Last month, we reviewed an
MGM album-packaged You're
Hearing George Shearing'' a
collection Of bop originals and
standards given that personalized
treatment so easily recognized as
the hallmark of the George Shear
ing Quintet. We noted, in passing,
that this marked the first Shear
ing album effort since he came
upon the American jazz scene.
We were wrong! Shearing had
an earlier offering loaded with
that distinctively palatable sty-
ling-one which was responsible
for the five deciding there was
something in their brand of
music worth putting before the
public.
Title of this packet was

leased under Discovery label. 1t is
still among the ''availables' at

Home Repairs
To Cost $4,000

Union County home owners
will spend an estimated $4,000
on repair and modernization of
non-farm dwellings during 1850,
according to estimates of the Tile
Council of America.
Lower wholesale prices for
building products and growing
stress on the use of quality mat
erials should greatly benefit Ohio
this year," declared A. T. Win
tersgrill, chairman of the Coun-
cils residential construction COM
mittee.
Approximately one out of ev-
cry three homes in this region will
be redecorated, either inside or
out, during the year, the report
showed. Heating equipment will
be overhauled or replaced in one
of every four dwellings, and one
of eight will have roofing work
done.
One of every 20 homes will
have plumbing repaired, bath
rooms tiled or showers installed,
the report said. Seven of every
100 dwellings are due for carpen-
try work, and one of every 20 for
interior repairs.
Home repairs will be easier
on the 1950Sfamily buget because
of a decline of more than per-
cent in wholesale costs of building
material, in comparison with
prices at the beginning of 1949,
the report said. Home owners al
so will be able to insist on such
quality materials as clay tile for
repair work, as a result of the
present buyers market, it point
ed out.
Expenditures throughout the
United States for home repair
and modernization this year will
total $2,35O,OOO,00O to $2,9OO,OOO.
000,the report estimated.

Gym Bond Issue
Passed Tuesday
By l5-VOie Edge
Needed go Percent
To Carry. Actual
Count 724 to asa

The bond issue for the en-
largement of the Marysville High
School gymnasium and the con-
struction of a music room was
carried by a margin of Is votes,
according to the unofficial total
released by the Board of Elec-
tions after Tuesdays primary.
The actual majority given the
issue was TIA to asa but a go
percent margin was necessary
under Ohio Law for an issue of
this kind.
The outcome was in doubt until
the last precinct reported in at
11:10 p. m. Up to that time the
issue had only a 81 percent ma
jority. Marysville 3A gave it a
1880 majority and brought it
over the so percent mark.
The bond issue will require
only .0865 of mill to pay it off.
Even with the passing of the $780,
900. issue, school taxes in Paris
Township will not be higher
than last year.
The reason for this is that the
last bond for the present Senior
High Building will be paid off
this year and that will no longer
be on the tax duplicate. In fact
the taxes, so far as the schools
are concerned, will be even less
than last year.
Extension of the gymnasium
will provide seating for an ad-
ditional 500 persons in the gym
thus overcoming the serious lack
of seats which has been apparent
for the past several seasons. II
will also provide toilet facilities
in the gym.
