fic safety. It was also decided that
a strong farm safety program is
essential to a well rounded traffic
safety program.
The National Safety Council be-
lieves that leadership in traffic
safety in rural areas must come
from organized rural people who
are best equipped to direct public
attention to this problem. Through
the efforts Of the National Safety
Council, the various states are be-
ing organized with State Farm
Safety Committees and as a result,
an expanded safety program for
rural people is shaping up.
One example of this fact is the
nationwide campaign to refiecto-
rize farm equipment. State Farm
Safety Committees, All Clubs,
County Committees, FLA Chapters
are all cooperating in this major
activity to achieve a greater de-
gree of safety on rural highways.
Major attention is being directed
toward increased rural support OF
the natiOnjs traffic safety program
Rural leaders are being secured
surveys are being made, better edu-
catiOnal devices are being brought
into play, land-grant colleges are
eoOperating-these and many Othel
plans are being made to bring about
more effective rural support FOL
traffic safety programs.

Sunday was rife with rumors as
to what would be done the follow

a paid advertisement was broad
cast over the Georgetown Radio
Station urging persons interested
in seeing an end made to integra-
tiOn in Milford High School, to be
present at the school the next
morning at $3.50 o'clock.
Monday morning a group of citi-
.zens estimated at nearly 1900, con-
verged on the school Previously
the Milford Radio Station had an
nounced that there would be no
school,
Russell Bradley, president Of the
Lincoln Parent-Teachers AssOcia-
ton, was chairman of the meeting,
which was opened with the Lords
Prayer and a Salute to the Flag.
The petition was then presented to
the School Board, who were on the
stage, together with a number Of
members Of the group protesting
the integratiOn program. Follow
/ ing the presentation of the petition,
a forum hour was held during
which w. Dean Kimmel, president
of the Milford Board of Education,
outlined the local Boards side of
the matter on accepting the Negro
students, explaining that the Board
/ felt they would have faced an in

Mr.. Bradley among them, expressed
the thought that the Board had
acted too hastily in accepting the
graduates from the Benjamin Ban
neker School, and before making
their decision on acceptance, should
have called a public meeting and
informed the people of what was
being contemplated in regards to
the entrance of Negro students in
the Lake View Avenue School

minating his talk by reading a por-
tion of the decision of the United

regatiOn in public schools.

its decision to confer and seek ad

Altho there was some discussion
two weeks ago relative to charging
higher rate for homes heated by
coal, the final decision at Tuesdays
meeting was to make fiat boost OF
50 cents for all patrons.
This decision followed a report by
H. L. Coon that handling ashes of
coal al-bmming patrons did not repre-
sent an additional burden inasmuch
as most of such residents burn their
garbage during the winter months
and therefore there is no need to stop
trucks for garbage pickup. Of the

Seek 99-Yr. Lease
On Quarry As Site
For Swimming Pool
Town To Make Proposal To
Central Ohio Light & Power,
Owners Of Property

Municipal council Tuesday night
approved a proposal by the towns
park and recreation committee that
a 99-year lease be sought on Buck
eye lake and grounds as a means of
providing a site for the proposed new
community swimming pool.
Enacted by the parks and recrea-
tion committee at a meeting last
week, the proposal was presented to
council by Paul Diller, chairman of
the committee.
Other committee members include
DR., B. w. Travis, Gerald Swank,
Maurice Bell and Pete Schmidt.
The 99-year lease is being sought
so that the lake and grounds can be
used for town park and recreation
purposes, and primarily to install d
swimming pool and its facilities, the
council was told by Diller.
Recommendation of Buckeye lake
as the site for the towns proposed
swimming pool grew out of a study
made last year by the Community
Progress association, and planning by
the park and recreation committee
has been predicated on location of the
pool at the eastern edge of the lake.
Buckeye lake and grounds are own
ed by the Central Ohio Light and
Power Co, with headquarters in
Findlay.
