July, Rogers added, and
the majority of those seeking
work were in the semi-Skilled or
unskilled fields.
Approximately no persons are
currently seeking work through
the Union County office. During
August, Fogers and his aides set
new record by finding jobs for
1O6 of the 125 applicants seeking
work.
Claims for unemployment com
pensation also took a tumble in
August, Fogers said. At the pre-
sent time, there are only "a claim
ants currently reporting to the of
flee as compared with 1913 last
month.
Peak load for both compensa-
ton claims and applications OF
job seekers came last April, ac-
cording to Rogers.
During that month, there were
184 claims for unemployment
compensation and 272 applicants
for jobs" he said.

Monarchs to Face
Veteran Team

Marysville high schools grid
ders will travel to Mechanicsburg
Friday night to face one of the
toughest teams to come out of the
Burg in several years.
Not only are hopes for a victory
running high in the Champaign
County town but there is plenty
of material and weight to back
it up. Twelve lettermen are back
from last years team and seven
of these were regulars on that
outfit.
The Golden Indians hold a 6-2
victory over billiards in a prac-
tice game and they looked i'm
pressive in that win. The center
of their line was almost inn
pregnable to rushes and the
Franklin County team made very
little headway between the tack
les.
The backfield is composed of
Oyer at full, Estel Reid at left,
half, Welch at right half, and
Gest at quarterback. Oyer is small
but rugged and he scored the
touchdown that beat billiards on
a line plunge Both Reid and
Welch are good runners and both
are very dangerous, Gest is the
biggest man on the squad at 1872
pounds and is the passer.
The team uses the split T to
make up for the lack of power
and it has worked very effectively
IN practice.
On the basis of returning ma
terial only, the Burg should rate
a favorite over the Monarchs but
after remembering that Marys-
vile did not use everyone from
the 1948 team that handed the
Burg a 42-7 licking, the locals
cannot be counted out.

and all of Cherry st.
1t is also planned to oil W.
Third st. from Maple to Grand
ave.
'"The resurfacing," according to
Richard Hervey, chairman of
Councils street committee, will
consist of a seal-coat of hot as
phalt and finely crushed stone.
While the main purpose of the
treatment is to seal the cracks
and protect the streets from frost
damage by preventing water from
getting beneath them to freeze, it
will also make the streets much
smoother for travel"
Work to Start Sept. l9
Work will start on Sept. 10, and
is expected to be completed in
about three days. The streets will
be closed to traffic while work
is being completed but may be
used as quickly as the material is
rolled in
Four bids were received on the
street resurfacing project. They
were: A. G.. Schmidt & Sons of
Plain City, S725O; S. G.. w. Con-
struction Company of Redwood,
S7450; Union Asphalt Material
Company of Ostrander, S4436.25;
and the Urbana Tar & Asphalt
Company of Urbana, S4250.
Dale Overly moved to accept
the Urbana Company's bid. Fred
Easton seconded the motion and
it was passed.

Flames Destroy
Huge Dairy Barn
Faulty Wiring Blamed
For $4,000 Fire Loss

A large dairy and storage
barn, reported to be the second
largest in this community, was
destroyed at approximately IL
a. m. today by a devastating fire
of undetermined origin.
The barn, wood frame with a
concrete base, approximately 100
feet by 63 feet was located on
the farm of Floyd Weldon, 38,
one-half mile north of Halls Cor
ners on u. S. Rt 33, and was ap-
proximately so feet from six out
buildings. and Weldon's l2-room
modern farmhouse which escaped
destruction only because of a stiff
breeze blowing the flames away
from the home.
Weldon estimated that the
barn would cost at least $4,000
to be duplicated today. How
ever, firemen and neighbors said
that the building was worth all
of $4,000.
A SiX-weekS-old calf burned in
the barn along with approximate
ly 30 tons of hay. Weldon said
that he was out in a field work
ing when he noticed high flames
coming from the barn. BY the
time he arrived al the building, he
reported, the fire was so hot that
he did not attempt to enter and
save any of the small tools which
he stored there.

Comparison Of Grocery Prices

&SW ~~
 A supply Eof food which cost a stateside housewife $100 last March would have been pur- chased in Kodiak for $l56 Al, the territorial department of la Dor reports.
 The figures are included in the final report on the monthly food prices survey series which the department has conducted 8 nee July l947.
 According to Henry Benson, commissioner of the department. the territorial legislature failed to appropriate any money for the departments statistical div ision, at the last session, so the just-,eleased report is the 6nas one.
 The cost of food in Alaskan ci- ties, for eight major groups, is compared with average costs fer ths same food items in 56 U. $. cities during March. The stats- slde figures come from the Bu- reau of Labor Statistics of the U. s. Department of Labor.
 Kodiak food in all groups cost more in March than in any other of seven Alaskan cities the report shows Fairbanks however was close behind, it's fig ure being $l55.76, as compared to the stateslde $l0O average.
 Eggs and dairy products cost more here over the stateside average than anywhere else in the er,itory With the U $ av- craze set at 100. by comparison eggs averaged 160 36 and dairy products l63 GA. However, the highest ine:t ase in Kodiak over stateside prices was in cereals and bakery products which, based on the 100 avzrage, were begged at l78 45 here Anchor age and Sitka figures m the same food group were even higher.
 Another chart in the same rec polt shows the Kodiak average retail food prices from July l947 to March of this year, with the earliest month used as the i00- average month.
 The greatest increase since I947 has come in ceareals and bakery products while eggs, dried fruits and vegetables and fats and oils in March were figured as costing less than two years ago All food costs for the period have lisen from the mean 100 to 107 II, which means that what you theoretically could have bought for $lOO then costs $lO7 Ii now
