Ohio Farm Man To
Tour Farm Areas
In Russia

What started as an editorial sug-
gestion by an Iowa newspaper as a
program to ease world tensions"
has now made it possible for a
Newark, Ohio, farmer to make
tour of farm areas in Russia.
Ferris S. Owen, Ohio Farm Bu-
reau Federation vice president and
potato grower, is one of the eleven
American farmers picked by the
u. S. Department of Agriculture TO
leave July Is for months stay in
Russia. During the same time, an
equal number of Russian farmers
will be touring the United States.
Selection of Owen followed a
resolution by the state Farm Bu-
reau board, approving of Owens
application. H. d. Heckathorn,
OFBF President, said: I'VE are
pleased that he has been selected
for this important mission" !"
Commenting on the trip, Owen
said: Il feel that this exchange
program can go a long way to-
ward breaking down the feeling
that it is impossible to work with
other countries. This attitude must
be broken before we can have
peace"
While arrangements for the trip
will be made by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, each farmer

RUMOR is TERMED
TEAPOT TEMPEST

Tempest in teapot" SEEM
ed to be the general concensus
of opinion here Thursday with
regard to an article appearing
in an out-of-town newspaper
which purported that "impend-
ing changes" are imminent at
the Madison County Court
house. The article, ostensibly
written by the local correspond
ent for the newspaper, went on
to say that Treasurer Roger
Counts may resign the office of
treasurer. Counts was quoted as
saying that his plans were in
definite but that he may step
out Of the office and 90 back to
teaching.
The article also runored that
several local persons were inter
ested in the affair and Sheriff
HaaoId Bidweil wasAquoted as
saying that he had no statement
to make "untiI Counts resigns"
1t was also rumored that Police
Chief German Clark and sher-
iff's deputies, Robert Allison
and Herbert Markley, we're "re-
portedly interested" in the sher-
ifs job. Commissioner Rodney
PIymelI was quoted as saying
that he might also be interested
in the sheriff's job.
Commenting on the article,
County Republican Chairman,
n. n. Hume, said that the arti-
Gle was without foundation in
fact. Mr.. Hume said that the
scheduled Republican meeting
here Friday is routine affair
and that the whole matter is
nothing but rumor. at appears
that some people want to get
the cart before the horse. Mr..
Counts has not said that he
would resign and to date is still
the treasurer. II surely would
not behoove the committee, the
commissioners or myself to
make any commitments until
such time that Mr.. Counts
chooses. to resign and he has
given no indication to anyone Of
doing that"

Attorney Bases
Application On
Two Main Points

Madison Countys limited access
suit came to the attention of the
Ohio Supreme Court again as John
M Caren, attorney for j. Frank
Rothwell, plaintiff, filed an appli-
cation for a rehearing in the case
in which the high tribunal render
ed their decision in favor of the
defendant, Samuel o. LinZel !,
Ohio Director of Highways.
The decision gave the highway
director the right to declare any
portion of highway in the state
as limited access highway.
The application for rehearing is
based on two points: II When
the director took all access rights
of some abutters, could he then
(as he did permit several of them
to have private driveways enter
ing directly upon the highway
from their respective properties
and refuse the same privilege to
the others 2"
~ q. the court has construed
the law in such a way as to leave
the owners of all property abutt-
ing on state roads completely at
the mercy of the state highway di-
rector, a result never even dream
ed of by the 18th General AS
sembly when it passed House Bill
187."
Mr.. Caren further states that
Hereafter, ownership of property
on state highways will be fraught
with uncertainty, particularly when
TIE director has designated road
a" limited access highway but has
not acquired easements of access
Even after the director has acquir-
ed some access rights, no owil,I
can be sure that he will be allow
ed to keep his rights or his per
NIT, if he has one Under thoss
circumstances, an owner cannot
plan for the future development
of his property"
Action of the Supreme Court or

not yet been announced.
