Blue Geese At
Lake St. Marys

The Ohio Division of Wild
life's waterfowl management pro-
gram at Lake st. Marys has real
~ paid off for hunters this sea-
son.
Jim Stuber, veteran Ohio con-
servationist and Dayton outdoor
writer, reports that hunters have
bagged a total of 81 blue geese
at St. Marys thus far, which is
we'll on the way to 25-year re-
cord for the area.
Stuber, who has kept in close
contact with the st. Marys area
for many years and particularly
since the waterfowl program was
begun in 1916, says that record
number of ducks and geese were
raised on the refuge there the
past season, ard as result inland
waterfowl hunters have enjoyed
the fruits of the program this
hunting season. Stuber said that
probably more than 81 OF tho
'honkers" have been bagged al
though only that number have
been reported.

Modernized Code
Needed To Save
Bond Issue Money

Unless Oh;o's obsolete school
building code is modernized, a
considerable percentage of the
S97, ,000,0C0 in school bond issues
voted upon at the November cleo
tion will be absolutely wasted, >"
according to Arthur j. Klein, cx-
eeutive secretary of the Ohio
Citizens Commission for the Pu-
bic Schools,
1T seems terribly stupid that
state law itself should require
that any of this moEey be wasted,
Klein said. However, the state
code, written in 1911, "compels
school districts to spend large
sums that are absolutely un-
necessary when they construct a
school building" he said.
Klein urged that the legislature
take immediate action in jan
uary upon proposed revisions in
the school building code which
are being prepared by a commit
tee of the Ohio Program Com
mission.
A large amount of the school
bond issue money approved No
vember Z by Ohio communities
will be wasted if modernization
of the school building code is
delayed until 1858 when the leg
islature is scheduled to consider
revision of the entire building

code of the state.
AS an example of the antigua
ted and money-wasting' provi-
sions of the school building code
he cited an added $4,000 cost to
a one-floor school building in
Dayon resulting from a provision
that interior walls must be II
inches thick even though carry
ing no structural weight. Had it
not been for the code the walls
could have been five inches in
thickness.
At least 20 per cent could be
saved on the cost of plumbing if
the code had been brought up to
date, he said. The code also calls
for installation of one-third more
toilets than are necessary in a
school building.

IT'S CHESTY" HIMSELF
Col. Lewis Burwell Fuller of the
Marines-"C hesty" to his beloved
Leathernecks-is pictured here as
he led the First Regiment Of the
First u. S. Marine Division against
the Communist Koreans at Yong
dunpo for the capture of the CAPT
tai city of Seoul. The camera
caught the fighting colonel in bat
tie trim just as he used to look
in the old Banana wars and in the
Jap-infested jungles of the South
Pacific.
Col. Fuller was born in West
Point, Virginia, June 26, 1898. He
attended Virginia Military Insti-
tute and in 1918 enlisted in the
Marines. A year later he was en-
rolled as second lieutenant in the
Marine Corps Reserve and went
on inactive duty, but only for one
week. He re-enlisted in the Ma
rines for duty as an officer in the
Gendarmerie d'Haiti. In 1924 he
returned to the United States and
was commissioned a second lieu
tenant in the Marines. Then fol-
lowed duty in many stations, in
Guiding service as a major in the
Nicaragua Guardia Macdonald, and
subsequently in China commanded
the famous Marine mounted de-
tachment known as the "Horse
Marines"
In World War II Col. Fuller re-
Joined the First Marine Division
in 1912 and won second Gold
Star in lieu of his third Navy
Cross in the hard-fought struggle
to defend Guadalcanal. He re-
manned in the South Pacific and
fought in its jungles until late in
1914, winning his third Gold Star
and the Legion of Merit. He has
been awarded many other aecora-
tions and medals.
