bales of oat straw, truck racks,

Miller believed the buildings were
also insured by Mrs. WhiteSide,
who could not be reached for
comment.
London's Volunteer Fire Depart

to the intensity and advanced
state of the fire, could not bring
it under control Origin of the

Mr.. Underwood has represented
The Ohio Society in many success
sful campaigns for legislation to
provide service for the physically
handicapped. At present he is
directing attention to The Ohio
Society's special projects for ex-
panding services for epileptic per-
sons, cerebral palsied children,
and children who have speech and
hearing handicaps.
Quoting from Mr.. Underwood'S
address on the Societys work:
"The Ohio Society is interested
in a broad program which will
bring to the handicapped of Ohio,
physical care, special education,
vocational guidance and employ
ment. For many years after its
founding in 1919, the Society was
concerned chiefly with the ortho-
pedically crippled child only. To-
day, however, it is concerned,
within the limits of its resources,
with any type of condition, whe-
ther orthopedic or not, which
handicaps the child or adult ply
sically, providing we do not dupli-
cate the work of other agencies.
Camping for hundreds of Grip
pied children and the organization
of county societies for crippled
to provide services needed in their
communities, are continuing act
tivities of the Ohio Society, with
more than 10 counties organized in
the state.

London School Board Lets
Contracts On School Rooms
New Addition TO
Aid 0vercroWding

London was assured of three new
schoolroorns as the local Board of
Education awarded the building
contract to the Modern Sales and
Construction Company of Will
mington Ohio. This company sub
mitted the low bid of S29, sos. AZ,
which was later pared to S28, ,387.-
50. The savings was made possible
by eliminating a connecting corri-
dor costing 81, 1878, and utilizing
part of the money thus saved to
provide wooden floors instead of
asphalt at a cost of S539.98.
The NJ. w. Tyler Electric COM
pany, lone bidder on the electric
al work in the new building, was
awarded the contract at S2,641.O7,
a total of S82.36 less than the
original bid, due to the elimina-
tion of the corridor.
Heating and ventilation con-
tracts have not yet been let, but
the board is hoping to have these
completed soon.
An interesting sidelight is the
fact that in 1916, S45,000 was al
located to provide additional
classroOms over the first grade.
Now, with building costs even
higher than at that period, the
public schools are getting an ex-
ira classroom and a more desire
able arrangement with only
slightly higher expenditure.
Supt. J. J. Hartley expressed the
gratitude of all for the approval
of the levy which made this pos
sible. THE citizens of London have
made a generous gesture. and we
have kept the faith" he said.

Bender Says Ike's
Farm Policy Must
For Prosperity

Columbus Equalization Of
the income of the farming popula-
ton and city workers is vital to
the future of America and this
has been one of the primary OBJ
iectiveS of the Eisenhower admin
istration," Congressman George
Fl. Bender maintains.
Congressman Bender, Republican
nominee for u. S. Senator, said
that one of the principles of the
present administration is fairness
to every group in the American
population
I'VE know we cannot have per-
manCnt prosperity in our country
unless the income Of our farmers
enables them to buy the products
of our manufacturers" Mr.. Bender
said. He added: In the past 20
months we have carried forward
the greatest operation Of grain
storage facilities in American his
tory. This program has involved
the purchase of grain bins and the
intelligent use of our idle maritime
fleet for the storage of 350000,000
bushels of grain. To help farmers
and warehouse men we have ex-
panded storage construction loans
and provided a five-year period
for tax charge-off of profits,
Emergency loans on wheat in tenn
porary storage were made avail
able for 1858 and 1854, and a con-
tinuous program to encourage
grain storage right on the farm
has been put into operation.
