London High On
Approved List

At a meeting of this association
held in Chicago March 1926, 1854,
the London High School was un-
animously retained on the approx
ed list of this association. Con-
tinuously since 1906 London High
School has been a member of this
association.
In a report to the North Cen
trail Association of High Schools
and Colleges it was pointed out
that London High School offers
81 different subjects to students in
the upper four grades. Each day
"a high school classes meet for in
struction under IA different tea
chers. Besides the "a academic
classes that meet each day many
eXtra-curricular activities, such as,
sports, music, clubs, etc, are also
offered for student participation.
This distinguished reward Of
merit is most gratifying to the
community, especially at this time
when high schools are being brou-
ght under more strict policies, re-
gulationS and criteria for the ap-
prOVal of secondary schools.

of the Madison County Children's
Home and her family of 81, We'd
neSday were guests of the London
Shrine Club for the afternoon per-
formance of the Shrine Circus.

was fine in every respect, some of
the acts being most unusual and
outstanding. And on top of this, the
London ShrinerS had provided
funds for the purchase of popcorn,
peanuts, candy, soft drinks, plenty
TO iust stuff themselves, which of
course made their day a complete
success. And believe it or not, she
concluded, in that whole gang of
tired. happy young ones, there was
not a sick stomach. The children
and [ are so grateful TO the Shrin-
crs for their generosity; we have
come TO look forward to the circus
each year
The children were taken i'm the

Route 40 Limited
Access Question
Reopened Here

The recent ruling handed down
by Common Pleas Judge James F.
Bell regarding limited access on
Highway 40 has been appealed by
State Highway Director, Sam O.
Linzell. Linzell said that he will
ask the Second District Court of
Appeals to reverse the Common
Pleas Court ruling.
Judge Bell had ruled that the
highway director had exceeded his
authority in designating a portion
of Route 40 in Madison county as
a limited access highway. The de-
cision came after a suit had been
filed by Dorothca and Frank Roth
well, owners of property abutting
Route 40. At that time the suit
named former highway director T.
J. Kauer defendent. Judge Bell
granted a motion to name Linzell
party defendent substitute as of
Aug, 5, 1852.
The question of limited access on
Route 40 in Madison county is gen.
orally opposed by all property
owners affected. Route 40 has
practically unlimited access for
most of its entire length and local
property owners abutting on the
road i'm Madison county have ex-
pressed their resentment in the at
tempt of the highway department
to bring this section under limited
access.
It is believed that Judge Bells
ruling will stand in the higher
court since the ruling was gener-
ally accredited as being sound le-
gal judgment.

Light Primary
Voting Sc en- Here

Secretary of State Ted Brown
taking an early guess" on the
number of ballots which will be
cast at the Primary Elections, May
4 - estimated that the vote will
fall short of one million.
He has estimated that 525,OOO
Republicans and 425,OO0 Demo-
Gratis will go to the polls on that
date, saying that he believes the
vote will be fairly light,
THERE WERE potentia a /
100000 waters in Ohio in 1852
but only 1,535,O55 voted in the Pri-
maries of that Presidential election
year. In the non-Presidential year
of 1850 the total primary vote
was 1051 ,O64, Brown said.
Allowing for Ohio's population
growth and an increase in regis
tration for the Presidential bal
loting in November 1852, the lack
of contests for many offices on the
Republican and Democratic tickets
is likely to result in a figure be-
low that of 1852.
But Secretary Brown has re-
served the right to make his US
uaI prediction survey and may
change his earlier estimate near
er the date of the election. In most
every instance he has been close
and has sometimes hit the ballot
ing figure ION the nose"

Felty said that his figures indi-
Gated that while a certain number
of trucking companies have moved
out of Ohio recently the state
stands to gain much more than it
will lose. we would lose only 8
million dollars if they all moved
out, Felty stated. 1t had previous
ly been claimed in some quarters
that the State of Ohio has already
lost Sl1 million in revenue but Eel
ty strongly denied that this figure
was true and cited the fact that
this much money would not be
lost even if all trucking companies
moved out of Ohio.
The meeting was called to or
der by president Paul Sanford who
introduced Walter Hamer, secre-
tary of the Ohio association. Mr..
Hamer in turn introduced Mr.,
Feity who gave a most interesting
and Informative talk on highway
problems in general. Mr.. Felty
eaid that his department is now
working out plans for a point"
program for highway violations as
used in several other states. Too,
he defended the aXle-mile tax in
stating that a large Kansas City
trucking firm paid only $3.50 for 2
million miles of travel in Ohio. He
explained this by stating that
many out-of-state trucks have
heretofore used the roads without
purchasing gasoline, taxes on
which, go to keep up Ohio roads.
