CROP Week For
County Nov. 20-27

CROP Week will be held in
Madison County, starting with
CROP Sunday on Nov. 20, when
the Importance of the campaign
will be emphasized in all churches.
CROP Week climaxes prepara-
tions by the county CROP organ
ization for concerted food gift
appeal. Contributions from Madi-
son County will be added to those
from all counties in Ohio, and sent
through Church World Service.
Announcement of CROP Week
was made by County CROP chair
man Harry Turvy, London, Route
2. Since early this year, the local
CROP Committee has been work
ing to set up machinery for the
gathering of locally grown food
stuffs and to set up facilities to
give everyone in Madison County
an opportunity to contribute to
this humanitarian effort. CROP
seeks corn or cash in Madison
county, according to Mr.. Turyy.
The Christian Rural Overseas
Program in Ohio is sponsored by
the State Council of Churches on
behalf of all major denominations.
However, contributors may desig-
nate their contribution for distri-
button overseas by any recognized
voluntary agency for foreign re-
lief. National CROP Headquarters
in Elkhart, Indiana, will see to it
that these contributions are chan
neled through the agency of the
donors choice.
Overseas, gifts through CROP
are handled by native church
agencies or by representatives of
Church World Service. In no case
is distribution based on religious
beliefs or membership in any race.
Need is the only factor determin-
ing eligibility for receipt of food
shared through CROP by Ameri-
cans.

the Madison Co. Board of Elec-
tions, announced Tuesday, Novem-
Der Is, that the official count re-
vealed that the proposed village

firmative Yotes. 1t received a neg
ative vote of 301 in the three vii
lage precincts, 186 in Madison
County and lis in Union County
for total negative vote of 602. Of
the total of 1852 votes, 55 per cent
affirmative was needed. The meas
ure only received 81 per cent.
The proposed Pleasant Twp.
cemetery levy received 372 affir-
native votes and 264 negative vot-
es. Needing so per cent affirma-

per cent.

State Operation
Would Aid County

At the Madison County Com
missioner's regular meeting on
Monday, November IA, a discus
sion was held of the possibility of
the sale of the Madison Co. Ex-
pertinent Farm to the state in or
der to continue to receive funds
for the operation of the farm.
At the present time, the farm,
willed to the county as an expert
ment farm by the Coover sisters,
some 40 years ago, is operated
with both state and county funds.
The county contributes approx
mately $1,000 per year, and the
state contributes an indeterminate
amount. The state at present is
buying farms similar to this for
operation as experimental farms,
and Madison County farmers hope
that they will consider the one
here for purchase.
County farmers say the data
provided by the Experiment Farm
on crop and livestock raising is a
valuable asset to all of Madison
County.
The commissioners have refer
red the matter to Prosecutor For
rest E. Sidener Jr. for a determi-
nation of the legal questions con-
corning the sale of the county pro-
perty.
In other business, the commits
sioners accepted bids offered by
the Paullin Motor Sales of Mt.
Sterling and Sedalia and the Jack
Johnson Chevrolet Agency here
for the purchase of two trucks for
the County Engineer.
