Mercer Urges
Support Of Fair

Belief that the various Marys-
vile organizations should take
more of hand in supporting the
Union County Fair was stressed
by w. E. (Brigg) Mercer in a
talk before the Marysville Lions
Club Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Mercer, prominent Plain
City business man president of
the Plain City Fair Board and
noted harness racing enthusiast
was asked to speak on harness
racing before the Lions Club.
During his talk, he covered all
the important points of the sport
and the United States Trotting
Association, and the subject ma
turally led to fairs, perhaps the
closest subject to racing.
He stated that the people of
Marysville are placing too much
responsibility on the Union Coun-
ty Fair Board and that the var
ious organizations in and around
Marysville should help make
their Fair more of success.
Mr.. Mercer added that the
Union County Fair has been going
down hill for some time and that
something must be done to re-
build it. All of the. approximately
40 Lions Club members present
were in full accord with Mr..
MERGERS statements.

Polio Group Hears
Of Warm Springs
DR.. Keever Tells
OF Daughters Progress

Report on the polio treatments
at Warm Springs, Ga, was given
by DR.. Keever of Redwood, to
the Union County Chapter of the
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis, during its monthly
meeting, in Byhalia, Tuesday
evening.
DR.. Keever's daughter is re-
-eiving treatments at Warm
Springs and is progressing nicely.
He gave a first hand report on
the type of treatments given and
other information about the place
famous for the advancement il
has made in the treatment of po-
lilo.
After the talk, the 80 people
present voted to send Carolyn
Hickok, Z, of Redwood, to Warm
Springs for treatment. She has
been afflicted with polio for al
most five years. Since the size of
the Sanitarium limits the number
of persons treated at one time to
about ITS it is still unknown
whether or not the case will be
accepted.
Since there has been no polio
in Union County thus far this
summer, it was voted to send
$1,000 to the National Foundation
for use in places hit hard by the
disease. Last year, when II cases
were reported, Union County
was forced to borrow large sums
from the National Foundation. AT
the present time the local chap
ter has a balance of more than
$4,000.
The next meeting of the Union
County Chapter will be held
Sept. 20 in Redwood. Everyone
is invited to attend these meetings
and all those present have the
voting privilege.

The people present enjoyed
roast beef dinner prepared by
Ed Cottle, professional caterer
from Marietta. Mr.. Cottle did an
excellent job in preparing the
meal, as only very small pan of
beef was left over. So exact was
the planning that only four slices
of bread were left uneaten.
Tennyson Guyer, Findaly min
ister, was present to address the
group. He denounced charges
that the co-ops are Communistic
in nature and stated that they
are the direct answer to that

success with the crowd. They
sang variety of numbers and
almost everyone at the meeting

1t was a pleasant day, just
cloudy enough to hide the sun
most of the time for a trip to the
All Club Camp on Tuesday.
About a mile south of the village
of Clifton, with its historic old
mill, the camp is located in a
wooded area of some 1900 acres
along the Little Miami river. The
first camp of 25 years ago was a
far cry from the permanent one
we see there today. Then, the
camp consisted of few tents,
lighted by candles, the boys and
girls bringing not only their own
equipment but food as well,
which was prepared by some of
the mothers and older girls.
Now, the new dining hall of
pine logs, smoothly vanished
pine tables and benches, concrete
floor, well-screened windows and
doors, affords not only a clean
place for meals, but ample space
for the evening entertainments,
The kitchen is well equipped with
regulation hotel-size electric
range, two huge electric water
heaters, a room size walk-in re-
frigerator, and well stocked
shelves. Not far away, a small
pine building houses the well,
from which excellent drinking
water spouts from new, up-to-

Peoriu Youth Fined
On Driving Charge
In Mt. Gileud Court

Charles Edward Kincaid, 20, of
near Peoria in Union county, was
fined $40 and costs Saturday
when arraigned before Mayor
Paul Richeson on a charge of
reckless operation of motor We
hicle. He was cited into court by
the state highway patrol after his
automobile struck a car belong
ing to Dewey Healea, parked in
front of the Kenneth Jones resi-
dence on Gilead street, in Card
ington.
Healea, an employee of the
state highway department had
parked his car on the west side of
Route AZ while working with a
highway department crew on the
East Main street bridge there.
The car driven by Kincaid,
travelling south, was following a
truck. When the truck slowed
as it was approaching the bridge,
Kincaid lost control of his car.
The car swerved from the high
way and crashed into the side of
Healea's automobile, causin 6
considerable damage to both We
hicleS.
Kincaid appeared in Mayor
Richeson's court a year ago on a
similar charge after his automo-
bile had been involved in a col
lision with an automobile at the
curve on Route AZ at Dewey's
Three RS.

|For North Atlantic Pact
lin Kravchenko's Suit
by the Assoeiofed Press

MOSCOW, Feb. 3.-One of Rus
sia's outstanding fiction writer's,
Konstantin Simonov, calls Victor
Kravchenko's legal action against a
French newspaper part of the
propaganda for q North Atlantic
pact.
(Mr. Kravchenko, author of II
Chose Freedom" an account of
life in the Soviet, is suing the
pro- Communist weekly Les Let
tres Franchises. for allegedly
libeling him.
Mr.. Simonov says the essence of
the matter is that American war
mongers in Europe decided to- Or
ganize the loudest possible anti
Soviet case on French territory
=" He said American agents
gave Mr.. Kravchenko "exact in
structions and he is carrying them
out in the courtroom ="
Mr.. Simonov, novelist, poet and
playwright, devoted nearly a half
page In Pravda on Tuesday to his
story about Mr.. Kravchenko.
The Soviet writer said Mr.. Krav-
chenko had run up card debts" in
Washington. American agents paid
his debts, Mr.. Simonov said, in re-
turn for Mr.. Kravchenko's signing
his "black name under the most ILL.,
smelling of any of the slanderous
anti-Soviet books ever to come out

by American intelligence agents"

Krovchenko Calls Charge
EfDeliberote' Russian Lie

PARIS, Feb. 3 R.-Victor Krav-
chenko said yesterday an assertion
from MoscoR that his libel suit was
part Of the propaganda for a North
Atlantic pact was a deliberate"
lie.
The author of 'I Chose Freedom"
told newsmen that Konstantin
Simonov's accusation in Pravda
came ION orders from the Politburo. "
Mr.. Kravchenko said Mr.. Simo-
nov's article was the first account
to appear inside Russia about his
break with the Soviet regime. He
declared it had been printed for
three reasons:
Because the Soviet occupation
armies in Germany and Austria
know about this trial now; because
thousands of Soviet officials abroad
know about the trial: and because
-" inside the Soviet Union people
have learned, at their own risks,
about the trial by listening to for
eign broadcasts on short wave."

Painters Should Dodge Sun

Painting in the direct rays of the
hot sun should be avoided, but
work can be laid out so that the
operator follows the movement of
the sur. If a house faces east, the
painter should start as early as
possible or the west side, doing
the east at a later hour. Early
afternoon would be the time for the
north side, while the south side
should be done later in the after
noon. Paint, of course, should never
be applied to surfaces on which
humidity has condensed to form a
temporary film of water.
