Since it is the rule in Germany

Ohio's Liberty Bell, a one-ton
replica of Americas famous sym
bol of freedom, will stop in Ma
rysville on June 30 in its tour
of the 88 counties, the Savings
Bonds Division for OHIO an
nounced today. The tour begins
May Is at Cincinnati.
The donation of six leading
copper companies, a steel COM
pany, an automobile manufactur-
er, an Ohio truck line, an oil
company, and the truck-mounted
unit with driver symbolizes the
independence Bond Drive in
Ohio. 1t begins May Is and runs
through July A. The bell is one
of So repIicas made in Annecy,
France, the World War II head
quarters of the French Under
ground movement.
The bell is of the same formula
with slight improvements-as
the original now in Philadelphia.
The only difference from Ameri-
cas- reverend relic is represent
ed by a painted line on the re-
plica, instead of the crack, and
there are no dents or chips in the
Ohio bell. Not only does it have
the same dimensions and appear
ance, even to the misalignment
of the letters on its crown, but
it has been so constructed as to
sound the exact note sounded by
the original bell. The tone was
duplicated, according to bellmas-
ters, after a long study of every
phase of the makeup of the Lib
erty Bell.
The bell was made in France
because the bellmakers there
were the only ones who could
be found who could produce the
bell in the limited time given
them and turn out the bells with
the lettering on the original
mold.
The bell unit is completely a
donation of industry and labor,
without cost to the Treasury De-
partment. The metals were con-
tributed by Anaconda, Kennicott
Miami, Phelps Dodge, American
Smelling and Refining, and

Lightning Strikes
Lorge Oak Tree:
No Other Dumuge

A powerful bolt of lightning
worked unusual havoc on a large
white oak on the Watkins road
about five miles out of Marysville

According to Howard Herd,
who lives in the neighborhood,
the tree, nearly 80 inches thick,
had all its bark stripped out from
30 feet above the ground to the
top by the bolt which split it
apart. The leaves of the tree had
shrivled up within 90 minutes
after being struck.
According to a survey of local
insurance agencies no reports of
property damage were turned in
as a result of Wednesday nights
