Blast Damages
Restaurant

The Corner Restaurant, op-
Grated by Howard M Schoby in
Plain City, was damaged last
week in an estimated amount OF
$4,000 when a fuel oil tank in the
basement is said to have exploded.
All wiring was destroyed. The
entire basement, including plumb
ing facilities and wiring was de-
stroyed. Although the fire was
confined to the basement, con-
siderable damage was caused by
smoke, to the restaurant proper.
The restaurant will be closed
for a few days for repairs, MIR
Schoby stated.
Cattle and hog pens were de-
stroyed at the Plain City fair
grounds Wednesday, with damage
estimated unofficially at 500. The
fire is thought to have caught
from some burning straw which
the caretaker is reported to have
thought was under control wher
he left to go to his dinner.
The blaze was discovered by 9
passing motorist, who reported il
to Police Chief John Minshall
who called the Rural Fire De-
partment.

of Wendell Wie at Emwood Indiana to attend his notfca

statement which to is the key to the solution of the
soaed problem insofar coored people themselves
concerned.
Mr. Wilke said "Only the productive can be strong and
only the strong be Free
The fact that Wke did not &c elected is of little
quence compared with the good he did in pointing the
the solution of national and international problems
AS it. if the coored is to be free he must become
productive He must produce things the world needs and
willing pay for Progress in other fields is really synthetic
We of the Deep South feel this need very keeny. We

TINS of those who and kick us
In America coored people must guard against being drawn
into schemes which would make America weak producing
nation.
The old adage Don't kill the goose which lays the golden
egg. is based on simple but fundamental arithmetic
means let the goose multiply TIE eggs her owner can
have more TO divide For century and half America has had
the most fabulous Golden Goose the his Try Of the world Tier

response she has provided with goods and
