BURTON - Mrs. Ina Taylor
is quitting. The board of direc-
tors of the Geauga Historical
museum today are searching
for someone to replace her
come next April 1st. Replace
her? That's almost impossible.
To most Geauga folks she is
an indispensable part of the
museum. But Mrs. Taylor is
80 and the board of directors
last Monday night accepted her
resignation.
The following article on Mrs.
Taylor is reprinted from the
Republican-Record of two years
ago:
"More interesting and just as
quaint as any display in the
Geauga Historical museum is
the charming little white haired
lady who presides over the es-
tablishment. Mrs. Ina Taylor,
who has been custodian of the
museum since it was started
twelve years ago, is just as
old-fashioned, just as dignified,
and much more interesting than
any of her displays.
can actress on a stage plays
her part for a couple of hours,
But Mrs. Taylor seems to carry
on for all the twenty-four hours
in the day. She is always plea
SAINT; always entertaining; never
too tired apparently, to tell
one of her vast stock of stories
about the antiques on display,
"And the twenty-four. hours
day, is not just a rhetorical
statement. The museum is her
home as well as her job and
more than once she has been
awakened in the dead of night
about some museum matter.
"One of the classic events OF
the year is her annual report
to the members of the Histori-
cal society at their annual
meeting. In her chirping, bird
like voice, she translates dry
attendance figures into inter
esting stories about folk who
have visited her.
Mrs. Taylor is so enthusiastic
about the museum and her
work, it is difficult to learn
anything about her, personally
Her life is so completely con-
nected with the museum, that
any questions invariably bring
references to her work.
"She recalls how she used to
sit in the old school house and
wonder, What will I do here
all day long with so few mu-
scum pieces to show?' Then
suddenly things began to come
in until we couldn't do their
beauty justice in such small
quarters
" Then Mrs. Taylor went
on, came the evening when

be turned on every night be-
tween Christmas and New
Years, during which time judg-
ing will take place.

Counts On Chef
Oden, The Toe"
BY KEN MURPHY in Sept II
PIONEER PRESS

There's going TO be more work
for The Toe" this year than Just
booting points after tOuchdowns
and kicking field goals.
THE Toe. in case you've for
gotten since last years college
football season. is St. Thomas col
lege's Chet Oden. who owns the
most highly educated toe in State
college circles in years.
Oden's ability to kick points
after touchdowns and send field
goals spinning between the up
rights will be used at every op-
portunity. but so will his speed.
One Of the faster backs in the
conference. Chet will be given a
thorough trial at the left half
back position. Coach Frank Deig
isn't blessed with much experience
ed backfield talent this year and
Oden and Len HoryZa, the Toms
brilliant quarterback appeared
destined to carry the load in the
pigskin Juggling department.
Much Of the Toms hopes for
winning season rest on the shoul-
ders of a good line and Deig fig
ures II that forward wall can hold
the opposition in check, Oden's
toe might decide a few games.
The first test comes Sunday aft
ernoon against a rough, expert
enced st. Ambrose team which
invades O'Shaughnessy field.
Three st. Thomas victories last
season can be credited directly to
Oden's unerring toe. Loras and st.
Olaf both were beaten 1913 and
Oden kicked both extra points in
each game. Then came the windup
with Hamline on a frozen, snow
flecked field. That one went TO
the Toms. 1914 on Oden's field
goal from the 15-yard line-a
boot from an angle that carried
25 yards over the cross bar. In the
game before that, he booted a
field goal against Manchester that

The other day 1 saw an advance
picture (started Wednesday at
the R.K.O. PAM called The
Ring, that still has me thinking.
The film, The Ring" is about a
Mesdcan-American boxer, Is won
derful.
I've always been a sucker for a
sentimental story but this had
more than that. II was moving
and realistic. 1t pictured the fight
game as II is. not as II exists in
the wild imagination of fiction
writers. Not pretty. not bad, but
real.
For once. there is a fight mana
ger, Gerald Mohr, who is not a
complete 1O09S louise. He is decent
and on the level with his Mexican
fighter.
The fighter is Lalo Rio. who
gets punched up plenty and won't
listen to advice TO quit the ring
and continues to fight because he
thinks that Is the only chance for
a Mexican boy Is in the prize
ring.
The main theme in this picture
has to do with discrimination. It's
by far the best fight picture I've
seen since Kirk Douglas starred
In The Champion" I thought
this film was magnificent, and
anyone who has hopes of ever
entering the ring as a vocation
should see IL by all means.
Judge Betty w. Washburn, who
Is Trustee Of our Boys Club tells
people and groups that she speaks
before Of the many worthy things
