Temperature Drops
To 7 Above Zero;
lH2-Inch Snowfall

The mercury dropped to seven
degrees Thursday morning after
reaching a low of II degrees
Wednesday for one of the cold
est spells of the year. At 10 a.
m. Thursday the thermometer has
risen to Is degrees.
Approximately an inch and
one-half of snowfall was record
ed Thursday morning by the To-
cal observer for the United
States Weather Bureau. The
mercury rose to a high of 81 de-
grees Wednesday, before today's
drop.
The Ohio Water Service Com
pany reported a leaking water
line on E. Fourth st. The break
was not of enough Importance
however, to merit repairing it
during the cold weather of
Thursday. 1t was not known
whether it was main or a SER
vice line.
Both the County and State
Highway garages report clear
roads in all sections of the coun-
{ yas there was not enough snow
to drift and there was no ice on
the road surfaces.

10000 Bushels of Corn
Shipped from County

Unon County Production &
Marketing Administration h S
just completed shipment of TO-
900 bushels of corn from commo-
dity credit-owned bins in the
county. Of this amount 10000
bushels was shipped from the bin
site at Milford Center, and TO-
900 from Unionville Center.
This represents Union County's
share of one million bushels re-
Gently allotted to the state for ex-
port, according to Wilby R. Coch-
enour, chairman of the P. M. A.
The $4,000 bushels now left in the
bins will be shipped as outlets
are found, which will probably
be export markets.

They account for much of the in
crease over previous years. Town
ship Indebtedness totaled 1888. 68
on Dec. 81, with only one town
ship being in debt.
Issues for village and county
schools totaled $298, 8,709,95 or al
most one-half of the totaled
bonded debt. The bonds covered
building sites, repairs, and equip
ment This sum is approximately
$4,000 less than the school in
debtedness on Dec. 81, 1048. New
bond issues for schools amounted
to $7061.25 which is more than
100000 less than last year. Re-
demptions were made in the sum
of $35, $50, cutting the debt down
considerably from the year be-
fore.

Coleman to Head
State Convention

William l.. Coleman, Marysville
attorney and Democratic candi-
date for State Senator from the
13th-3lSt district, will preside as
permanent chairman of the state
convention of the League of
Young Democrats, to be held in
Columbus Friday and Saturday,
March 3 and 4.
This is the third time Mr.. Cole
man has been invited to serve as
convention chairman for the
Young Democrats, and three
years ago, in November 1947, he
was chairman of the National
Young Democratic convention
which was held in Cleveland
Previous state conventions over
which Mr.. Coleman presided
were in 1912 and 1916.
At the l948 state convention, al
though he was not chairman, Mr..
Coleman appeared on the pro-
gram to give an address on the
history of the young democratic
organization and presided over
the traditional closing banquet.
This is Mr.. Coleman's second
attempt to win the office of state
senator. Two years ago, after
winning the Democratic nomina-
ton, he lost to d. A. Light, of
Logan County, by approximately
800 votes, the closest contest Mr.,
Light has had in any of the
seven times he was elected to
the Ohio Senate.
Prior to running for State Sena-
tor in 1948, Mr.. Coleman served
eight years as prosecuting attor-
ney from Union County, COM
piling an outstanding record of
public service.

Council to Make Choice
For this phase of the program,
Mr.. Greeneisen would like any
families interested in having Mr..
Gogcora with them for a week
to leave their names at the Ex-
tension Office. The County Ag-
gricultural Council, in its regular
meeting next Monday, will de-
eide which of those families in
terested will then play host to
the visitor.
Mr.. Gokcora will also spend
considerable time with Mr.
Greeneisen, working out of his
office, going with the County
Agent on field trips, and other
wise observing how the Extension
Service operates on the county
level.

so Auto Licenses
Sold First Day

Only so automobile licenses
were sold in Marysville on We'd
neSday, first day they were
placed on sale, according to John
D. McAuliffe, deputy registrar of
motor vehicles for this area.
Last year, there were 158 tags
sold on the first day-and-a-half,
which means early sales this year
are considerably slower than
1949.
Besides McAuliffe Bros. store
in Marysville, licenses may be
purchased in Union County at
Paul CurPs Chevrolet garage in
Redwood and from D. John
Smith, electrician, in Milford
Center.
McAuliffe'S, however, Is the
only agency in the county where
truck tags may be purchased.
The new tags which went on
sale Wednesday are $40 each for
passenger cars, regardless of size
or horsepower. The rates vary
for other vehicles, depending up
on weight and type.
The new tags must be on We
hicles by midnight March 81 and
there will be no extension of time
for use of the old plates, accord
ing to the state registrar. Mr..
Quinn predicted that 1850 auto
registrations will break all pre-
vious records. Passenger car reg
istrations in Ohio for the first
eleven months of 1949 were l4O,-
434 higher than in l948 and reg
iStrations of all kinds, 1884
higher The total is at peak OF
2,746, ,282, he said.

Plain City Church's 45-Yr. old Organ
Being Repaired; Contains 1000 Pipes

factured by The Vottler-Hettche
Organ Co., of Cleveland and
Erie, Pa. Mr.. Hunter, Mrs. d. L..
Sherwood, and Mrs. Tessa Guy
went to Indiana to see an organ
made by the aabeVe firm and
were convinced that this was
the company from which they
wished to buy the organ for
this church. In the winter of 1906
Mr.. and Mrs. L. B. Robinson, who
were staying in Erie, Pa, visit
ed, at the request of the commit
tee, the factory where the organ
was made.
Water Motor First Used
When the organ was installed
the air which goes through the
pipes making the sound was put
under pressure through the use
of a water motor. The handle
which controlled the Watervalve
still remains at the left of the
console, although the Wat e r
motor gave way in time to an
electrically driven organ blower.
There were times when the water
pressure was low or the water
was turned off and the organ
had to be pumped by hand.
The handle which enables one
to pump the organ manually is
located under the choir loft,
where MeSsrs. l.. B. Robinson,
Roy Woods, Ert Stevens and
Frank Mccullough had to go
sometimes during the service to
provide the air pressure for the
use of the organ. Mr.. Robinson
says that the handle is $50 short
that it can be manned by only
one person at a time. Therefore

Tentative arrangements are
being completed by the Union
County Extension service to play
host for several weeks to Kemal
Gokcora, director of the agricul-
tural economics sections in the
Ministry of Agriculture in Tur-
key.
County Agent Frank Green
eisen said Mr.. Gokcora is in the
United States to observe agricul-
tural operations in this country,
and to receive training which he
can take back with him to Tur-
key. Union County was selected
by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture to help in the disting-
uished visitors training program.
Part of the program would call
for Mr.. Gokcora to spend a week
each in two or more Union Coun-
ty farm homes, where he could

on both offense and defense all
