D. {. Red Cross Opens
Training in First Aid
For A-Bomb Injuries

The District Red Cross has be-
gun training course in atomic
medicine and civilian defense
first aid methods.
Nine men from the Washington
area comprise what is described
as the first class of its kind in
the country. 1t is under the
direction of Daniel A. Leonard,
director of safety services for the
District Red Cross Chapter.
These men and three profess
sional staff workers are the
initial members of an instructor
training group which is expected
to grow to 1000 by winter.
The volunteer group is meeting
twice a week at Walsh House, 1920
Massachusetts, avenue NV.
Basic Study Stressed.
At present it is concentrating on
basic first aid techniques, on the
probability that Is per cent of the
casualties would be radiation cases,
while the other IS per cent would
be suffering from the usual ef-
fects of an explosion-cutS from
flying glass and debris and burns.
In addition there would be the
initial job or moving injured per-
sons out of further danger.
Complete first aid training must
encompass all kinds of illnesses
and injuries, a spokesman ex-
planned, since it hay be impossible
to get doctors Immediately.
The Red Cross chapter hopes
to set up six clinics for review in
struction of 200 trained first aid
instructors. With the IL men
now training, they would then
train other instructors.
Atom Experts to Aid.
The Army will supply atomic
experts to explain methods of
preventing radiation injuries to
the rescuers, the chapter has been
informed.
1t would take an estimated
100000 trained workers to do the
emergency first aid and rescue
work following an atomic bomb
attack on a city the size of Wash
ington, according to experts.
Groups or individuals may ap-
ply for instructor courses, to meet
either at Walsh House or at meet
ing places selected by organiza-
tionS,

as committee counsel.
"Our committee invited the en-
tire membership of the Accounts
Subcommittee of the House Ad-
ministration Committee to be pres
ent and hear the joint report made
to our committee by the investi-
gators. The chairman and one
member of the Accounts Subcom-
mittee did attend and hear the
report.
Our committee has considered
the report and recommendation
based upon it and have unani-
mously voted complete confidence
in the committee counsel and have
unanimously requested him to
continue to act in that capacity.
We are pleased and satisfied with
the services he has rendered to
our committee"

The Korean war is going to give
Washington a hospitality job
reminiscent of World War II.
The areas present uniformed
population of 10000 is expected
Ito jump soon to three or four
times that number. Military Off
cials are calling for a World War
II kind of recreation setup to keep
the GIs busy in their spare time.
Three million dollars is prob
ably a conservative guess as to
what was spent to keep service
men and women happy here dur
ing the war. Practically nothing
lis being spent now, which means
the job of rebuilding must start
almost from scratch.
Fortunately, there already is
new organization, ready to pitch
in and tackle it-either the whole
thing or the lions share that was
carried by the well-known USO
during the war.
Formed Months Ago.
Called Associated Services for
the Armed Forces, the new agency
was formed three months ago as
The USO's "peacetime successor. :"
1t got the Endorsement of Presi-
dent Truman and more recently
of a group of top defense leaders
injecting at the Pentagon.
ASAF is not so pretentious as
the USO. The latter, whose in
Iitials meant United Service Or
ganizations," was formed in 1912
by six national agencies-the
YMCA. YWCA, Salvation Army,
Travellers Aid Society, Jewish
Welfare Board and National
C tholic Community Service.
Nationally, it raised and spent
several hundred millions before it
|disbanded last January.
ASAF embraces three Of the
same agencies-the Armed Forces
YMCA, an affiliate of the regular
YMCA; the Jewish Welfare Board
and the National Catholic Com
munity Service.
In Washington, the Armed
Forces YMCA leases Office space
and uses building facilities at the
Central YMCA, 1885 G street
NV. The Jewish Welfare Board,
with headquarters at 1887 Massa-
chusetts avenue NV, uses facili-
ties there and at the Jewish Com

