Group TO Send Swiss
Cattle To Near East

The dedication of the purebred
Brown Swiss cattle which are to
be shipped to Iran by Heifer PROG
iect, Inc, New Windsor, Maryland,
has been set back one day to Oc-
tober 31st. The ceremony is sched-
uled to be held at pm. on the
Lynn Rohrbaugh farm located
west of Delaware, Ohio on Route
203. Limitations of facilities at the
port of New Orleans required the
postponement. Sailing date still re-
mains November 4.
Two Ohio men have been select
ed to care for the livestock. Laurel
r. Bauman of 113 Vine Street,
Bluffton, Ohio, and Paul OVercash
of Route 3, Arcanum, Ohio will
feed and water the cattle on the
S. S. Columbia Heights and during
the train and truck travel from
Istanbul, Turkey to Tehran, Iran.
They will witness the placement
of the bulls in the artificial insem-
ination centers and observe live
stock conditions in Iran before re-
turning.

which 100000 are water buffaloeS.
The native cattle weigh but 600
pounds and give approximately l.
275 pounds of milk a year. BY
crossbreeding, the offspring sired
by the Brown Swiss will give two
or three times as much milk as
the mother, be larger and a better
beef producer, and can be used for
draft purposes if necessary"
Also participating in the cere-
mony were two Iranian students:
Mr.. David Senehi, student at Ohio
Wesleyan University, Delaware,
Ohio and Mr.. Cody. Ganjai, now
studying at Ohio State University,
Columbus, Ohio. 1t was their task
to fasten the straps holding Swiss
bells, on which were engraved in
Persian, "To the people of Iran
from the people of the United
States"

Judge Decides
Against EIyria
Turnpike Petition

In a decision made public today,
Judge Dana F. Reynolds of the
Common Pleas Court of Franklin
County held that the Ohio Turn
pike Commission is not required to
submit the plans for Ohio Turn
pike Project No. l in Elyria to the
Elyria Planning Commission.
Judge Reynolds in his decision
said that the Ohio Legislature in
enacting the Turnpike Act gave a
specific power to the Turnpike
Commission to determine the loca-
ton of turnpikes which power was
limited only by the provision that
the location be approved by the
Governor.

Elyria that the Turnpike Commits
sion must submit the plans for the
location of Ohio Turnpike Project

Frissen Wins 1853
Corn Picking Crown

The 1853 corn picking champ
ion is Bill Friessen of Sioux Falls,
South Dakota.
Plotting a New Idea one-row
machine, Friessen turned in the
top score among. 20 contestants in
the fifth national contest at Bloom
ington, Illinois, Saturday.
The Minnehaha County farmer
scored 78.1 percentage points de-
spite tinder-dry leaves and huSks,
and glass-brittle stalks that have
plagued farmers throughout the
corn belt during one of the driest
Falls on record.
Victory was double sweet to
Friessen this year. In 1852, the
South Dakota picking king hauled
his machine more than 700 miles
to southern Indiana, only to miss
capturing the coveted national
crown by less than one percentage
point.
His winning margin this year
was almost five percentage points
ahead of the nearest one-row COM
petitor and best over all per-
formance of the day.
Discussing the contest with his
running mate from South Dakota,
Giles Greenway of Mitchell, Fries
sen said:
Il figured to win, but the COM
petition looked stiffer than last
year. Every one of these men was
a champion when he left his home
state"
Though he bowed to Friessen in
the final summaries, Greenway did
top all other pull-type two-row
machines with his New Idea pick
er.
Relaxing in the cab of the
Chevrolet pickup truck he was
awarded as winner of the National
Cont st, Friessen commented:
Even though the men picking in
today's contest were supposed to
be among the country's best oper-
atOrs, none of us scored 100 per-
cent. We all ought to remember
that when we go back to our own
corn fields-it shows a little ex-
ira care will put more profit BUSH
els in the crib"

No. l to the Elyria Planning Com
mission is inconsistent with the
purpose and expense provisions of
the Turnpike Act, Judge Reynolds
said in the decision. He added that
the Legislature had directed that
the Turnpike Act should be liber-
ally construed to effectuate the
purposes of the Act.
1T is the general rule that spe-
cial statutory provisions in a sta
tute are controlling as against gen.
eral provisions in another statute"
Judge Reynolds said in the de-
ciSion.
Following the rule and having
in mind the expressed purposes of
the act under consideration, the
Court concludes that the general
provisions of General Code Section
1862 (upon which the City of
Elyria based its plea for a writ of
mandamus) are not applicable
here, but that specific authority
granted the Commission in Gener-
al Code Section 1901 (the Turn
pike Act) is controlling and that
therefore the Commission has no
duty or obligation to submit to the
City Planning Commission of the
City of Elyria plans for the loca-
ton, character, extent, etc, for the
proposed turnpike" the decision
continued.
The City of Elyria filed its suit
in June, 1853. On September, 1853,
the Turnpike Commission deliver
ed the plans for the turnpike in
the vicinity of Elyria to the Mayor
of Elyria subject to the condition
that the delivery was made with
out conceding the legal right of
the City to require the delivery
and without conceding that there
was any legal basis for the City's
suit.

1853 Dilema

natural athletes ever to play at
Farmville High School, has resolv-
ed a dilemma that contronts high
school youngsters these days. CIV

Franklin had three choices: col
lcge. where he is assured Of ade-
quate scholarships if he succeeds;
military service, likely to come
sooner or later whatever choice
is made NV. and professional

FTanklin'S case an extra twist not
faced by many youths, although
the others still face the first two
choices
1t is generally Well-knoWn that.
Franklin had enticing professional

nevertheless.

A great lover OF the out-of-

chose college and the study Of
