When army worms invade, as
they did in June, the pilots day

Ohio StreamlineS
Election Laws

COLUMBUS, o. John o. Pub
lie came out of the deliberations
of the Ohio Assembly with a
number of helpful changes in the
Ohio election laws which will
make it easier for him to legally
exercise his voting privilege, ac-
cording to Secretary of State Ted
w. Brown, who spearheaded the
passage of this beneficial, stream
lined legislation. And Mrs. John
q. Jared well in some of the re-
visions too.
Persons working with the cleo
ton laws for years have COM
planned of various inconsistencies
and contradictory statutes which
have crept in as constitutional
amendments and new laws have
been added. The result was a
thorough study by Secretary of
State Brown who, girded with the
recommendation of County Elec-
ton Boards, Ohio citizens, and
organizations interested in cleo
tions, went into a huddle with an
appointed legislative committee
comprised of members and clerks
of Election Boards to prepare the
essentials of a bill which was
later introduced. This group care
fully sifted through all of Ohio's
election laws for several weeks
in an effort to streamline them.
The many needed changes were
put in the form of bill later
passed by the Legislature at its
session just concluded. The new
law will not go into effect until
January l, 1854, thus avoiding
confusion in the operation of this
November's General Election.

Washington C.H. To
Improve Disposal
Plant Facilities

WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE
The first of two major steps in
the improvement of the Washing
ton c. H. sewage disposal plant
facilities is to be taken in the near
future.
Council at its last meeting au-
thorized City Manager James F.
Parkinson to contract for the in
stallation of a floating cover 80
feet in diameter for one of the
two sludge digestion tanks.
It's cost was estimated at around
$1,000.
The installation is being carried
out at the insistence of the Ohio
Water Pollution Control Board, it
was pointed out at the meeting.
The board had found the pres
ent treatment inadequate about
year ago, but granted the city per-
mission to continue operations for
a year from that time.
Inc next step IN the improve
ment program is to be the install
lation of what is known as q
heater" and a circulating pump,
both of which are designed to
speed up the digestion" of sludge
so it can be run out into the sludge
beds more thoroughly digested
and faster and later hauled away.
With the speeding up of the sludge
digestive processes, it was explain
ed, the pollution would be reduc-
ed because the capacity of the fa-
cilities would be increased.
The installation of the heater is
calculated to cost around $4,000
Bigger sludge beds are to be put
in also.
The entire cost of the program
Is estimated at between $4,000
and $4,000.

Daredevil Pilot
Says Crop Dus+ing
Is Safe Business

Bill Redeker, daredevil flier
who does crop busting in Madison
county for Aerial Services, Inc,
says, "I Fly Conservative" which
is his answer to a recent Saturday
Evening Post story, Il Fly With
Death"
Right after the war, when there
were surplus planes for $780," he
admits, "a lot of people got into
the business who had no business
in it,"
Farmers don't want to see
somebody killed. Ted SCHNEIDER
and I look over a field, the wire,
the trees-and plan how to fly 1t.
In four years of crop-treating
around here, we haven't had
plane accident of any kind"
Then Bill remembered. "I'n
have to take that back. Some
body forgot to shut a gate, and
once we lost all the fabric off one
plane-when 120 hogs liked the
taste"
He freely admits good fortune
in years of landing in farmers
back pastures and missing cows,
culverts and frogponds.
Biggest hazard he faces Is the
way people treat him for two
weeks in the spring. That's when
he and Ted are spraying benzine-
hexachloride, which has a power
full and clinging aroma.

August Average
Accident Month

August is practically an average
month for accidents. The trend
that the month shows may give a
clue regarding the 1858 fatality
total, which at present is about
$50 below the 1852 casualties.
Edwin H. 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-
erly refrigerated food on picnics.
It 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"
/. Keep foods for the picnic
cold. Salads with mayonnaise and
similar dressings; sandwiches with
the so-called IS la d. filling;
cream pies-these are not safe
foods for the picnic-unless they
are kept cold-refrigerator cold.
Bacteria grow enough in a few
warm hours to make your family
really i'll.
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 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.
l. Have at least three steps
above the one you are standing
on. This gives you something to
grab if you need steadying.
2. Limit your reach to 8 feet be-
yond the sides of the ladder. AL
most every case of a ladder slip
ping results from over-reaching.
3. All this means nothing if the
ladder is not firmly placed. Put a
board under the feet if the ground
yields. A block under one foot will
help level it. Climb the ladder
only when it is stable and secure.
Oddly-August is the month
when motor vehicle accidents
start their climb toward the De-
cember peak. Safety people hope
that the next 81 days run below
last year. Otherwise there is a
strong possibility that this years
casualties will exceed 1852 totals.

Negro. and ID. c. Apperson, real
tor.
The bill stated that the section
is covered by a restrictive coven-
ant, which restricts ownership of
homes in the area to white peo-
pie.
The bill charges that Apperson
has been trying to induce whites
to sell their homes to Negroes and
finding colored purchasers, des-
pite his knowledge Of the restric-
tons in the deeds. The bill further
charges Apperson induced Green
to sell his home to Williams.
The bill also asks specifically
that Green be enjoined from sell
ling and Williams from buying the
home, and that Apperson be en-
joined from inducing" any such
sales. The court is asked to award
damages that may have been in
Cured.
Prior to the suit. a petition pro-
testing the methods of some real
estate dealers dealing with pro-
spective Negro purchasers OF
homes was signed by about 125
families in the Fordhurst sub
division.

has voted a hands-off policy to-
ward the issue.

To Keep Citizens
From District

Memphis. Tenn. e AMP A
suit seeking an injunction to stop
the sale OF certain homes to Ne
groes here was the latest effort
OF some whites here to keep
colored persons from living in
what the whites consider their
neighborhoods
A group OF South Memphis
home-owners filed the suit in
Chancery court asking for the
injunction to keep Negroes from
buying homes in the Fordhurst
Subdivision, The suit also asked
that the court void any sales al
ready made in the area.
The subdivision is bounded east
by Arkansas. west by Riverside,
south by Waldorf, and north by
South Parkway. A heavy Negro
population lives south and east of
the subdivision.
The action last week was not
the only one taken by white peo-
pie in Memphis to keep colored
from property in certain neigh
borhoods here. Homeowners Of the
