COLUMBUS, Jan. II (INS)-
The State Supreme Court has a.
greed to rule upon the controver-
sial liquor permit freeze which has
barred issuance of any new per-
mits for almost three years.
The High Court agreed to hear
appeals filed by the Amvets and
Fosteria hotel owner James 2.
Tsantles from the refusal of the
liquor department to grant new Ii
quor permits. The lower courts al
ready have decided in favor of
the Tsantles and the Veterans
group.
This decision Wednesday to re-
view the case followed close, on the
heels of a recent Supreme Court
decision which dealt the freeze
blow. The Court held the Liquor
! Department must accept permit
applications.
Liquor Director William c. Bry-
ant fastened to point out that cat
the present time there is no change
in the permit situation" He said
the department would continue to
accept new applications but no
further changes would be made
pending the high court ruling.

on the part of "a of the 100 Ohio
Amvet posts, originally brought
action in the courts in the summer
of 1850.

kiIe To Attend
6. Of G. Meeting
AT Cleveland
Group To Discuss
Tax Reappraisal

Elton Kile, state representative
from Madison county, will take
part in discussion of the tax re-
appraisal in Ohio at the annual
meeting of the Ohio Chamber of
Commerce at Cleveland, Nov. 10
and 20.
Due to the great difference of
opinion on the method and formula
of the reappraisal, the Chamber of
Commerce has arranged for a
forum meeting to discuss the prob
lem, it was said.
Rep. Kile will represent the op-
position in the discussion. In op-
position Mr.. Kile will state his
views regarding the reappraisal
formula used by the Board of Tax
Appeals and the distribution of
school funds resulting from the
reappraisal.
Too, Kile will state his objec-
tions concerning the arbitrary
powers of the three man board of
tax appeals.
The reappraisal in Madison
county alone has cost the taxpay-
ers an approximate $4,000 thus
far, Rep. Kile said.
The Madison county valuation
will have been increased by over
$8,000000. The valuation in 1949
was approximately $26,000,000 and
the new appraisal has brought
this figure to almost $34,000,000.
The difference of $8,000,000 is al
most 800 more than 1949 values
according to available figures.

ported that Immediately after
publication of an appeal in Lon
don newspapers for volunteer
donors, the phone began to ring.
One donor (who goes every
time the unit comes to London)
in making her registration,
made also suggestion which
the committe deemed of suffici-
ent worth to be passed on to
prospective donors.
T he suggestion concerned
Dos and Don'ts" for such per-
sons. On occasions, volunteers
have been rejected because they
had not understood proper pro-
cedure, a member of the COM
mittee said. While many dom
ors know what is expected, for
those who are not aware that
there are certain special re-
quirements, recruiters desire
that some of the requirements
be given publicity, SO here are
a few of the most important.
The age limit is 1S to SO;
eight weeks should elapse be-
tween donations; do not arrive
at the bank hungry, but avoid
eating fatty foods at least six
hours before donating To fur
ther assure an accepted donor,
recommendations for foods that
can be eaten are: fruit, poached
or boiled egg, toast or bread
without butter, black coffee or
tea, for breakfast. Lean meat,
not fried, salad without dress
ing, fruit, black coffee or tea
for lunch, before an afternoon
donation. Avoid all dairy foods,
gravy, soups, pastries, candy,
nuts etc.
With ITS donors needed to
assure the quota of 125, the
committee is again asking that
registration be made with Miss
Ruth E. Armstrong, 1457-M3;
Mrs. M. E. Blackmore, 96, or
