"And so he that had received
five talents came and brought
other five talents, saying, Lord
thou deliveredst unto me five
talents behold, | have gained
beside them five talents more"
49, Matthew 25.20.
A 1949 version of the parable o1
the talents, as contained in
Christ's teachings is nearing con
cluSion among members of the
First Methodist Church here. As
the final wind-up to a project
which began last March, several
projects are being planned by
the Church this week and next
Last March, approximately
$500 was distributed among mem
bers of the Church. Those TAX
ing the money were to use it as
the start of some money-making
project, with all taken in there
by to be given back to the
Church.
Most of the members partici-
pating in the project took from
SO to $5, but some families had
as high as SIS combined. Many
and ingenious have been the
methods employed to increase
the original amount.
Many Stunts Used
Some women used it to buy
ingredients for cookies, cakes or
candy which they sold. Others
had parties and charged admis-
sion. Farmer members of the
Church have fattened hogs to in
crease the amount of their "Tal-
entS."
"All of the various methods
employed we will not know un-
til the final reports are in," il
was reported by a member of the
committee, Russ Gronko, Satur-
day.
Final wind-up of the talent
program will be a social get

Railroad Hearing Ends Friday
Two Marysville
Men Witnesses
DecrY N. Y, C.'s Plan To
Haul Mail in Trucks

Hearings ended late Friday be-
fore the State Utilities Commits
sion on a move to drop daytime
passenger trains running be-
tween Columbus and Toledo.
Utilities Examiner John Case
gave opposing counsels until Dec.
l to file their briefs on the case.
The trains which the railroad
seek to stop are number seven
leaving Columbus at 9:55 a. m.
and arriving at Ills p. m. in Tole-
do and number eight leaving To-
eldo at 1886 p. m. and arriving in
Columbus at 6:55 p. m. The trains
stop in Marysville at 10:40 a. m.
and SAB p. M.
Propose Trucks for Mail
The night trains will still
serve all communities between
Columbus and Toledo which
would be affected by the propoS-
ed abandonment of two daytime
runs, a New York Central Rail
road official told the State Pub
lie Utilities Commission Thurs
day.
j. w. Crowley, assistant NYC
| superintendent at Columbus testi-
fled before the Commission that
trains number one and four serve
the affected stations at night.
The railroad is seeking to stop
two passenger runs during the
day on the grounds that there is
not sufficient traffic tor justify
continued operation and that the
NYC has suffered a Substantial"
loss from them during the last
two years.
Crowley also said that the pas
senger trains interfer with the eff
ficient operation of freight trains
'to the detriment of the public
convenience" He told the COM
mission that truck service would
be arranged for express and mail
between the towns and villages
affected.
MsrYsville Men Testify
Two Marysville business men
and an official of Bowling Green
State University began the op-
positions case late Thursday with
testimony that the abandonment
might mean the trains.
The first witnes to take the
stand in opposision to the pro-
posed move was Charles d.. Mills,
secretary of o, M. Scott & Sons
Co. who said his company used
trains 7 and 8 continually for
shipments and that the firm

Record Corn Crop Seem
For Farmers of County
Quality, Yield
Both Better
Than Last Year S
Lack of Frost Gives
Unions Biggest Crop
Time to Ripen Well

All indications point to 1949
corn crop that is far better than
last year, County Agent Frank
Greeneisen said Friday. Corn has
always been the chief crop in
Union County and this year is
not an exception as all parts of
the county report more and bet
ter quality corn than in 1948.
Last years crop of slightly
more than 100000 bushels will
be topped this fall. Mr.. Greenei-
sen was, of course, unable to ac-
curately estimate the total yield
but he placed it in the neighbor-
hood Of 3,250,O00 bushels. The
acreage in the county varies lit
tie from year to year and $4,000
acres were planted in l948. The
average yield per bushel last
year was better than so bushels
per acre.
Quality Better. Too
Not only is the yield higher
this year but the quality of the
corn is considerably better Last
years crop had a very high
moisture content due to the early
frost that prevented the ears
from reaching maturity.
None of the crop has been
harmed by frost this fall and
most of it is drier now than it
was much later in the season
last year, the county agent
pointed out.
Much corn was lost through
spoilage in the crib last year but,
although few, if any farmers have
cribbed any of the 1949 crop
yet, it is dry enough to keep
if given proper storage condi-
tions he added The weather has
been too warm recently for prop
er storage for new corn.
According to Mr.. Greeneisen
the temperature should be below
so degrees for safe storing. The
IS and 80 degree weather
Union County has been exper-
iencing recently is much too
warm.

BROOKLYN, July 1l-tR-Joe DiNaggio may be in the starting lineup tomorrow when the Ameri- can Leagues star-Studded array faces the National Leagues best in the 16th annual All-Star game at Ebtets Field.
 The way was paved for DiMag- gio's appearance as starter when Tommy Henrich, his New York Yankee outfield teammate, and No. 1 choice for the starting right field berth, said he did not think he would be fit to play. Henrich suf- fered a knee injury week ago and has been out of the lineup since.
 Manager Lou Boudreau of the Americans has given no indication as to who will take Hanrich's place, but it would come as no sur prise to see Joltin' Joe patrol the right field sector at game time.
 Although Boudreau is compelled to start the fans top selections in a nationwide poll which ended re- gently, he can substitute any player he sees fit in case of injury to a regular.
