PARIS, May "a. - Western
Europe takes it's biggest step
toward postwar free trade on
July /.
On that date, Marshall Plan
experts announced yesterday. the
new European Payments Union
will go into effect. The union
will set up a currency pool aimed
at freeing trade within Europe's
borders from the barter basis
which has straitjacketed it since
the war.
officials of the Organization for
European Economic Recovery
(OEEC). which administers the
Marshall Plan, said details of the
program still are being worked
out. But main decisions have
been made, they declared, permit
ting the union to start working at
the end of June.
Ministers representing the Mar
shall Plan countries will check on
progress of the preparations at
meetings June 2 and June 20.
With no common currency pool
heretofore, Western Europe's
countries have been restricted in
their purchases to buying from
countries to which they sold. The
new union will permit swapping
Of credits.
Italy, for example, may have
Dutch guilders but no French
francs. If she wants to buy from
France, she may use her guilders
in the pool to get francs which an
other nation has turned in. The
pool will funnel the guilders onj
to some prospective customer of
the Netherlands.
A special exception has been
made to protect the British pound,
the medium for about half the
worlds trade. Pounds will still
be spent outside the sterling area

Two Boys Injured
Cor Demolished In
Wreck Wednesday,

Two boys were injured and
taken to Jane Case hospital in
Delaware, and the car they were
driving was completely demol-
ished as result of an accident
that occurred on Rt. 81, north of
Magnetic Springs at 8 p. m. We'd
nesday, according to Deputy
Franklin Simpson.
The injured boys, both age 18,
were Richard Hyland, S. Main
st. and George Kleiber, E.
Fourth st. Hyland was driving
the car, belonging to Kleiber's
father, Curtis Scheiderer, also
of N. Maple st. They were travel
ing north, when the car missed
a turn, dropped off into ditch,
hit a utility pole, and broke it
off. The car capsized into the
ditch. The wreckage was towed
to Huffman's garage.
The boys were reported to be
in a dazed condition and are now
in the hospital for X-rays and OBJ
servation. They were unable to
make any statements immediate

that this portion of the church
might be used.
During the war period plans
were made for the new rooms
to be created and architects blue
prints were made by Benham
and Richards, of Columbus In
cluded in these plans were that
large room now completed, and
rest rooms and two other rooms
yet to be completed, as well as
a new gas-fired boiler. This room
is really only the first stage OF
an elaborate Improvement plan.
Gift from Robinson Estate
In 1948 the trustees of the
church received a gift from the
estate of the late Charles S.
Robinson to be used as they saw
fit in creating memorial to his
parents, Charles and Margaret
Robinson, who were members OF
the Presbyterian Church. The
new room seemed to be the fit
ting memorial, so work was be-
gun Immediately.
Labor used was almost entire
lyF voluntary, for members OF
the church gave of their time,
just as they had done for the
original excavation. The work
was under the capable direction
of Herbert c. Wright.
Faced with limitations impos-
ed by piping and sills, the room
was designed without windows
and with eight sides. By the use
of South American cedrella for
the paneling of the room, this
disadvantage of shape has been
changed to an advantage making
the room unique and unusual.
For Informal Meetings
Mrs. Ethel Burgess, of Del
phos, has donated a picture OF
her grandparents, in whose mem
ory the room is named. This pic
ture is apparently quite old but
still in excellent condition in its
original frame and colored.
The room has been furnished
as a lounge for informal meet
ings. Since it is heated separate
ly, it is very usable and many
church groups use the room. II
is hoped that this fall the more
elaborate plans may be continu-
ed by the installation of the gas
fired boiler.

MonY Premiums For
Stute Fair Exhibits

Ina B. Keckley, who owns and

her farm winnings at the state
fair in the agricultural depart

Miss Keckley and her family
have been long associates with
ribbon-winning displays at the

grandfather, who was also one
of the directors of the Union
county fair board was an active
participant in agricultural dis
plays, as was her father, Joseph
L. Keckley. He was director OF
the Union county Fair board for
many years.
Sam Westlake, cousin of Miss
Keckley, is now carrying off the
family traditions by his activi-
ties as a member of the. present

Now You're Warned!
KiWaniS Kuties
To Kut Kapers

Kiwanis meeting this week
took on a political convention
appearance. All the members
lined up behind two banner bear
erS and marched around the room
singing Little Liza jane. 1t had
just been announced by weep
GreeneiSen that Kiwanis Kut-
Ups or Kapers, or at least some
thing starting with a *" and
ending in confusion, would be Of
fered the local public on the
evenings of Nov. Is and II.
No one will want to arrange
anything which might even re-
motely conflict with those dates.
We can think of nothing that
month with the possible excep-
ton of Thanksgiving which could
compete with what Ed Goedeking
and his theatrieally-minded assoc
iates will put on the high school
auditorium stage. The proceeds
will all go to the Kiwanis under
privileged child fund so if grown
men, presumably in their right
minds, want to make fools of
themselves, who are we to criti-
cize them.
Folks who have put into their
vocabularies in this TV era such
names as Milton Berle, Don
Eagle, Gorgeous George and
Jerry Lester, will soon forget
those hams when they witness
the talents of Cutie Conger, Roc
co Rardin, Wailing Wall, Babbl-
ing Brubaker, Shameful Sharrer
and Curly Curry to mention but
few. Talent which you never
realized was in your midst will
walk across the stage and leave
you breathless or in equally bad
shape.
There will be more. You'll not
be allowed to forget this forth
coming extravaganza. Put aside
few dimes for it and above all
put circle around those dates
Nov. Is and II. Prepare yourself
for a colossal production which
will rock the community. We're
not in position to say which way.
