Story of Ohio

An intriguing tale of Ohio is
found in This Is Ohio" one of
West Jefferson library's popular
books reported on as follows.
Grace Goulder liant received
the coveted Ohio Governors S
award in 194S, the only woman to
be so honored.
Recognized by many Ohio or
ganizationS and historical societies
for her contributions to the cul-
ture and education of Ohio citi-
zens, she is just the person to tell
us many things we do not know
about our native state.
"She does so in This Is Ohio
Each of the SO counties is separ-
ately considered. It's industries;
unusual historical occurrences;
how it got its name and so on.
Mrs. liant came from an
early Ohio family and so was
brought up on the history and lore
of our state.
Perhaps you have heard many
of the things she tells or have
seen some of the places described,
but all togther in the book they
make a fine impressive record of
a great state"

warm hours to make your family

2. Discard all medicines that are
not in regular use. Don't toss a
partly full bottle in the trash.
Some youngster might play doc
tor" with fatal results. Dump un-
used medicine down the sewer.
Rinse fluid or dust from the bottle
before putting it in the trash.
3. Read the label-even if that
means putting on your glasses,
turning on a light in the dark of
night. Be sure all harmful chem
icals are kept out of children's
reach.
4. Never put any of these chem
icals in a cup or glass. Someone
might mistake the fluid for a bev-
erage-or think the dry powder
was salt or sugar.
The small number of falls
around home may indicate that
most of the high climbing jobs are
out of the way until it is time to
remove screens, install storm win
dowS or clean out the roof cutters.
Davis said there are three import
ant ladder precautions that will
reduce falls from a height.

August Average
Accident Month

August is practically an average
month for accidents. The trend
that the month shows may give
clue regarding the 1858 fatality
total, which at present is about
3GS below the 1852 casualties.
Edwin II. Davis, President, Ohio
State Safety Council, pointed out
several. peculiarities in last years
record. August was the highest
month for poisonings and the low
est for falls in home accidents.
Frankly, we don't know why
there were So many fatal poison
ings in August" the safety head
told us. 1T could be from improp-
crly refrigerated food on picnics.
1t could be folks taking wrong
medicines. There does not seem to
be any good reason for this oddity
in the statistics. Here are several
hints that will keep your family
free from accidental poisoning"
I. Keep foods for the picnic
cold. Salads with mayonnaise and
similar dressings; sandwiches with
the so-called IS ala d" filling;
cream pies-these are not safe
foods fot the picnic-unless they
are kept cold-refrigerator cold.

Since the government has TAX

Welfare Unit Backs
New Plan for Shiftinq
Training School Girls

The blueprint for shifting Ma
tional Training School girls to
the Industrial Home School for
Colored Children at Blue Plains
was approved yesterday by the
Board of Public Welfare's Plan
ming Subcommittee.
Under this plan two cottages
at Blue Plains will be turned
over the girls instead of the one
cottage in the original plan for
the transfer, approved by the
board last week.
The girls will be moved to one
cottage while the other is being
painted and renovated. Mean
while, the so boys who will leave
the Blue Plains institution to
make room for the girls will 60
to the Junior Village on Lough-
boro road-the reservation which
the National Training School for
Girls now shares.
Training Activities Planned.
After the boys have moved and
plumbing repairs and painting
have been completed, the girls
will move into the other cottage.
Their original home at Blue
Plains then will be used as an
Office and training activities
building. These training activ-
tiles will include cosmetology and
home economics units.
The girls will get their aca-
demic lessons in the Blue Plains
school rooms with the boys.
Other training will be given in
shops on the premises-such as
the laundry.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea explained that the decision
to use two cottages instead of
one was based on the need to
separate living quarters of the
two groups (boys and girls) and
would result in the girls occupy
nig one end of the reservation
with two administrative units
between them and the boys cot
tages." He said it was also based
on the need to provide additional
office space and activities area
for the girls.
Capacity Will Not Increase.
This will result" he said, "in
our inability to increase the total
population for boys to 100 as pro-
posed in our 1854 budget and will
mean that the total capacity for
boys in the two institutions 0n-
dustrial Home School and Junior
VILLAGE will not be any greater
than we are now operating and
will mean that we shall continue
to release some boys to the COM
munity who would profit by long
er institutional care, assuming
that our intake continues at the
present rate"
Mr.. Shea said the ideal would
be to house the girls in both cot
tages to permit proper segrega-
ton by age and behavior prob
lens. Present personnel, how
ever, is not sufficient to cover
both cottages.

0nIyS280,756R Raised
To Date as Drive for
Red Cross Lags

Progress in the 1853 Metro
politan Area Red Cross campaign
for $1,531.000 continued to lag
today. with contributions re-
ported to date standing at only
$239,756, or 1898 per cent of the
goal.
Fund Dire tor Randolph
Bishop reported that contribu-
tions as of yesterdays report
were $4,000 behind the compar-
able progress in last years cam
paign.
This year, the goal is $145,7
higher than last years objective.
The increase represents the To-
cal part of the Red Cross addi-
tional blood commitments for
gamma globulin processing and
expanded recreational program
for the armed forces overseas.
Mr.. Bishop urged the cam
paigners at yesterdays report
luncheon in the United States
Chamber of Commerce Building
to get ahead of last year by the
next report at 1890 pm. Friday.
Government at ! Per Cent.
At yesterdays tabulation, the
Government division stood at Z
per cent of it's $685. 700 quota;
general business, at "a per cent
of $421,800 quota: residential,
at 80 per cent of a $125, 900
quota, and city, at 35 per cent
of a $66,900 quota.
The special luncheon yester-
day was Helen Hayes. The &C
tress read the personal story of
a District Red Cross volunteer,
Mrs. Mamie L. Mizen, whose life
was saved with blood collected
by the Red Cross.
Miss Hayes told the campaign
erS her own enthusiasm for the
Red Cross had increased even
more with the knowledge that it
was working doubly hard this
year for extra funds and extra
blood collections for gamma glo-
bulin processing to fight para
lytic polio.
In Keeping With Habit.
Philip Graham, publisher of
the Washington Post, said the
voluntary Red Cross fund drive
is in keeping with "the old
fashioned American habit of do
ing some things ourselves" rather
than being pushed into them.
Meanwhile, the nursing service
Of the American Red Cross this
month is asking $4,000 Red
Cross nurses to renew their
pledges of volunteer service with
the organization as part of the
birthday observance tomorrow of
Jane Delano, founder of the Red
Cross nursing service.
The day will be marked in
many Red Cross chapters
throughout the Nation by pag-
eantS, teas, open houses and
other special obSerVanceS.
