the plan adopted by the Conser-
vancy Districts three directors.
The protests came from resi-
dents of Delaware and Union
counties who felt the construction
of the proposed Mill Greek dam in
Delaware county would work ex-
treme hardships on them.
The plan was supported by
groups from Circleville, Chilli
cothe and other downstream areas
who would benefit by the flood
protection afforded by the Mill
Greek dam.
In addition to the Mill Creek
dam, the plan includes construc-
ton of reservoirs at Bucyrus, Tiff
fin, Delaware, Big Darby Creek,
Deer Greek, Paint Greek, and
Rocky Fork.
There also would be local pro-
lection devices such as levies and
channel improvements at Ere

He's Busy Man!
County Agent Reports on Work
OF His Office During Past Year

Frank Greeneisen, county agent,
in his report for last year has out

busy and also tells brief of the
work of number of farm groups.

Community Responsibility Discussed
By Mills on Ohio Wesleyan Series

never finishes anything he starts.
However, we must not be
skeptical of all forms of leader
ship" he added, cor we would get
nowhere"
Admitting that he is a believer
in '"do it yourself" philosophy,
Mr.. Mills explained that we must
''sit in the cheering section once
in while rather than play on the
team all the time.
Good Followers Needed
Nothing is SO valued as the
things we do ourselves" he de-
clared, 'But don't try to do it all.
Good followers are aways need
ed". He aso remarked that "see-
ing what needs to be done is as
important as doing it."
Directing his remarks at the
students, Mr.. Mills described a
cross-section of ''the types of
folks you are going to meet in
your communities" as follows:
/. The man who is successful IN
business, has lived in many places,
and is not too impressed by any
thing.
2. The man who is interested
only if he can run things his own
way and who is unwilling to work
with others.
3. The ''me too" type who is
anxious to go before he knows
where he is going.
4. The opposite type who is ov-
erly cautious.
5. The man who prefers not to
be bothered.
6. The widow" type who is
fine but whose only contribution
to the community is ''just being
respectable" "
7. The man who lends a willing
hand, likes people, takes pride in
his community, and can be a
leader or willing follower.
Surplus of Most
"A community can't stand a
surplus of the first six and there
always has been small minority
of the seventh" Mr.. Mills said.
Fortunately" he added, "the
latter can draw others to his side"
Mr.. Mills also told the students,
every calamity is not the end of
the world but a chance to contri-
butte something. A life withdrawn
from all service to others become
useless"
Mr.. Mills is 1919 graduate and
trustee of Ohio Wesleyan.

Maple Syrup
Season Has
Again Opened

It's maple syrup time again in
Union county and Frank and Les
lie Smith of Milford Center are
hard at work processing the clear
suger water tapped from their
$50 trees into golden thick syrup.
Time was when most every
farmer made his own syrup and it
was the occasion for a general
family party, with the youngsters
tasting syrup samples from every
batch, and mother making maple
candy while father kept stoking
up the wood fires to boil down the
sap.
The Smiths camp obtained its
first run of sap Monday, follow
ing the freezing and thawing
weather. BY Tuesday afternoon
enough sap had been collected and
processed to make IS gallons of
syrup.
1T takes about 49 gallons of
sap for one gallon of syrup" Mrs.
Smith said. Last year, was bad
year for the trees and we only
had about 140 gallons of syrup.
We hope to do better this year"
The Smiths use a modern dis
tiller for condensing the suger
water, with the fire usually of
wood. When asked if any other
fuels except wood are used, Mrs.
Smith said, Rubber tires are the
best. But they're not too easy to
find right now"

Re-Dyeing Prints

Is it possible to re-dye printed
fabrics? Yes, and the result often
creates a highly desirable color
effect. The print design, however,
cannot be removed and will show
through even when dyed black.
Darker dye-colors are recommend
ed by the bureau, therefore, so as
to subordinate the original print
pattern as much as possible.

left the county drenched in two
inches of rainfall which is the
heaviest downpour recorded in
24-hour period since 1948, accord
ing to the records of Russell Banks,
local observer for the United
States weather bureau.
The area was deluged with a
similar downpour Feb. IA 1948

Dear Sir:
The more read the Blade the surprised
get / wonder what is wrong with Willys- Overland.
Mr. Block is continually criticizing something done
at the WHY'S plant
AS WHY'S worker and union member wonder
if Mr.. Block has taken time out to have
porters make spot check in other parts of the
try how union elections are held. wonder if he
realizes that elections here the same order as
in other unions throughout the country and follow
ing the UAW Constitution n, 5l
Mr.. Block who runs his newspaper has nothing to
do with the WHY'S Overland plant and nothing to do
with the UAW-CIO Mr.. Block who does not have
contract with the UAW for his workers seems to be
worried about the UAW-CIO and its leadership.
Could 1T be- MIR. Block, that you trying to influ
ence the elections in the UAW CIO? Could it be your
prime motive to satisfy employers huge profit?
There must be some reason why Mr.. Block is SO
interested in the UAW-CIO. No mans hatred could
be so great without any reason for it and use the
extremes and unfounded stories paper regardless
of thought for decency or truth.
Why don't Mr.. Block leave us alone and take more
interest for the underdog who have been the people
living in various communities of Toledo where there

Dear Sir:


Mr. Cyrus Martin, in his first article on Local IL
elections stated that he helped ferry carloads of
voters to Local IL headquarters whenever they
needed. It strange to and imagine to lot
of other union people, that "Toots' should all of
udden brslg this fact out in the daily newspaper
the bad things about Local IL elections Why
didn't he if he felt this wrong try to put stop
to it when he the payroll of the international
Union? Why does he bring this fact out now that
he is just a plain, ordinary worker in plant like
millions of others?
He said that in the last WHY'S Overland Unit
meeting he tried to straighten things out about
the election Certainly, being member of the WHY'S
Overland Unit he had every right to speak his piece
long before this but he took the opportunity
because as long he being paid for his job as
International Representative, everything fine and
dandy-he didn't see anything wrong with the way
things
Is all this because Toots likes the sound of extra
to work in the shop, his pay has been somewhat re-
duced from International Representatives pay is
this way of compensating for his reduction in pay?
What will you do Mr. Paul Block, Jr, when you find
out that this has all been a hopeless hoax?
Surely Toots could have found other re-
especially the Toledo Blade Why didn't he air them
something in return for giving the Toledo Blade
great big Scoop?

