Milford Having
Trouble with Doqs

Numerous complaints that
school children and adults have
been attacked by dogs in Mil
ford Center have been received
by authorities there.
Accordingly, Mayor Paul Eas-
ton this week warned dog own
ers to keep them confined as re-
quired by an ordinance of that
village.
Signed complaints of attack
by dogs will result in prosecu-
ton of the owners" Mayor Eas-
ton added.
Many children in Milford Cen

school because of dogs running
the streets, the officials state. Re
ports have been received by sew
raj members of the Milford Cen

Mr.. Middleton, a resident of
Broadway for more than a year,
was in Harlan County with an
other Taylor township man, Sam
Westlake, at the time of the
shooting. Mr.. Westlake came
home on the train while Middle
ton stayed for his brothers fun
eral.
Mr.. Middleton came to Union
County as a horse buyer and it
was through this business that he
became associated with Sam
Westlake. He stayed in Union
County because of the better
schools. He plans to return to his
native state after his children get
through school.
The Broadway residents deS-
cription of the circumstances sur
rounding his brothers death is
decidedly different than the
story released by Harlan County
authorities.

Il don't see why they are going to
have a new trial" He added that
numerous witnesses, including a
lady who was one of the out
standing church workers in the
community and a highly respect
ed citizen, swore that the shoot
ing happened the way he de-
Scribed.
THE causes of the trouble in
Harlan County are the local po-
lice and constableS and the coun-
ty police" Mr.. Middleton said.
Sheriff Not Involved
The county police have no con-
nection with the Sheriff's office
but are a special force appointed
by the county judge, whose office
corresponds with our own pro-
bate judge. In Kentucky the judge
has the power to appoint such Of
ficers. Mr.. Middleton says that
the Sheriff, James Cawood, and
the State Highway Patrol get "a

Efforts of the national organi-

to have manslaughter charges a

Combs dismissed were denounced
this week by Clarence Middleton,
of Broadway. His brother was

nationally-publicized gun battle

Gently.
Combs was the fifth police
chief in EvartS since August. The
others were either shot or resign

lives. Harlan County has one of
the worst records in the state and
has been the scene of numerous
feuds and gun fights in the past
few years. 1t is also among the
richest counties in the state of
Kentucky, with the large pay
rolls resulting from the many
large mines operated there.

Operation on Leesburg Girl
Makes New Medical History

young lady, you have made
medical history today
That's what the doctors told
Carolyn Lee Guy, 9, of Leesburg
Township, after they had success
fully completed an operation on
her heart in University hospital
April 8.
Carolyn, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Carol Guy, has suffered
from a rare heart ailment since
birth, caused by failure of a Ger
tain opening to properly close.
About five cases like it are dis
covered in all of Ohio each year.
Carolyn's case, however, was
described as "the worst we've
ever seen" because she could not
undergo the operation prior to
this. The operating surgeon told
other physicians that the little
girl could not have lived more
than two years more, had the
operation not been performed.
Effect of MaladY
Effect of her condition was TO
cause exceedingly high blood
pressure and the gradual enlarge
ment of her heart. The opening in
her heart caused part of her blood
supply to be diverted from the
heart and lungs,
AS a result of her condition,
Carolyn has never been a strong
child. She has always been sub
ject to colds, has had pneumonia
several times, and failed to gain
weight properly. She liked to play
with the other children, but lack
ed the strength to be like they
were.
Carolyn was only II months
old when her parents became
aware of her condition. but the
necessary operation was. then still
in experimental stages. In recent
years, however, the procedure has
been perfected by medical science
, so that, although still accompa-
MED by danger, as is any surgery,
! the doctors were confident of its
success before Carolyn even en-
tered the hospital.
Many Watched Operation
Regardless of its success, medi-
cal science still regards it as rare
enough that approximately 25
heart specialists and surgeons
witnessed the operation on Caro-
lyn. Motion pictures were also
taken of the procedure.

Mr.. Middleton stated that his
brother, Bryan Middleton, had
been paying $50 a month to the
police for liquor protection as
Harlan County had been voted
dry. "All the people that sold
whiskey had to pay certain fee
to the police" Mr.. Middleton said.
Description of Shooting
He gave the following descrip-
ton of his brothers killing:
HE was outside putting up
lights in front of his place of
business, getting ready for the
crowd that would be in after the
basketball game being played
there that evening. Combs and
another police named Deaton
came up to him while he was
working and opened fire. My
brother was shot 10 times, most
of them in the back"
There was no question in the
court about Combs guilt" he said,

contract for the painting of nine
county bridges this summer on

of material preferred by them.
The accepted bid was SIS, ,420.7O

for Nestle'S!
The turnout from Milford Cent
er was also impressive, but not
surprising in view of that COM
munity'S wartime service record.
Chairman Lee paid tribute to
the large staff of volunteers who
assisted the nurses, who prepared
and served refreshments and staff
lunch, who assisted in the cleri-
cal work and a variety of other
tasks. The smooth manner in
which the center was operated in
Trinity Lutheran Church yester-
day was largely due to the eff
cheney of the service volunteer
groups, according to Mr.. Lee.
In about 70 hours, the blood
received from Marysville will
have been completely analysed,
typed, and processed in Columbus,
ready for injection in human
veins. Thus the following gener-

OF course, by the time you read
this, the first game of the World
Series will be over, but to me, rabid
baseball fan as / am, the 1949 World
Series is just an anti-climax after
those never-to- be-forgotten pennant
races, neither of which was decided
until the last inning of each game.
Nothing like it has ever happened
since 1908, and it will probably be
that long before anything like it will
happen again.
OF course, I'm glad that the
Brooklyn Dodgers won the close
National League pennant, because
l picked them to win before the
season started, and 1 am so often
wrong, that it sure felt good to have
one prediction come out right.
was also just as glad to see the
Yankees win, not because l picked
them-as a matter of fact / didn't
figure them at the beginning of the
season, to finish any better than
fourth-but in my book it would
have been crime for team that,
from the opening day of the season
had been on top until just the last
few days before the season ended,
to have finally gone down to defeat.
Player for player there's no ques-
ton in my mind that the Boston
Red SoX was better ball club than
the Yankees, but the Yankees, de-
spite their injuries, proved once
again that old baseball adage, 'The
team that won't be licked can't be
licked"
AS far as the World Series is con-
cerned l wouldn't be at all sur
prised to see almost a repetition of
the 1947 series, when the Yankees
and the Buns went right down to
the wire before the Yankees be-
came the winners. But this year l
am looking for the situation to be
reversed, so I'll take Brooklyn in
stead of the Yankees
