After Eiqhteen Years

DETROIT, MICH. Dewey
Wilson, 81. recently was found
innocent of a charge of armed
robbery after he had served 18
years of a life sentence after
conviction on that charge. He
was convicted in November,
1882.
The trial at which he was ac1
quilted was won on grounds
that his conviction had come be-
cause of perjured testimony.
His accuser, Walter Norwood,
So, charged that Wilson robbed
him of $500 in a holdup OF Belle
Island in May, 1881.
At the re-trial, Wilson testi-
fled that he later met Norwood
in 1945 in southern Michigan
prison where the latter was
serving a term on a charge of
violating gambling laws.
Wilson testified that Norwood
told him that police had in
structed Norwood to testify as
he did at the original trial.

limestone is shipped by rail in
open cars in winter because Of the
danger of freezing.
Lime can be trucked, however,
from the quarry directly
to the farm since there is little or
no freezing danger.
Jones points out that winter
lining recommendations are mere
ly an extension of time in earlier
lining advice. Lining materials
can be applied satisfactorily dur
ing summer and fall on meadows
that are to be plowed the fol-
lowing spring.
This is entirely satisfactory on
lined fields only slightly acid.
On unlimed acid soils, however,
an additional application of fine
material should be applied so
that it will be in the surface soil
where clover and alfalfa seed start
to grow" Jones says up to one
half the entire application might
be made so it is in the surface

The story of Plymouth Rock, !"
especially appropriate for the
Thanksgiving season, was read by
Miss Margaret Chance.
The Pilgrims who sailed in the
'Mayflower" landed on the rock,
as tradition has it, in the harbor
at Plymouth, Mass, on December
q, 1920. Although beset by pri-
vation, cold, sickness and Indians,
they preserved and gradually
colonized the surrounding land.
The Pilgrims signed the MAY
flower Compact, the first written
constitution in the world, and or
ganized an effective government
with John Carver, William Brad
ford, Elder Brewster, Myles STAN
dish and John Robinson as the
leaders. The rock, later moved to
a protected spot, remains as a
symbol of dauntless courage, the
birth place of religious freedom,
and is a monument to the hardy
pioneers who were the first to in
augurate a government "of the
people, by the people, and for the
people"
Mrs. Charles r. Petree of CO.
lurnbus, the guest speaker, was
presented by Mrs. Chance.

order to further the advancement
of the excellent program of this
great patriotic society.

ing arranged the dining room

Fire Patrol In
Schools Helps
Prevent Fires

The School Fire Patrol has
been initiated in many schools
as part of the extensive fire pre-
vention activities of the Ohio Fire
Safety Committee, Division of
State Fire Marshal. This pro-
gram has the hearty endorse
ment of Harry ]. Callan, State
Fire Marshal, as one of the best
means of teaching the youngsters
the rudiments of fire safety, for
it instills in them a sense of re-
sponsibility for their own and
their fellow students welfare.
The patrol is set up in the
grade schools with a student
chief leading each school. He re-
ports directly to the fire de-
partment, correlating the infor-
nation of his junior officers and
making personal inspections. In
each grade from the fourth
through the eighth, a captain and
lieutenant assume active duties.
The carrying of matches, fire.
works, etc, is banned and en-
forcement is carried out. Fire
Prevention literature is distri-
buted and instructions in fire
safety given. The patrol in the
high school is essentially the same
with emphasis being placed on
means of egress and condition of
exit doors.
The patrol assists in fire drills,
helping crippled children out of
the building, observing that all
doors are closed after the class
