County Land Value Drops $40
Rogers Describes
Job Situation
AS Best OF Year
Only SO Drawing
Compensation July 81:
Winter Months Bad

Employment situation in Union
County is the best it has been
this year after the worst winter
in the history of the local office,
Carl F. Rogers, manager of the
local Ohio State Employment Of
flee stated today.
At the end of July, only 3S per-
sons were drawing unemploy-
ment claims from the local office
as compared with 81 at the be-
ginning of the month. The lack
of claimants has continued
throughout the first few weeks of
August, Mr.. Rogers added.
"The incre a e d construction
work, contracting, and the open
ing of the canneries contributes
greatly to the employment situa-
tion," the manager added. Aver
age claim check for July was
$22.H he said.
During the month of July the
local office made total of rs
placemets with only 88 job re-
ferrals, Ten of the placements
were in agriculture.
"On July 81 we had only 102
persons actively seeking work
through office and the number is
probably less than that at the
present time" Mr., Rogers stated
During the first six months OF
the year, claims and number OF
persons seeking work were at ar
all-time high for the local office
A total of 6156 persons were in
terviewed in the office with 1907
of those actually seeking jobs.
Of those seeking work, 424
were referred to employers ano
800 of those referred were hired
a very creditable percentage.
There was a monthly average
of $40 claimants in the local of
flee during those six months from
January through June, Mr.. Rog'
ers added.

If Marysvile Were be Bombed
Defense Chief Describes Emergency Procedure

Under the present civil de-
fense Set-up, Marysville and
Union County would receive all
the emergency aid needed in case
of an attack from the air, Area
Civil Defense Director Leo M.
Scheiderer stated today.
Under the rapidly expanding
civil defense program, this en-
tire area, including the 26 south
eastern counties in Ohio, would
have the mutual benefit of the
combined emergency units and
men of each county.
Best way to explain the opera
ton of such a set-up is to follow
through with a theoretical bomb
ing attack on town, Mr.. Scheid-
erer said.

to undergo an incendiary attack

Arrest OF Two
Solves Old Theft

Two Magnetic Springs men are
being held in connection with
the theft of $531 in war bonds
and cash from the Otis Hull home
in Magnetic Springs, Sheriff Wal
ter Galloway announced today
The youths, Junior and Virgil
Vance, aged 20 and 10 years old
respectively, were arrested in
connection with a gas theft, and
it was almost by accident that it
was discovered that they also
took part in the burglary of the
Hull home last January.
The Hull home was broken in
to the night of Jan. 20, 1850 and
$500 in war bonds and $31 in
cash was taken. The war bonds,
II in number, included l6 $25
bonds, and one 500 bond. They
were issued by the National City
Bank of Marion between l943
and 1945.
There is no indication that the
war bonds have been cashed and
the youths stated that they threw
them away. The Hulls were COM
pensated for their. loss by the
Treasurery Department w t h n
80 days after the theft, the Sher-
iff stated.
The Sheriff contacted both the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
and Treasurery Department of
ficials but they stated that they
could not bring charges unless
the bonds has been signed anc
cashed, after being stolen.
The youths were picked up by
the Sheriff following statements
by Don Hendrickson, Redwood
who was arrested last week in
connection with a series of gas
thefts throughout the county.
Hendrickson was charged with
petty larceny by a Dover Town
ship farmer and was arraigned
before Justice William Snodgrass
at noon Thursday.

Set Up First Aid
Medical officers and equipment
would be on the scene immedi-
ately after the area was cleared.
They would set up emergency
first aid stations and everyone

One Car Accidents Cause Concern
Among Patrol; Mingle Cites Example

In analyzing motor vehicle ac-
cidents, Colonel George Mingle,
superintendent of the Ohio State
Highway Patrol said today that
it is, year after year, the same
oh story-bad driving habits,
poor judgment and lack of re-
sponsibility on the part of the
driver or the pedestrian.
"Unquestionably'', he said, "the
human factor is the major ele-
ment in the traffic accident pic
ture." Substantiating this state
ment, Colonel Mingle pointed to
the summary of fatal accidents
occurring on the rural highways
in 1949. These show that, of tot
al of 637 fatal accidents for that
year in which 737 persons were
killed, 295 or As percent of the
rural fatal smash ups on the
highways involved but one We
