doubt the exact number of "resi-
dent freeholders" in the area in

date.
Both sides claimed a majority
at Mondays hearing and County
Commissioners frankly admitted
confusion in view of the large
number of names withdrawn from
original petitions for annexation.
Auditor Melvin Guth said the
proponents petition originally con-
tanned 78 names, but that total
of % subsequently had asked to
be withdrawn.
Most pressing question, attor-
nieS on both sides admitted, was
to determine what constitutes a
majority of resident freeholders
in the area.
Prosecuting Attorney Myron A.
Rosentreter, legal advisor for the
board of commissioners, ruled that
the board could proceed with the
hearing if it so desired.
In opening the case for pro-
ponents, Attorney Morton pointed
out that the area now has all the
aspects of a municipal corporation
because it embraces business and

marker on his humble grave.
Nobody knew much about
much over 100 pounds in all IL
around the E. Second-st stores,
manning broom here, shoveling
snow there, or polishing window
somewhere else.
He was believed to have some
relatives in Buffalo, but nobody
knew just who they were. Timmy
didn't talk much about his past
life. But he was everybody's
friend, and he was always on call
to lend hand for odd jobs.
The state buried him. There
was a handful of people at the
funeral, conducted at the Sanders
funeral home by the Rev. FIR. Earl
Schmidt. There were three bou-
quets of flowers. One came from
the Coffee Club" at the Home
Restaurant, and one came from
the staff at Bob's Sandwich Shop:
A group of other downtown friends
combined for the third floaral
offering.
Bob Underwood sparkplugged
collection campaign on behalf of
those who said they wanted to do
something for Timmy in a way
more substantial than flowers.
A lot of people who knew and
liked the quiet little guy were
quick to kick in with bills and
half dollars.
Timmy slept at the Modernistic
Barber Shop, operated by Austin
Clark and Elton Patchett, much
of the time when his funds were
low. They made their shop avail
able for him to shave himself in,
too.
The little guy with the glasses
and the cap worked for Lock Mar
shall for couple of years, clean
ing chickens in the days when Mar
shall Inn chicken dinners brought
people here from all over the
state. He once worked at Camp
Perry, too.
Timmy used to like nip, but
a bad time with an ulcer stopped
that years ago. Nobody ever re-
membered Timmy making a nusi-
ance of himself, even in pre-ulcer
days.
Cancer had kept Timmy in pain
more than most people knew, the
last year or so. Six weeks ago he
went to Magruder hospital, and
two weeks later was transferred
to st. Vincent's charity ward in
Cleveland.
81 won't be back, he told the
waitress downtown quietly as he
drank his final cup of coffee be-
fore leaving for the hospital.
He didn't come back. But little
Timmy would be mighty proud
and happy to know that this down.
town friends didn't forget him.

development of such qualities as
resOurcefulness, initiative and self
reliance.
Last year the day camp fee was
one dollar per girl and the camp
was able to come out with SOC left
over because of the generosity of
counselOrs. They supplied many
things that were used in the menus.
This was very kind of them and
helped get Milford Day Camp off to
good start, but it cannot be ex-
pected of them to continue to do
this. This year the fee will be 50
per girl and three-fOurths of this
amount will be used for food. The
camp would not be able to charge
such a small amount if it were
not for Laurence Sharp, owner of
the Silver Hill Dairy, who will do
nate all the milk used in the day
camp. This is most generous of
Mr.: Sharp and the camp staff an
preciates his kindness. The Milford
Day Camp is able to operate cheap
er than other girl scout day camps
because of Mr.. Sharp, Mr.. LOvett
and Irwin Bowman Mr.. Bowman
borrowed tents and set them I'D

kindly offered to do this again.

the first settlers carried their Bible
and gun. In this present day, the
speaker pointed out that it is now
the bomb and the Bible which is
predominant and the need is vital
to forget about the bomb and place
cur trust in the Bible and our God.
He discussed women as cOnsum-
ers; as economic citizens; as good
neighbors and women in the home.
He urged that as consumers, guard
ians of the budget, Christian women
should be concerned with the
bread Of life as well as food; be
concerned that they travel the
Kings highway as well as the ev-
eryday travel on roads in daily
life and emphasized the import
ance of Keeping Up With God"
rather than an effort to keep up
with the Jones'" He cited the ac-
cOmplishments of women in bet
terment Of world conditions; at
home in the field of elimination of
child labor and sweat shops and
for better housing; their contribu-
ton to the good neighbOr policy at
home and abroad Lastly he dis
cussed women in the home and
stated that economic problems of
families had in a large measure
taken many women from their
homes to aid in bread-winning and
sometimes just to earn money for
particularly desired cOnVeniences
or Injuries. "This," DR.. Mulligan
pointed out, "leaves the care Of the
children in the home to baby sit
teFs." Going back in history he
tracved the fall of Rome to the
fact that Roman women delegated
Che care and raising of their chill
dren to baby-sitters, or nurses who
were slaves. He cited the reports
on increasing juvenile delinquency
cases, the greater majority of which
upon investigation stem from con-
ditiOns in the home and urged
Christian women and women eV-
eryWhere to concentrate on home
life and Christian training for their
children.
Mrs. Edward B. Green presided
over the session which began at
10000 a. m. il Grace Church. She
extended a welcome to women of
churches represented in the meet
ing, from MillsbOrO, Harbeson and
Georgetown and led in the re-
sponsive reading of the opening
prayer. Four readings on the pro-
gram Of the United Council of
Church Women were presented by
Mrs. Wesley Bullock, Grace Church,
MillsbOro; Mrs. G. Howard Baer,
Wesley Church, in Georgetown;
Mrs. Albert Early, First Presbyter-
ian Church, and Mrs. Albert David
son, HarbesOn Methodist Church.