Recreati0nal, Spiritual.
The Armed Forces YMCA also
carries on a small-scale program
at the Twelfth Street (Negro)
Branch of the YMCA.
ASAF nationally is set up to
support "off-post service clubs and
area programs to meet the religi-
Gus, spiritual, educational and
recreational needs of men and
women of the armed forces" Its
national board includes Navy Sec
retary Matthews. Nationally it will
seek $50 million to operate next
year, and by charging nominal
fees for some services, it hopes to
have an operating budget of near
ly twice that.
Local ASAF chairman is Joseph
D. Kaufman, retired merchant and
an enthusiastic worker in such
organizations as the Community
Chest here.
Most of the ASAF money, both
here and in the rest of the country,
will be sought from Community
Chests. Mr.. Kaufman's group has
asked the Chest for $4,000 for
1851. Approval of the request is
pending.
Currently the local unit is run
ming chiefly on money left over
when USO disbanded-a meager
$4,000. The member agencies
have had to supplement this with
their own funds, and even this
has left the amount entirely in
adequate, according to Mr.. Kauf-
man.

Nevertheless, military authori-
ties say the three agencies are
performing an essential task.

Four Of Marysville's Six Boxers
Win Golden Gloves Matches Thursday

Four of the six Marysville en-
trants in the Springfield News
and Sun Golden Gloves boxing
tournament advanced TO the
semi-finals with wins over first
round opponents Thursday night
in the Memorial Hall.
Marysville's two middIeweight
contenders, Bob Patterson and
Red Grimes, both won impressive
victories. Grimes was pitted a.
gainst Nick Van Eancheff, of
Springfield, in the third fight of
the 20-bout card.
The referee stopped the fight
after 1:30 of the second round af-
ter Red had put Eancheff on the
canvas and he was obviously
beaten. Red is one of the greatest
crowd pleasers in the tournament
and when he fights he has the en-
tire house cheering him on.
Bob Patterson met Robert Will.

fight of the evening and out
pointed him easily in three
rounds. Patterson constantly
landed hard punches to his op.

rounds.

High scoring Chuck Shields, OF

Formal opening of the Colonial
Hatchery here will be held Feb.
10. Jim BoWin, manager of the
plant, announced this week.
This Marysville plant handles
sales for the entire northeastern
United States.
Home office of the Colonial
organization is Pleasant Hill,
Mo. In all, there are six regional
centers in operation in the U. S.
The northeastern district covered
by the Marysville plant includes
all states north of Kentucky and
east of Indiana, including Mary
land, Virginia, and even extends
into the Carolinas.
The company mas operated a
plant in Ohio since 1910. Prior
to the establishment of the
Marysville office, it was located
in Marion. This location was con-
sidered ineonvenient, however,
and the Company spent some time
in search for new location.
When the large cement block
building owned by Carl Colemen
on the Columbus rd., became
available they leased it.
Came Here Last September
In September of 1949 Colonial
established the plant here and
is now preparing for the heavy
season ahead.
The Colonial Hatchery depends
on supply flocks for their hatch
ing eggs and are desirous of OBJ
tanning more such flocks in the
Marysville area.
The plant here has the capacity
to produce the staggering sum
of 650,000 chicks every three
weeks and they want to get as
many of these eggs as possible
from local flocks.
Approximately half of their
present supply flocks are in the
Marysville area at this time and
Mr.. Bowin added that they are
still short of flocks. The idea of
the company is to centralize their
buying as much as possible. The
company runs truck routes to
pick up the eggs from the farms
supplying them.
Worlds Largest Producers
Colonial is the worlds largest
producer of baby chicks. Besides
Matching chicks the local hatchery

Illness Cuts
School Pupils

Attendance in the lower six
grades of the county schools has
been slashed almost one third by
the wave of colds, flu, and other
ailments that have been sweep
ing the county, County Supt.
Gale w. Baldwin reported today.
Union Local school, at Milford
Center, has been hardest hit dur
ing the past week. An unusu-
ally large percentage of the pu-
pills there have been absent.
Supt. H. w. Carr, of Marysville
Schools reports that, while there
has been large amount of this
kind of sickness, attendance is
mo less than normal for this
time of year.
A Marysville physician said to-
day the illness is a virus infec-
ton, similar to what was form
erly called the grip. 1t is very
contagious, he added, urging
everyone, and especially any one
who is not feeling we'll, to stay
out of crowds as much as poss-
Sible.

