Public Showing Greater Interest
In Clean Food Stores, Restaurants

Public interest in food store
cleanliness and sanitation is be-
coming increasingly evident in
community after community in
Ohio. AS a result of this public
demand for cleanliness, the de-
mand for quality milk and food
is becoming an accepted fact.
Housewives expect cleanliness of
the store when purchasing foods
or will do their shopping else
where.
Consumer Interest is the
driving force behind the 1949
Board of Health Restaurant
Code, said DR.. Robert A. Vogel,
Union County Health Commits
sioner in an interview today. "On
June IL and 18 of this year $500
people were served daily in the
25 restaurants surveyed in Union
County. This is another reason
why we are asking for continued
support and cooperation of the
restaurant owners and operators

Enumeration Shows Five
More of School Age Here

School enrolment in Union
County when classes resume this
fall will be only five more than
the 1949 figure according to the
annual school enumeration re-
port for the county. This report
is prepared in the office of Coun-
ty Auditor F. T. McCurdy for
the State Department from fl
cures obtained in each school dis
trict by local enumerators.
The enumeration, listing every
boy and girl in Union County be-
tween the ages of S and l8, shows
there are 1865 children of school
age at the present time. This is
five more than the total of 1860
in last years census. In 1948
there were 3730 students record
ed.
The county schools count re-
mained exactly the same, 3078
each year. The five-pupil increase
came in the Marysville Exempted
Village Schools where the count
jumped from 882 to 887. Seven
of those listed in the county
schools attend Bokescreek Local

The question frequently asked
of Health Officials is, ''How can
/, as a citizen or travelor, choose
a good restaurant" The answer
is not simple since so many hu-
man factors are involved. Some
people are swayed by thorough
cooking and heavy seasoning,
others like rare meats and un-
salted vegetables, still others pre-
fer a meal-time sense of happi-
ness and well being.
Sanitation Important
These are individual prefer
ences. The important features are
that every dining and bar room
present a wholesome and tidy
appearance and that the staff of
workers be trained in the pre-
paration and serving of foods and
drinks in a sanitary manner.

Civilian Defense Program Planned;
Union in 25-County Second Area

Marysville and Union County
are included in the 25-county
Second area in the proposed Ohio
civilian defense plan that divides
the state into five areas.
In announcing the plan Gov.
Lausche said he would discuss
Ohio's proposed regulations with
his cabinet Tuesday before they
are filed with the secretary of
state and goes into effect.
Under the civil defense act
passed by the legislature last
year, the regulations, when ap-
proved by the governor have
the force and effect of laws"
They were drawn up by Adj
Gen. Leo M. Kreber,. civil de-
fense director and commander of
the 37th division, Ohio National
Guard; 1t. Col. William E. War
ner, executive assistant defense
director and the adjutant gen
erals staff.
The proposed plan divides the
state into five defense areas, and
provides for the assignment of
various duties to staff members
under each area director. Besides
Union County the second area
includes:
Athens, Belmont, Coshocton,
elawar Fairfield, Fayette,
Franklin, Gallia, Guernsey, Hook
ing, Jackson, Knox, Lawrence,
Liking, Madison, Perry, Picka-
way, Ross, Vinton and Washing
ton.
The tentative regulations pro-
vide that:
Area commanders will repre-
sent the state defense director in
coordinating and assisting local
VIGIL defense directors.
Each board of county COM
missioners will appoint a de-
fense director for unincorporated
areas within its county and each
mayor will appoint a similar of
fIcer.
Mayors and county commits
sioners within a county, how
ever, may name a director for the
entire county and many allocate
funds deemed necessary to set
up and operate a county defense
organization.
Area commanders are empoW-
cred to coordinate the resources
of all local defense directors in
emergencies.
Each area commander will have
a staff that includes an executive

Mrs. 0rville Hall
Infant Grandson
Are Victims
Two Others Injured
In Tragedy Saturday
AT Erie Crossing

A middle-aged lady and her in
fant grandson met instant death
and two other persons were in
jured when the automobile in
which they were riding was
struck by freight train on the

p. m. Saturday when the l949
Plymouth sedan driven by Mrs.
Marvin Hall stalled in the rail-
road tracks directly in the path
from the car seconds before it
fro mthe car seconds before it
was hit by the train.
BY the time Sheriff Walter T.
Galloway and DR.. Malcolm Mac
Ivor, coroner, could get to the
scene of the accident, bodies of
the two victims had been re-
moved and the injured taken to
the hospital. Consequently, the
authorities could only surmise
what had happened from stories
Of eye witnesses.
Witnesses Account
AS near as could be immed-
lately determined, this is prob
ably what happened:
Mrs. Hall, driving north on the
county road through Claiborne,
apparently stopped to shift gears
to cross the seldom-used track.
She seemed to have trouble in
shifting, and the car stalled on
the track. She looked up in time
to see the east-bound freight
bearing down on their car, and
leaped to safety seconds before
the train hit.
Mrs. Orville Hall and Shirley
Hall were thrown from the car
by the impact while the baby's
body was still inside the car.
Witnesses were T. J. Tobbe,
manager of the Union County
Farm Bureau Cooperative AS
sociation, and l.. l.. RoSette and
Willard Ferrell, employees of the
Farm Bureaus grain elevator in
Claiborne. All were standing in
front of the elevator when the
tragedy occurred, powerless to do
anything to prevent it.

Press dispatches indicated that
''non-divisional" units of the Ma
tional Guard will be called at
once. Such a move would take
the Marysville Company because
it is a part of the 166th Regiment
al Combat Team, not attached to
the 37th Division.
Unofficial reports state that
Guardsmen will be given 80 days
in which to "Straighten up their
affairs" after being alerted. At
the end of 80 days, they would
presumably be taken for active
duty wherever the Army sees fit
to send them.
Journal Reporter to Go
In preparation for such an an
ticipated call, the Heavy Tank Co.
members spent several hours on
the Fairgrounds Sunday afternoon
cleaning and overhauling their
tanks and other equipment. So
intense was their program yester-
day that the Company'S cooks
even prepared and served the
noon meal on the Fairgrounds so
they would lose no more time
than necessary.

called into active duty from Un-
ion County will be The Journals

 Yet, in the gripping romantic drama. Ladd solves the conflict which rages within him with all the emotional impact and suspenseful action contained in his former slam bang thrillers. For this Ladd reaches new heights of acting greatness in film unusual in theme, stirring in content.
 Beyond Glory" is a story of oui )wn turbulent times, told. in authen- ic location shots, against the never changing. tradition-bound back ground of West Point. There a man and the institution itself, go on srial, the former trying himself for the murder of his wartime com handing officer, the school defend~ ng itself against charges of unaem- cratic practices.