Editor:
last Sunday, Feb. H. 1851 opened your paper
to procure the comics which of fairly good calber
but Lo and Behold the headlines the first page
of the section took all the enjoyment out of the
hunt for the comic pages. What foul taste these
headlines and the article ITSELF left in my mouth.
On Toots Martins story all say is that
there is great of intelligence lacking in the
drippings of Martins He has axe to grind and
the only conclusion anyone reach after reading
that article is the old expression "Sour Grapes"
The person who wrote the article for Toots Mar
tin in the Sunday edition did nothing to better his
following considering the fact that Toots has
structve criticism to offer. The writer give
nothing in facts the reader if there is nothing in
barrel to drain out the old saying 1T is the empty
barrel that makes the most noise' fits Martin

Dear Sir:
Being union man, with. real unionism at heart /
can't help but get quite antagonized at the attacks
made against Richard Gosser. Blheimer, Bolman,
Gray and the rest of their group surely have
in thousand ways that real unionism means nothing
to Them the way they have been attacking their lead
err but 'Toots' Martin really floors 1t isn't too
long ago that if you much said "Gosser is
good, you could expect punch in the kisser from
"Toots". Now ask you "Toots", through the medium
of your friend Paul Block why the sudden change in
your feeling about Dick. 1t couldn't be because you
are no longer working for him, could it? All the
things the Blade has accused Gosser of to date
quite far back. Do you mean that man who claims
to be wonderful you could possibly work
for such person you and Paul Block to think
he is 1t to if he did all the things you claim,
and you continued working with him, you were just
guilty. Why didn't you do your squawking then and
not wait until after you quit?
Your latest write ups in the Sunday and Monday

workers at WHY'S Believe 'Toots" you had better
start collecting if have not already done bet

So Paul Block Jr. has come back to life. For
while his paper really printed things of interest to all
the people in Toledo little about the gas, situa
tion Now 10 and behold he comes out with very,
very special feature story, Cyrus Martins Own
Story"
know that space will not permit writing
everything would like to write about this very ex-
elusive story but there few things in it that have
made me mad enough to write this letter Since when
is Overland meeting dominated by stewards i
think have attended just about many meetings
as Toots Martin and believe me when say when IT
to the roll call of Stewards which happens at
the very end of a meeting, the hall is practically
empty if those people had all been stewards
they would have stayed long enough to answer the
roll call No, those people real union members,
the kind that attends their meetings and also find
time to down to vote They not too busy to go
down to Local IL hall to cast their vote they
interested enough in their union to pick their own
officers can't understand what "Toots' has to worry
about now that they have their great big Equity
League. Surely, Toots they not too tired to 60
down to the hall and cast their ballot Too bad your
people are busy with their families to get over to
Winthrop Street. How do they find the time to at
tend your meetings? You had better actvize your
people little better, Toos if you to beat our
guys the real union people at WHY'S.

Dear Sir: ...5
The Toledo Blade editorial last week pretty
silly Tt makes Paul Block Junior look though
everything is wrong unless he figured it out himself
We had democratic union meeting and know be-
cause was there Toots Martin, he said his piece and
Chuck Ballard he said his and then there vote.
That's the way democracy runs, and maybe that's
what Paul Block Junior doesn't like, democracy.
But what we do at WHY'S Overland is of
Blocks business so why get excited about what he
says anyway?

I don't think all of this baloney in your Blade
about Martin and the Local IL elections means any
thing except that Paul Block Junior trying to affect
the election of delegates to the UAWCIO convention.
He has set himself up the self-apponted arbi-
traitor of what is good for the workers in Toledo.
Has he given the workers at the Toledo Blade and
the Toledo Times nice company paid pension and
company paid insurance policy like ours? Has he
taken of the people who work for him? If not,
leave alone.

Why is it that nobody to think anything is

just interested in my day to day job and my family
and country and church.

Dear Sir:
If Mr. Block hates Mr.. Gosser so bad he has to
keep hammerng away at him, than it means this little
publisher certainly knows how to nurse hate for
long time.
But wonder if it is only that. Mr.. Block has
with the unit nothing to do with union None of
with the unit nothing to do with odr union None of
this is any of his business.
So maybe what it's all about is just that Mr.. Block
is doing job for the manufacturers, to get in good
with them SO they will help him keep making mil
lion dollars profit every year.
If that is why he keeps stirring things up it is
certainly not very grown way to go about things

Dear Sir: T.
According to the Toledo Blade and Paul Block
Junior there is nothing good about WHY'S Overland
at all. First your paper says the Jeeps good
Then you say the management is no good Then again
your papers say Mr. Gosser who from WHY'S
Overland and who negotiated contracts he's
good.
And >now if understand that t O r j a l last
Wednesday, the workers good, because
they voted the way they felt like voting at unit
meeting and the way Paul Block Junior and Toots
Martin wanted them to vote
Maybe the good wages they pay at WHY'S Overland
under the UAW-CIO contract Mr.. Gosser got are ]
good either according to Mr. Block Your advertisers

amounts to nice tidy sum of money every week. too.