Collections in this years March

to run considerably ahead of last
year, Mrs. Aida Davis, chairman
of the Union County chapter of

fantile paralysis, said today.
"We hope to exceed $4,000

$1,000 raised during the emergen-
cy campaign last fall"
Approximately $500 was

Kiwanians raised approximately
$3.50 through their canvass of
business places in town, while
the Lions club brought in anoth-
er $500 in their house-to-house

School Children Contribute
In addition to this, school
pupils have been contributing

make a donation of some sort to
the March of Dimes program. A
special party to raise money for
the campaign is planned by I'm

BackuS Enters
Not Guilty Plea

Clarence Backus, 25, of Marion,
pleaded not guilty to charges of
econd degree manslaughter
when arraigned before Justice
William SnodgraSs, Thursday af-
ternoon. The charges were filed
in connection with the deaths of
Rosemarie Yeager and her moth
er, Leona Yeager, of Columbus,
after an automobile accident on
the Marion road on Jan. %.
No date has been set by Prose
cutting Attorney Luther Liggett
for the meeting before the grand
jury but it will probably be
some time before it is called due
to the lack of cases and the fact
that all persons charged are out
on bond. Backus was placed un-
der $1,000 bond which he furnish
ed and was released.
Backus suffered face cuts and
bruises in the accident in which
the two women were killed and
Dane Yeager, driver of the other
car and father and husband of the
deceased, received severe injur-
les and shock that kept him in {
critical condition for some time
Prosecuting Attorney Liggett
was not able to see him before
Wednesday evening and it was
then that he signed the affidavit
against Backus.
The second degree manslaugh.
ter charge facing Backus can re-
suit in prison sentence of from
one to 20 years if he is found
guilty or may be treated as q
misdemeanor with a penalty oi
80 days to six months in Jail and
a fine of not more than $500. The
Court has the full power to de.
eide on the treatment of the
charge.

School Employees
To Get Training

Group training for two groups
in the public school system are
being planned by the local public
health sanitarans, according to
DR.. Robert A. Vogel, district
health commissioner, in a state
ment today. Group training in
hygiene and enviromental sani-
tation is a challenge being ac-
cepted by the Health Department.
Custodians performing janitor-
ial services in schools and other
public buildings have had but lit
tie opportunity for special train
ing in their fields. A too-common
belief on the part of the public
is that the custodian only needs
to know how to fire the furnace
and sweep the floors. 1t only
takes a serious moment to realize
that the care, operation and
maintenance of a 100000 build
ing is serious responsibility.
The provision of favorable
environment for the children in the
schools is of No. ] Importance. If
the child does not have warmth
enough for comfort, light enough
to read, nor safe drink of water,
he cannot absorb the educational
process. Adequate know-how for
the custodian has a relationship
to Health, says DR.. Vogel.
Another group in the school
system, often neglected from a
special training viewpoint, is the
school luncheon personnel. They
also have an important part in
the school health program and are
being considered for group train
ing in food sanitation.

withdrew rather than face Marys-
vile fighters. Both Red Grimes
and Bob Patterson were to fight
two bouts Thursday but their
second opponents withdrew from
the tournament.
In the light heavy class one of
the local boys won and another
lost a close three round decision.
Ralph Palmer scored the only
knockout of the evening when he
floored highly rated George Bak-
er Jr. of Springfield in the first
round. The two boys slugged it
out for more than a minute with
Palmer taking more blows than
his opponent when the climax
came.
It was a hard right to the
Springfield boys jaw that did the
trick. Baker was simply unable
to trade punches with the Marys-
vile boy and stand up.
John Printz dropped his light
heavy bout in close three round
decision to Ralph Bailey of
Springfield. Printz lost the first
round badly and began to get the
range in the second. In the third
he repeatedly rocked the Spring
field boy but it was too late in
the oppinion of the judges.
Hugh Campbell upheld Marys-
vilyle in the lightweight division
with T, K. o. over Roy Kelley
of Springfield in the third round
The referee stopped the fight af
ter 40 seconds of the final rounc
! as Kelley was taking a bad beat
ing from Hugh and only hang
ing on. This is Hugh's first yeaI
and he showed a great deal O
promise Thursday.
Loren Grimes lost the heavy
weight bout to Adam Scott, O
Xenia, by a T. K. o. in 1:43 of the
first round. Scott, a giant 26E
FOUNDER, simply manhandlec
Grimes and threw him to the
floor three times. He was unable
to land any punches to speak of
but Manager Cliff Brown sale
that it was useless to continue
the bout.
