Defendants Win
Jury Verdict in Loss
Of Tractor by Fire

Verdict for the defendants was
returned by a jury in Common
Pleas Court, Saturday morning,
in the case of John Edelblute
against Lester, Richard and Mary
JeWett.
Involved was liability for q
tractor which Richard Jewett
had borrowed from Edelblute on
Oct. %, 1949. After borrowing the
tractor, Jewett stored it in his
barn while making a trip to Mar
ion, and while he was away, the
barn burned to the ground, de-
stroying the tractor and all other
contents.
Interpretation of the law was
to the effect that, since there was
no negligence on the part of Jew
etts in starting the fire, they were
not liable for the cost of the trac-
tor.
Members of the jury signing
the verdict were Stanley Thom-
as, Lura Ehret, Ruth Elliott, Ger
trude Stierhoff, Burdene Bur-
roughs, Eleanor Davis, A. H. Dur
nell, Victor Renner, c. M. Trees
and James Randall.
Former Judge Richard L. Cam
eron was attorney for the Jew
etts.

Rev: Goedeking Dedicates Site,
Wolff Turns First Shovel of Dirt

More than 800 persons turned
out Sunday afternoon to witness
the formal ground breaking cere-
mony and dedication program for
Union County'S Memorial Hos
pital.
In charge of William l.. Cole
man, Marysville attorney, as gen
eral chairman and master of cere-
monies, the program was brief
but extremely appropriate to the
occasion.
Speaker was the Rev. E. j.
Goedeking pastor of Trinity
Lutheran Church. He likened the
turning of the first shovel-full of
dirt to spading ones garden.
The man who spades a garden
he said, does SO with the eXpecta-
ton of planting the seeds which
will eventually grow into fruits
and vegetables for the nourish-
ment of his body.

Routine Affairs
AT Board Meeting
Abstract Nearly Done
On Allen School

Only a few routine matters
were transacted by the Marys-
vile Board of Education, last
Thursday, in the shortest meeting
held in many months,
Supt. H. w. Carr told the Board
that an abstract of title to the old
Allen Local School building viii
be ready next week, after which
1T can be sold.
When the Allen people vol
UNFAIRLY discontinued their school
and the district was split up, the
MarysVille School was given that
portion of the district which con-
tanned the Allen school building.
Having no use for the building
the Marysville Board of Educa-
ton decided to sell it.
Before it could be sold, how
ever, it was necessary to have a
clear title to it, so the Union
County Title and Abstract Co., OF
Marysville, was retained to cim-
plete the job.
Plumbing Work Advances
Supt Carr also reported that in
stallation of new plumbing fix

.Jobless Benefit
Claims Reported
"a Filed Week Ending
June 3, Gained 10

Number of claims for jobless
benefits filed in the Marysville
Center of the Ohio Bureau of
Unemployment Compensa-
ton totalled "a for the week end
ing June 3, Manager Carl F. Rog-
ers reported today. This was a 10
increase compared with the week
ending May q.
Statewide, the total of IS,
claims was a decrease for the
thirteenth consecutive week and
less than half the number filed
in a week three months ago,
Seven of the eight major Ohio
metropolitan areas reported de-
creaSeS in the number of con-
tinued claims filed during the
week. Youngstown reported a
slight increase of only eig h
claims.
Claims filed by newly unem-
ployed workers for the week end
ing June3 totalled four decrease
of three compared with the week
ending May q.
Each initial claim is an appli-
cation for determination of bene-
fit rights. No checks are issued
until after continued" claim is
filed for a week of unempioy-
ment follwing a one-week wait
ing period after the initial appli-
cation.
For example, Mr.. Rogers ex-
planned, a newly unemployed
person must serve a full week as
waiting period and be unem-
ployed another full week before
he can claim that second week
for monetary benefits.
BY the end of the week in
which a claimant applies for his
first monetary benefits, about one
third will have received their
first checks. by the end of the
following week, Manager Carl
F. Rogers said, more than 80 per-
cent of all eligible claimants
filed during the previous week
will have been paid.
This is considerably better thar
the national requirement of is,
suing eight out of every 10 checks
within two weeks in which {
claimant files his claim for {
check, Manager Carl F. Rogers
said.

By Gordon B. Hancock for AM
Our Moral Abdication -

A nation, like a man, is no
stronger than it's morals. Future
of nations like the futures of men
are determined by their morals.
There is no future for an immoral
man; but neither is there any
future for an immoral nation.
The wreckstrewn highway of the
ages is Uttered with the remains
of nations and men who rose to
glorious heights, and because of a
breakdown in their morals they
persisted from the earth.
When that great social prophet,
the late Walter Rausenbusch,
wrote his classic "Christianity and
The Social Crisis, he made it
plain that the crisis mentioned
was a moral crisis. He prophesied
that unless the church could bols-
ter the morals of the nations to
resist the impact of an immortality
that civilization was fostering
upon them, our decline was in
evitable.
Oswald Spengler intimated as
much in his decline of The
West" The gloom which has char
acterized the greater number OF
social prophests, has had it's gene
sis in the fear that there would
be a moral breakdown and that
rapid disintegration would follow.
There is nothing in the complexity
of our civilization to warrant the
belief that we shall stand up
where Rome and Greece fell down.
The very fact that there has
never appeared upon the earth a
nation or a people that could long
stand prosperity lends credence to
the intimation that Western civil
lization is already decadent and
this is indicated not by any lack
of material welfare or intellectual
deficiency. 1t is rather indicated
by the every where apparent di-
cline in moral stamina.
Craftsmanship is giving away to
politics. Morals are more and more
subordinated to money. Expedi-
ency is the major premise of too
great a part of human behavior.
Mass news production and dissem-
nation is making towards of men
and the old willingness to believe
with the blood is a thing of the
past. Men are more concerned
with being popular than with being
right. This is easily the most IRA
&c aspect of the moral life of the
Twentieth Century world.
To be more explicit, the reg
nant standing of the United States
in the commity of the nations
hinges somehow about its strong
moral position among these ma
tons. More powerful than its
natural resources has been it's
moral stamina with it's roots in
the teachings of the Bible and
